CHARLOTTE, N. G., Feb. l4.-Trouble
has been threatened for the past few
days in Wayne county, and the local
military companies have been kept
ready for service.
Every year there is moro or less OF an
exodus Of negroes worked up by emil
grafton agents and this causes serious
trouble 10 the farmers who depend upon
the negroes toplck their cotton and do
farm work. This year the number Of
negroes leaving has been greater than
ever, and the farmers have decided 10
stand the agents no longer.
A telegram from Wayne county brings
the news that neatly all the white Citi.
zens are armed and fully determined To
stop the negro emigration. Two mill.
tary companies arc out in expectation OF
trouble. John r. Richardson, one Of the
largest OF Southern farmers, who has
been In tho county to employ negroes 10
20 to Tennessee, Louisiana and Missis-
sippi to work on his farms, has been
made to leave the county. Other agents
who have visited Wayne county in the
last three days have been compelled by
citizens 10 leave on tho first train.
AtGoldsboro 800 negroes, with their
families, who had sold all their house
hold goods, were gathered, waiting iOI
the agents TO furnish them passage,
They arc in such state now that II

WASHINGTON, D. o., Feb. 1.-THE
appropriations committee Of the House
grappled the revenue problem in earnest
this morning, With little opposition the
committee decided to consider the
oowles internal revenue bill, although
certain Democratic members took care to
explain that their consent given TO con-
slider the bill didn't bind them to vote
forit,
When the formal reading Of the meas
ure was completed the members began
to express their views and suggest alter
ations, The committee was obliged to
adjourn by reason OF the meeting OF the
House, leaving the bill pending. Just
what the result Of It's consideration will
be no member felt warranted In pre-.
dieting, beyond the statement that the
measure will surely be reported baCk to
the House In some form, 1t Is gathered
that the Democratic members OF the
committee are pretty widely divided in
regard to the policy they shall follow,
and that while the Republicans are not
entirely solid they are iu much better
shape than the other side. 1t seems
probable tho bill will eventually be re.
ported iavorably by tho committee, but
with important amendments striking out
