RACE RIOT IN THE "Negroes Shoot a "White J Torch-jMtliti Springfield, Ohio, February '28. M. M. Davis, a railroad brakeman, became involved in a difficulty yes terday with Preston Ladd and Ed ward Dean, negroes, and received pistol shots which will probabl) result fatally. He is in a hospital in a serious condition. Last night a large number of the whites, led by Davis's friends, marched to "The Jungles," a section of the city populated by negroes, abd in which Dean and Ladd lived, wiih the avowed purpose of burning all the houses and killing all the negroes in sight. In the meantime the two negroes had been arrested, and the officers, fearing violence, bad spirited them away to the Day ton jail. Riot, arson and mob violence held full away until midnight. At least six negro dwellings were burned and several Degroes were badly in jured, but it is not known that any more were killed outright. The negroes, though, only escaped with their lives by llueing. The police were powerless before the infuriated whites, although all the reservos were called out and the mob wns only stopped when two companies of Springfield, reinforced by companies from Xenia and Urba n?a, marched to the scene about mid night? Quiet reigns this morning, al though tho troops are patrolling the streets and the air is filled with smoke from the smouldering build ings. The mob wrought havoc and but for the timely arrival of the troops the destruction would have been worse. The police, it is understood, are preparing to make a number of ar rests in connection with tho rioting. There are also reports that tho mob will reassemble in order to prevent this and there is still a great dual of apprehension. Nine companies, besides those ac tually on tho scene, are under arms prepared for any emergency. Brakeman Davis is still alive in the city hospital, but there arc no hopes of his recovery. Two companies of the third regi ment are on duty at tho scene of the tire. A company of the ninth bat tallion, negro troops, is being held in readiness tu the armory. This action of the authorities in calling out the negro troops] is being sharply criti cised by all classes. STILT. LATER NKWK. Springfield, Ohio, March 1.-This morning the situation is well in hand, tho militia being in absolute control of tho rioters and everything is jniot. The actual damage done by the mob last night was not aa great as the night before, but were as equally as disgraceful. Three houses were bumed and a number of others were stoned. Not ono but half a dozen mobs of varying strength and viciousness roamed the streets, doing damage in the most unexpected places. With eight companies of .State troops on guard in this city, as a re sult of Tuesday night's mob violence, in which six houses wore burned in the colored residence district, more incendiary fires were started again last night iii various parts of tho oily. In every instance the houses were occupied by negroes or negroes and whites. A negro house at Har rison and York streets was Stoned by .i large crowd, but the occupants escaped. The Flickers Nest, which is inhabi ted by negroes, and winch figured in the Dixon mob and subsequent race wars two years ago, bas been assailed and several attempts made to fire it, but as it is unaided by militiamen the effort so far bas failed. Several alarms have been turned in ns a re sult of the fires started, but as this dispatch is tiled no general alarm baa been turned in, as every available fireman is at work on the fires now nader way. Several negroes, who had been chased by the angered whites from the negro quarters of the city, made their way to the city building which is in charge of the soldiery. Col. C. S. Am mel, of the Fourth regiment, arrived hero last evening and assumed command of the troops, relieving Capt. Horace Keifer, who nad been in command. ?

Davis is tho son of a Colum bus attorney. Tweuty-eight men were arrested for participating in the riots this morning. Fourteen were charged with participant; in the riots, nine with disorderly conduct and five with carrying concealed weapons. A con tinuance was ai ked for in each case. Some of the accused arc members of the best families in Springfield. Mayor Todd said this morning that he did not believe there would be any more trouble, but the troops are to be kept on duty throughout this afternoon and to-night.

