THE HATEIELD,s AND nc
COYS.

COxS.
Down in Kentucky two families.
respectively the Hatfields and Nc
Coys have heen fighting among
themselves for several years. Beth
families consider themselves as en-
titled to rank with tho chivalry ele-
ment.
There seems to be two classes of
chivalry people in the South. They
believe that all grievances should
be avenged in blood. The upper
chivs. cut the heart out Of you, and
the lower cllivs. the CUTS. As near
as we can learn, this Is the only
real method OF distinguishing the
two classes.
The families engaged in the long
and bloody feud appear to belong to
the lower chivs.
The trouble began over a law suit
in which two hogs were involved,
and scrub hogs at that. The man
who lost the suit considered that lie
must wipe out the insult in blood,
and so the ball opened. Then COM
menced q series of skulking, cow
ardly, bushwhacking skirmishes.
Each party lay in ambush for the
others, and shot each other in the
back. They crawlcd aud skulked
and bushwhacked for years, and in
no instance is it recorded that either
Of the families or any member
thereof, had the courage to meet
each other in open battle. Their
methods were of tho most barbar-
Gus. They burned each others
houses and barns and killed each
others stock.
One of the Hatfslds seduced one
of the Mccoy girls. This was con-
sidered particularly cunning work
IN the way of retaliation by the
neiehbors of the two families. Then
one party got the drop on the other
in the night, and dragging woman
cut Of bed, stripped her and hegged
her naked bsdy with the bloody end
of . cows tail for forty minutes.
They cut the tail off her pet COW as
. joke, and with cooked rifles COM
PEELED the husband and two sons Of

The other side then got back on
them by invading the premises of a
relative, and when young girl
came to the door in her night clothes
they asked her 70 build fire in the
room SO that the light would enable
them 10 see if any mon were inside.
She was unable to do this as rapidly
as they wanted it done, and so they
called her out again and shot her,
yelling and laughing as she lay dy-
ing and writhing on the ground.
Finding no men in the house they
beat her aged mothers head in with
a six-shooter and set fire to the
house.
They surprised old men and tiled
them to trees while they shot them

sertaiD; many seem to think that they
will hold back until the democratic
party has made its nominations then
endorse such as are regarded rs good
and where they are not 80 considered
make nominations of their own.
Others seem OF the opinion that q full
ticket should be named. In either
case will or should be members of the
party take part in the democratic
nominations OF this county. We be
iieye these should be made by those
who propose to support the nominees

ABOUT WACO.


While Colonel Giddings was absent
committee at Washington he made
briet visit to New \ ork on matter of
business which the Banner feels con-
tidert Is to be OF interest before great
while to the people of Breuham. In
the short interview had with him its
reporter did not learn the full na-
ture OF that business, but was
led to believe that the trip was
made in the interest of securing
the Waco and Br0zos Valley railway,
Colonel Giddlngs says the road will
undoubtedly be bu 1t through the
county; that the Waco people, in his
opinion, are mere figure heads, and
that the Santa Ee railway in reality is
At the back OF it, that i'll constructing
the road the aim will be TO secure the
lowest grade and most direct line to
the gulf, and that the road will pre-
badly pass between Brenham and
Chapptll Hill giving both the go-by,
unless the people of BRENNAN bes;ir
themselves actively and hold out big
inducements. Like Major Bryan,
Colonel Glddings believes that the
mouth Of the Brazos is destined TO be
the deep-water point, and he is con-
tident that Jay Gould is the leading
spirit in the pier scheme. One proof
OF this is that work on the Taylor and
Ba5trop road has reached the furthest
point to which it can be constructed
until the gulf point is determined,
aud that work has been suspended to
await the succe ssful experiment of
the pier scheme.-Brenham Banner.
