This morning badly spelled and writ
ten document was found posted on a
street corner, signed by d. d. Delton,

the document was intended as warn
ing to the white people OF the intention
of the negroes to have changed condi-
tion of affairs on November l, and max
ing the assertion that the change will
be such as people will not want to see
again,
1t says the white people have robbed
the negroes for six wears, and calculates
the amount at S11, 400, $50. They have
opposed the negro; that but forty cents
per hundred pounds has been paid for
picking cotton, which has kept the ne
groes so poor they could not leave.
A great many threats are made
against the white people generally, the
Democrats and especially the colored
Democrats. As this is negro hot bed,
