A short while since the News contained
a special concerning the atuempted murder
of old man Atkinson near G'arucsviile, by a
crowd of negroes, and the cause then assigned
was that they wished to get possession of
his money. A prominent citizen of Carnes
ville, in talking over the matter, made some
startling revelations concerning it. It seems
that two of the negroes were caught imme¬
diately and three have since been lodged in
jail. These negroes are'said to have ad¬
mitted the attempt to murder the old man
and revealed the fact that there were ten
negroes in the gang; that their object was
to kill nine of the leading citizens of the
county-. Such news created great indigna¬
tion, aud it-is feared tha&dynch law will be
called in to gei «d of the negroes.
Last Sunday Mrs. McQuaig, wife
Joseph McQuaig, of vVaycross, was scour¬
ing up a room at their residence, when, to
get it out of the way, the shotgun was
placed against the wall in the passage. A
tittle 11-year-old boy picked - up the gun
and told his sister Emma, 13 years old, that
he would shoot her, playfully pointing the
weapon at her, Ihe girl jumped behind the
door and attempted to peep around at the
boy who held the gun, the muzzle toward
the ground- At this juncture Emma fell
down on the floor (she is a. cripple and can
hardly stand at best) and it is supposed this
excited thabrother. Thesweapou was dis¬
charged and the sister's head received more
than fifty bird shot. She was not badly
hurt, however, and is sitting up.
Thursday evening Constable <A. J. Delk
of llmesville was -taking a negro named
Brown to jail from Johnston, who was com¬
mitted tor theft. TFneu they came in sight
Hinesville Brown attempted to escape,
jerked away from- the constable, and pick¬
ing up a liglnwood knot, struck him a
heavy blow on the head. Constable Delk
drew his pistol and fired three shots at
Brown, two of them taking effect in his
right arm. Tho.officer brought his prisoner
to jail.
Therein living-in the southern portion
Baldwin county a widow lady who is
mother of seven daughters, hut- has no
sons. She owns some land upon which she
and ho r daughters manage to raise a small
crop. Last year one of ths daughters went
to- the woods with an axe and cut out and
made a plow-stock, fasteued-on a plow, and
with a little steer plowed the entire crop,
making seven hales of cottou and
crable amount-of vegetables.
An old man living up in the mountains

so he bought the rods.
