THE DANVILLE RIOT.
Panvii.lk, Ya , November 21.?The
count) it toe of forty appointed at a meeting
ofei.izcns on the 10th inst. to iiit|uirc into
nil facts and publish a full and true statement
of the cause and circunistanees leading
to the riots here on the 3d inst. and also
a statement of the conduct of the people frotn
that date to the close of the day of election,
concluded its labor this evening. Thirty*
seven witnesses were examined, the testi?
tnouy taken covering about eighty page.*,
to be hereafter published. The report is
signed by Major W. T. iSutherlin, chairman,
and the balance of the committee of forty.
The report, almost word for word, is as
lolluws :
That on the 12th instant the committee
organized and appointed propjr ..subcommittees,
and by publication iu the Daily
Jit i/istt r requested all persons having iul'or*
inatioti of the matters to be investigated to
appear before th.* sub-committee atthoofficc
of a notary public and testify as to such
matters. Thai said sub committee attended
regularly at said office from the morning
ot the 12tb till the evening ul the 21st,
during which time thirtysseven witnesses
were duly sworn and deposed before the
said committee. The witnesses so deposing
were for the mqst part known to the committee
personally, and represented all classes
and vocations among our citizens, including
two policemen present at the riot, exerting
themselves to quiet the same. All tiiesc
witnesses, whose names are signed to their
? depositions, are kuown to the citizens of Dans
viile, and will he recognized as inteliigent
and thoroughly reliable. Alter a careful
and impartial consideration of the evidencetaken.
your committee submitts the follows
ing statement of facts developed thereby :
First. That by their success in the
election ol a iargo majority of their party
nominees to town offices in the May election
oi 1882 and the subsequent appointment by
the council so elected oi negro policemen,
as well as bv the conduct tl' the officials so
elected, there was engendered in the minds
ol' the negroes of Danville a belief that, as
against wnuc men, tncy would receive the
support and proteciioti of the municipal
government, in cou.-cnuence of which belief
they became rude, insolent and intolerant
to the white citizens; and the bad temper
and ill feeling between the races thus generated
continued to increase and was of late
griatly aggravated by the heated political
canvass preceding the last election, and that
in the midst of the intense excitement of
the last days of the canvass, William E.
Sims, the coalition candidate lor the Senate
from Pittsylvania County and Danville,
made, in front of the court house of the town,
on ths night of the 2d of November, a most
incendiary and violent speech to more than
500 nogroes, in which he denounced many of
the most respectable and prominent white
citizens of the town as "liars, scoundrels and
cow aids," because of their exposure of the
evils of negro rule in Danville.
Second. That on the uiorniug following
the night of Sims's speech the excitement,
ol the blacks and whites alike was violent
and acrimonious, and among the negroes
there was an evident expectation of a eon
fliet. That about midday two negroes in
suited n white man on the public streets
and engaged hiui in a fight, which was ended
by the white man going away. That at
least two hours later in the day, and while
a large portion of the mcu of Danville we.e
assembled at the Opera House in public
meeting, the same white man. when in a
buggy and on his way out of town, was
again loudly and repeatedly called on and
in-wlied by one of the negroes with whom
lie had been previously lighting during the
day. and he thereupon, in spite of his prei
i x resscd viouslvdetoriiiinitioij uol to engage
in a further difficulty because of tin: tin n
public exciti incut, having called two friends
to insure lair play and assuring thorn lie
\v< uldu-e no weapon. < in fisticuffs
t:j !>n too s' roots wilii t li > negro. That during
this li jlit a large number of uegroos gathered
round, but wore kept from interfering by
tlx- two friends of the whi o man until a
policeman arrived, when the combatants
Were separated and each taken away from
the street. That nshort time thereafter the
negroes .assembled in large numbers around
the two friends of the- white mau and some
ten or fifteen other whites who had gathers
e J about theui, and with loud exclamations
and great violence of manner asserted their
determination to have their rights, and their
belief that ft conflict between themselves
and whites was inevitable and had as well

