LIKE RATS, POPULACE 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: Newt Heggie, D. G. Fogarty, M. C. B. V. D. Underwear, 39c Per garment.

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. Butler Holley, H. A. Woodward, Dr. H. W.
