The PArk PIaee Tronble..

Sheriff Anderson returned last night
from the Park place. out on the Old
Raleigh road some eight miles from the
city, where negro Sidney Meriwether was,
as alleged, shot by some one Of the Mack
Williams crowd. The sheriff met Mack
Williams and party at Raleigh. They
we're all armed with s~hot-guns. They
had been discharged from custody by
Magistrate Pryor, no white or black man
daring to swear out a warrant. There is
great excitement and uneasiness in
the neighborhood. The negroes are
afraid to 60 to work, and the
Mack Williams crowd is afraid to
90 around unless heavily armed. The
best citizens deplore the violence and
the bloodshed which have cropped out
between Mack Williams and party and
the negroes. Sheriff Anderson succeeded
in a measure in restoring quiet, and has
the promise that he will be notified
should any farther trouble occur. The
best citizens Of that portion Of the county
should organize a committee and pre-.
