A Pleasant Prospect.
We no longer hear the wall of
“hard times" among the farmers,
nor of "dull - times” among the
merchants.
And, In truth, why should we?
Thirty thonBand bales cgttou have
been received and sold this season in
Amerlcus at an average of nine and
a half cents per pound, putting in
circulation over one million three
hundred thousand dollars, and
every dollar of which has passed to
planters. This is not all. We may
reasonably hope, notwithstanding
the early maturity of the crop, that
still—owing-to the scarcity of labor
—not more than one-half, and possi
bly, not more than one-third, has
boon marketed.
This is not only a flattering pros
pect for the present, but the system
of high fertilization and rapid culti
vation, recently adopted by the
planters of this section—thereby
greatly increasing their crops and
enriching their lauds—lead us to
hope for even a brighter prospect
for the future.
WORKING FOR A BIG VOTE.
AMerahant Believes the Negroes are
Organising for the Congreasional
Election.
"The Recorder hit the nail on
the head when It said that the ne
groes were going to try and poll a
big vote next month,” said a promi
nent business man yesterday.
•*X am' in a position where I see
a great many colored people every
day," he continued, "and from
snatches of conversations I have
heard now and then, I have been
convinced that something was
working in a political way. Al
most every night from fourtoten
prominent negro politicians gather
at my store and hold long pow
uews, interspersed wi^h the usual
number of drinks, and I notice
they are generally paid for bjr one
man, and he seems to he loaded
with the stuff.”
“Is it always the same negroes,"
asked the reporter.
"Oh, no. Almost every night a
new one drops around. He Is then
taken off by the boss man, and giv
en a long talk. Then two or three
will get together, and after a talk
they will take a drink all around.
Frequently I have seen the ‘boss
man’ give the other negroes money
not much, though, a dollar or so,
but It never occurred to me that
they were plotting against Crisp. I
thought It more likely that the city
campaign was about to open. But
these strange negroes that I see do
not live In the town. Of that I am
sure.”
This is another pointer for the
Democrats. If they don’t want to
place Judge Crisp In danger, they
had better be doing some work to
get a full vote out.
HE GUT HIS THROAT
BECAUSE HE WAS HIT TWICE WITH
AN AXE.
A Bloody Fight and Killing Between
Two Negroes Near the City Yesterday
Morning.
Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Fife will make
Amerlcus their future home. Thus
Amerlcus gains another citizen.
Yesterday morning about three
o’clock oue of the most blood-curd
ling tragedies that has ever been
enacted in this county occurred on
Mr. Bagley’s plantation about three
miles from the city.
One negro man with his throat
cut from ear to ear; another with
bis head beaten with an ax.
The tragedy, it seems, was the
termination of a long feud between
the two men.
Front the evidence it appears
that Nook Hurdle, ooe of the men,
struck Delia Pattersou, the wife of
Charlie Pattersou, the other par
ticipant, and "Unde Bill” Jordan,
a frieud of Charlie's.
About three o'clock in the moiu-
ing Charlie Patterson woke his
wife, Della Pattersou, and made her
go with him to Nook Hurdle’s
house, where he called Nook out
and asked him if he had hit Delia.
Nook replied that he had not. Pat
tersou then told Nook that lie would
Hud out more about it Saturday.
Nook told him that there was “no
better time than now,” and grasp
ing an ax in one hand and putting
the other hand in Charlie’s collar,
he backed Charlie up agaluBt the
house und struck him one lick with
the eye of the ax.- '
Charlie then said, “Quit, Nook. I
didn't come for any fuss. I just
come to ask you about hitting
Della.” „
Nook knocked Charlie to his
knees and Charlie cut N's throat
witli a pocke't knife aud they both
staggered and fell. Charlie got
up again, but Nook did not. Nook
called to Henry Early, who was in
the house, to come out, Charlie
told Delia to go for Mr. N. A. Bay.
Nook’s last words were, “Charlie,
you have killed me.”
Corouer J. B. Parker summoned
a jury and went out to the scene of
the tragedy to hold ail inquest over
the body.
The following is the
CORONER’S INQUEST.
Delia Pattersou sworn, said:
"Tuesday uight I was golug along
aud met Unele Rill and Nook aud
heard them strike, and asked who
struck Uncle Bill, and he said Nook
hit him. My husband asked me
what Nook hit me for, aud I said
he never hit me, aud Cbas. Patter
son, my husband, asked me, how
came it to be told that he had.
