There is a steady concentration OF the
eolored people upon the borders OF the
gulf Of Mexico. Their numbers are in
creasing in n greater relative ratio than
the whites. But there are fewer Of them
in Kentucky, Virginia, and North Caro-
lima than formerly, and more in the states
farther south. The whites in these more
southern regions are leaving for the west
and north, so that in cours OF time, we
shall have communities on the north
shore of the gulf OF Mexico, all, or nearly
all the members OF which will be colored

OF Navarro county. on a charge OF

in the evening, and entered without
drawing their arms. not expecting to
encounter resistance. but they had not
gone hey ond the sill before three Of the
inmates opened fire. Jesse Bonner and
one Of the two unknown men had re.
volveIs. and the other a double
barrelled shotgun. The officers drew
their Tevolvers. at which Bonner seized
Duncan's pistol-hand with his left

time levelling his weapon at Dun

went out, but the shooting went on
in the darkness, both sides taking aim
by the flashes from their opponents
weapons. Duncan, before rising, shot
one OF the unknown men who stood
over him, and in the course Of the battle
a woman yelled, " Ny child is killed.
Oh, my child" The firing did not
cease until the last round Of ammuni-
ton was exhausted and the crowd re-
treated. Neither Duncan nor Deputy
Sheriff Seely could tell what the result
of the fight was, as, being without am
munition, they deemed it best to make
their escape as rapidly as possible.
Sheriff Smith started for the scene OF
the fight last night to investigate the
matter, but has not returned.