In a letter addressed to spot holders of cotton, President Harvio Jordan, of tho Southern Cotton Association, urges thom not to rush their cotton to market, but to hold it and win out in thc great struggle now on between the spot holdors aud speculators. Tho letter is as follows: "About tho middle of last November tho Southern Cotton Association advised all spot holders to demand fifteen cents por pound (basis middling) for tho bal ance of the unsold portion of tho present crop and pledges were asked for ninety days. The mammoth cotton convention, hold at New Orleans, La., January 11-13, 1006, passed a resolution unanimously endorsing tho holding movement for fif teen cont?, and advocated the continued holding of the unsold portion of the orop for that price independent of the 00-day pledging. The executive committee of the association subsequently endorsed tho action of the convention and all spot holders were earnestly asked to stand firm until a maximum price of fifteen cents was offered. Remember one year ago cotton sold at seven cents por pound in February and advanced io over ten cents early in July in tho face of a 14,000, 000 bale crop. This year tho crop is 3,500,000 halos less. Consumption is far greater this year than last, and the prices of all lines of cotton goods abnormally high. If tho small balance of the cotton now hold is sold for fifteen cents, tho whole crop will not average over Iii couts per pound. Receipts will soon drop off heavily and a stronger market will bo had. Do not rush your cotton on the market, hut hold it and win out in tho groat struggle that is on between tho spot holders on tho ono side and specula tors, spinners and buyers on tho other."

We called attention a few days since to tho effort? Representatives Lo vor and I Kllorbe were making to further the ngri- ' cultural interests ol South Carolina hy having established in this State model farms whore diversification in crops would bo practiced aud taught. We said then, and repoat now, that our Congross men could not bo better employed thau I in such endeavors, lt is gratifying, j thereforo, to commond a bill which was j introduced iu tho Houso on .lauuary 20 by Representative Lever, and referred to tlie committee on agriculture. Tho bill is entitled "a bill tn further promote the dairy industry of the United States," and its text is as follows: "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assem bled: That the sum of twenty thousand dollars, or so much as may be necessary, be, aud the same is hereby, appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated, to euable the Secretary of Agriculture to further pro mote the dairy industry of the United States, and that the Secretary of Agricul ture be authorized to expend this sum, through tho dairy division of the depart ment of agriculture, in co-operation with individual dairymen and State experi ment stations in such States, as in his discretion aro most in nno?J of such help." In advocacy of this measure Represen tativo Lever has said : "Tho plan is to have tho department of agriculture sta tion ono of its dairy ox poi ts in each of the South om States. The duty of this export will bo to furnish individual dairymen witli expert information as to the best methods of dairying. Ile will teach tho farmer how to select his herd with a view to getting tho bost results; ho will show him how to build silos and barns, aud he will teach him tho best methods of crop rotation in order to get tho most forage for his cattle." It is understood that the expert will also hold farmers' institutes from time to time to encourage the dairy industry, and to spread as widely as possible the information at his disposal. Mr. Lever says his measure has been endorsed by "nearly every leading dairyman in the South," and ho feels convinced that if his measure passes the House and tho Senate, this section of the country will derive much benefit from it. This is an opinion in which we heartily concur. It is highly desirable that some systematic effort should be made to de velop the dairy industry in this and other Southern States. Dairy products may become a source of wealth in South Carolina. There is no sufficient reason Bwhy every cotton plantation should not have an intelligently conducted dairy attachment. Even should the planter not desire to do more than produce enough butter and milk for home con sumption, the dairy would contribute to rendering him independent of cotton. That is the end to which our agricultural efforts should be directed most earnestly just now. As we have said on many oc casions, when the Southern planter is absolutely independent of his cotton crop, cotton will be king in fact as well as in name.-News and Courier. Dangers ol Pneumonia.

[Laurousville Herald.] If there was ever any doubt that the ; groat hue and cry against the dispensary system, oharges of what is called "graft," "rottenness," etc., was inspired more by hatred to Tillman than an hon est purpose to roform the management of what its enemies sarcastically term the "great moral institution," doubt can no longer exist. In othor words, the whole fight is and has beon against Till man rather than against the dispensary; and if his political onemies would can didly confesa the fact, tho; could not deny that their solo purpose is Till man's defeat for tho reelection to the United States Senate.
