A Threatened Riot. We understand that there came very near buing a riot last night between the colored employees of the Gorman-Wright etemmery who are from Virginia, and cer tain negroes of the town.

He is ready or work and will preach at the isnal time at the Baptist church o-morrow. Mr. Ben J.

A spirit of this kind should be arrested at once. If the Gorman Wright company see fit to introduce expert labor here, to carry on their own busi ness, it is the concern of no one else, if these employees behave themselves, and any interference on the part of the colored people here with the plans of this com pany is a piece of presumption that should be severely checked. If we mistake not the sentimept of this town, the white people will not sympathize with this feeling and will aid in putting it down. Suppose that our old merchants, carpenters, blacksmiths,tradesmen of all kinds, professional men and farmers were to take the position that none others in their lines should pursue business or labor here, we wonld be set down by the world as people of the grossest ig norance and stupidity; and just uow particularly so, as such en terprises as the Gorman-Wright company are planting, are but opening the way for others which will in time give employment to ce Cream j Da ^ y , s [ ^tSnoon Bucklen’* Arnica Salve.

We hear that women too, were conspicuous in the move ment—not the respectable colored women of the city, we know. We hope the women concerned will remember a riot here many years ago, in which women figured conspicuously, and which only brought shame and defeat upon them. So will it be again.
