Charles Wilson, who operates a pool room in one of the local hotels, was driving through Fifteenth street in his automobile with his wife and child, and says he was unconscious of me taci mat iue ucaa 111*05 wao ucing enforced. He claims not to have heard any challenge, though he saw one of the soldiers standing by the driveway. His machine was fired into, the ball passing through the top. He reached down to toot his horn, he says, and other guards evidently mistook the motion as one to reach for a gun. Other shots were fired and Wilson, though escaping without injury to himself or other occupants of the car, drove down onto Broad street with four big holes shot through his machine. Just before dark the West End sympathizers spiked the long Broad street bridge, a double row of railway spike being driven on each side of each street car rail the entire length of the bridge. At 8.30 a labor mass meeting as-1 sembled at the court house. The meeting was far more quiet than those which preceded it, the net result being adoption of a resolution which has been telegraphed to Gov. Brown, demanding immediate withdrawal of the troops. It is as follows: "Whereas, three of the citizens of Augusta, while peacefully traversing the streets of Augusta this afternoon, were shot down by irresponsible militia, be it "Resolved, That we, the people of A fi arn of o in mosn mootino' acsemhlpH ! -TJk. UUIU, XliUOO ? request of his excellency, Gov. J. M. Brown, that the State militia be withdrawn at once." Leader Stops Crowd. Following the labor meeting at the court House at 8.30 o'clock, which lasted over two hours, a crowd of fully 2,000 people marched out on to Broad street, declaring they were "going to the power house." At the corner of Eighth street an earnest plea made to them by one of their political leaders not to attack the power plant or do any further violence but disperse and go to their homes. Half an hour later a crowd more than half as large congregated four blocks fur ther up town, in front of fire headquarters, and again Iks leader mounted into an automobile and made an impassioned appeal to them, on the basis of a personal plea, that they should not attempt violence, but give him their promise to disperse. Hundreds at a time gave the promise and left. At midnight the streets were clear of the people who have caused trouble. Shortly after midnight the company of troops from Waynesboro was run into tne yards or tne central railway and began to detrain. They are to be immediately put on guard duty around the power plant and the local troops removed, by order of Maj. Levy, who is commanding until the arrival of Coi. W. L. O'Leary, who is on his way from Savannah to Augusta in an automobile. To Take Command. Adjt. Gen. O'Bear, after a long distance telephone conversation with Augusta, has reported to the governor, and he, too, has been ordered to proceed at once to Augusta and, with Col. O'Leary, take charge of the city, Tonight Gov. Brown issued a proclamation declaring "the city of Augusta to be in a state of insurrection" and ordering the immediate enforcement of military law. The customary restriction imposed during martial law are included in the proclamation. At midnight the railway company maintained its former position that it has nothing to arbitrate and that, so far as it is concerned, the strike will be fought out to the end. With th?m it still remains a test of strength between the company and organized labor. \ MOBS IX AUGUSTA GO OX WAR PATH Proeeed to Car Bam and Beat Pp Strikebreakers?May Call General Strike* Augusta, Ga., Sept. 26.?Following the adoption of a resolution providing for a sympathetic strike at a monster labor meeting held by Augusta Federation of Trade* at the court house, attended by quite 2,000 laboring men, a crowd of union sympathizer? attacked the non-union men at the power house at 11.30 o'clock tonight. A maa named Cason has been badly beaten and five men who have been operating cars since the strike went into effect, hav? been taken away in an automobile to be put on the next; train and driven from town. S. I. Furrow and G. W. Peger, of; Xew York, strikebreakers, were less, seriously b aten. They are now at, police barracks and say they ire will-1 ing to leave the city. The names of the others could not be ascertained. At 15 minutes to 12 the mayor or dered the fire department to the power plant with instructions to disperse the mob with water. At the same time a report was made to police headuarters that a mob was moving to the Third street car barn, where it is understood 20-odd strikebreakers are uartered. A squad of policemen have been ordered out and are on their way to that barn now.

At 12.30 Mayor Thomas Barrett called Gov. Brown by long distance phone and asked for an immediate order for j State troops, with the purpose of de!daring Augusta under martial law. Just before 6 o'clock this afternoon one of the cars on the belt line was attacked by a mob on Fifteenth street \ and the conductor, a man by the name of Kelly?one of the men brought here by the company in the past few days? . \vas seriously beaten.

The shooting of citizens last e night has dissipated the belief pretty generally shared yesterday that the B militiamen had their guns loaded with d: blank cartridges. With this fact es- hi A J ft ^ +V*A n/vnf 4-"k UiiTTtAn !

