Dallas, Texas, Oot. 2.—The details are
beginning to oome In of a race war In
Harrison county, starting at Hallville
and spreading in different directions.
Fire negroes hare been killed, and one
white man.
It seems that negroes leased planta
tions from white men and refused to
harvest the crops, so that the white men
could get their share.
A posse of white men went to the
home of Thomas Walker, on the plan
tation of Julien Atwood. The negro
fired at the men, killing Atwood. Early
in the ohase that followed a negro was
found and lynohed, bnt he was not
Walker. Two were hanged Sunday and
Geo. Muoklery was taken from home
and whipped to death.
So far, fire negroes hare been kUleG
and one white man. Walker bos also
been hung. There is no telegraph or
telephone communication with the re
gion where the trouble Is, but these de
tails were learnod from reliable men.
MISS SUSIE MANN WEDDED
Is El Paso, Tex- to Ms]. W. 0. (Ebbs, of
ludlan Territory.
From Wednesday’s Dally Herald.
In El Paso, Texas, yesterday, Miss
Susie Mann was wedded to Msg. W. D.
Gibbs, of Ohickaaaw, Indian Territory.
The announcement was reoelve'd yes
terday evening in a telegram to Mr. W.
D. Mann, father of the bride, and was
somewhat in the nature of a surprise.
Major Gibbs and Miss Mann were to
have been married next month. She
has been spending the summer at Fort
Hanoook, N. J., with friends.
Major Gibbs, it seems, found that
it would be lmpsraotloahle. for him
to leave home at the time set
for the wedding. He is solicitor
general of the Ohiokasaw oirouit, and
his offloiat duties are suoh that he can
not lay them aside at will.
He therefore wrote and requested his
fiancee to meet him in El Paso. She
consented, and proceeded, with
a oousln, to El Paso, ar
riving there yesterday. She was met
by Major Gibbs, and they were martied
at once. They will prooeed at once to
Ohiokasaw, I. T., which plaoe will be
their future home.
Major Gibbs met Miss Mann here in
the winter of 1898, when he was com
mander of one of the battalions of the
Third Mississippi regiment, whioh was
encamped just north |of the oity. He
has kept up a correspondence with Miss
Mann ever slnoe he left Albany, and
their marriage yesterday culminates the
•romanoe.

nvueges to
dertake to
rogb with-
tain questions whioh he said he desired
the business men of the town to peal
npon. One wee as to whether the fair
ehonld be held in the street* in the boil-
nee* portion of the oity as wo* done last
year, and another was with referenoe
to the polioy to he adopted In selling
privileges. He also wanted the business
men to say whether we ehonld have as
muoh In the way ot amusements as we
had lost year.
By a praotloally unanimous vote it
was deolded that the oarnlval and fair
should be hold In the business streets
Ihe same as last year, and that the
amneementi ehonld not be out down.
Then Mr. Morris Weeloeky, represent
ing the Elks, proposed that if the Fair
Association would release to that order
the oarnlval or amusement feature and
at the same time give over to It the con
trol and proceeds of ’all the privileges to
be sold, the Elks would undi
carry the OWBiYBl fOfttW* through
ont calling on the basinet* men for skb-
Boriptions.
The proposition wo* aooepted and Lhe
oarnlval f eatnre and oontrol of the priv
ilege* were therefore turned over to the
Elk*.
The Southwest Georgia Hay Day Car
nival and Street Fair Association re
tains nominal control of the entire en
terprise and will earry ont the street
fair feature jnst as originally planned.
The association has sufficient money in
the treasury to meet the premium list,
and the payment of all premiums is
therefore assured.
Explained in a few words, the action
taken yesterday afternoon means that
the Hay Day Oarnlval and Street Fair
Association will give all its attention
to the fair proper, working up os large a
display of agricultural and horticultural
products as possible, and leave the oar-
nival features—the attractions and
amusements for the orowd—to the Elks.
The management of the Fair Associa
tion and the Elks will, of course, work
in harmony and co-operate with the
view of making every feature and de
partment of the oarnival and fair a euo-
cess.l
The Elks propose to croot a building
in the city, and it is for the purpose of
beginning this work that they are tak
ing hold of the oarnival.
