one ofthe Khan Killed by a Negro
near BeIIbucl1le.


Shelbyville Commercial.
A negro named Calvin Ander
son. living near Belbuckle, shot
and killed a white man named
Bob Lowe, who wore the disguise
of a Kuklux. last Monday morn
ing. Tie circumstances are as
follows:
Anderson was aroused between
the hours of 2 and 3 o'clock by
son e one knocking very loudly
on his door and demanding admit.
lance. The negro went t. the
door and asked who was there.
The man on the outside told hun
to o;en the door and seid if be
didn't he would break it down.
and thereupon be (the outsider)
went to fence near by aud got
rail. with which he broke down
tbe door. The negro then saw he
wore the garb Of a Kukiux, aud
thinking he meant to do him some
harm he (the negro) stepped back
and got his shot gun, which was
loaded with buckshot, and fred
at the man as he entered the
door. The KukluX threw up
bis hands and ran to the fence
and attempted to climb over, but
fell on tue outside. The negro,
observing that there were four
others near, ran out the back door
and hid in some lumber near the
house. The other four kuklux
ran off, but came back in about
an hour and took off the dead
mans garb and carried him
away, leaving the garb on the
ground By the fence. They also
left two mules which the negro
afterwards took charge Of.
The negro fearing some further
injury would be attempted, came
to Shelbyville Monday morning
and delivered himself to the Sher-
if. He brought with HIM the
garb which bad been left at bis
fence. 1t consisted of hood or
head gear and a short jacket and
pants. The material was red cal.
leo, trimmed with white. There
was also another hood made Of
white domestic and trimmed with
red.
1t seems that the red hood was
worn at the time of the shooting
as it contains great many bullet
or shot holes. 1t hung down
about as far as the waist and the
shot holes were on the right side,
indicating that the load pcnetra
ted the right lang.
Everybody believed the negro
justifable and be was not arres-
rested. He remained in Shelby
vile all day Monday and went
home Monday night. The dead
mans garb was lett with the
Sheriff.
Calvin Anderson is considered
peaceable and quiet negro and as
never been known to be engaged
in any difficulty with any one.
The affair is deeply deplored
and lamented by the community
in which the young man resided,
but every one seems to justify the
negro.
Robert Lowe is the son o!
widow and a nephew of Col. jas.
Lowe.
The mules LETT on the negro's
will probably lead to
the detection OF the ether parties.
The affair viii no doubt put an
end to KukiuxIng in that neigh
borhood.

of weakness TO the party now.
But Butler, ADLER than either of
the others, and having no more
conscience, is the enemy the
party has most reason to dread.
The quarrels OF politicians,
however bitter, seldom break
up parties, and the Repub-
licans would probably in due
season ignore both Hayes and
Conkling and go to the polls
in solid body. Buffers move
ment is not based on any
quarrel among party leaders,
though it will unquestionably
be benefited by them. 1t starts
with The people. 1t must az
feet the Republican party more
severely than the Democratic
for various reasons. In the first
place, Buffers influence is con-
fined TO regions where the Re-
publican party is in power. Be
sides this, thousands upon thou
sands of Republicans have been
alienated from the party by the
conduct of the Administration, |
and are looking around for new
political associations. On the
whole, there is every reason to
believe that unless a miracle
shall be worked in It's favor, the
nexCelections will result great

subject, and see if some better man
has not had the same idea and
pushed it farther than he is able to
do. Read and inquire and study
hard and close the particular branch

much capital and SO much young

REMARKS OF -. "A. GOOOW KIN
Before the GOODWIN Club on, the
'HOllOwhOrn." Reported by N.
A. Gregory.
That farmer is the most success
full who produces from his land the
largest crops, with the least ex-
pense.
The climate. the soil and the fa-
c%ilities for the disposition Of the
produce, determine the clOps to be
cultivated.
Up to the year 1868 there was
very little regard paid to the i'm
| provement of the soil and very lit
tie skill employed in its cultivation.
The necessity seemed not to exist,
| previous to that time in the South,
| for either, for the reason that ne
groes were property, and were fire.
quently sold to pay expenses of the
farm.
We see around us the result of
the system pursued by the farmers
up to the period mentioned.
There is an abundance of land,
much of it encountered with debt.
That which the farmer is able to
retain, after the payment of his
debts, or to which he may be enti-
tied by the charity of the law, with
the addition of his live stock, con-
stituted, in many cases, his capital.
/The sterility of nearly all of this
land and the inferior quality of the
stock, and no money with which to
improve either, the result of a svs-
tenn consequent upon the ownership
of slave property, placed the far
mers in an unenviable position.
They had to resort to various eXpe-
dients. The n generally adopted
was to cultivate the farm with labor
to be paid for with a part of the
crop, which considering the already
!, unproductiveness of the land, wa!
: the most fatal to all improvement
The labor thus employed was
r like the proprietor, without money
and had to be provided for by tn,
a proprietor, and he had no othe
means of doing SO, save to mortgag
d his property, relying upon tn
prospective crop to reimburse him
which, IN many cases, was no
l. sufficient, consequently a sale at
'e sacrifice.
Il There are scarcely any of US VIII
