of his imprisonment. One night he
took a couple of stout cart wheels
standing near his cabin, boarded
them in on three sides with two. inch
plank, and when Mundy put in au
appearance the next morning con-
fronted him with this movable bat
terry. The tables were turned. The
old man had to fall back. Locklier
followed him up the road with his
battery, Smelling him at every jump.

his shotgun to cover.
TIE MOONLIGHT TRAGEDY.
"Well, the war was kept up in this
way about a week, but at last it had
to come to an end. One bright moon.
light night Locklier thought he would
quietly wheel his battery up the road
and see if he couldn't catch Mundy
outside of his Notifications. So he
laid his rifle before him. and set the
wheels agoing. He had showed them
about quarter of q mile, and was
just turning a curve in the road when
he heard a scraping noise on mis- left.
Mundy had tlanked him. By the
light of the moon he could see the
old man on his knees behind a fence,
showing the barrels of his shotgun
between the rails and getting his
head down to take aim. LockIier
had no time to lose. He snatched
his rifle and sighted it. They fired
together. Mundy fell dead with a
rifle bullet in his head, and Locklier
tumbled into his battery with eleven
buckshot in his breast. He lived
about four hours, and declared if he
hadn't been listening to the crickets
he would have seen Mundy before the
battery passed him. Tho wife and
daughter buried the two men, divided

In our wandcrings We have cOnvers-

In our wanderings We have cOnvers-
ed with a large number of mechanics,
draymen, clerks, professional men and
merchants, and from all come express
sions of the necessity which at pre-.
sent exists for an early and thorough
organization of the white people of
this State for self-defense and preser-
vation of their rights. This move
ment has been made more popular
than it otherwise would have been by
the aggressive demennor of the ne
gloes within the past few months, and
is the direct effect of q policy their
leaders have instilled into the negro
masses. In the street cars, on the
sidewalks, and in fact wherever one
is thrown in contact with them, can
be seen that overbearing manner
which had, to a certain degree, died
out two years ago.
What they imagine can be gained
by such conduct we are at a loss to
know, for those to whom they look
for guidance must know that white
men do not readily forego privileges
enjoyed by them for centuries. In
earneStness we say that, looking at
the condition of affairs in this State,
with thoroughly equipped negro
militia, commanded by negroes, the
many responsible positions held by
them and the enormous power placed
in their hands under the acts of the
past corrupt Legislature, it belooves
the white people to place themselves
under discipline IN order that a con.
tict Of races be averted, and if mo-
averted, that they be I'M position t
protect their wives and children.
