Saturday night, In 8andereville, u Ben
Gilmore wu returning from Sr. A. Mathis,
where he bed escorted several young ladles
from tho Gilmore house, he heard e great com
motion in tha yard of Mrs. SneenA. Brnltb,
end wu accreted by that lady who said that a
burly negro man had assaulted a negro wo
man at the gate and demanded what money
•be had. Thore ware several negro women In
tho parly that was assailed and they became
greatly alarmed end excited, running Into tbe
yard, thence Into their honaea in n pall-moll
manner, scrambling, yelling end making the
night hfdeoue with their shrieks of terror.
Mr. Gilmore went over Into tbe yard, end,
with a lamp, mado a thorough, though feait-
lcsa aeaicb, fqr the mine re ent. Felling to dis
cover any trace of him, he then
proceeded np town, and upon
reaching tbo Christian ehnrch corner,
much to hla surprise, a strong band grasped hla
threat In a tight embrace, and wu forced back
against the church fence by a muscular negro,
wnan a struggle ensued, with the odds greatly
to the negro’s advantage, and the negro forced
hla victim, u he thought, to the ground. Mr.
Gilmore had no weapon on hit parson except
samell knife that he thought would not do
much service. Reing in n tight
place, with notaing else with
which be could defend himself, end taUeviag
that something must be done tod that quick
ly, ho polled cut hla dilapidated knife end be
gin at once a connter attack npon hla auatl*
ent In such a vigorous manner that the negro,
up able to stand tho refinance made by Mr. Gil
more, lecatncd hla bold and took to his hceli.
Mr. Gilmore came np town end reported the
clmnnstance, but raid he wu unable to
Ideality bla aiuilant, bnt knows that
be vat a strong, burly negro that could han
dle him with perfect ease.
Oscar A. Houghton its* ahot by Hatper T
ailmore in Banderavlllt, laat Than lay night.
The report of the pistol upon the square crest-
td muon excitement. Both partial aro young,
and tbelr families stand blghln tba communi
ty. The tragic aflkir came about th'a way:
Gilmore started home, when he met Ed Price,
negic, ud Oscar Houghton walking up tha
street. Aa they pamd each other Price puahed
against Gilmore, who aald to Price:
“Ed, wbat do yoa mean by running np
against me.”
Price replied: "Mr, Gilmore, if I nu against
you I did not Intend to.”
“Wall, it’s all right,” Gilmore replied.
Doling this convereatlon Houghton had
walked ou aove ten steps aud halted for a
abrrt time. He then went back laying to
Gilmore.
"By God, I will take I'd Frice'a place,If yon
have got anything to uy to him, say It to
me.”
Mr. Gllmcre, In reply to this, remarked:
"I don't want uythteg to do with yon, but
If you want to take a negro's place, you can
do ic,"
From thla the controvert/ grew hotter aud
hotter, and Konghton advanced upon Gilmore.
Gilmore wu baud to exclaim:
"Ofcar Houghton, don't yoa draw your knife
"Don't yon ent mo with that koife, if yon
do I’ll kill you.”
Mr. Newman, who wu endeavoring to 1-pa
nto the parties iiroro that Houghton had n
knife open, advancing on Uilmore.
Price swore thu Konghton had no knife.
After Gilmore warned Boogbton, taro pistol
•hots, In npld au occasion, rang oat Iona and
clear upon tho night air.
The occurrence Is generally regretted. Pub-
lie sentiment ft in Gtlmere’a favor. Tke ooro-

JC has been questioned whether these

lltdh by the Indians,or whether (hey may uot
ne tbe work of * race of still greater antiquity.
Ihe claim of the Indian* to tho construction
of 1 hue great piles seems to bo well established,
hnd is cow generally admitted. Sjme gentle-
treu have discovered by exteasivo delving
into these mounds tbatfthey contain many in<
ftiumentt of stonoand metal which were tm<
doubtsdly fashioned by the red men.
The heavy rains of la*t sprln* washed op
j real number of such curious relics. Most of
them were discovered at a considerable dis
tance from tbe mounds, but they prove how
thickly strewn that whole country is with In
dian relic*. , ,. .
On tbe famous Tomlin plantation, which
stretches for several miles along the Etowah
river, tome beautiful specimen* of Indian
Handiwork were found after the freshet* of
last spring. Ur. T. H. Tumlin, who was in
Atlanta a few d*y* ago, bronght with him a
collection of these cmioaitle*. They are now
on exhibition in tbe windows of D. N. Freeman
A Co. Tl ere are several atouo raws and jugs
of superior workmanship, a variety of atoue
pipes, acme of which are quite ornate, and
other articles carved out of stone, the desUn
of which is not so intelligible. A rude knife
of copper, and a broken blade of the aame
metal, show that the Indians had ad
vanced somewhat in the me of the
naiural resources about them. Some necklaces
of beads and shells are also in tbe collection.
1 be articles cat out of stone are remarkable
for tbeir exact proportions and smooth finish.
Mr. Tnmlin rays he is sure that with a little
exertion a large and valuable cabioet of Indian
relics of many kinds could be collected in
