Ed. Wilson Catches Negroes Stealing
Corn. and they AI1empt to XII Hill

Just after dark Tuesday night, Ed. Wilson
on of Hon. w. ID. Wilson, heard an unusual
noise in the cornteld, near the oTcnaTu C
which sounded very much like persons
pulling corn. He got a pistol and started
into the field; and when he got to some corn
that vas pulled down across the path, he
was ffred'on, the ball passing through his
hat, and grazing his scalp. Almost stimuli
taneously another negro mace az him with
a large knife, evidently made out or an ola
file and struck at him four times, leaving
four distinct marks on his left breast By
this time Ed, got his pistol in readiness, ana
fired at the negro With the knife. The ne
gro, who was as large a. IheO. LlpScono
threw his hand up to his breast, and spoke
in a loud voice TO his comrades, ~ ~ snol'
boys run; it's Ed. Wilson, and hell Kill you
as sure as HI" This big negro ran, but In
stead OF obeying him, one of his fellow ne
groes came up and struck Ed, wilson with
large club, made of a seasoned pefsimm0n
bush, having large knot at the end lie
knocked Ed. down twice, 1nfllctlng Two
painful wounds. Ed. fired three SHOTS al
this negro after he fell, and thinks the last
shot hit him, as he ran off, crying, ION,
Lord" Mr.. Wilson is vely sore, but II ne
escapes fever, ceuSed by conclusion OF the
brain he will soon be up. In Wardlng Oh
one of the blows, the club struck him on ms
left wrist, probably breaking one OF ~ ~

evening. Jack Porter, Jim DoWel, Tom
started out after the would-be murderers
and tracked one of them to a wood-lot
fence, where blood was discovered on one
of the rails. Jim Dowel cut on Q splinter
with the blood on it. Mr.. VIM. y. Wilson
was absent from home on business, at Bigoy-
willie, and did not return until "Wednesday
evening. He thinks, from the remarks OF
one of the negroes, that they thought at
first it was W. Is. Wilson they were after,
and vet he cannot account for it. as he dl9
not know he had an enemy among Ihe col
ored people. Eds pluck no doubt kept him
from being killed. The negroes no DOUBT
were simply stealing corn, and attacked Ed.
to keep him from discovering and firing at
them. Mr.. Wilson had been mis- sing corn
some time, and told his boys to keep the
pistol loaded, but TO fire over them, ana NOT

Independents No Longer.

Nothing gives us more pleasure than
The sensible talk ofgentlemen who acted
with the Independent wing in the re-
cent election. They say henceforth they
will support the nominees of the Demo-
cratic and Conservative party. Sam. r.
Watkins, late Independent candidate
for Tax Collector, attended the late
State Convention, and says he is a Con-
ventiOn man hereafter. Mr.. Watkins is
a brilliant young man, and his present
position is source of rejoicing to US.
We learn that that old wheel~horse of
Democracy, Woodson d. Davis-a life
long Democrat, says he is from now on
ready to work in the traces. Why not {?
are we not all of the same faith?
