A Night Disturbance
On Monday night of last week, just
at bed time, a number of pistol shot*
were heard in the neighborhood of
* factory on North Wayne
street. Some twenty or thirty shots
m qniek succession reminded one of
a brisk skirmish going on. The next
morning it became known that a par
ty of white men went to the house of
a respectable negro man named
Lumpkin, and asked for a negro
named Alex Day, who lives in Macon
and who lmd been in this place sever
al days. Day did not wait to learn
what the men wanted with him but
jumped out of the back window and
rail in the direction of the Augusta
Depot at a rate of speed which might
nave excited the envy of a profession
al runner. The crowd took after him,
tiring their pistols as they ran, but
evidently shooting so as to avoid the
risk of hitting him. As this is an im
portant fact we may state that per
sons at a distance who were in a posi
tion 5.° see stated that they knew
that the pistols were fired into the air
by the upward direction of the sparks
and light from the pistols as they
were tired. Another circumstance
that proved it was that two of the
men were near the back window
wlien Day jumped out andcould have
shot him then if they had wished to
do so. Day put in his best licks (or
steps) and melted away in the dark
ness of night like a vanishing picture,
leaving his pursuers, (who evidently
dul not care to capture him) far in
the rear. The fact is that they ac
complished their purpose in giving
him a first-class scare, which may
possibly cause him to so amend hifi
manners as to save him from real per
sonal harm in the future.
The circumstances which led up to
this rumpus in the dark are as fol
lows. On the preceding Sunday Mr.
Madison Sutherland was walking
with two of his sisters towards the
cemetery when he met this negro
Day on the sidewalk and the latter
not only refused to give way to the
ladies but ran against one of them.
On being reproved by Sutherland
he used very impudent language and
but for Sutherland’s forbearance
(his siste.-s begging him not to pro
ceed to any act of violence,) there
might and orobably would have been
a serious breach of the peace then
and there. On Monday, Sutherland
saw the negro on the streets and ask
ed him why l.e had conducted himself
so badly the day before. The negro,
instead of ap< logizing was very im
pudent and in-lilting when Souther-
laud picked up a stick and gave him
several licks with it.
These occurrences caused consider
able excitement among our people,
both white and black, and there was
scarcely a doubt that if such a fire
brand as this negro, Day, was allowed
to stay here and stir up strife, tdei\-
would soon be such a state of feeling
between the whites and blacks as
might at any moment lead to a very
serious outbreak, and possibly the
shedding of blood. Under these cir
cumstances there is but little doubt
that some of our young men adopted
the plan, which ’was so successfully
carried out, of giving Day a good
scare and causing him to return to
his own home and leave us in peace.
And if he should venture to return to
this place and act again in the man
ner which brought him into ihe trou
ble narrated above, he will hardly es
cape with simply a big scare. The
state of feeling between the whites
and blacks in this coinmanity has
been peaceful and commendable to
both races and it is not to be suppos
ed for a moment that any outsider
will be allowed to come here and dis
turb this desirable state of things,
without getting into very serious
trouble. “A word to the wise is suf
ficient.”.
We regret to learn that Air. afcid
Mrs. Thos. L. Traynham of this coun
ty, had the misfortune to lose a be
loved child on the 3rd of this month.
Little May Belle was only about 18
months old and had been an afflicted
child during the whole of her brief
existence, but her very affliction in
creased the love of her parents for
her. It should be a consoling thought
with them however that their loved
one lias exchanged an existence of
pain and trouble for one of inexpressi
ble joy and happiness.
Airs. Mary Shinliolser, of Wilkin
son county, died on Tuesday, the 10th
inst., at the residence of A. J. Miller
of that county. Mrs. Shinliolser was
about 78 years of age and was the
mother of’Mrs. Dr. W. R. Robison,
of this city. She was buried at the
family burial ground at Mr. Jas. M.
Hall’s plantation of this county.
The colored editor, Branham by
name, of the Middle Georgia Banner,
published at Eatonton, called at our
office on Friday morning last. His
paper is on our exchange list and ap
pears to be well conducted.
The colored people held their cus
tomary annual pic nic on Encamp
ment Hill on Friday last. So far as
we have heard it went off quietly and
afforded the enjoyment which might
reasonably be expected.
Beware of Ointment* for Catarrh
that Contain Mercury,
As Mercury will surely destroy the
sense of smell and completely derange
the whole system when entering it
through the mucus surfaces. Such
articles should never be used except
on prescriptions from reputable pby-
sioians, as the damage they will do
are ten fold to the good you can pos
sibly derive from them. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains
no mercury ■ and is taken internally
and acts directly upon the blood and
mucus surfaces or the system. In
buying Hall’s Catarrh Cure be sure
that you get the genuine, it is taken

been fully convinced that the present CREDIT SYSTEM of tho country is not what tho pooplo want, and that they cannot AFFORD to
stand the CREDIT PRICES, and the only solution of tho question is to buy for CASH, and you can buy CHEAP, and when you sell
your crop next fall, instead of paying it all out for debts already contracted, you will have the money in your POCKET, to pay CASH
for what you need.
We will quote you some of our Cash Bargains, and you will see at a
