william Buchannan Stops a load
of Shot at J. A. Rice's Door.
Bentonville Ark,, Sept. IW.
Buchannan, a wealthy farmer,
w hile intoxicated, went to the reei
d9nce of Hon. James A. Rice ai d
stfropted to go in without ringing
the bell.
\( r - Rice aeked him what he
wanted, and receiving no reply
fired his shotgun. The contents
went through the door and entered
Buchannan’s f«ce, making a dan
gerous wound. He claims that bo
thought the man at the door was a
robber.
Basebalh Next Week.
The Rome baseball club have
made arrangements to play Mari
etta three games sometime the
coining week, probably Thursday,
Friday and Saturday. The Ma
rietta’s consider'd one of the
strongest clubs in North Georgia
and the contest will be a livele
one. The Rome boys are in tine
trim, and will play winning ball.
Look out tor the flea plague.
One comes every five years, and
timesup, Mr- and Mrs. Hopper,
with all 'heir family, are due this
September, but many of their re
lations arrive in advance to tickle
up phlegmatic Bostonians.—
Boston Herald.
Mr. and Mrs. Hopper with their
family and a number of relatives,
have been summering with us,
and we are glad to know that they
will soon leave for Boston, where
they will create a stir by introduc
ing phlebotomy to the curriculum
of that city of culture and learn
ing.—Augusta News.
The little plutocrats seem to be
much worried because Hen. ’ J W
McGarity did rot accept the nomi
nation for Congress by the Populists
in this district.—Dallas Heiald.
Will our populistic frienu please
cite us to the eventful occasion, when
the pops tendered the nomination to
McGarity. Was it done in the dark
hours of the .uidnight caucus? #lf it
was then, and MeG irity refused the
nomination, then we can see how the
11 omened bird came to settle on the
king of political Hoppers. Dr. Felton
let the Herald publish the facts.
Our Democratic friends, the open
and avowed enenues of all honest
methods in politics, are terribly si ;■
ken up over the nomination of Dr.
1 elton for Congress by Populists of
this district. They realize, that the
Doetor knows how to get there and
they feel to a’ dead certainty that
he is going to Washington, vice
Judge Maddox.—Dallas Herald,
If Editor Botjenhamer is a truth
ful man and wants to serve his read
ers with reliable information he will
iculcate a little among the pops and
go back to his and write a
later report. Election day will
prove that populists will not take
I elton in theirs and that Felton won
-18 last victory years and years ago.

Roanoke Ya., Sept Ist.—a "seri
ous and perhaps fatal shooting af
fray occured nt Blue Ridge Spring
on Thursday night at 11 o’clock,
in which Taylor j Overstreet, the
watchman nt the hotel was wound
ed by Henry Grigg a colored wai
ter at the hotel.
Grigg was arrested and would
undoubtedly have been lynched
by the enraged people had it not
been for Captain Phil Brown Uyo
proprietor of the hotel.
The trouble arose from the fact
that for some time several of the
waiters have bsen guilty of inde
cent conduct in the presence of
Mrs Te ry, who has charge of the
dairy.
The matter was reported to C-pt
Brown, who Jadvised that nothing
should be done, en i wirned '.he
negroes to Tp-ipi ir<nn such con
dec’, i’be ollensH whs repealed,
however and a crowd wont t<< the
negroe s house tor th'e purpo-e <>f
taking him out au-l. thrash Kg'
him.
Overstreet opened tin | 'oor leading
into the room occupied by Gxiggs
and asked him t > come out, as they
wanted to see him. Griggs turned
over in bed and fired nt Mr. Ove>-
street, the bullet striking him in the
abdomen and lodging in his liver,
Overstreet promptly returned tl.e
fire and the shooting bennme geralen
Griggs was shot in the side. JGriggs
after being wounded, attempted to
escape and made a dash through the
door. He was followed aud caught
in the woods near by.
Captain Brown was sent for and
when he arrived on the scene the
negro was on his knees praying for
mercy and was surrounded by men
with drawn revolvers.
Captain Browu begged the. > en
not to commit any rash act and ler
the prisoner be dealt with according
to law. They were persuaded and
the man was taken to Fincastle for
safe keeping.
Mr. Overstreet's wound is of a s:-r‘-
ous nature and fears are entertained
for his recovery.

persons perished.

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 1. —It
is semiofficially announced here t
that the recent meeting of the j
Jeffersonians and populists at Bir
mingham decided to call aconveji- i
tion—a great gathering of the t
clans in this city on the eve of the
assembling of the legislature. The j
delegates will come provided with j
such proofs of fraud in the elee- .
tions as they can gather, and will
enter an exceedingly vigorous pro
test against the announcement of
the vote as returned. Captain f
Kolb said today that he had never 1
given the matter of making the
race against Denson for congress a ,
thought. He declined to be inter
viewed as to the proposed meet- ,
ing here. I
