FLED MINT FIGHT
Correspondent in Church Tower Describes Fall of Bursting
Shells and Mad Rush to Escape. Road to Brussels Crowded
With Refugees
London, 4:50 a. m.—The fighting at
Tirlemont and Louvain is described by
the Ostend correspondent of the Ex
press, who says he witnessed it from
a church tower at Tirlemont first and
later proceeded to Vouvain. He says:
“Until luncheon time on Tuesday
Tirlemont was quiet and normal. Sud
denly about 1 o'clock came the sound
of the first German gun. The artil
lery had opened fire.
“From the church tower is was pos
sible to see distinctly the position of
the German guns and the bursting of
their shells. The Belgians replied
from their positions east of Louvain.
It was a striking sight to the accom
paniment of the ceaseless thud, thud
of bursting shells wit htheir puffs ot
coton-iike smoke, tearing up the
peaceful wheat fields not far away.
Began to Strike.
“Gradually working nearer, the
shells began to strike the houses in
Tirlemont. This was a signal for the
populace, which hitherto had been
confident that the Belgian army would
protect them, to fly blindly and un
reasoningly. All they knew was that
the Germans were coming. From the
tower the scene was like the rushing
of rats from a disturbed nest. The
people fled in every direction except
one.
“I moved down to Louvain, where
everything seemed quiet and peaceful.
Hardwick’s Interests Will Be
Looked Alter Splendidly By the
Delegation From Richmond Co.
Executive Committee Selected Delegates. Yesterday After
noon—The Manner of Selecting Them—The Official Vote
For Hammond Shows 555 Majority
Before It adjourned yesterday af
ternoon the Richmond county demo
cratic executive committee selected
delegates tp the state convention.
The manner In which delegates are
selected Is as follows: The friends and
supporters of the winning candidate
for governor In each county present
suggestions to the executive commit
tee and delegates are selected by the
committee. No provision is made for
the selection of delegates who are
friends of the candidates winning for
the senate or other offices. Thus, If
Judge Harris had carried this county
his friends and supporters would have
been named as delegates to the con
vention, which will meet, so it is said,
on the first of September In Macon.
Hon. Randolph Anderson carried
this county and supporters of Mr. An
derson were chosen as delegates. It
so happens that the delegates are also
enthusiastic supporters of Mr. Hard
wick in almost every case and they
will undoubtedly help look after the
Interests of that brilliant candidate for
the senate In an able manner. It Is
believed that Mr. Hardwick will win
the election.
The following are the delegates:

THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGI
The people sat in the cases drinking
their evening beer and smoking.
Meanwhile the Belgian troops were
retiring in good order toward Lou
vain.
In Panio.
“By midnight the town was in the
throes of a panic. Long before mid
night throngs of refugees had begun
to arrive followed by soldiers. By 11
o’clock the Belgian rear guard was
engaging the enemy at the railroad
bridge at the entrance to the town.
The firing was heavy. The wounded
began to come in. Riderless horses
came along, both German and Belgian.
These were caught and mounted by
civilians glad to have so rapid mode
of escape.
"I remember watching a black clad
Belgian woman running straight down
the middle of a road away from the
Germans. Behind her came the re
tiring Belgian troops, disheartened,
but valiant. This woman, clad in
mourning, was the symbol of the Bel
gian populace.
Always Crowded.
“At some of the barricades along
the routes the refugees and soldiers
arrived simultaneously, making the
defense difficult. All about Tirlemont
and Louvain the refugees continually
interfered with the work of the troops.
The road to Brussels always was
crowded with refugees.

Had Trouble With Hsr Btomsch.
"About four years ago I began to
have trouble with my stomach and
found It necessary to eat sparingly,”
writes Mrs. Bernice Wyandt, Lima,

feeling In my stomach after eating
that was most uncomfortable. J was
also annoyed by frequent headaches.
After taking a number of medicines
without benefit I got a bottle of

were Just the thing. Two bottles of
them rid me of this complaint." For
