EDITORS BULLETIN-The unS
pleasantness which has sprung up
among our democratic brethren in
Hardeman is a subject of much
regret to the loyal and true members
of the party, The Executive Com
mittee in her wisdom thought best
to call a primary. can see no
reason why the committee should
not give the people primaries, when
large majority of them speak out
IN bold terms in favor of primaries,
and have wanted them for the past
two years. The nearer the methods
of choosing candidates for the pub
lie service are brought to the people
the purer will be our. politics, the
more loyal our commonwealth and
the more satisfactory our govern
ment. When a majority of the
democratic party speaks, the public
Will is expressed; when a few speak
the will of a few is expressed.
When the masses are shut out a
few individuals usually control, If
we would have liberty, we must
give to every citizen an opportunity
to take part IN selecting the men
who shall fill our offices and admin
lister government. Let the people
be their own masters and say what
they want and rot the slaves of
others. Think for yourselves and
act for yourselves. In primary,
none but good democrats and loyal
men can be selected. | believe the
democratic ticket will be elected by
large majority in this county in
August, /. III.

4 RIOT NEAR GREENWOOD.
Whites and Blacks Fighting in the Public
Road about the Right of Way-Several
Injured OH Both Sides--One Negro
Shot.
Especial to the News and Courier.

Especial to the News and Courier
GREENWOOD, February IA fight
between a number of young white
men and crowd Of negroes occurred
near Mount Moriah Church, about four
miles from this place, late last evening:
James Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and
John Burnet, white, received stabs and
slight bruises, from which they will
soon recover if proper attention is gwen
them.
As to the cause of the row have
been able to learn but little. 1t appears
that the young men named above with
others were Oh their way to the house
Of Nathaniel Anderson to attend a
marriage, when they met q party OF
negroes In a wagon. The driver OF the
wagon refused to turn aside or give
any part of the road, and when as ked
by the young men to give the road Sc
that they could pass without damage
he replied in most insulting and abu-
sive language. This was u little more
than the white men were disposed to
stand, and halt having been made
one of thom gave the negro a smart
cut with his whip. y general fight
ensued.
As soon as the fight began the negro
women who were in the wagon com
menced to scream and yell for help. The
place is thickly settled with negroes,
and in few minutes q large crowd had
collected around with all kinds OF
weapons, which they freely used to the
I;s.o,nfi tnrp and iniurV of the white
men. The negroes were finally fright
ened off by other white men who came
up armed with pistols. 1t is said that
one negro was. shot while running

AT LAST ADOPTED.
The Long-Lool< ed For Rules in the House
Receive Party Vote.

WAsHINGToS, Feb. l4.-Not more
than two dozen members were present
when the House met at II o'clock in
continuation of Thursdays session.
Mr.. Stewart, Of Georgia, and Mr..
Reilly, of Pennsylvania, entered EN-
phatic protests against the adoption of
the proposed code; and the action of
Speaker Reed was defended and upheld
BY Mr.. Raines of New York.
Mr.. Barnes, Of Georgia, spoke in op-
position to the new code. He argued
that the cry for the removal of the old
restrictions came from the. monopoly
and money power. It was said that
the school Of Jefferson was now being
regulated and the government would
in the future be under the control of
the school of Hamilton. This meant
that the government was no longer to
be 4 government of the people, by the
people, but a government under the
control of wealth and an aristocracy OF
wealth. This class controlling the
wealth of the country-the treasury
always filled and overfowing from
heavy taxation on the people would
become the subject Of public plunder.
Mr.. Kelley, of Kansas, defended the
speaker and the proposed code, and
Mr.. Pendleton, Of West Virginia, at
tackled both.
Thursdays session then ended, and
the session of Friday was opened with
the reading Of the journal. The jour
nal was approved-yeas, Isl; nays, j

The daily papers the past week have
been filled with horrible homicides
committed throughout the State. y
white man is killed in Chester, negro
in Union and another in Newberry. a
white man kills his wife in Charleston
and mortally wounds her uncle, while
little boy in Columbia attempts to
butcher a school-mate but is pre-
vented in the act of giving the finish
ing blows. He had the head of his vic
tim under his arm and had inflicted
ten or twelve cuts il the head, face and
back.
1t is fearful to contemplate this MUIR
derous spirit. Human life seems to be
very cheap. There should be stricter
enforcement Of the law against muir
der. It seems that q man no more
minds shooting down his fellow man
than he does a dog. There must be an
end to this somewhere.

Dick Hawes' Confession Differ.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Feb. 16.-Last
night Dick Halves wrote two letters
one to Miss May Story, the young lady
whom he married in Columbus, and
the other to Ed. Weaver of Marion,
Indiana. He gave them unstamped to
Deputy Gus Ellard, who turned them
over to Sheriff Smith, and he opened
them. Both said when the letter was
received the writer would be dead,
which plainly meant that Hawes in
tended to commit suicide. The letter
to Miss Story said his late confession,
in which lie claimed that be paid John
Wylie to Kill his wife and Irene was
false. He did it to get even with Nylle,
who htd ouce, while both were in Jail
here, betrayed a plot Hawes and the
other prisoners had on foot to escape.
Some days ago Hawes made con-
fession to Deputy Dave Smith, on the
latter's promise to tell nothing till he
had been dead three days. In that
confession Hawes said he paid Wylie
and Fannie Bryant to kill Mrs. Halves
and little Irene. He had intended to
keep May, but on finding she knew
about the murder of her mother and
sister, he took her out to East Lake
and smothered her, and then put her
body in the lake.

Not a Candidate on 1.-The Negro Question"
1Greenville Daily News

ABBEvILLE, 5. c., Feb. 13.-Two
weeks ago it was announced editorially
in the Augusta Chronicle that | was
going to make the race for Congress in
the Third Congressional District on
the so-called "Negro Question:" My
GOOD friend Mr.. Walsh was misin-
formed. The statement is a mistake:
There is 10 such issue in the Third
District; and so far as am concerned,
there will be no such issue. I shall be

important issues.
As the Chronicles mistake has been