Then he said he would flee about it,
and last night about 3 o’clock my
husband made me go with him to
Nook Hurdle’s house. We. Ilyo
about three hundred yards from
Nook’s house, and Charlie, my hus
band, called him out aud asked
him, did you hit Delia, aud Nook
said no. I heard to-night you
hit her and If you did not we will
And out Saturday. Nook said there
is no better time than now—find It
it out now and Nook getting the
axe took Charlie by the collar and
struck him one lick with the eye
of the axe aud backed Charlie up
against the house aud Charlie said
quit Nook, I didn't come here for
any fuss, I Just come to i ask you
about hitting Della
The last time Nook struck
Charlie he knocked him to bis
knoes.and he got up and they both
staggered around and fell by the
oak In front of the door, (Nook Hur
dles’ door,) and Charlie got up but
Nook didn’t. Charlie then told me
to go and tell Mr. Ray to come
there. I didn’t Bee Charlie cut
Nook at all. Nook didn't bit me
the night he bit Uncle Bill.
Charlie and Nook had a few words
of fuss during the summer. Charlie
wasn’t drank. He (Charlie) seem
ed to be very mad when he come
homo and waked me up and told
me to go with him to Nook’s house,
that he wanted to straighten that
run me with his knife. Della Pat
terson Is no kin to me.”
Ryley Colson sworn, said:
“Don’t know anything about the
killing; was a mile from here. I
heard Nook say if Charlie ever
struck Delta that he (Nook) would
take a stick and knock him down.
N. A. Ray sworn, said:
"* I don't know anything aDout the
killing only about the time of
night. When I got out there Char-
tie had the ax In his hand. Before
I got there I heard Charlie, say “I
can’t- take everything Nook.”
When I got to them Nook drawed
up one time and aald, Charlie you
have killed, me aud Isatd what did
you kill him with, and Charlie said
I cut him with this knife. Nook
called Henry before I got there.
I’ve heard of Nook and Charlie
haying fusses.
Charlie Patterson’s statement:
"Last night when I called Nook
upsaud he came out I said that I
heard the other uight when you
struck old man Bill that you hit
Della. He says no I didn’t do it
and I said that's all right. And
that time he picked up the ax and
struck me and I said no need you
doing that, I’ll find out the straight
of this Saturday, I said Nook I
cau’t take everything. The second
time he hit me with the ax he
knocked me to my knees. Ho
struck me three times. We were
not quarreling and ho struck me
and I was on my kuees aud ho was
over me with the ax and I cut him
with a knife.
Verdict of the Jury:
We, the Jury And that Nook Hur
dle was wilfully murdered by a
pocket knife in the bauds of Char
lie Patterson, by catting his neck
vein.

THE DIRT BROKEN.
The Elegant Two-Story Club Building
Under Headway.
meBg.
Henry Early sworn:
"When I waked up Nook Hur
dles called me—I got up and dress
ed, and when I got out Nook called
me again. The last he said, Char
lie had done cut Nook. I saw
Charlie get oft of Nook—didn’t see
Nook hit him with the ax—I got to
the door, I asked Charlie what was
the matter, and he said Nook was
trying to run over him. They have
never lived friendly together since
I have Been there. I been home
since year before laat. The fu-s
was started about some fuss with
Nook and old man Bill Jordan, no
kin to Nook or Charlie. Uncle Bill
told me Nook Jumped on him and
tried to cut him.
tyichel Brown sworn, said:
“Don’t known anytblng>boukthe
fuss last night when Nook wae kill
ed. Nook carried the ax from the
wood pile to ble house laat night.
Noqkblt we Tueeday about eight
o’clock. Charlie aaked me what old
Nook bit we for. Nook slapped
Della Patterson down and came on
to me and -knocked me down and
It is an assured fact.
Yesterday morning dirt was l>(ok
en on the foundation of the new
two-story building of the Amerlcus
Social Athletic Club.
It will be located on Jackson
street just below A. J. Buchanan’s
residence. It i\ill have an elegant
basement, a ground Aoor and a
dancing hall above, and when com.
pleted will be one of the most con
veniently arranged and handsomest
buildiugs in the city. ■
The erection of this building
shows the pluck and energy of our
young men. They have contracted
for all of tho material, which Is be
ing placed on the ground as fast as
possible. Mr. Knight, who came
to the city a short time since to su
perintend the erection of -the new
hotel, has been secured to give the
work his personal supervision.
The olub lias*decided not to give
out the erection of the building to a
contractor, but to go uhead and do
the work themselves by hired me
chantcB and laborers.
Those who have been doubting
that the building would be erected
can now hush their kicking and
lend a helping band to make it a
success.
Do you want to Buy a Farm? If

bargain. Lott Warren,
