Terrible JEnd of a Trivial Affair.
In. the basement under Leroy Clark's
saloon at 462 State stieet Bill Lewis runs
a "crap game." Monday morning Scott
Walker was playing on the same cloth
with Lnther Reynolds and Calhoun
Moore. The game had progressed so
far that Walker had become verylJrujakV
He could hardly look after bis money,
and it lay^ in a pijgjtafare him^.^oojie
attempted to hand' BobMbrtJJpffiw^
white lad playing "on the outlpe of the
cloth," a dime, whan it slippM through
his lingers and fell into Walkei's pile
of change.
Moore reached over to take it up and
hand it to Montgomery, when Srott
Walker said: "D you, you know
I'se full and wants ter rob me. I'll 'low
no to bulldoze me. I'll bang
fust," and he drew a revohei.
The crowd parted instantly, but AValk
er fiied and the bullet crashed directly
into Luther Reynold's heart. Reynolds
did not utter a word, but fell beaviiy to
the floor. Walker then directed the
still smoking gun tow aids Calhoun
Moore.
"I'll kill you, too. You started this
robbing scheme," he said.
"2s'o, Walker, one man is enough for
you," said Moore, and he coolly walked
up to Walker and took the gun from
him. Walker then weut up-stairs,
through Leroy Clark's saloon, out into
State street, and gave himself up. When
searched at the*station he had in his
possession 8305 in monev and a check

Atlanta, Ga.,Feb. 17.North Caiolina
is on the verge of a terrible race war
growing out of the exodus of Colored
people. All railroad emigrant agents
have been drnui out of the staXe. The'-.failing
local military companies have been call
ed out in Wayne County to aid the
farmers in preventing deseition of their
laborers. The whites have asked the
legislature for a law covering the case,
and the blacks have retaliated by calling
public meetings, at which resolutions are
adopted declaring that their treatment
by the whites makes life in the sfatc un
bearable. The resolutions adopted at a
monster meeting in Goldsboro contain
ed this clause:
God is at the head of this move, and
not the Richmond & Danville Railroad
Company. The voice of John Brown is
soun ting in the ears of the sons of Ham,
and the great Southwest says: "Come
we have lands," and the oppressed con
science of the Kegro says: "Go," and
we are going.
A gentleman who has just reached
Atlanta says that an outbreak may be
expected at any moineut. Both whites
and blacks are heavily armed. Gover
nor Scales nas iussed secret orders to the
tate militia to gb* ready to quell possible
outbreaks. The North Carolina news
papers conceal the critical nature of the
situation.

Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 17.-In Glascock
County great excitement exists over the
elopement of the thirteen-year-old
daughter of Mr. Stephen Carroll. On
the plantation there lived an octoroon
boy, who would, pass for white, named
Henry Shelton. aged fifteen. On Fri
day he gained the girl's consent to fly
with him. Pursuit was given, but the
couple gained Gibson, secured a maxr
riage license without detection of^Shel
ton's color, were married and left before
the father reached th& town. Mr. Car
roll sued out a w?it, of habeas corpus,
alleging the husband's mixed blood, and
Judge Calhqrifi gave the girl back to her
father. The whites are indignant
enough to lynch Shelton, but as the com
munity is overwhelmingly black, the
danger is obvious.
Mad as a March Hare.
The exact origin of this phrase is
shrouded in obscurity, but different ex
planations of its significance and deriva
tion have been many. It applies, how
ever, to the man who denies that Min
nesota has a fine, health-giving climate
and ample resources. The Saint Paul &
Duluth Railroad runs through a country
beautified by a fine climate and offering
advantages to those looking for homes,
together with rapid transit to and from
St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth, and West
Superior, over the "Duluth Short Line."
It must be seen to be appreciated.

The coal dealers have stiuggled hard
to keep up the price of coal, but coke
has most generally supplied the place of
hard coal, where people had hard coal
stoves, but those purchasing new stoves
invariably got the new improved soft

to-day that on lapjtr Wednesday night
masked men entered the house of Jacob
Faucett, who .lived at Mount Olive, and

the two Colored women were taken
