EXCITEMENT IN STEWART COUNTY

AN ATTEMPT TO CAPTURE A NEGRO
BRUTE LEADS TO A FlGHT-sEv-
ERAL KILLED.
Considerable excitement prevailed
in Stewart county last week on ac-
count of an expected riot between the
whites and blacks of that section.
The Columbus Enquirer Sun gives
the following account of the affair:
The people of the Weir ity of Pine
vile were put on notice some time ago
that a negro who had committed an
assault on white girl near Fort Val
ley was hiding somewhere in Stewart,
and IT, keep look out for him. His
name and his full description were sent
from the neighborhood where the
crime was committed. Accordingly
close watch was kept for the fiend,
and last Friday he was located in
the house of negro named Simon
Besrder, who is an uncle of the tugi-
tive. 1t was arranged by crowd of
about dozen young men to surround
the house of Bearder and capture the
negro whom he was harboring, The
plans to be executed Friday night
were in someway learned by the me-
groes, and quite number OF them
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1891-09-16

assembled at Bearder's house that
night, determined to prevent the cap,
ture OF the fugitive. Guards were
stationed around the negro's house and
when surrounded by the whites they
opened fire, which was returned by
the determined crowd. The shooting
was in the dark, and none of the
whites were wounded. Two negroes
We're reported killed, one of whom is
the one wanted for the assault. After
all the ammunition was shot away a
hand to hand fight ensued, resulting
in the flight of the negroes.
Last Saturday night on road
which passes through a dense swamp
near where Bearder lives, several
white people were shot at, it is thought,
by some of the negroes engaged in
the Friday nights fracus, and who
have sworn vengeance against the men
they believed to be among the crowd
Sunday night. As Massers Dave and
Robert ehippey, who reside IN that
community, we've returning home
they were shot at by three negroes
whom they had just passed on the
road side. Messrs. Shippey returned
the fire, and the negroes fed, the
Shippeys following. One of the me-
groes, Abb Robinson, was overtaken
and carried to Jail at Lumpkin, where
he is now awaiting trial. Neither
Hlessrs. Shippey or the negroes were
shot in this tracus, and it is thought
the negro captured will give those
playing the role of road assassins
away, and the whole gang will be ar,
rested.

STATE TAXATION TO Be INCREASED.

1t is very probable that the legisla-
ture will be forced to raise the state
rate of taxation this year. The in
crease is due to deficit of at least a
half million dollars.
The deficit has Ueen caused by the
following reasons: The widows pen
sions, increase in the public school
appropriations, and the findings of
the betterments commission.
The legislature last year agreed to
give to each widow Of an ex-Confed-
crate soldier an annual pension Of one
hundred dollars. 1t was thought at
the time this law was passed that the
number of Confederate widows would
be about six hundred, and that sixty
thousand dollars would pay the PEN
siohs. Already thirSyaseven hundred
widows have fled their application for
pensions and the number will proba-
bly, reach four thousand, which will
require the sum oftour hundred thou
sand dollars to pay these pensions.
The increase in the public school
fund is several hundred thousand dol
dollars.
The 5etterments commission de-
cided that the State should pay to the
lessees of the Western and Atlantic
railroad one hundred Thousand dol
lars for back taxes paid in Tennessee.
The tax>ridden people of Georgia
will, as usual. bear this increase With
out murmur. Some counties will
doubtless lower the rate of county
taxation so that the people of those
counties may not feel the increase in
the atate rate.
Terrell may be one of the counties
to adopt this plan.

HE'S STAMPED In THE FACE.
FRED CooPER's SAVAGE ATTACK ON
HON. M. i. EVERETT IN THE KIM,
BALL HOUSE BARROoM.