But disquieting reports have all day been flickering in from t( the Horse Creek valley on the South Carolina side of the Savannah river, ** and" though at first denied, have flared tl threateningly up and again. So per- P: sistent were the rumors today that an ^ organized mob was coming tonight ai from the mill towns dn the line of the Augusta-Aiken trolley line to join with s* the strikers and their sympathizers in *e u amrvnctration acrain<zt thp Aliernsta Aiken Railway and Electric company! that the military authorities early this afternoon closed the gates of Augusta 31 against South Carolina. tv Guards at Bridges. Both wagon bridges and both rail- h way trestles spanning the Savannah river were closed to all, except those ^ leaving th-e city, and with these ^ strongly guarded by the militiamen d( and patrolled by policemen, no one ^ was permitted to enter the city. Railway trains enterting the city from Co- w Inmbia and Charkston tonight were ? not interfered with, however, al- ^ t.honsrh onA of these brought in 25|?. " ~ HI strike-breakers from ts'ew York. A report from Aiken early tonight ci was to the effect that a crowd of mill operatives had assembled at Warren- (jj ville, having received intelligence that S6 the strike-breakers were to pass fe through that place, with the intention of stopping and turning" them back. a] There was, however, no trouble at Warrenville, and the arrival of the ^ strike-breakers in Augusta created lit- r( tie or no excitement, which was prob- j ably due to the fact that the military S] authorities today forced the street jr railway company to take off the cars 0 they have been operating in the city ^ under police protection and run them ^ iri+n tV?o r>nr hnrn ,, u Martial law is resting heavily upon a Augusta. There are now on duty five n companies of infantry, two companies Q of cavalry and one Gatling gun squad. n The closing of the city's gates on ? the South Carolina side works a se- a rious inconvenience to the people of ti North Augusta, most of whom find ^ their employment in Augusta. Going A to their homes tonight, they can not a return to the city until after the b threatened danger from Horse Creek valley is allayed, and no exceptions ti are made to this rule.

Robert Christie, who was shot iown last night by the militia, dying i ,t an early hour this morning at a ; ocal hospital, was a South Carolinian, < oming here several years ago from . Barnwell, where he was reared. He 1 ras a traveling man and was in no -Tay connected with the, strike. He < eturned to Augusta yesterday after-1 oon from a trip on the road, and it ; said that when he drove his auto- < iobi!e across the dead line on Fif- ] *enth street and was challenged, he ] )st control of his machine for a mo-. < lent in the excitement and before he ] ould bring the runabout to a stop, was ( red upon. His untimely death is gen- i rally deplored. i It developed today that Ben F. < aker, who was also shot and who i ied tonight, his companion in the | i uggy in which he was riding, Alfred ^ iorn, being killed instantly, fired up- * a the militiamen before he was t Qunded, Baker drove across the ead line, was challenged, and when 1 e did not stop, one of the soldiers i red over his head. He drew a pis- < )1 and returned the fire, and was i hot. It is the opinion tonight of g lose who are best able to judge of ( le situation that, unless the sym- i athy of outsiders for the strikers ? iads them to incite further trouble j ad the street railway company is not c emitted to run their cars on the a ;reets, there will be no further vio- f nee attempted, anc^ while that will { it pnH the strike if will at least re- I _ ice the danger to life and property I r \ L > a minimum, leaving the strike to g miner down to a test of strength be- 0 veen the strikers and the company. n Sympathy Divided. B There is no disputing the fact, p >wever, that-the sympathy of the e iople of Augusta is divided, al- u tough apparently the preponderance t in favor of the strikers. Up and r )wn Broad street, hundreds of peo- !e can be seen wearing on their coat ? pels little bits of white ribbon, on hich the words, "We walk," and ? \.nkle express" are plainly printed. 8 nd they do walk?even the hacks t id auto trucks pressed into service p p ; public conveyances are not over- v owded with passengers. L. A. Gardelle, one of the leading s -uggists of Augusta, has received ?veral anonymous letters because a !W days ago he boarded one of the E ;reet cars manned by strike-breakers id rode a short distance. Mr. Garble stated to friends that he got on S le car unthinkingly but he had not ^turned to his office long before a itter was handed him. The letter low-ed plainly that somebody is makig it his business to keep close tab n those who dare to ride on the cars, [r. Gardelle's offense, the letter told im, would be overlooked if he did ot repeat it, but if he rode the cars gain, the writer of the letter would ot be responsible for the conse- ^ uences. Th? merchants and busi- ^ ess people are, aa a rule, very guard- ^ a in their utterances, and in their ttitude toward the contending facions. Their business is already para- . rzed.

This morning a work car was run 3ut of the power house and up the line towards Aiken. It went a snail's ( pace, however, for two reasons: be- , ;ause for one thing the recent rains a lave washed great quantity of sand )ver the track and because the man n charge was guarding against runling into a loose rail or a trap of an>ther sort. The car was not inter'ered with until it reached a point lear Graniteville, where several men vhn had heard of its coming met it md advised the man in charge of it o go back. He took their advice.
