" 1 ' # J AST E LANCASTEl THREATENED RACE WAR. The Troublesome Negro Surrendered and the Trouble Practically Over. i I What promised a few days ago ; to be a race war in the "black belt" of Georgia has about blown [ over without any serious danger. A negro killed Deputy Sherifl Townsend and then resisted arrest. The sheriff started out with a posse to arrest the fugitive. , The negroes began to gather and to arm themselves. Reports said that there were 1000 armed negroes in a large swamp not far from Darien, Ga., defyiug the arrest of Denegal the murderer of i the Deputy Sheriff. The Sherifl , called upon Gov. Candler to send ' the militia to his assistance . Troops were promptly sent, and last Saturday Denegal surrendered to a detachment of 30 of the soldiers. Lie said he was beinp closed in upon bo rapidly by the Sheriffs posso that he knew il was but a matter of a little time when they would capture him, so > he chose to surrender to the sol! dierB and pray tlfeir protection | There are about 5 negroes to 1 ? white in that black district There are several towns and vil lages populated by negroes entirely, not a white family living there. There remain something ovei 200 soldiers on duty. These will remain until after the sitting oi 1 the special term of superior court \ which has been called to meet on ; Wednesday to try John Denegal , for the murder of Deputy Sheriff i Townsend. The special term will also try Henry Denegal, the negrc > about whom all the trouble has arisen, and the 25 black rioters who are now confined in the ' Savannah jail. It is probable that a special J train and a military escort will ' bring the rioters from Savannah for trial A citizens' committee has employed special counsel to assist the solicitor general in prosecuting the case against John ' Donegal lor the murder of Town send. It is probable that his trial will be concluded the first day ol , the court. The trial of Henry 11 Donegal, will also probably be 11 short and result in an acquittal. > jit is pretty generally conceded i | that bis relations with the woman Min the case were with her consent, , There has never been the slightest 1 danger that Henry Donegal would bo lynched, lie was arrested on complaint of the woman's fathei BRAVE flUEN FALL Victims to stomach, liver and i kidney troubles as well as women ( ana all reel trie results iu loss ol appetite, prisons iu the blood backache, nervousness, headache : and tired, listless, run-down feel r ing.

Every bottl* guaranteed. 2 mo negroes intended raiding tne jail for the purpose of releasing Donegal, the sheriff concluded it would bo wise to remove him to Savannah for safe keeping. The negroes affected to believe it was the purpose of the whites to take Denegal just outside of town and . lynch him, hence armed themselves and began their riotous and incendiary conduct, to suppress which the governor called out the militia. There are still several hundred armed negroes in the swamp. A ^ torrential rain has fallen today, which will do much towards \ dampening their ardor. No radical change in the situation, however, is looked for before the convening of the special term of ' court. 1 1 MILLIONS 6IVEN AWAY. It is certainly gratiiyfng to the ; public to know of one concern in , the land who are not afraid to be generous to the needy and suffer ing. The proprietors oi Dr. King's 1 New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds, have given away over ten million trial bottles of this great medicine; and have the satisfaction of knowing it has absolutely cured thousands ot hopeless cases. Asthma, Bronchitis, Hoarseness and all diseases of the Throat, Chest and Lungs are surely cured by it. Call on Crawford Bros. Druggist, and geta free trial bottle. Regular size 50c. and $1.

Pratt, of Huntsville, Ala., is president of the West * Huntsville Cotton Mill, and opi orates at the same place one of , the largest ginning plants in the country. He has been using the 1 ronndlap bale for two years, and exnep.ffl t.n nnt. nn R ftfifl fr? 1H rtfin m ? r **w f v?vwv vv bales of 500 pouoda oach during the coming season. Mr. l'ratt has also organized companies for 1 building two very large roundlap i bale plants at Tuscaloosa and ( JDemopolis, Ala., and estimates that he will handle at these two points this year 30,000 to 40,000 i bales of 250 pounds each, or the equal of 15,000 to 20,000 square bales. In a letter to the Manufacturers' Record, giving his experience with his Iluntsville plant, he says: "We are gintiers and cotton manufacturers, and opprato ten 70-saw gins ami tour presses. For two years we have operated roundlap bale presses of the American Cotton Company. The ' first year we handled 2,200 500 pound bales, and the second year [ 5,100 500 pound bales. This year ( with a good crop in this vicinity, we expect to put up 8,000 or 10,000 bales. Our experience has been most satisfactory, both from a ginner's and a manufacturer's 1 standpoint, and the fact that we have so largely increased our bus f iness is ample evidence that the , planters are .well satisfied.

Hence there is uo wast Any planter who has dealt wit us will certify to the fact that L can better afford to haul colto twenty to thirty miles to our gu rather than gin near home, wit the extravagant old-tashiouc method. He can not ouly eav time, but make money by so d( ing, and gets paid lor all the co ton he brings, whether he sells i once or holds his crop. He alt appreciates the saving in havin the bale sampled once instead < many times, and he further ui derstands that he gets a betti grade than he does on the oJ country gins, owing to the sup< rior machinery used for cleanini etc. So much tor the planter.

This can be doc at a cost not exceeding forty cent all told, while the old proce< costs him not less than $1.25, it eluding bagging and ties. In cai the ginner wants to buy and se cotton on his own account, moi of the railroads of the South wi allow him compress fees of eigl and one-half cents per hundrei weight, or forty two and one-ha cents per bale. If he wants to se his cotton to the American Co ton Company, it allows him premium of $2.25 per bale ovt the value of the same cotton i sauare bales at his lorahtv tlm giving him $1.25 net after payin royalty of twenty cents per hm dredweight for tlie use of tli press, maintenance of the earn and regular inspections.

"There is no chance of nnxin jbales or samples, owing to tli perfect system in use, and o chance of losing cotton by coin I try damage, as water will no penetrate the bale, owing to a jair being excluded in baling. Tn street buyer, sampler and cotto I thief, owing to complete coverini have no chance to get their 'ai ger in,' to use a common expres ion, as there is no necessity f? cutting the covering under th I American Cotton Company sampling system.