Hon. M. L. Everett, member of
the legislature from Stewart county,
was done up in a very brutal manner
in Atlanta, last Wednesday night, by
Fred Cooper, a brother of ex-mayor
Tyler Cooper, in the Kimball House
barroom. Cooper is now under bond
and Everett is in bed at his boarding
house.
The facts in the case, briefly stated,
are these: Shortly after $50 O'Clock
Everett entered the barroom with a
friend. The Hon. W. 7. Smith, with
whom Everett had had a war>Iike
correspondence about some legislative
matter once, was standing with some
friends at the counter. Everett was
staggering drunk then. He recog>
nized Smith, however. The two men
shook hands, and in course OF con-
versatlon referred good hdmoredly to
the settlement OF their differences.
Cooper was standing near and
heard what WIS said and addressed a
remark to Everett to which he (Evo
erett) replied. Cooper then retorted;
"Well, do you know what ! think
your"
mo said Everett, 81 don't even
know YOU"
"Well," replied Cooper, l think
you are fraud"
The bystanders interposed, hut
Cooper was persistent and kept talk
ing to Everett in a very offensive
manner. Cooper had stick in his
hand, and Capt. FORBES said to him,
Don't hit that man with that stick. g
"l'll hit you, said Cooper" "No, you
WON'T" said Capt. Forbes, quietly,
stepping towards Cooper. The bully
had no idea of fighting a man who
was near his equal, and instead of
replying to Forbes he laid his stick
upon the counter and again turned
towards Everett. A second later he
stepped up to Everett who was leans
ing against the counter as helpless as
baby, and struck him two or three
blows. Everett was utterly unable
TO defend himself and went down like
corpse, striking the marble floor
face upward.
Cooper then stamped him three
times in the face with the heel of his
heavy shoe. Several people seized
him then, while others picked up
Everett, bruised and bleeding and
almost insensible. Both were carried
to the station house. After the blood
was washed from his face and it was
ascertained that his injuries were not
serious Everett was carried to the
hotel.

THAT VILLAGE c0RRESP0EOEsT.

The Leary correspondent of the
Calhoun County Courier refuses to be
comforted, and is shedding crocodile
tears in his distress because THE News
will not this early spouse the cause
of any congressional aspirant, and
especially the cause of a prospective
candidate in whom the correspondent
IN question seems deeply interested.
In az ahortive effort to prove that
HE News has been partial in the
little that has been said in its columns
concerning the next congressman from
this district our village friend, the
Leary faber propeller says;
Now, as to whether you have or
have not suggested the name OF any
one for congress, let's see. We no not
keep file of THE NFws, probably
you do. Please refer to your issues
OF about a month ago, ana we predict
you will find where the names OF
Judge Query and others are men
TONED by you and not credited to any
exchange.
The item that appeared in THE
NEWS, and referred to in the above
extract, is as follows:
Among the gentlemen who have
already been suggested as worthy OF
congressional honors in the new sec.
ond district are Judge Query, OF
Dawson. Hons. X. G. Mitchell and
A. /. Mcintyre, of Townsville, and
j. M. Rushin, of Boston. They al
have enthusiastic admirers.
This paragraph, from The News Of
August 9th. speaks for itself. Their,
can be found in it no suggestion com,
ing from the editor of this paper
There is not a suggestion in tit il
merely statement of what had beer
dope by Others. Indeed, the mos
obtuse mind can readily see that it il
simple and impartial statement o
the names of gentlemen who had beer
suggested for congress by their differ
ent friends.
1t our rural friend, the Leary cor
respondent of the Calhoun Courier
hasn't mind enough to distinguish
simple statement of facts-a short item
of news from biased suggestion, b
is not capable OF grooming any one
no matter how worthy, tor congress
and the distinguished gentlemen 70
whose benefit he has thus early take
up the cudgel should ring him dow
Tor his owl good.
The News hopes that the Lear
correspondent Of the Calhoun Courio
will repent of his error and ack nowl
edge that he has been trying to prov
something on The NEWS of which i
has never been guilty.
The News has the highest respec
and greatest admiration for the gentle
man whom the Leary correspondent
of the Calhoun Courier is advocatia,
Tor congress. He is our friend, an
we will never do aught to proven
him from reaching the high position
which he is so well qualified to fill.
In closing this article THE New
desires to watt its most distinguishe
considerations to its friend, the Lear
correspondent of the Calhoun Courier