them to disperse, and in disregard of l!epersuasions

retired to i lie re >r of the white, whereupon
tin-lit in-; c-iiiiiuk-iici d mi both side*. ami
after Miinu forty or fifty shots were fired the
iiegroet dispersed. That rbout suveu negroes
were wouuded, four of wlioui died,
and two white tneii seriously but not mortally.
That the white man most seriously
wounded wa? certaiuly shot by a negro,
and tiie other white mau most probably.?
Hist in ire negroes were seen with pistols
in the hands during tiie tiring than there
were white meu prescut at its commencement,
and that tiie meeting ot white citizens
assembled at tho opera house was not ads
jouriicd and lor the most part did not reach
tlie street until alter all the firing was over.
That very soon alter the firing the Sergeant
appeared upon the streets, and with the aid
of prominent white citizcus restored peace
and good order, which were tint afterwards
violated, except by the wounding while on
duty that night of a peeial policeman by :l
shot fired froui behind the house of a negro
uian.
Third. That from within oneshalf an
hour alter the commencement of t he riot the
town was completely under the control ul
the Sergeant and his police force, and that
no further disturbance of the peace and
good order, except the shooting of the
special policeman as stated above, occurred,
and that sueh peace and good order continued
to prevail up to and including the
day of electiou. That on Sunday prominent
citizens prepared and caused to be
printed and circulated, and also on the day
preceding the election, circulars signed b)
themselves and by the superintendents of
both political parties, guar intcciug to each
and every citizen, without regard to color
or patty, the free right of voting. That no
violence, threat nor intimidation whatever
was shown towards negro or coalition voters,
but, on the contrary, such voters were repeatedly
assured by I lie citizens, policcuieu
and military officers sent to Danville by the
(jovcrunr of the State, that they would lie
protected in their right to vote as they
chose. That election day was quiet and
without any disturbance or difficulty at any
precinct or elsewhere in the town, and the
election was honestly conducted and was
free .'Hid t'lir ill fill rn?nn?U mil ili.if ?! ?
negroes as a body refrained from voting
under the advice and coiniuund of their
purty leaders, while others voted the coalition
ticket without hiudraucc from any
quarter.
Your conimitteu has thus confined itseil
to an investigation of the lacts and the preparation
of the statement required, and
hciewith submit the evidence as a full and
complete vindication of our town and people
from the gross misstatements which
have been circulated through a portion ol
the press of the country.

Answer?(1). Wcare afraid that our
aus .cr will provoke a oonttoveisy with
some of the readers or the World who
have inherited the notion that the moon
has an ail prev. iliug iplluenee over vegetation.
We uiust tir.-t coufoss that .vo have
never had any couGdeuco whatever iu the
dictum?not enough to make a direct ex.
peiiuient to prove its truth or falsity. We
have observed, however, that oue of our
neighbors?an old and generally successful
wheat grower?always adhered to the rule,
and sowed during the "dark nights" (iu the
daytime though). But he always anplied
..i civ.. i *
uuoui uiij i#U9iifin >11 t'Hiuu scuu |H*r aert*
and ' put iu" the wheal with great care, and
when lie did tail of a crop he attributed the
i-iiiurc to rust or some other casualty, just
as we all do. The tiuic of sowing is impor.
taut, aud when the nights are dark, about
the last ol* October, it is well to "sow in
the dark nights but, according to our
observation, the last of October or first ol
November, or about the Sj'mc nf the first
killing frost, is the best time to sow wheat
in the cotton belt
(2). It depends upon the quality of the
land and the time of sowing. Karly sowu
wheat having more time to tiller need not
he sowu so thickly. The variety of wheat
will somewhat aflf ct ilio quantity, as some
kinds naturally tiller more than ofbers.
Generally, the seeding should amount to
one tenth of the expected yield Much
may be saved by Sowing with groat care, so
as to insure uniform distribution on each
acre, and on every spot in proporition toils
fertility. The sowirg of a few acres of
wheal->just enough to supply the family?
is such a small job, that we would prefer to
to do it by banu, goiug over the ground not
more than twice, and being governed tit
every step by the quality and condition of
the soil. Machine work is only rtccoui mended
on large trreas.
The plau of "ribbing," a9__yrac'i? vd by
Mime, is gonu, DiHii lor wiie.ti and osts. it
consists in thorough plowing the ground
ouo way, then cross plowing or plowing on
a level, with scooter plows?laying the furrows
about every twelve inches or less so
that they will bo left opeu. Then sow the
seed with care?going over at least twice?
and cover by dragging a harrow or bru>li
crosswise the furrows. This plau puts the
grain in drills almost as a aifeclmlly as if
sown with a drilliug machine, ami leaves the
rows slightly below the level. In tne case of
oats this greatly lessens the danger of
damage by winter freezing. The fertilizers
may bo sown iu the same way.

THE SEDGWICK
Steel Wire Fence
rilK above cut represent# a section and Onto
of a strong, cheap aud durable Steel Wirq
ence which is now being used at the North
ud Northwest in preference to any other kind
f fencing. Wherever it has been tried it baa
;iven great satisfaction.
It is a net work without .arbs and will keep
>ut small pigs or any other animals that may
njure gardens or farm crops.
It makes no shade and shelters no enemies
:rops or poultry.
It is just the fence for Gardens, Lots, Lawns
i'arks and Cemeteries.
Being dipped in Rust-proof paint it will last
t life time, and is better than board fence in
ivery respect.
It is easily and quickly put up.
