SCHEDULE.

We can only call attention to day
10 BIS suggestion of ''Eome Cen
tennial and big dinner and give
it our most hearty approval. The
suggestion is a good one, and the
reasons and deductions are most
happy. We reiterate the sugges
ton with all our heart, and endorse
every word of it. Let us have one
more grand gathering Of the people
in social and fraternal intercourse,
and one more grand barbecue, such
as we used to enjoy in the halcyon
days before the war, when we were
happier, and better, and more pros
porous, and more hospitable, and
charitable, and sociable. 1t viii do us
good to revive the glorious memo
ries of the past; to comingle in an
informal manner; to have a friendly
interchange of opinions and social
amenities, and to hear a word of
wisdom and word Of cheer from
the patriarchs, who cut the cane,
and felled the forests, and built the
towns, and made the roads, and es-
tablishcd the Churches, and inaug
urated the schools-who are now
passing down the hill of life, soon
to disappear in the valley. Let us
have meeting of the people to APP
point committees and make the ar
fragments, on the LIST Monday in
June.

A HOME CENTENNIAL.
A General Gathering of the
PeOple-OId and Young
and "a Big Dinner.


But few of the citizens of Giles
will be able to attend the Centen-
NAL to admire its wonders and en-
joy the national Publication. This
need not prevent our people from
having a grand and glorious rally
something like what We used to en-
JOY in olden times. We are con
stantly complaining of hard times
and gloomy prospects, but could we
get together in a great family social
gathering and talk over what we
have and what we need, there would
he less grumbling. 1t is isolation
living by onesclf-knowing moth
ing of other people-that causes
complaint, as much as anything
else.
Let us have a general re union,
not only because this is a centen-
NAL year, but because we need to
know more of each other, need Ia
accommodation, revival of old
friendships and acquaintance. Our
troubles will be forgotten or dis
missed, the hearts Of ofGsEnd young
made glad. The old an6sYouhg
will know each other, and one will
be cheered up while the other will
receive sage advice and learn wis
dom that age alone can impart.
1t will be worth honest money
and a pile of it to see such venera-
bic, honored and honest men gath
cred in one assembly to go over their
young days as Hon. Jas. McCallum,
Esq'r Charles Alternately, Capt.
Bowers, Col. T. X. Gordon, Mai.
John Gordon, Hon. R. NJ. Bugg, A.
Buford, Maj. I. NJ. Jones, Col. S
E. Rose, DR.. Jesse Mays, Esq. VIM
Perry, Messrs. X. Rodes, Jack
White, N. White, Weakly Reed
James White, David Bodenhamel
and a host of others of like nam,
and fame. Then let us have a gooC
old fashioned barbecue with Mr.
Creed Fhppin, the best man at tn,
business IN seven States, as heaC
caterer. VIII not some of our citi
zens put the ball in motion? w,
have plenty Of bread and meat, anC
but little time and no money will b,
, needed. The occasion can be mad,
a success. Our good mothers, wives
and sisters will do a full part. The
can always be relied on wheneve
any good thing is to be done.
What say the good people, not o
one section, but of the entire coun
= ty? Let us have no Pulaski Dime
but county dinner-a dinner no
for the benefit of any candidate o
2 candidates, but for every body
young and old. 1t will beat tn

The recent shooting affair at
Coushatta, Louisiana, was from all
accounts a very cowardly and law
less piece of business, and it has, of
course, been made the theme Of
blood-dripping editorials in all
Northern outrage organs, which
continue to point to the South as
the sole locality on the continent
where men let their angry passions
dissolve in the murderous smoke OF
the rife aad revolver. We observe,
for instance, lengthy article on
the subject in the Chicago Inter
Ocean, but on the same page we
find an account Of a bloody riot in
the lumber yards of that city, where
revolvers were freely used and two
or three men were slain in the arm
ed attempt to prevent some honest
workmen from earning 81 % per
diem piling lumber. / Ohio, Gov.
Hayes has had to call out the mill
tary to stand guard over some la
borers who want to work in the
coal mines, the White League of
that State having threatened them
with death if they continue. It ap
pears, therefore, that in several
Northern States Pennsylvania is
also a notorious example men can
not elect their employers, but hold
their lives in their hands when they
attempt to make a living by daily
labor. We suppose that this state of
affairs is regarded as perfectly excus-
able by the outrage organs, snce they
utter no protest against the infamy,
but it is well to remind them that
they live in glass houses of a pecu-
liarly fragile character, and should
not throw stones without due refec

