were finally contented with an apology.
The negroes got frightened and ran off,
but returned to work the next day. The
Woodville Republican is naturally an
CRY at this outrage and insists on the
immediate arrest of these men for
breach OF the peace and demoraliziDg
labor. Public opinion of the county
denounces the affair in the loudest

About one hundred car loads of grain

The peach crop Is so abundant in
