A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY IN ALBEMARLE.
Following is special telegram to the

A fatal shooting ARRAY occurred this
morning about II O'Clock near Warren,
about five miles west of this place, in which
Col. John s. Coles, a prominent farmer in
this locality, lost his life.
The following particulars were given by
Mr.. John Alexander, who was present and
witnessed the affair: In the neighborhood
of Col. Coles farm lived young English
man named Morgan, between whom and
Coles bad feeling had existed for some
time. Coles had frequently forbidden Nor
gan to pass through his farm, to which or
der Morgan paid no heed. This morning
Morgan, in company with Mr.. John Alex
ander, on his way, it ia thought, to Scott.
sville, was passing along the road through
Coles place when they were met by Coles,
who spoke to Morgan, it is said, in harsh
tones, to which Morgan replied in like man
ner After abusing each other for some
time Morgan jerked switch from Coles
hand and struck him blow; wbereupon
Coles drew pistol AID fred at Morgan,
who Immediately drew his pistol and re-
turned the fire. The ball struck Coles over
the left eye, killing him instantly.
Morgan fled at once, going towards North
Garden, and is being hotly pursued by the
sheriff aud bis posse A great many people
here cannot believe but that Coles acted in
self. defense, as he was known to be peace
able citizen, and Morgan has bad reputa-
ton.

Deafness Can't be Cnred

by local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition of the mu
Gus lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube gets inflamed You have rumb.
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, deafness is the result,
and unless the inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to it's normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forev-
ever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucus surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any

The Georgia Legislature has recently
passed a law making the birthday of Gen
eral Robert E. Lee holiday in that State.
This is step that would per haps have
been taken long ago, but for the desire to
avoid anything like antagonism to the war
sentiment of the North. Thu time has
come now, however, when the South can
speak without fear of such aspersion, and
as Virginia newspaper we ask that the
great hero's native State be not found too
far in the near of the movement to do honor
to his memory. 1t only needs some one to
introduce bill in the next Legislature to
have it passed with readiness which the
people are eager to confirm. --Norfolk

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN CALIFORNIA
A telegram from San Francisco dated Aug
26, says that the town of Port Costa, on the
Carwuinez straits, which is great grain
centre of California, was the scene of de-
structive fire, involving total loss of about
100000 The fire originated in ware
house No. 2, wooden building 1900 feet
long, owned by G.. W. McNear & Co. The
warehouse contained about 1000 tons of
grain Within two hours the buildings
and contents were total loss, and the fire
had in the meantime communicated to the
wharves and shipping alongside. The
Am :ricau wooden ship Armenia ana the
British wooden ship Honowaur, both par
TALLY loaded with wheat were burned to
the waters edge. The rigging of the Bri-
tisn ship Kenilworth caught fire, but before
any serious damage occurred to the hull
she was towed into the stream and her hold
flooded She had cargo of 5000 tons of
wheat on board, which will probably prove
nearly total loss.

CoIored Ohio Citizens Aroused.

Leading colored citizens of Lucas,
Greene, Cuyahogs, Butler, Franklin,
Hamilton, Clarke. Montgomery and Della
ware counties, Ohio, have issued call fol
State convention of colored voters OF
Ohio, to be held in Toledo on September
10 and II, to consider the political situa-
ton. The signers say: "We believe that
it is expedient to call convention of our
race to consider the many political griev-
ances that now hinder our political pro
gress and welfare. Also to consider the
denials of recognition in the townships and
municipal government OF the State, and
fragrant and outrageous determinations
that have been practiced in the last four
years in the State government against our
race; in the public institutions controlled
and managed by the present administra-
ton, of which Governor Foraker is its
head. The political barriers, difficulties
and problems that stand in our way" the
address continues, ''can never be solved
successfully by our race until parties are
brought to know the uncertainty of where
and how the negro will cast his ballot. In
other words it is our duty to divide under
the present eXigencies of the times, and
vote together when circumstances demand.
The attitude of parties in Ohio at the pres
emf, and especially in the coming cam.
paign, demands serious consideration of
our political status. We therefore earn
estly request this meeting and convention
to consider the above questions. First,
what representation have we received in
this State for our slavish adherence to
partyf What county in the grand COM
of Ohio is there colored man
holding county Office, or colored lady
holding position In the same in the State?
Second, there is not single colored man
in the State (for the $4,000 votes that we
control) who has received in the last four
years a first class appointment under the
present administration, and the Hon. Ora
ham Deuwell, who held small Office, was
kicked out by Gov. Foraker like dog
without even giving him as much as an in.
vestigation. Third, what benefit have
colored men received from the non-partisan
police board? The results are too well
known for comment. Fourth, the school
question, and the fight made at Oxford,
Chat strong republican bailiwick,) Fe-
licity, Xenia, Gallipolis and various other
towns in the State, trying to debar our
children the right of being educated in the
schools according to law. Fifth, the pro-
posed amendment to the constitution of
Ohio is one of the most treacherous schemes
ever concocted to rob us of our representa-
tive rights. These are some of the ques-
lions that We must solve at the coming
