THE SOUTHERN CONFLICT.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, August 12.-Parties
who arrived by steamer St. Francis
state that the negroes occupied Austin
at 2 p. m. yesterday. Capt. James
Lee says after the negroes who had
Austin surrounded were repulsed yes
terday they disappeared and the story
was soon circulated that they were
numbering women and children left un-
protected on the surrounding planta-
tons, which caused the men who had
been defending the place to start for
their homes to protect their families,
and Austin was soon left without any
defenders except one or two white men,
and the negroes came in and took pos
session and proceeded to break open sa-
loors and stores and help themselves.
and at last accounts had CO nmitted no
acts Of violence toward the few whites
who were unable to get away but
as they were becoming drunk there
we're fears of their burning the village.
They sent messenger to Capt. Lee
asking him to land there, but he had a
large number of refugees on board. some
Of whom the negroes had threatened to
kill, among whom was DR.. Phillips. late
Republican member Of the Legislature.
The refugees beggc3 him not to do so
and he passed without landing.
MEMPHIS: Aug. l2.-The Appeal $
Helena special says Mr.. Sebastian, just
arrived from Austin, makes the follow
ing statement:
Between three and four hundred men
from Memphis landed at Shoofy, five
miles below Austin this morning and
marched into the town
without opposition, at 3
o clock. The citizens had abandoned.
the place the previous evening. The
colored men after holding the place a
few hours and sacking it, left for their
homes. The Memphisians found about
thirty negroes in town, who surrendered
at once. Eight of them we're arrested
and put in Jail. The others. being non
combatants. were not molested. Every.
thing up to the time left was quiet.
At Trotter's Landing l learned the
negroes were organizing for the purpose
of retaking Austin and their pickets

Editor Anti Monopolist
Wheat in this section is about three
fourths of full crop. It will average
from twelve to fifteen bushels per acre,
but it is of good quality. Barley is
light, especially that which was late
sown; oats and corn are COED. Corn is
little late, but with a reasonably
good fall it will mature.
Politically, We are all quiet. for we
are busy harvesting; but be assured the
taxpayers will not, to any extent, sup.
port any salary-grabber. The Anti
Monopolists are in earnest IN this mat
ter; neither are they willing to grant
excessive salaries to our officials as has
been the practice heretofore. Re-
trenchment is the word.
Judging from what l hear, Hon. VIM.
Mitchell, Of Winona. would be the most
acceptable candidate for Congress IN
this District if he would accept the
nomination. Very truly yours,

THE QUESTION SETTLED.
KAssoN, August 3, 1874.

MASON, august .. 1914.
Editor Anti Monopolist:
The great question is settled at last
The Changers can discuss whatever
they please except partisan politics.
As no one has even wanted to discuss
partisan politics, not even Donnelly,
suppose those little creatures who were
in favor of the ''hush up policy" will
hide their heads in shame and silence.
If State Master Parsons had said
partisan politics" there would have
been no controversy about the matter.
But he kept on talking about politics.
politics, and that word, in its large
sense, included everything relating to
government. But nevertheless he found
plenty of willing slaves, ready to obey
his mandates, whatever they might be.
But as Calico said, ''the world moves. :
and, he might have added, in the right
direction too. &. j.

Our township committee Of the Anti

is as follows:
Len Snow, Jr., Otsego; James Doug

The people are all in state Of be-

Otsego will roll up large majority
on election day for the Autobiography
party. Very truly yours,

Mr.. EDIToR:-In my article IN
your last paper. there is a typograpIi'
ical error. You print $4,000, in
stead OF $4,000 90, which would be
the amount saved if the people would
pay TIE 1890 directly for school pur'
poses.
By reference to the Auditors Re-
port for 1873, it will be seen that
while Jackson county pays into the
school fund 1890, she only got back
$485 %, which sum is all she received
for at least $4,000 90 spent for in
to~xioating liquor. Oh! what a bless.
ingi By reference to the Auditors
Report, it will be seen that Jackson
county paid $11,O0l SO state and
school tax. and if the county tax
was equal to that sum, then the coun-
ty paid about $4,000, taxes-ahout
two.thirds an much as was paid for
intoxicating drinks. This $4,000,
spent for liquor does not add one cent
to the material wealth of the county
or state. The first cost of the mate
rails consumed in a grog shop, al
goes out of the state, and never re-
turns. The whole sum spent for liq
uors is o dead loss. If the men who
spend their money for liquor, would
save it. it would pay all the State,
County and School tax and educate
all the children at least, six months
in the year. 1t is the children of
dram drinkers and drunkards who die
unable TO reap the advantages of an
education ss q general rule.
Our taxes are enormousl, high and
we oil feel it, bat as I have shown.
more money is spent for intoxicating
liquors than for taxes SENEx.
