Ibe companies of the Augusta mili
tia wdl rend'-r a bill to the tute gov
ernment for -ervices rendered In
ing the Rlciitnond county jail on the
! night that Will Robinson, the negro,
waa imprisoned there, and it was fear
ed he would be taken from the Jail by
i a mob.
The militia was on duty from night
fall till the next morning. They were
not at the Jail all night, but held them
selvM tn readiness at the armory for
1 a call to go down there. The Ogle
thorpe* and the other companies of
the Sixth regiment went down to the
! ji l).
The militia will ash the state for
iwo hundred dollar* or more for ser
j vide* and th* bill will be rendered
| shortly iicrhaps lomorrow. The In-
I fgntry boys stayed up all uight nt the
jail and dtd some rather unpleasant
I gitard dut;', which is worth n bit of
compensation from the state. The llus
i sars were in rendiness at the armory
| i tiring the late hours. The bill to be
rendered by the companies will be for
1 two hundred dollars or more, as eta-
I red. and this Is for two days’ service,
' the first half of the night counting as
a day’s service and the second half as
another day s service. The soldiers
of the militia did good service and de
| serve to be compensated by the state
