ARREST RIOTERS URGES RLEASE. Governor Wires Aiken Sheriff on Strike Situation?Promises Protection to Property. Columbia, Oct. 7.?"Reports come to me that sympathizers with strikers are from Georgia side, and as they have violated our statute law, you should proceed to swear out warrants and arrest them if found in this State. Pres^ ent situation would not justify me in i * sending militia at heavy expense to L State, said Governor Blease in a 9 telegram to Sheriff Raborn, of Aiken m - county, in reply to a request from the sheriff for assistance. | The governor's message in full folI lows: f Governor's Message.

Governor Blease is keeping in close touch with the situation in the Horse x reek Valley, and on account ?f the j situation there cancelled an engage- j ment he had to speak at the Pendleton I Fair, tomorrow. The governor will j remain at his office and keep in touch j with the situation, and is doing every- j thing in his power to allay trouble. ; Mr. Thos. J. Cheeks, of Bath, was in the city today in conference with the governor regarding the situation on j ' the South Carolina side of the river, i Mr. Cheeks w-as emphatic in his state* 1 ' ^ 1 ft r\v ment tnat. uie p^opie urn uui wain au?* militia called out, and that while they were in sympathy with the strikers no violence would be offered to track or property. He said if no attempt was made to run cars everything would be i quiet, but he stated positively chat the j * people were cgainst calling out any, militia. Feeling Against Got. Brown. Another Aiken county gentleman j who was present referred to the situ- j ation in Augusta, when several citizens were shot by militiamen after j that city had been put under martial law by Governor Brown, of Georgia, > and he said that the people there were j very bitter against the action of the! governor as a result. Actions o? the parties in North Au-! gusta yesterday in forcing the superintendent to go back to Augusta and in j pulling a strike-breaker off a car that had been run over on the South Caroi lina side added interest to the strike j on the Aiken-Augusta trolley road. No acts of violence are anticipated by the South Carolina authorities, but Governor Blease will keep in close ; touch witii the. situation and do everything in his power to keep down trouble. Sheriff Hears From Governor. Aiken, Oct. 7.?Following the riot in North Augusta yesterday afternoon, it i<s that at least GOO persons participated in an attack upon strike-breakers and guards operating a car to Belvidere, from Augusta, on I the Aiken division, Sheriff Raboro wir* ed Governor Blease for assistance, evidently intending to suppress, through force of armed men, the mob violence and lawlessness now broken forth on this side of the river and in this county, as a result of the strike p.moag the rto-r mon Thp wire was se:it to Cll^W W ui\,u> a ? ~ Governor Blease last night and this morning Sheriff Rabprn received the following reply: i *4Ycur wire received. 1 woul 1 suggest to superintendent, with whom you have been conferring, noi. to -uempt ft to run cars on this side of the river, K as they do not carry necess'ties of life or United States mail, until people 9 quiet down. Reports come to me that1 f sympathizers with strikers are from i the Georgia side, and as they have vio-1 lated our statute law, you should pro-] c=ed to swear out warrants and arrest if found in this State.

If i cars do not run and strikers begin to I x> injure track or destroy property, I will > 6ee that it is protected. "Cole L. Bleaee. "Governor of South Carolina." Where conditions and information warrant same, Sheriff Raborn will cer- j tainly pursue to the letter the course suggested by Governor Blease and ar-' rest all disturbers of the peace unless 1 they slip over the line into Georgia, and even then they can doubtless be ^ easily secured through the proper re^ quisition proceedings. t I Lyon Prepared to Act. ,?fc Columbia, Octoh"~ ~ "fecial: "If i * f The Augusta-Aiken Railway Compan ;:? failing in its obligations in any o 1 these respects and 1 can obtain th | evidenc 1 will proceed against the:: at once," said Attorney General Lyoi in a letter this afternoon to Governo B'-as-e.

A; i I was saying, one day we started tc j ride across the prairie "when the wine ' came up in our faces, blowing at th< rate of a hundred miles an hour or so That tenderfoot opened his mouth t< say something to me.
