Dis worl' dat ives a-libbin' in is like cot

Dey mad to keep a-goin', jes' as fas' as fas'

Do YOU s'pose dat dey could ebber hab

And reached de Promised Land at last
II dey had stopped To fish?
My irien's, dar was garden once, Whar
Adam libbed wId Eve,
Wild no one round to bodder dem, no

And ebery day was Christmas, and dey

And eberyting belonged TO dem except an

CONTINUED TROUBLE IN CHARLES
TON.
The Fruits of Republican Rule in the
South.

CHARLESTON, Sept. S.-All last night
the colored militia and white clubs re-
manned at their places of rendezvous un-
der arms. A party of passing blacks
fired into the armory windows Of the Mont.
gomery guards. The fire was returned by
the blacks. Excepting this, and one or
two other minor disturbances, the streets
were quiet after midnight Public feeling
continues one of deep uneasiness. The
blacks talk of having torch light process
sion tonight. Efforts are being made tt
prevent it, as trouble will probably grow
out of it.
By the intervention of Congressman
Small the Combahee strikers have beer
induced to disperse without further mo
lestation of the laborers who continue t.
work in the rice fields.

NoRTHFIELD, Mimi. Sept. About
2 O'Clock this afternoon eight men, we'll
mounted. entered the town and pro-
ceeded to the bank. Three of them
81 rang over the counter and ordered the
cashier, j. l.. Haywood, with a knife TO
his throat, to open the vault. At the
same time all persons in the bank, a.
y: Bunker, assistant cashier, and Frank
wilcox, clerk, were ordered to bold up
their hands. Haywood refused to obey
orders and open the money vault. His
neck had been slightly scratched with
the knife. Still persisting the robbers
put the muzzle of a pistol to his right
temple and fred. Haywood fell dead.
They then turned to Mr.. Bunker and
ordered him to open the vault. He said
he did not know the combination. AS
the robbers made demonstrations to-
ward HIM, he ran out the back door.
They fired at him. shooting him through
the shoulder. Mr.. Wilcox was not in

good work. Two of the robbers were
killed outright and one wounded who was
taken away by ais confederates. One of
their horses were killed aud one captured
The robbers did not get into the vault nor
did they find the cashiers drawer. except
the nickle drawer, and the handful of
nic(els taken from it was thrown to the
floor. -Four of the eight men came to
town before the raiding and waited on the
north side of the bridge till the other four
came into town from Dundas., The men
were well mounted and armed. When
the robbers crossed the bridge entering
the town they drew their revolvers and
putting their horses into 1ull gailop dashed
through the streets, shouting to the people
on the walks to get inside, and ornamentiue
their shouts with the most fendish curses
and imprecations. While the three men
were engaged in the bank the others stood
on the street threatening to shoot any one
who interferred, and firing several harmless
shots Pistols and guns were quickly
, secured by the citizens and young mar

villains, shooting him through the heart
