4 Race War,

JACKSON, Tenn, September 1O.-A
race war has broken out in the 10th
district of this county which may lead
to blOodshed. Negroes for some time
have been cutting the wire fences
around the pasture of J. R. Young, a
planter. Young threatened them,
and about two, weeks ago four or
five negroes drew their guns on him.
Young had them arrested and they
were placed under bond. Last night
q mob of nearly fifty negroes at late
4 our went to the residence of Young
and fired forty or fifty shots into the
house. Believing they had killed the
family they began shooting the hogs
and cattle. Fortunately none OF the
shots hit Young or his family. 1t is
learned that Young has secured a
nOsse of friends, and that if they
meet resistance they are going to
exterminate the negroes from the
community. Serious trouble is feared.

a steady-going carriage horse, and
though he was known to be remark

opening feed bins, the full degree of
his talent was rot disclosed until the
recent storm. Finding that his
shoes were too smooth for comfort
during a slippery trip, he pushed the
barn door open and started or a

Once in the shop he stood back and
waited his turn as decorOusly as
though "going-a-shOping" on his own

putting on new set. The animal
showed unmistakable signs of ap-

finished trotted out and made his way
home, perfectly contented.

In a recent editorial in The New
York Tribune occurs the following:
"Many people fancy, because Gov.
Hill carried New York when Presi-
dent Cleveland was defeated, that a
plurality of the voters in the State
would support him again. Butin that
contest, as people here well know,
Hill succeeded only because he was
able to sell a Presidency tor a Cover
norship. If he ever puts himself
where the other people have a chance
TO Ito the selling, he will get a measure
OF his popularity"
We would like to know what the
Tribune means by this. 1t charges
Hill with selling the Presidency.
Then IT must admit that the Republic
cans did the buying.

DEPARTMENT OF II INTERIOR,

Washington, ID. c., Jan. Is, 1890.
Editor Democrat-Star
Dear Sir: A circuIar letter inclo-
ing two schedules similar to those
now forwarded for your mformltion,
has this day been sent to the Treasurer
Of your county, with a request that
they may be placed in the hands of
the proper officers for favor of COM
pletiOn and return at the earliest pos
siblc moment. The inquiry, as you
will see, covers a period of ten years.
In order that the returns of the
Eleventh Census may be complete and
practically useful, the statistics called
for are absolutely necessary. Much
painstaking clerical labor and research
must be performed in order TO collect
and enter the facts and figures re-
CURED.
Will you kindly make such mention
of the matter in yonr next issue, OF
whenever convenient during the com
ing week, as shall impress upon those
in authority including the financial
officer or officers concerned, the neces-
sity for immediate and efficient action
in the matter ? These gentlemen
have already shown great courtesy
and done much in many ways to ia
~cilitatc The progress of census investi-
cations. AS servants of The county
residents, they will, by making a spe-
cial effort now in behalf Of the Census
Office, gain for your county a credita-
able showing, as IL deserves. If they
neglect the opportunity, or place OBJ
stacles in the way, the record will, as
a matter of course, be imperfect and
contrast unfavorably with that Of 9TH
CT counties.
A return envelope and label are I'M
closed, the latter being intended for a
copy of the issue in which the notice
appears, if you ARE to insert a few
words as suggested. Please write in
ANY case. Whatever steps you take
10 further the work of this office will
he fully appreciated and promptly
acknowledged. Very respectfully,
