manager of that house said that the
matter was still under consideration.
"It would be a good thing for all
parties if a traffic agreement could ..<•
reached,” be said. “Seaboard Air Line
is in an excellent position to secure
reasonable terms. Its. permanent way
has been improved and if there is a
hitch in the deliberations it is proba
bly due to the fact that the Seaboard
people want better terms.”

Champions Did Not Play in Waycross
Yesterday.
The Cordelo baseball dub, whilst
was announced would play Waycross
yesterday and which Manager .-.Her
was endeavoring to get to come here

and play Waycross yesterday and the
report got out that Cordele would
play. Manager Miller wired the team
yesterday at Waycross, but the tel
egram was returned, tne team not
being there.
The Brunswick hoys are practicing
for the three games with Jacksonville
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday, and

While Being Hoisted Off Thatcher’s
Island Davit Rope Broke ,
With Fatal
Results.
Kockpojl. Mass.. August 22.—As a
heavy boat was being hoisted on the
battleship Koarsarge off Thatcher’s
Point today, the davit rope broke and
the boat fell on a number of seamen
’•clow.
Two of the seamen were killed and
three were injured.
An investigation is being made into
tiie exact cause of the accident, and
it is probable that a court of inquiry
will be Instituted.
THREE NEGROES WERE KILLED.
Three Blacks and Three Whites Also
Wounded.
Tupelo, Miss., Aug. 22. —Three ne
groes an- reported dead, while three
while men and three negroes arc
known to lie wounded near Shannon a
small place 20 miles front here.
Wild rumors of a race not, have been
circulated here, and a great deal of
excitement has prevailed, but as a
matter of fact there is no prospect of
a riot, as the officers of the law have
toe matter well in baud.
The origin of the trouble grew out
of tne stealing ot corn from the field
of a man name,! Eubanks py a negro
named Davenport, who was eatigut in
■hi act aiul made to pour the corn
from the sack. The following night
Kit banks went to tne field to watch for
thieves, and on returning as he neared
the house of Jim Eubanks oe was fired
on by a squat, of about forty negroes,
who were concealed near by the road.
None of the snots took effect.
Deputies Randolph, Rogers and
Barnett were notmed and went in pur
suit of the negroes implicated in the
shooting and lollovvetl them into
Chickasaw county. The three Dav
enport negroes were located in a barn
where they had barricaded themselves
for battle with the officers. They re
fused to open tne door, which was
forced by Randolph. As the door was
broken in the officer struck a match,
an as lie did so a volley from shot
guns in the hands of the negroes was
fired at aim and he received the shot
in his head and shoulders, Wu.cn will
probably prove fatal. The negroes
then leaped over the form of the pros
trate man and made a dash lor their
freedom. ..s they ran tne other offl
,s fire., and brought flown one of the
blacks.
Deputies arrested eight negroes and
brought them to Tupelo jail tonight.
Those Negroes are Jeff Rogers, Hub
bard Rogers, Steven Rogers, Joseph
White, Walter Kelly Will Browu Ma
rion Morris and Ed. Mlddlebrooks.
Sheriff Long has just returned from
Shannon and reports everything quiet,,
.or some months negroes at Shan
non nave been giving considerable
trouu.e secret societies being formed
under the guidance of an ex-school
teacher or preacher or other had char
acters. These organizations are said
to be for the purpose of resisting the
whites and protecting negroes in
deeds of lawlessness.
The alleged instigator of Jhe serious
outbreaks of ne last few nours, is a
negro preacher named Jeff Rogers. He
has been held under suspicion by the
whites for some time a:- a bad charac
ter. In days gone by he has neon made
to leave more than one peaceutl com
munity. He is a negro of some edu
cation, and has considerable influence,
in -a church. J
The first serious trouble broke out
some nine ago when a negro named
biles jackson assaulted the Lauue'r
dales in a corn field, seriously wound
ing them. About a month ago this
negro men in the county jail as a re
sult of wounds inflicted wlme resisting
arrest. A tow days ago a negro was
seen taking corn from a field belong
ing to Mr. Eubanks, who oves close
to Shannon, arid wnen spoken to about
It he became insolent aim defiant and
a warrant for his arrest was sworn
out. ...... i
