SHOOTING Acknowledgements Con
DUCT OF NEGRoEs.-A very dlsgraceful
and provoke ed shooting affair occurred at
the residence of Mr.. James Moore, in the
eastern end of this county, on last Thurs
dav. 1t seems from the statement of
Mr.. Moore, that the negroes on the place
had evidently laid plan to bring on a
conflict with himself While one of the
negroes approached him in a very abrupt
manner, demanding an explanation for
some matters that had occurred the day
before, two others came up, each with a
gun, and at once fired upon him. The
guns were loaded with some kind of slugs,
one of which hit Moore, and another
Press Davis, who was standing near,
neither of whom was seriously hurt.
Moore attempted to return the fire, but
found that his gun had been tempered
with. one Darrell failed, and the other
load had been changed. The negroes
then made off, and came to town and
reported to the Provost Marshall their
tale of the affair. 1t. Lewis sent them
back home, but afterward learning the
facts of the case, sent guard and arrest
ed them, and four of them are now in
| Jail awaiting a farther investigation. We
are no alarmist, but we would say to all
be on your guard, such affairs are likely
to occur at any time, and must be met
promptly. Be prepared for any emer-
gency. The negroes of the county, many
of them at least, think freedom means a
license to do as they please, and are
mad because they cannot do with you
and your property as they please Dea
kindly and justly with them, but always
deal promptly.
