A Negro Siays in Jail Rither Than Pick
votton For Less.
Whether or not the negrocs of
this county have formed an al
liance, we cannot say. They claim
not, but at the same time they are
trying to regulate the price for
fi)icking cotton. The negroes of
lerrell have made no demonstra
tion other than to state their price
and declaring they will not work
for less. We learn from the forme
ers that sowe of them have given
in and gone to work at the regular
price ot forty cents per hundred,
while others are more obstinate
and are holding out for sixty cents.
A Nuws wan witnessed a very
amusing thing in this connection
in Albany a few duays ago. A 1
dusky gent had violateda city or i
dinance and in eonsequeace was in
durance vile. “A™tender hearted 1
warehouseman, learning of the ne- |
{gro’s trouble, and being ever
ready to aid suffering humanity,
‘and thinkiug it a gocd opportunity
to secure a cqtton picker at 8 rea.
sonable price, went down to the
guard house to make the prisoner l
a proposition. He told the negro
he would advance the fine and als
low him to repay it hy picking cot
ton at fitty cents per hundred.
The negro promptly and flatly res
fused to entertain the matter, as
serting toue *‘it’s wuffsixty ceats a
hundred ter pick cotton, gn’ I ain't
gwine ter do it fer no less,”
The warchouseman was not in~
clined to argue the poiut, and told
the negro he might stay in jail till
sheol froze over. ile left with
evident disgust and a very a!l-fired
opinion of a negro's pertinacity.
WRECKED AT SNMITHVILLE.
The Cannon Ball Train From Aibany Leaps
the Track---Cars Smashed,
The canuon ball train from Al
bany at 4:40 Thursday morning
was completely wrecked just as it
was entering the yard at Smith
ville. It was coming at a good
rate, when the engine struck a
switch which it is thought had
been previously sprung, and leaped
from the track, dragging its train
after it. The engine ran thirty or
forty feet upon the grouud, cutting
a ditch knee deep, and finally
mired up to the middle of the
driving wheel, when it came to a
halt leaning at an angle of forty
five degreess.
A spectator who witnessed the
whole affair describes the mail car
as rearing and plupging like u mad
horse. This car was the worst
dismantled of any of the train,
Only two of thesix cars kept the
track, the others zizzaging like a
rail fence, Nobody hurt.
Attacked by Foot Pads.
From an exchange we get the
following concerning Tom Aveat,
a former typo in Dawson :
J. T. Avent. an attache of the
Brunswick Times, encountered two
tootpads Thursday morning, and,
but.for quick action on his part,
would doubdess have heen killed.
Mr. Avent was returning to his
home near the hospital, and, while
passieg through the dense wood
land just beyond, he was startled
to hear'a brick hurled past his
head. He immediately turned in
the direction from whence the .uis
sile. came, and saw two men stand=
ing not more than ten paces from
him. Ie hardly had time, hows
ever, to take in the surroundinzs
before one of the men cried our:
“There heis!” and then came a
regular shower ot bats. Mr. Avent
happened to be armed and, whip
ping out his revolver, fired three
shots at his assailiants, causing
them to turn and flee. One of
the men seemed *oo move off with
some dL.fficulty and Mr. Avent
feels confident that his aim was
well directed. It is thought that
the parties intended murder and
then robbery.”
e
Bethe! Barbecue.
On last Thursday a number of
geople from the city attended a
arbecue at Old Bethel, about six
miles east of the city, The barbe
cue was given by the good people
of that community, and to say that
it was a success but feebly express
es it. Betweeu forty and fiftv
carcasses were barbecued. All
who went gpeak in glowing t rms
ot the clever peorle who had it un
der management.
The Telegrah Office Moved.
The Western Union moved their
office to the depot on last Thurs.ay
and now whenever Dawsoniteswish
