II hes been suggested that the meeting
tonight, after deciding 10 form perthl-
neut organization for an annual "lnGus-

point a committee TO confer with the MO-

active measures to remove this cause OF
trouble. and have Just succeeded in securing
|, 900 German laborers from Castle Garden,
in New York. They are represented to be
newly.arrived immigrants. and about .
third OF them have already commenced on
the work. This looks like business.

Dastardly Assault.

About four o'clock Monday morning,
Mr.. - Meekins, who lives few miles
east Of this city, was knocked down and
brutally beaten by two unknown men.
1t seems that he had several bales of cot
ton in his gin and had just been out to
see if they were all safe, knowing that
thieves sometimes erowled about that
hour. While returning to the house
the Williams rushed upon him, dealing
him stunning blow upon the back Of
the head with some blunt instrument
The blow stunned him and he fell help
lessly to the ground, when the assault
was continued, his body being cOnsid-
erably bruised and two ribs broken.
Mr.. Meekins is about seventy yeas
old, and the seriousness of his injuries
coupled with the extreme age, render his
recovery question of doubt, Though
conscious, he is in precarious condi-
ton. At the time of the assault it was
too dark for him to identify the parties
whether white or black. 1t is believed
that the object was assassination, as
they left him for dead upon the ground,
and molested nothing on the premises.
