[44 tf 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.
