Two or three negroes bounded down
an Athene student and murdered him
a few days ago. Rountree, Ripley and
Twiggs, students, went out one ov
for a walk, and were followed by three
negroes, who passed them several
times before their insults were resent
ed. Finally tho negroes, after passing
and repasaiiig the students, they suc
ceeded in making Waller Roundtree
resent the second or third insult, which
grew out of some remarks made by one
of the negroes in reference to giving
the sidewalk. One word brought on
another, and Roundtree kicked Frank
Johnson, who took deliver-de aim at
Roundtree with a pistol and fired, mor
tally wounding him as he walked away.
Several shots were fired by the negro
at Ripley and Twiggs, who were per
stieing him, without anything to defend
themselves with. The negroes were
arrested with some difficulty, and con
fined in jail. At night large crowds
of negroes assembled at the jail and
threatened to release tho prisoners,
iiuultingevery white person that chanc
ed to pass that way. An extra police
force was put on and tbe jail well
guarded. The police were abused nnd
cursed by tbe negroes to their satisfac
tion. Tbe murder was a premedita
one, as tbe circumstances show that
they armed themselves for the conflict
and started but to hunt for Roundtree,
enquiring of several tbe direction lie
went.
Correspondent to the Constitution
say# : On Tuesday night the blacks were
buying all the atminition And arms
they could find. Notwithstanding the
Mayor requested the merchants not
to sell either side any more, as he
wanted todo all in his power to quell
the riot that all saw was brewing, his
request didn’t nmcuiit to much, so fnr
as the whites were concerned, and by
noon every pistol and cartridge ui the
city was bought up. In fact, some per
sons sold arms at actual coat to enable
the boys to bo prepare for any emerg
ency.
Since the appointment of a colored
post master at Athens a great change
has been notice in our black popula
tion. They have become very arrogant
in their manner, and there have l>een
numerous instances where hut for the
forties ranee of the withes bloodshed
would certainly have occurred. Few
of t >eui even think of giving the side
walk even to ladies, and every look on
their faces show that they feel the po
litical supremacy of their race.
The Coming Revolution.
Farmers say that editors who busy
themselves about bow they should
manage their affairs don’t know what
they are talking about. Thai may be
true to a certain extent. The editor
may In-a fool. lie may net know
lo>w to plant Angora goats so that
their horns run up m the fence cor
ners. He may not know a hale of
cotton from a stack of (odder, a cut
worm trom a drtwitig knife, a razor
hack sow from a Dm li nn bull, hut lie
do< s know that the a I cotton system
has bankrupted the farmers and every
body who has anything to do with
tin in.
Agriculture is the driving wheel to

thrives likewise the trades and pro

Train Robber*.
Kansas City, Mo., March 21 —The
confession of John Land, tbe train
robber, was given to the press to day.
It is the same as anticipated in n pre’
vimis dispatch, and inculpates tbe
James boys, Miller, Little, Bugler.
Cummings, Matt Armstrong Creed
Chapman. There is some dispute be
tween the county officials and Police
Commissioner Craigs, in this city, the
latter desiring to honor the parole
given to Little, while the lormer de
clares that, inasmuch as he has con
tradicted some of his statements and
may be playing false with the au
ilioriiiva, he should be arrested.
Land’s confession is as follows :
At 3 o’clock a. ru. t two men came
to me. They were John Bugler and
Creed C! apman, and they said:
“John, what do yon wan* to work so
hard tor? We don’t work hut get lots
of tnon y.” Bugier said : “How
would you like lo go and help us roll
h train ?" I said ? “t am making $lO
a month and don t believe I will make
more money robbing tiains than dig
ging wells.” Bugler said : “Ifyou will
go, we will insure yon more money.”
I said : “Boys, wlios going in with
you?” Bugler said : “Jesse James,
Frank James, Dick Little, James
Cummings, Chariie Deerduff, Arm
strong, Cieed and myself.’’ I said:
“All right; I will go in with yon.” I
quit my work at once, and all three
ol us started up the railroad toward
Glendale. Alter walking a short dis
tance they left me and struck off
across the country, while I went on
to Glendale. I think it was about 9
o’clock when I reached the platform
of tbe station. I went inside and
John Matts was there.
