A LOSS TO AMBRICUS.
Forsyth. Dec. I4.-(Speclal.)—Last
night at Cabtlnlss, ten miles north of
here, three white men were shot and
nadly wounded by a crowd of sixty
or more excited and enraged negroes.
It looked for a time as if a bloody
riot would ensue, and the indiscrim
inate shedding of blood was narrowly
averted.
Yesterday afternoon Dud McCord, a
young white man, and Calvin Drlsklll,
a negro, had a dispute over some triv
ial matter, and Drlsklll used some very
insulting language to MoOord, which
•aus not resented at the time.
McCord, however, was much enraged
over his treatment at the hands of tho
negro, and bust night, together wUU
two friends, Claude Holder and Nolly
McCord, he called on Drlsklll at the
latter's home. On reaching the negro's
home they demanded to see him, but
there was uo ixspons to their calls,
whereupon they forced an entrance.
Just as they entered, Drlsklll confront
ed them with an axe. A pistol was
thrust into the negro's face at tills
Juncture, and ho Jumped through a
window.
In an Incredibly short space of time
a number of armed negroes came to
Drlsklll'a call for protection.
The McCords and Holder made an
eftort to escape, and ran into a second
crowd of armed negroes. The negroes
opened lire on the young men, and a
general fusllade took place.
The community Is composed almost
exclusively of negroes, and while tho
meleo was In progress they gathered
from every direction and Joined in the
fight. The young men, thoroughly pep
pered with shot, ran to tho home ot
Mr. Wash Freeman, a short distance
away, but were closely followed by the
crowd of negroes, who continued to
Are at them as they ran.
On reaching Sir. Freeman’s home, the
negroes immediately surrounded it and
demanded that the young men be given
over to them.
Mr. Freeman, denied that they were
in the house, and defled the negroes
to enter.
The house was then guarded the re
mainder of the night by more than a
hundred negroes.
At duyllgh't Constable Lltt Johnson
aud a number of others, armed with
Winchester rifles, went to the rescue
of the young men. The negroes at first
3 fused to leave the premises of Mr.
Freeman, but when .they learned that
Constable Johnson and his party would
defend the McCords and Holder at all
hazards they quietly dispersed.
Today the excitement is very great
at Caibaulss, as the negroes openly de
clare, that they are going to punish
the assailants of Drlsklll, while the
whites are determined to protect them
from the hands of a negro mob.
The trouble may culminate In a seri
ous riot at almost uny hour.

Burney officiating. The wedding ».,o
quiet oat, only, relatives and, a few
Me
Citizens Afroid That the 3. A. & M.
Offices WlH Bo Removed.
Amertcus, Dee. 14.—(Special.)—It Is
generally believed that the oale ot the
S. A. and M. railway, as ordered by
the oou-rt, will result in the removal of
Its headquarters from America-. Al
ready It has been rumored that It will
be tanked on to the Illinois Central
system.
This decree has cast quite rt gloom
over the city. The disbursements made
every mouth by this railroad here have
been a source of great help to the
cltlzeus for sustaining trade, and one
can readily Imagine the serious conse
quences of a removal of the head of
fice of this company from Amerlcus.
Our planters arc hiring bauds for
next year by giving them 100 pounds
of cotton per month for the ltest hands.
Thla Is thought to be fairest for nil
parties. In no other way except that
by which the price Is contingent on
the price of cotton does U seem that
any hands are hired.

gold balance in the treasury totrluht. if
a'i wtthdraiwuCs are calculated, umount
to about $99,000,000. As bearing upon the
foral'gn exchange situation, it to be
lieved -that -there -was today an unusual
Inquiry from abroad ter com and moat,
and oneagememe were made for export
aggregating -In value $600,000. This will
reduce the gold exports by that amount
next -week.

RUSSIAN ARMY ODDITIES.
Some Curious Features of tho Military
Bervico of the Czar.
The Russian army Is full of strange
features. Thus tho biggest fellows aro
detailed for duty In the bodyguard regi
ment, "Prcobraahenskl," founded by
ivt-er tho Great, and originally com
posed of that monarch's pergonal
friends, all giants In their way. The
czarVi fnmlly tike great pride In this
regiment, and on tho named day of Its
patron saint attend the festlvttles In
.1 body, usually reinforced by foreign
amlbixsadorH and ministers. Then there
Is tho Isimllowskl Regiment, where
only blondes aro -tolerated, turd the
well-known I’awlow Guards, all of
whom must have trim-up nose*.
The regulations of the Guards Chas-
ac/uiM, oa tho other hand, admit only
dark-lulivd men, »Jy* the l'lttsburg
Dispatch. The guard officers, being
privileged by birth as wcl) us rank In
their chosen- professions, treat tliclr
colleagues In tho lino almost nn badly
os the latter treat their subalterns. Up
to a few yearn ago the distinction be
tween them was suoh that a- guard
lieutenant had precedence over tho cap
tain of the line. The late caar’a father
changed the state of things somewhat,
but not much. A major of tho guards
would, even today, rank higher than a
line colcinel, If tltore were spell a per.
son. But the advancement of the reg
ular army officer seldom eurpaasc*. tho
rank of battalion chief. Men having
attained that distinction are generally
made "commander.--” of a small pre
cinct, while disgraced efficcrs or gen
eral staff officers obtain tho oolaoelshlp
or Heuletwnt-colon< lr.hlp of tho regi
ment to which they devote their live*.
Only very rarely does a line officer
succeed la obtaining a commission In
tho war academy, and eventually In the
general staff. It should tie mentioned,
however, that tho majority are unfit
ted for each advancement.. Tito re-
quUx-monts of the officer'* examination
in the Une or considerably less strin
gent than those upon which the admis
sion to tho guard's officers’ corps are
based; the. aspirant's social standing
1* not at all considered, and to complete
the wretchedness of the line officer, his
pay L ridiculously small and Inade
quate, especially that of the Infantry
officers, the lieutenant receiving uot
mope than $200 per year, all told. Tho
captain ha* a little over $300, the ma
jor. $460. Tho mowt nbjcct poverty pre
vails among them, and only n few of
I ho yc-unger officers own more than ono
unlf-irni. The infantry private of tho
line receives In money 15* per yenr. In
cluding the czar's nnd others' presents.
