Between Three White Men and c Negro on Main Street.?Came Near Being a Serious Affair. Last Sunday afternoon came near witnessing a serious row between some white men and a negro. Just how it all started is difficult to determine, as several tales are related various per sons. it seems, however, that Mr. William Johnson, of Kelton, who drove into town and up to the sidewalk and asked Coleman iKendrix, a negro, about a bootb&ck, received a reply that neither he nor some by-standers liked. Words followed, then blows; we cannot say who struck the first blow. Anyhow, Mr. John Moseley and Mr. W. L. McGowan were in the tussle that followed. Mr. Moseley received a cut on his face, and Mr. Johnson's hand was hurt. The negro was knocked to the * ground and beat up considerHfe&bly. But by some means, he regained his feet and made off the street, down behind Bailey-Copeland Co's. store, and finally into a. negro church on *.

Although a warrant ?has been sworn out for Kendrix, \^e has not yet been arrested. / Kendrix is an employee on the U. & G. S. road and from the authorities of this road we learn that he is a good negro, peaceable and not addicted to drink. So just how he became engaged in this row is hard to explain, and somewhat a surprise. Golton Mill News.
