MCDONALD-SPARKS-STEWAIT Company UNDERTAKERS, EMBALHERS, FUNERAL DIRECTORS fl RACE WAR : I Grows out of Politics Near, Cusseta, Ala. ; I |l|fl WERE WOUNDED. Saturday Night Broil Ends Disastrously. Opelika, Ala., Aug., I.—On Saturday night at 12 o’clock n desperate flight brought on by politics, nearly precipstated a race war near Cusseta, between here end West Point. The Sun day quiet has been broken bv the tramp of armed men and this whole section has been at fever heat, while many a heart was throbbing with suppressed excitement. The news is so conflicting that it is impossible to get at definite details, though the purport of all reports is the same. Politics in Chambers county, where the difficulty occurred, are at fever heat and the main fight lies be tween the democrrtic and popu list candidates for probate judge. Yesterday morning the Dem crats held a meeting near Cus seta and their orators divided them with the populists. Last night the populists held a meet ing and reports say refused to divide time with democrats; thereupon the democrats with drew and started up a separate speaking and in the midst of these movements some one shot at a Mr. Mitchell and wounded horse. » He left at once for Cusseta and out warrants of ths par u and returned, When he again reached the acene his posse was fired into and they returned the fire and a desperate fight ensued. In the quiet stillness of the early Sabbath morning the rattle of shotguns and winchesters seemed strangely odd and after the onslaught was over it was found that the following whites were seriously wounded : W. J. Busbee. W. W. Meadows. Also the following negroes. John Hull, Will Floyd, Tom Combs and Charles Morgan. It is believed that others are wounded. The report reached here this morning tnat the negroes w r ere arming and gathering for the purpose of wiping out the white race, The air is full of aumors and there was great uneasiness on every hand, as the white people at Cusseta are very few. Forty men, armed to the teeth left here yesterday afternoon at 8 o’clock for the scene. They carried hundreds of rounds of ammunition for their winches ters and shots and went prepared to maintain the supremacy of the white race. When they got there they found white men pouring in from all the surrounding coun try. They came on foot, on horseback, in wagons, buggies and carts. La Fayette furnished about seventy five white men,; and West Point sent as many more. All trains were stopped at the scene sf the trouble by the At lanta and West Point railway to facilitate the restoring of peace by placing men there and furth er trouble was quelled. A number of the instigators have been arrested, but the ring leaders escaped. Some of the negroes who were iu the crowd are here and will be arrested.! People are returning to thei ' homes. It 13 not known whether or not any of the wounded will die. The negroes in this section are growing very insolent. One advocated in a public political speech the keeping of winches ters and other arras in every negro house and of resisting with bloodshed any attempt of the police to interfere with their rights.
