DRIVE NEGROES OUT.
??l. ?
"Whites of Coleman, Tex., Eliminate
^ Black Population.
r
Coleman, Tex., April 24.?Twelve
negroes were badly beaten, one white
man was seriously injured and the
entire negro population of Coleman,
between 150 and 200 men, women
and children, driven out of town, as
the result of race riots which occurred
here at 1 o'clock this afternoon
and raged until far into the night.
v That many jersons were not killed
or seriously wounded is due to the
- fact that the negroes offered no re;
sistance except in isolated cases and
the whites contented themselves with
using clubs, sticks and stones instead
} ' of firearms.
Until the Santa Fe railroad begun
using negro laborers on construction
; work in this section, a black face was
a rarity and trouble had been brew;
ihS ever since negroes in consider
able numbers began coming to town.
This feeling has been greatly in*
tensified recently by alleged inflammatory
utterances of negro leaders
< , who asserted that they were here
|U ' and here to stay. With
this feeling of hostility existing,
it needed but a spark to start
Sj trouble, and this spark was furnished
this afternoon when two white
youths became involved in a fight
with a negro. In a short time a mot
of more than a thousand men ahd
boys were sweeping through the
:-.r section of the town occupied by the
negroes, clubbing and stoning every
,:v black that appeared.
and pleaded
_-w-_ .
^Vv threatened the*mob but his
words fell on deaf ears.
" < . Equally impotent were the efforts
of the marshal and his deputies to
check the riotous spirit. For several
piC: : hours the -v mob maintained its
i&v y: strength and in that time every section
of the city was raided as with
/ a fine tooth comb for negroes. The
latter fled in every directipn. The
\ very bulk of the mob was a factor in
favor of the negroes, as pursuit was
hampered by numbers, not more than
a dozen of the fleeing blacks being
' /overtaken. At 9 o'clock to-night
V when not a negro remained in the
town the mob dispersed, and it is
k4-~ belfeved there will be no further
^ ' trouble.
Ap old negro preacher, who is al;
. leged to have made himself particularly
obnoxious, is being pursued in
&V the hills by a small party of whites,
after having escaped the mob by a
- ; narrow margin. The wounded white

cuts and bruises about the head, but
he is not believed to be seriously
^ hurt.
John Ashley Trial in Progress.
B Greenville, April 26.?Numerous
witnesses told how Representative
Josh Ashley used negroes on his
plantation in Anderson county in
. . United States district court here today.
One of the negroes he is alleged
to have bad in peonage, George
Johnson, swore that he worked over
* four years to satisfy a debt of $26
and then had to run away. The government's
evidence was practically
\ * repetition of what came out at the
'previous trial a year ago, which ended
in a mistrial. The government
will rest its case early to-morrow
/ morning. A large number of witnesses
have been called by the def
fense, how many can not be learned.
Fight Duel With Knives.
Scottsboro, Ala., April 24.?John
Newell, 55 "years old. is dead and
Joe Jenkins is fatally wounded as a
result of a desperate duel with knives
here last night. In the encounter
Tontine was hadlv stabbed in the
abdomen, while Newell's throat was
cut from ear to ear, killing him almost
instantly.
After Newell, Jenkins^was attacked
by Butch and Arthur Newell, sons
of the dead man, who literally sliced
his face into ribbons but not before
he had stabbed Butch Newell, severe,
ly wounding him.
The elder Newell was buried this
afternoon, while Jenkins is in a hospital
ward with his death expected
momentarily. The cause of the
tragedy is unkno-wn.

MYSTERIOUSLY MURDERED.
: Tom Carson, Greenville Negro, Found
Dead in Woods. .
. The body of Tom Carson, a hardf
working negro, was found in the
t woods in Gantt township yesterday
. morning. A gun shot wound in the
j abdomen told how the man had died.
! From what can be learned of the
mystery, it appears there exists a
r feud among the colored people of
I that neighborhood, this being the
5 second killing within the week. The
frtur etartart lact SnnHav at a ramn
meeting at Mount Pleasant church,
t when the negro who was found dead
i yesterday accidentally stepped On
j the toes of a negro woman.
Carson quickly apologized to the
i woman, but a row started among
. the negroes generally, it is under.
stood, resulting in the killing of Pies
i Maze; for which crime three negroes,
i Dave Durham, P. Rodgers and Alfred
[ Sherman, are now in jail, having
[ been arrested and brought to the city
, Monday by Deputy Sheriffs Huntsing,
er and Green.
^fcursday afternoon Carson told
. his people he was going in the woods
. to shoot squirrels, taking with him a
. single-barrel shotgun. This was the
. last his people saw of him alive. The
; body was found early Friday morning
t by some passers by in the woods, and
the coroner was summoned.
; NWhen Coroner Batson reached the
scene, he found the body of Carson
. lying on the ground partially strip.
ped, his hat, coat and shoes lying on
. the ground nearby. The gun was
resting near a stump sixty yards
i away with a forked stick aimed at
. | the trigger, with the evident purpose
. of leaving the impression that Carson
had committed suicide. This
r theory was dispelled as quickly as
advanced, by the fact while a man
shot with a death wound in the ab:
domed might be able to take off his
coat, he would hardly be able to remove
his shoes. This idea was advanced
by Dr. Hendrix, the coroner's
* physician, who examined the body
and was questioned by the jury.
The coroner's jury examined a
- number of witnesses, but no trace
! of the murderer of Carson could be
> determined, and the verdict reads,
. "That Tom Carson came to his death
at hands unknown to the jury."
> The killing occurred about two
miles from the church where the row
L started last Sunday, and the theory
is advanced that some negro with
L the spirit of the vendetta ranking in
! him laid in the woods waiting his
chance to kill Carson.?Greenville

L nearly four years of suffering from'

Sadie's Last Resort.
Sadie, aged three, who had been
put to bed for an afternoon nap, felt
more inclined for play than sleep.
But her nurse, coaxed back twice on
some pretext, had requested to return
again. Resentfully she thought of
baby brother in (he next room. At
the slightest sound from him some
always hurried to the nursery. The
next instant she slipped out of bed
1 and opened the door of the adjoining
, room.
; A minute later both mother and
" nurse, aroused by piercing wails,
rushed upstairs to see what was the
i matter.* The baby, his little face
[ screwed into a knot, lay in his crib,
1 exercising his lungs to their utmost
capacity. Beside him stood his small
sister.
"I thought you'd come," she de;
clared, a wicked gleam of satisfack
tion in her eyes.
"Sadie," demanded her mother,
"what have you been doing to Rob
s ert?
i "I pinched him!" was the surprising
answer.?Lippincott's.

This contractor got results.
Some years ago a contractor building
a railroad in a warm climate was
troubled a great deal by sickness
among the laborers.
He turned his attention at once to
their food and found that they were
getting full rations of meat ana were
drinking water from a stream near by.
He issued orders to cut down the
amount of meat and to increase greatly
the quantity of Quaker Oats fed to the
men.
He also boiled Quaker Oats and
mixed the thin oatmeal water with
their drinking water. Almost instantly
all signs of stomach disorders passed
and his men showed a decided improvement
in strength and spirits. This contractor
had experience that taught him
the great value of good oatmeal. 53
