PARTICULARS of riot between color
ed railway laborers and some whites living
near Gainesville Ga, have just been re-
ceiyed. Several weeks. since a white man
named Hicks, desperado, shot at several
railroad hands for slight cause. The other
day party Of whites went to a store In
the neighborhood with peaches to sell, and
while trading a negro boy was charged with
stealing some fruit. One OF the whites
aimed gun at him, but did not fire; but
after leaving the store one Of the fruit ped
oilers turned and fired into group of negro
workmen, who returned the fire and pur-
sued the whites, about fifty shots being eX-
changed but no one hurt. The next day
Hicks quarreled with number OF the ne
gro hands who were gathered at the store,
disarming five, and was in the act of dis
arming sixth when the negro, resisting,
was shot and killed. This tragedy wrought
up the negroes to the highest excitement,
and forming a mob they attacked Hicks
with great ferocity. He ran for his life,
but before he had got fifty yards away was
| literally riddled with bullets. More whites
appeared upon the ground and four ne
groes were badly wounded, but the former
soon fed before superior numbers, and
the negroes patroled the counties of Pauld
ing and Polk all night and the next day,
defying two sheriffs and posse.
