NEGROES RUN A COUNTY.
Serious Trouble Threatened in Arkan-
sas-White Men Ordered Away

Memphis, Tenn, July 12.-1n
Crittenden county, Arkansas, oppo-
site here, the blacks outnumber the
whites five to one and the legal af-
fairs of Marion and every other
town within it's boundaries are pre-
sided over by negro officials. Out
of twenty magistrates there are only
two whites. The chairman, clerk
and Judge of the county court are
all negroes and even the representa-
tive is q colored man. For several
years there has been much bad feel
ing between the two races, the
whites charging the majority of the
black office holders with outrages
upon the laws, etc. Last year judge
W. D. Lewis, the colored county
court Judge and David Furgeson,
his clerk, were indicted for habitual
drunkenness. Their trial will take
place in a few days and threatened
trouble is the oatgrowth. The pres
ent grand jury is composed of white
men aud fuel has been added to the
flame by the report that they intend
ed to investigate the official career
of number of colored men besides
those mentioned.
It is claimed that five days ago a
half dozen prominent people were
notified through their colored ser
wants that their lives were in danger,
as the negroes were determined to
drive the white people out of the
county or kill them. This warning
was supplemented by anonymous
notes, which were sent to various
white people through the postofice
at Marion, giving them five days in
which to leave under penalty of
death. One of these missives was
received by the sheriff of the county,
a white republican. The white peo-
pie have, therefore, prepared and
governor Hughes has been notified
of the state of affairs, and seventy
five Winchester rifles We're sent over
from this city. A conflict is likely
to occur at any time, when it is fear
ed that many lives will be taken.

card had been sent to the dead let
ter Office and was returned to the
postmaster to deliver to the sender.
Accompanying the card was
letter stating that as the date of the
postal card was SO close to the date
when the order was issued by the
postmaster general prohibiting duns
from being sent through the mails, it
could be excused this time. The
authorities wanted it distinctly un-
derstood, however, that the act
relating to the sending of duns and
matter calculated to bring the person
addressed into ridicule would be
strictly enforced. The act relates
particularly to collection agencies
which haye been in the habit of send

postal card and of sending envelopes
containing the words bad Debts"