We had a short conversation about
a drill which be wanted to use, and
then he stepped out of t he depot on
the platform, and I saw a man riding
down the road toward the depot, on
a l.arg** bay horse. He bitched his
In irs",canto up to us .shook hands with
Matts, and turning to me, said, “Mr
Land, I will introduce you to Jessie
.tames.” Shaking hands, lie and Matts
walked away to the other end of the
platfr rm and held a short conversa
tion. Jesse then came up to me nnd
said : “Mr Land, I understand you
are going in with us to rob the train
to-night.’’ I said: Yes sir.’’ Jesse
said, “have you an arms 1 I answered.
Yes, a breech-loading rifle.” He said,
‘‘Be sure and bring it with you Meet
us at the ent back of Jack CoUs’a farm
..„ scon after 8 o’clock as convenient.
Conte alone When you get in 200
or 300 yards of the spot, signal us. by
whistling twice, the answer will be
once ” I then itimed and went l.ck
home. My folks, except my brother,
who was not at home at the time, re
tired soon after sundown. 'Ve bad
no time-piece, I think by broiler
goi homo about 7 o’clock. I then
went to bed with him, he on tbe back
and I on tbe front side. As near as I
can judge, it was a little after 8, when
I got up, took down my rifle, and
slipped out in my sock feet got away
without rousing tiny of the family.
Upon arriving at the cut I gave the
signal agreed upon. It was answer
ed, and I stepped forward and was
met by Jesse James. All the old
gang were there, six of them, and
Armstrong Deerduff, whom I knew
before, and who had joined the regu
lar gang a short lime before, but 1
was the only one ol the neighborhood
boys who had got there. Shortly af
ter Creed Chapman nnd J""hn Bugler
gave the signal and came in. Follow
ing then came Joint Matts alone.
Pretty soon ih" train was head com
ing, and ./esse said : “Boys, we who
are older hands at the business will
stop the train, go through the cars
and get what there is there ; you
fellows run along the outside and fire
fifteen or twi nty apiece to scare the
passenger* ” Jesse stood up on a pile
of rooks on the track and swung a
lantern and th* train came to a stop
within a tew leoi of the obstruction
Chapman, John Busier and myself
stood on the south side of the track,
while Joint Malts and two others
were on the other side. Tbe first
thing they did was to break iuto tbe
exprtss car. We all had on white
masks, and as I began at once to fire
and the excitement was raised. I did
not notice who it was that went into
the cars. Before we had beeu long
at work, I saw a man come Irom the
train with a lantern and start to run
east. John Bugler called out: “Look
tnere ! what doe* that mean t” Creed
Chapman at onoe fired at him, foil wed
by Bugler, and I took the thid shot
Just then r .une one call out from the
train : “Dou’t shoot him, be is going
to flag the freight.” After the men
in the ear* got through, they came
to the head of the engine and were
joined by those on the north side, and
then all of them came over and joined
us tut tbe South side.
We all started off together, went
through the wire fence and went due
south for some distance, when we
wero halted by Jesse James, who
said. “Boys it's death to any man
who gives this-away. Go to your
homes, as though nothing had hap
pened, and meet me on the east fork
of the Blue next Wednesday night
[one week fttjn that night], and we
will divide equal.” We then separa
ted, and I went h'.me and to bed,
without disturbing the family. I went
to work next day, taking my gun
with me, and that is what gave me
away, for someone saw me and told
the oftic**rs of it, and when they came
to wtiere I was at work they found it
and look me and put me in jail here
[lndependence.] We had ell agreed
not to give the thing away, but the
thing got too hot for me, so I
now tell the whole story just as it
was.
St. Louis, April 3.—A dispatch
from S‘. Joseph, Mo., says that
Charles and Robert Ford, who at
one time icloiiged to the James gang
and were engaged in the Wins'on
and Blue cut train robbers, 1 ave been
in Si, Joseph for a week for the pur
pose of arresting Jesse James, but
being afraid, as it is alleged, to make
the attempt, they shot him down on
Thirteenth and, ;LafayeUestreets to
day, and then surrendered to the au
thorities and were lodged in ja ; l.
The shanty where James lived,
and in which lie Was killed, has tbe
appearance ol an armory. A number
of guns, pistols, including a repealing
rifle, a needle gun and r.avy revolvers,
with a good store of ammunition, w;ib
there. #/ sse was in the habit of weal
ing two belts with a brace ol very
fine revolvers and twenty-five extra
cartridges. In a small stable near the
shanty were discovered several fine
horses, Ihe property ol Jamas.
