Some little excitement has been caused
in Columbia county, not far from Augusta,
among the negroes, by a report that a
prominent farmer is making arrangements
to engage a number of Chinese on his
plantation and do away with negro labor
entirely. The negroes have worked their
imaginations up into believing that Chinese
will supplant them in the south on the
farms, and no little excitement exists
among them. They fear the coming of the
Chinese, and believe eventually they will
have to give up their homes and move out.
Inquiries fail to verify or correct the re
ported Chinese movement.
A Crawfordville correspondent writes :
' A party of ladies who were returning to
their homes from the church met with one
of the freight trains just as they reached
the crossing. One of the ladies, out of pure
love of frolic, ran alter the train, and, suc
ceeding in catching the rear railings, she
bounced upon the rear steps, and stood
waving her hand to her horror-stricken
frit nds as t lie train was fast receding in the
distance. They watched her iu anxious
‘‘■.ispense, expecting momentarily to sec:
hi r jump and lie. killed or crippled, Imt not
so, for alter riding some distance up the
i'aid she gave a leap, springing out in the
ail, landing sufulv upon her feet. But it
was a terrible risk, and one that makes me
“builder when 1 think of it.”
The details of l lie murder in Thomas

ville from Alabama a year ago. Boon
afterwards he courted the daughter of

marriage was not a happy one. A few
clays ago Frank's stolen bride left him
end went back to her father’s home. He
followed her and tried to persuade her to
go back with him. Failing in tliin, lie
hnocked her down wit !i a hoe and started to

spreading out his wife’s arms, and pulling
in r head hack, he deliberately cut her
throat. Oldman Jesse was lying sick in
bed. The mother of the girl witnessed
the terrible deed, anil threw a hatchet at

Selma Mail: We are authorized by ntnttv

Selma, beautiful, prosperous Selma, is tin-
only city in Alabama thnt tolerates such a
nuisance, and it is a shame thnt we should
submit to it any longer. This language
may seem a little harsh to some of the
members of this honorable body, but to
such we would say, 'tis better to pet a
' poodle dog than a negro policeman.
Colonel N. A. Flournoy, the former su

over $4010 on his accounts. He also made
a bill of sale of his property to his bonds
men. The supposition that Colonel Flour
noy had left Alabama for good seems to
have gained some prevalence, but it was
; all n mistake. He went away openly and
with the consent of his bondsmen, prnmis-
' ing that he would return anil make nil hon

At Seville, Superintendent Bates is laid
uj) with a very badly poisoned ankle. Per
haps he will lie more careful in future

At Crescent City the loss of the orange

I tatoes, beans, peas, etc., than usual, hence

ing of such a fourth of July celebration at

them in at the mills ahead.
