EDITORIAL COMMENT. ■ I w,I HUT’—in-" in n i—!■!■— i Tho Uurnesv'illa Tribune is iin p Giving; Li print and otherwise be coming more attractive. By some means the Constitution tins been very irregular Ilia pas few weeks. This is a great disad vantage t the Constitution. Gov. Hill of New York, arrived in . ilanta the 15ih iust., to attend :i exposition. ll© was given a large and enthusiastic reception. Ex-Gov. Derry of Florida, died the 15th. inst., in Ferryville, Tex., of paralysis. Gov. Ferry had been sick but a week. lion. Newton W. Nutting, cen gressman from the 20tli district of New York, died loth inst., at his home in Oswego. Col. Nutting was forty-nine years’ old. The recent net at Dolhen, Ala,, between the town authorities and the alliancemen, is to be regretted and ought to be warning to the lat ter to shun men who are hasty in urgißg them to violate lown laws. Col. Gantt ot the Banner, spent last week in Florida. Ilis descrip tion of Jacksonville and St. Angus tine, were very illustrative, espe cially of the old Spanish fort at the latter place. The Oconee Enterprise came to this office last week, seemly all home prinWe are glad to see thii move the part ot the Enter prise. I'his is what every paper in the state should do. The farmers al'iance of five counties, have adopted the plan of using ‘■‘liine lies' 5 to the bale. This will prevent the tare in cotton-bag. gmg. The jute only use five and six ties. Whether the buyer will al low weight for the surplus ties oil cotton-bagging, the Journal can not say. This is the only thing lacking in making cotton bagging a success, and it the alliance of Banks want to make a success, they must adopt the pian of more ties. Business in Athens was lively last Thursday. A good deal of cot-1 ton was rolling in. Superior court! wssiii session and the city was fairly booming. We met Cols. E L Brown, Dick liussell, Albert Henley, and others of the local bar. These gentlemen are all doing a fair practice. The grand jury was taken in the city late in the after noon. The cadets trould frequent ly jeer this body of yeomanry and others would ask ‘-what mob is that? Is it the hind-end of Te cumbse’s ranks?” These solons should remember there is some style in Athens, when they gather in her clrssic bounds t > investigate Ihe “Joins’ ” of Clarke. Her octo genarian mods of style has passed into “the things.that were.” Even ‘ yer” honor, the “Jedge,” learns to “toat” himself with more eccentric ity of style, than when in Homer. All in, the Athens’ style is “over done” to a degree by the cadet and school-girl. We often wonder how these butte flies ef fashion ever learn anything, or if the professor possesses a means of pumping a lit tle brains in their head while in the school-room. If not, what an awful siege lie has to contend with! But, then, who could form malice for fashion’s supporters? Where would the riboons, boquets, brass buttons, gray doilies, etc., find r place? A BLOOD v ICIOT In Which Two Alliance Men an Killed and Two Officers are Wounded. Dothen, Ala., Oct. loth., 2. a. m. —No one, until we reached Doth en, knew any particulars of ihe tragedy, whiJ-i has put the town in mourning. We were met by his honor, Mayor a. C. Crawford, who makes the following state ment of the terrible tragedy enact ed in his town at four o’clock t’es teiday evening: “George M. Stringer, proprietor of the alliance warehouse, and Jell Walker, an alliance man, were killed. J. L. Dorn ingos*, town mar shal, was mortally wounded; Dar ker Dowell, deputy marshal, was mortally wounded; Deler Few, an alliance man, Green Stringer and B. Stringer, weie seriously wound ed. W, B. Craddock, a town man, was slightly wounded in the leg. “This riot grew out of the town council passing an ordinance im posing faxes on drays in (he town. On the 12th inst., G. M. Stringer, now deceased, proprietor of the al liance warehouse, which is just outside of the corporation, who had a drayman hauling cotton to said warehouse from within the incor poration, upon being notified that it was against the ordinance, refus ed to haul further, and threw up his job. Thereupon, G. M. Stringer said that -he would drive the dray himself, independent of the town authorities, lie then undertook to drive the dray, and Marshal Domin ges told him to consider himselt under arrest, and he would lielp him unload the cotton, which he did. After this stringer resisted ar rest and jumped on the marshal with his kni'e. A tussel ensued, the marshal receiving a slight wound across the right cheek and inflict ing a slight wound on Stringer’s head with a club. The marshal and deputy marshal subsequently ar rested Stringer, carried him before his honor, and he was convicted and appealed to the circuit court of lien ry county. He then took out a war rant for Domingos and the deputy for assault with intent to murder, which was set for hearing to-day. Upon tha calling of the case to day, it was continued until to-mor row. Immediately afterward this difficulty occurred. On the 12th the alliance threatened to enter the lown and run the drays, regard less of the tax, end were at the tri al to-day in great numbers, three hundred strong, and armed with pistols and clubs. They did no overt act as a body, but their pres ence stimulated those who broke the law and brought down ven geance on their heads. “The alliance felt that they ought to have the right of free dray ago to their warehouse. “ihe mayor said.* The first ©f f 1 : difficulty was I>. Stringer, standing with a large knife in his hand, and the marshal went forward, but. be fore rea thing Stringer he made at Domingos with his knife, whereup n Domingns commenced to use lis club, and succeeded in bringing Iringer to the ground. At tha’ hum G. M. Stringer stepped uj villi i pistol wrappoliu u handke chief. I stepped between him and Domingos >nd t him to stop, lie poached m with die barrel of his pis te 1, and warned ino to stand out of his way or ho would fhoot me, which I did, and immediately the first shots w re fired. Walker falling dead to the ground, who was accidentally kill ed. At that peiiod they began elnb biug each other oxer their heads with their pistols, when (be parties wt r-- separated and began firing at eachoth e again, and fired until Stringer fell, the fat; 1 shot, striking him just over the left eye. This was Q M. Stiing er. At that time Newberry, another alliance man, stepped up and began firing at, Domingos, inflicting a mor •al wound. Newberry also snot at Patker Powell, who turned and fired back at him, missing his mark. The fiye in the fight were D trningos, Pow er, the two. S ringots and William Newberry. The others wounded were fio a the shots of tin’s quin ette ” Dothen is a small town about one year old, wi h 8)0 people, having sprung in anticipation ot the ANbara Midland railroad, which now runs in half mile of its public streets.
