WHITE CAPS
'
THEY ARE SHOOTING AND WHIPPING
NEGROES
And Doing a Lot of Other Meanmness in
the Vicinity of Arlington--Negroes
Leavicg the County. .
White caps are doing considerable
| devilment in the vicinit y of Arlington,
down in County.
One negro has been killed by them
and several others severely whipped.
On Thursday night Enoch Stubbs, a
worthy and respected colored man, was
' killed at his home by an armed mob.
' Some omne called outto him that he
'wanted a drink of water., It seemed
that Stubbs suspecied danger and ran
' out of the back door. As he did so
lm;my shots rang out on the night air,
| and Stubbs fell sin his tracks a corpse.
. There he was allowed to lay by his
wife until next morninZ berore she noti
fied any body of what had happened.
She was the only witness at the inquest,
and it was a noticeable fact that not a
single other negro put in an appearance,
though there are numbers of
i thea in the community, Tais
leads some to believe that the mob that
kilied Stubbs was composed of men of
his own color.
Those who saw the body of the dead
man say that it was horrible shot to
pieces, every portion of his body from
his head to his feet; being bullet-ridden,
as if his slayers had emptied shot guns,
revolvers and Winchester rifles into his
prostrate form.
During the same week the white caps
visited the homes of George Kimball and
Allen White., At Kimball’'s they took
him and his oldest son from their beds
and whipped them severely. At white’s
house, after making diligent sear:h for
him, and failing to find him, they whip
ped nhis wife unmercifully and destroyed
'a good clock and a sewing machine,
| The negro population is reported to be
Ivery much wroughe up and are prepar
ing to leave the county. Amnother year
will see many of them gone from there.
[ A Veteran Official.
' Mr. John Daniel is one of the few men
| who are so popular as to keep in close
‘touch to the people among whom he
lives. He is universally popular with
both white and black, and is the
only man who bas filled the office of
coroner since {the war, an ;interval of 30
years. The conuty has no better officer
and he never has opposition. Duty is
his watchword. ‘

THE GREAT STORM,
Thousands of Lives Lost and Millions of
Property Destroved.
A fearful storm swept along the Gulf
coast last week, inflicting a great loss of
life aml property. Mobile and New
Orleans and the country surrounding
them seem to have suffered most, though
details of the disaster in remote places
have not been received. Enough is
known, however, to agsert that this storm
was far worse than the Atlantic coast
{ cyclone of several weeks ago. Nearly
[ two thousand people were killed and $5.-
| 000,000 worth of property was destroyed.
. More than half of the entire popula‘ion
lin the region over which the hurricane
[swept are dead. Not more than one
| house in twenty is left standing, and the
ism'viving population are in a pitifully
destitute condition, Most of them are
without clothing, for they were aslecp
| when the wind and waves crushed their
| houses upon them, It is known that the
| list of the dead is already sar above
2 eighteen hundred, and only a part of the
devastated country Las been heard from.
‘ Those who escaped give terrible accounts
| of their sufferings. Most of them es
}cape'] on driftwood, rafts or logs, and
' were floating from twenty to forty hours
lin the water, driven by the wind which
: was blowing at the rate of one hundred
and twenty miles an hour. More than
one hundred and fifty small vessels are
missing and are do doubt lost with all
on board. The entire gulf coast and
bayous, lagoons, swamps and streams
are strewn with wreckage and floating
dead bodies, furniture, dead cattle and
horses. Hnge tidal waves twenty feet
high, driven by the hurricane, surged
over the islands and far into the interior,
carrying death and destruction in their
wake. Tlsit not probable that the nam
ber of the killed will ever be known, nor
that a correct estimate of the property
destroyed can ever be made. '
S e
Successful Farming.
Lots of Terrell county farmers have
made good crops this year, but we have
heard of none who have beco as saccess
ful as Mr. 3. D. H.tcher. With three
mules Mr. Hatcher has made 50 bales of
cotton, 1,200 bushels of corn, 1,600 bush
els of oats, 100 bashels of wheat, anu
other preduce in proportion. Resides
this, Mr. atcher has forty head of hogs
to kill this winter that will make him
6,000 pounds of pork. It is such farm
ers as Mr. Hatcher that make Terrell
icounty the best in the state.

PRIMITIVE BAPTISTS
HOLD THEIR ASSOCIATION WITH
CHICKASAWHATHEE CHURCH.
Large Attendance and a Good Meeting.
Prominent V inisters--Visitors Roy
ally Entertained.
Friday the Harmony Primitive Baptist
Association convened with Chickasaw
hatchee church just east of the city
limits, and continued in session through
sunday.
It was one of the best and most profit
able meetings the association ever held,
and the attendance was unusually large.
On Sunday the crowd was immense. ASs
many as 1800 vehicle were counted on
the grounds, and the number present
was estimated at 5,000 people.
The association embraces Stewart,
Sum‘ér, Webster, Terre!l, Lee Randolph
and Calhoun counties, and therefore
covers considerable territory,
Among the prominent ministers in at
tendance were: Elder Hezekialh Bussey
of Columbus, Elder Lee Hanks of Ozyrk,
Ala., Elder W. Lively of “)pelika, Ala.,
Elder Godwyn of Pelham, Elder D. H.
Pelham of EShorterville, Ala,, Elder
Bush of Fiorida, Eider P. G. McDonald
of Vienna, and Elder Adams, of Jones
coun y.
Deacon J. R. Battle, of Andersonville,
was moderator of the association and
made a model presiding officer, while
Elder Rufus Jenning, ot Terrell, was the
eficient clerk.
The members of the Chichasawhatchee
church and some of the citizens of Daw
son threw open their hemes to the visit
iny brethren and they were hospitably
eutertained.
Every day of the association full bas
kets of good things had to be carned
bazk home, for it was impossible to con
sume such a vast quantity of edibles.
On Thursday and Friday mnights
and Sunday morning and Sunday uight
the pulpit of the Baptist church in Daw
son was filled by some of the visiting
pr:achers, and their able discourses made
a good impression on their audiences.
As said in the beginning of this article,
it was a very interesiing and profitable
meeting. All the visitors were charmed
by the gene:ous hospitality of our people.
