BLACK AGAINST WHITE
Startling Rumors from Southamp'

That the Negroes a Thousand Strong
are Planning for a Midnight Mas
sacre of the Whites-HeIp
Implored.

NORFOLK, Va, November 9.-The white
people OF Southampton, Va. are apprehen-
sive OF ali outbreak of the negroes. Tele-
grams have been received at Portsmouth
asking assistance in the event OF trouble.
The Mayor has posse OF citizens ready if
the summons comes. Yesterday drunken
negro told the servant OF white family
that at 12 o'clock last night thousand
negroes intended to slay every white per-
son in Southampton county. The
whites at Newsom's, Franklin's, Boy
toms and Branchville sent scouts out
to learn what was going en-. 1t
vas noticeable that the negroes were not
seen at these usual places. This gave ad-
ditional color to the report and the women
and children were taken TO the woods and
gusrded. kilograms state that the negroes
who work at the railroad station have rot
been seen since yesterday afternoon. The
people are preparing to defend their homes.
Thus far no tror Sle is known Of, 1t is i'm
possible to say whether Just ground is eS-
iSting for the excitement. Southampton
county was the scene years before the war
OF q bloody slave insurrection. 1t is not
improbable that the traditions Of that time
have something to do with the prevailing
apprehensions.
