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.

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

Mr. T. W. 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

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. The

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

the extravagant old-tashiouc

appreciates the saving in havin
the bale sampled once instead <
many times, and he further ui
derstands that he gets a betti

rior machinery used for cleanini
etc. So much tor the planter.
"Now let us see how the ginn<

and campress 500 pounds of lit
in eight minutes, using a goo
outfit of five 70-saw gin6 to tfc
press, and can do better with
larger battery. 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. The gi
plant can be run with less UU
and less cost of insurance tha
the old system, and if cotton i
stored, four times as no'ch can h

"From a manufacturer's stanc