New ORLEANS, May 15.-The
New Orleans Times special, dated
Summit, Miss, May Is, says infor-
nation was received here last night
of a row between negroes and
whites at Laurel Hill, West Felici-
ana parish, near the Mississippi line.
On Friday night about thirty ne
groes went to the store of a white
man in that vicinity, and called him
to the door and riddled him with
bullets. A posse from Bayou Sara
went on Saturday for the body
The negroes would not give it up.
A fight ensued, andThree negroes
were killed. Two white men are
missing. The negroes are gather
ing. Nearly 100 men are said to
be under arms. The whites are GO
ing down from neighboring ,copn-
ties in Mississippi. A serious fight
is expected.
A special to the Republican, from
Bayou Sara, says: "This is what I
consider as reliable as to the result
of Saturday nights doings: Eight
colored men have been shot dead,
and fou. hanged. About twenty
were wounded. No whites were
killed. Persons first from the
scene report sixty blacks killed, but
this l consider as exaggerated
Twenty colored men are reported
to be held as prisoners. Their fate
is uncertain, but the supposition is
that they will be killed also. The
number Of negroes killed will never
be ascertained, precautions having
been taken to remove the dead Sc
cretly. The number of regulator
under arms is said to be $780,
From East Baton Rouge and Eas
Feliciana and Wilkinson counties
Miss, the colored people are sale
to be arming in self defense. Sat
urday and Sunday nights a humble

escape those who are hunting them.
Second dispatch-There has beer
a regular engagement at Laure
Hill between the white and coloret
men. Three whites are reported
killed. God only knows where thi
will end. The country is ablaz
with excitement. All the white
are armed and in the saddle. Act
ing Gov. Antoine has received tn
following dispatch from DR.. Kaufi
man, Sheriff of East Feliciana par
ish:
Bayou Sayra, May 15.-In repl.
TO your telegram, have to say tina
seventeen colored men are killeC
and many wounded on the line o
Mississippi and Louisiana, and
large number of armed white mel
approaching the town. 1 canno

On the 3lss inst. the State Con-
vention will appoint delegates to the
National Convention to meet at St.
Louis in June. 1t is important that
wise, prudent, representative men
should be elected, and we take the
liberty to suggest that ex Gov. Jno.
c. Brown would be a suitable man
from this district Combining in
an eminent degree those rare ele-
ments, political sagacity, personal
integrity, indomitable energy, and
answering devotion to princi
pie and to the will of the people, he
is peculiarly the man to participate
in the National Convention, and
give it the benefit of his presence
and influence. If such men repre-
sent the party and the people from
all parts of the country, we need
not fear the result of their deliber-
atoms.

The resolution for which Nor
ton, Boutwell,, Key Il Co. voted is as
follows:
Whereas, 1t is alleged that the
late election in Mississippi in 1879
for members Of congress and State
officers and members OF the legisla-
ture was characterised by great
frauds committed upon and violence
exercised toward the colored citi-
zens of that State and the white citi
zens disposed to support the If rights
at the election, and especially that
the colored voters, on account Of
their color, race, or previous cOndi
ton Of servitude, were, by intimi-
datIUn and force, deferred from vot
ing, or compelled to vote, contrary
to their wishes, for candidates and
in support of parties to whom
they were opposed, and their right
to the free exercise of the elective
franchise, as secured by the fifteenth
amendment to the constitution,
thus practically denied and violated,
and that such intimidation has been
since continued for the purpose of
affecting future elections; and where
the people of all the United States
have an interest III and a right to
insist upon the enforcement of this
constitutional amendment, and con
gress, having the power to enforce
it by appropriate legislation, cannot
properly neglect the duty of provid
ing the necessary legislation for
this purpose; therefore
ResoIUed, that committee Of five
senators be appointed by the chair
to investigate the truth of these al
legations, and to inquire how far
these constitutional rights have in
the said election been violated by
force, fraud, or intimidation, and to
inquire and report 10 the senate, be
fore the end of the present session,
whether any. an /. il SO, what, fur
/ ther legislation IS necessary. to Sc
cure to said colored citizens the
free enjoyment of their constitu
tional rights; and that sand commit
tee be empowered to visit said
States, to send for persons and pa
pers, u take testimony on oath,
and to use all Necessary process for
these purposes.

before the public who are mere de
structives. They tear down every
thing, and give us nothing il its

out suggesting something better, is
brainless and wicked incendiary.

No wonder Columbus, Georgia,
is a thriving and prosperous city.
The Enquirer presents substantial
reasons therefor in the following
There is less expensive blessing, as
a rule, than has ever been the case
in Columbus. We notice upon our
streets every day ladies dressed III
fabrics manufactured in our own
mills. The large majority of Co
lumbus ladies' do their own sewing.
We have never known our ladies to
look more charming. The saloons
complain much Of q dizziness in
trade in their line. The men are
drinking.iess of spirituous and malt
liquors than OF yore. Economy is
now the order of the day. The PEG
pie are better off for the exercise.

correspondent in South Carolina,

the name Of A. Il. Howard. Both
are members of the Legislature,
where both sit with perfect equality,

course, is a Democrat, aud the lat

The Nashville Banner thinks it
likely, judging by present indica-
tons, that Tennessee farmers will
feel happier this fall than they were
last year in the way of an increased
wheat crop. The Banner says:
From all parts of the State cheering
reports come of Che condition and
prospect of the crop. Five million
bushels were raised in Middle Ten
nessee last year, and if a good sea
son is had this year, between seven
and eight million bushels will be har-
vested Should this be done, Ten
pessee can boast of the centennial
year of independence as much as
any member of the Union, as her
fertile fields will have yielded the
largest crop during her existence.
The price Obtained for the choicest
of last years crop was much larger
than at first anticipated. 1t is
thought that of that crop two mil
lion bushels remain in the hands OF
the farmer, and one-fourth of it is
more or less damaged.
