Since I lie killing of Mr. King, on the Jones’ place, last Sunday night one week I ago, there lias been the wildest feeling j I among the people of that scetiou, and many are anxious to get hold of the guilty party and send him to the laud ! beyond over the Hemp rente. Sheriff Davis is well aware of these facts and he is on the alert to save these prisoners from tlie clutches of an angry mob. IIo lias been expecting an attempt of tin-, kind ever since King was killed, and he lias kept his eyes open to avoid this accomplishment, upon the .part, of the mob,-should they come. On Monday morning he “got wind” of a move that a mob was organizing a few nvites from town for the purpose of swinging up the three negroes who are held for the assassination. Sheriff Davis knew that an attempt would be made Monday or Tuesday-night, and to be iu time ho secured a conveyance and chained the negroes together and carried then over to Dawson for safekeeping. Sheriff Davis was on time, however, as the mob eatae Monday night for their men only to find that they had left town. After finding that their men was not here they left, going out the western end of town, mad and 'disappointed. It is understood that there were between 100 and 150 men in the crowd. Sheriff Davis saved these same men by only a few hours when lie removed them from Arlington here, He was compelled to slip them out of town and had to walk through the woods for nearly four miles to get his prisoners away from the angry lilob. As the mob has failed the second time at lynching these negroes, probably they will give up their intentions and let the law take its comae. One thing sure, they will be daisies if they get ahead of | onr sheriff. The boys say that in eases like this lie sleeps with one eye opeu. That King Killing. Tho mystery of the assassination of Mr. King about two weeks ago, partion* lars of which the readers of the SIonxtob are fatniliiar, remains nnsolyed, although the officers are working hard to bring out the true facts of tho case. .Jack Ingram, the white man arrested last week was released. He was only suspected because of the empty* cartridge in his revolver, and he proved that ho had discharged the cartridge as he stated at first and he was released. General Gee Lee Fisher, a negro well known by all tho officers of Calhoun county,: and who is an all-round crook, is now quartered in jail with the other two negroes who are still held for the same crime. Fisher seems to be at home in the look up.

It is just as near impossible for a lot of negroes to get together on Saturday night and have a “supper” without hav¬ ing tlio usual fight or shooting scrape as it is for one of the same color to resist the temptation of passing a cane patch on a dark night without ridding the patch of several stalks of the delicious plant. Last (Saturday night at the Clement’s place, four miles south of .Morgan, a supper was given by the negroes and a large crowd was present to partake in the festivities afforded on such occasions. As usual with these suppers some one has to have a fight or shooting scrape of some kind before they can break up. Last Saturday night it was unusually late before this part of the program came in and It began to look to those present that they would have to dispense with this act. At just about 2 o’clock, Sunday morning a pistol shot rang out upon tho still air from a group of negroes congregated near where the supper was hold and upon investigation was found that Gus Hamilton had shot Dock Hawkins through the heart. At tho crack of tho pistol Hawk!nd fell and never spoke a word. Hamilton went to Me homo and retired as if nothing had happened. He bad been there cnly a short while, however, before Messers, J. D. Holloway and B. VV. Goo, came and arrested him. No coroner's Inquest was held as there wore several eye witnesses to the shooting and all say that Hamilton did it, although ho bitterly denies it.

The reported discovery of rich gold in Alaska has started thousands of Klondike people from this country to the regions in search of this precious metal.
