A SHOOTIN~G SCRAPE. On Thursday morning t wo negroes, afas Fora and John Cason, got into difficulty on the street near the yurt house. Earlier in- the morning >me words had passed between the o anid it is supposed that they had ~one off and armed themselves pre aratory to a second meeting. Ruans ~'ord, who had two pistols, fired at ohn Cason, who had one, but before other shot could be fired by either f the men the police and other officers tf the law had arrested the men.I hey were carried before the council nt bailed themselves out until Frida7 hen they were again taken before e mayor who fined Rufns Ford $2e, t John Cason was dismissed. It is fortunate thing that the shot fired y the negro did no damage for such ckless shooting might easily have sulted in a serious hurt to some one. A CARD. Mr. Editor: I desire to write a short iece explaining my connection with he Upper Longtown school. I taught e above mentioned EChcol from the elfth of September until Christmas ~eing apprised of opposition on the )art of'some of the patrons, I went to e of the trustees and conferred iith him; he suggested the advisa )ility of calling a meeting of the tatrons in order to ascertain their ntiments in regard to the opposition. [he patrons met and eleven of them roted to retain me as .teacher, five of em cast dissenting votes. During e Christmas holidays, I received a etter from the trustees in wLich they :ated that they had concluded to sus cnd my school until they could get he patrons harmonized. Thinking erhaps my friends were not aware of e trustees decision to suspend the chool, I felt that it was my duty to ake the train, go back and confer! 'ith my supporters, and inform them )f the action of the trustees. I talked ith my friends and told them that I as enough Denmocratic in sentiment Lud principle to believe that the ma rity should rn'e in all question' ,ertaininag to the public welfare, bu: tt the same time I was too inde ,endent to push mnyszly on an) op oing minority in school matters.1 Since my return houme I have writ en to some of the patrons with whom did not have time to talk in reference > ihe subject under consideration. I ld my friends that I did not intend o desert them, but I was frank to a that I was perfectly willing to Lender my resignation if it would be nstrmental in bringing abont that so tuch need~ed harmony. I felt that 1 id been njustly criticised and mis represented by one or two of the patrnrs. Had I continueld to teach h scnool I thought perhaps some nf the patrons who were opposed to me teacher would keep their children ii :be school to be the cause or some oI t" oatrons keeping their children 31.e and thereby deprive them of Mo C;rtunity to improve their edu can. . Though I had been mistreated by. or two of the patrons, I felt S -. ( c d rise above the plane of ;e -ess und tender my resignation .i.r that the patrons might, if ."e, elect some one who would a:ceptable to all who are interested ini ti school. Some of the patrons to 4'ex that they bad had some of the bIP ta : chers in the county and soma of t patrons were opposed to them a'Idi not send tbe:r children. That I ein ;e condition of affairs that had exissihd heretofore I felt that the little oppovition was not any relection on I myrelf. I feel very much indebted to most of the people of that community for the kindness sbown me during my s!y in that section. I have made soaine goed friends in the Longtown comau nitv, and I regret that I did not visit the people more than I did. Thinking that I would continue to teach there after Christmas and would visit all of those who had invited me to partake of their hospitality, hence the reason I did not visit the homes of all -Ybo had invited me. I return many thanks to the families with whom I boarded, I shall always feel very grateful for their hospitality. In conclusion lot me say to the levrIo patrons who so zealously sup ported me in the contest just before Christras, that I shall always very bigily appreciate the obligations under wiinh you have thereby placed me. Shold the opportunity ever occur I will 'ak.- great pleasure in doing whit var I can to reciprocate for %Vol thu conferred. It is my earnest p. a. r to God that I may never prove rec.-e:d~ to my friends. I have no personal animosity toward those who worked and voted against me. I have no desire to retaliate for any injustice. I In the language of the immortal Blaine, If one were to map out a course of retaliation and carry it into practical operation they would not live long enough to reap the reward of their efforts. If they were to succeed in that respect I imagine that the re worre of conscience, if they had any, would be a great punishmen I :to with best wishes for good will, narmony and prosperity among P.ll thei people Yours truly, Jan. 19, '99.
