LITTLE Rock. Sept. 2O.-It was first reported
that tho race war In Calhoun county was due
to the dissatisfaction of the negroes with tho
new election law. but it now appears that
politics Ind nothing to do with the uprising.
During the past two weeks several negroes
have been taken from their cabins ut night
and severely foCced by White Caps. Charley
Jones was whipped about a week ago for de-
sertng his wits, n punishment which nll the
negroes endorsed. Several white men who
make living by trading with the negroes.
who outnumber the whites six to one. inctod
them against the people OF the county. and.
armed with guns and pistols. they immediate
ly went on the warpath.
For several days they roved about the coun-
try in lands. muttcring threats of the most
inccndiary nature Every white person they
met in the road thcy insulted and threatened
with bodily harm. Their conduct beca me un-
bcarnble. and the Sheriff. at the request OF tho
citizens OF Chumpagnoll township. sent Deputy
James to the negroes to reason with them.
and. II possible pacliy thein without resortine

As soon rs tho deputy and his posse arrived

the blacks opened fire on thcm. woundng
Deputy James in the leg. The fro was re-
turned. md four negroes were Killed. On tho
way TO Hampton on Saturday night the posse
was fred into from ambush. but no one was
injured. The whites returned the fire. and tho
blncks He'd in confusion at the first volley.
On Sunday afternoon the posse encountered

pedcd he blacks. who made their escape In
throughout the county that they had been at
tackled by 1000 white men. who were deter
mi ined to Kill every negro In the county.
On Monday the greatest excitement pre-
vailed in the southern part of the county.
Negroes loft their homes. taking only such
ciothin. rs they could carry in bundles. Tho
cotton fields were deserted and the farmers
became much alarmed over the prospect of not
being able to get their crops harvested. An
effort WIS made to allav the excitement and
induce the negroes to return to their homes.
They were told about the prevalence of the
cholera. and no matte in which direction they
were going they we're given to understand
they would certainly encounter the plague
by thrcnts and much persuasion many were
prevented from leaving the county. This
morning Gov. Handy telegraphed the Sheriff
for an official report Of tho condition Of affairs

A CROP of early lambs can often be
made very profitable.
CLOVER or millet makes good win
ter feed for the sheep.
Now IS the time to store up plenty OF
bedding for the sheep next winter.
EVEN poor farmer can give sheep a
trial IN small way and increase as ex-
perience and profit warrant.
PREPARE to give the sheep good care
in winter, as TO neglect them in winter
is very improbable thing to do.
IN commencing to feed sheep for any
purpose it is best to commence on a
small scale and gradually increase.
WHENEVER it is necessary TO feed
sheep any kind of grass or roughness
good feeding racks should be provided
IT is best to take up the lamb bucks
and put IN separate pasture and keep
them separate until after the breeding
season Is over.
GENERALLY spring lambs should Be
weaned, not later than the first of
August. Put the ewes N field out of
hearing Of the lambs

TAZ
SECTION OF ROOF.

Of each sheet at a right angle, making
a wing an inch high. Serve the right
side in the same way, only have it two
inches high and turn back half of it to
form an inverted V. After dipping
these in crude petroleum the first
course is begun at the right lower
corner of the roof. Each sheet is
Tapped half an inch over the one below
it and firmly held in place by two
shingle nails driven, not at the sides or
ends, but in the center of the sheet and
two inches apart, the nail heads being
puttied over. This gives the expansion
and contraction of the metal no chance
to cut off the nails nor make holes in
the roof, as it would do were they wide
apart No snow nor rain can enter,
and it will last indefinitely if kept
painted or oiled with crude oil. This
roof is recon mended for all farm build
ings.
Close behind the barn the stacks of
hay and corn fodder are built out of
sight from the house When the
provender in the barn is exhausted
stack is opened and entirely pitched
under cover, SO no part of it is dam
aged by storms. If stack should be
too large to admit of this the portion
left out is fed first. A perspective
view of this barn is seen in Fig. 1 and
a cross section of the finished roof is
shown in Fig. IS HOLSTER, in Amer.
