A BLOODLESS DUEL.
Two Men shoot at Each Other from
Behind Trees.

Two Men shoot at Each Other from
Behind Trees.
ALBANY, Ga, April 10. "A bloodless
duel was fought here on the eastern
banks of the Flint river, just on the op-
posite side of the city. Two large white
oaks acted as seconds for the principals,
each one hiding behind one of these OBJ
stacles and firing at his antagonist from
ambush.
The participants were Bob Palmer
and John Holley, who have been CO.
laborers on the steamer City of Albany
that plies the flint between here and
Bainbridge The boat has been here
for several days loading for trip down
the river, and these parties became in
volved in difficulty in which Holley
sustained black eye.
Not satisfied with this he went off
and armed himself with pistol, and
returning to the boat notified Palmer
that he was ready to settle their diff
Guilty on the field Of honor.
Without any preparations they jump
ed into small boat, padding to the
opposite side of the river, and entered
the woods.
Palmer was armed with Winchester
rifle and Holley with pistol, Taking
their position behind two trees, about
one hundred feet apart, they opened
FIRE on each other. Thirteen shots were
fired.
Failing to kill each other the parties
gave up and returned to their accus-
toned quarters.

u. S Court Notes.

Witnesses attending U. s. court
are allowed $3.50 per day witness
fees. At this term Of court a few
days payments exhausted the money
in the hands of the U. s Marshal
and the witness tickets have been
bought up at discount of 20 per
cent. The witnesses are mostly poor
men and compelled to sell their ticket
to get money. The attention OF the
court was called to this matter and
he called the Marshal.s attention to
the hardship it is for the witness to
only get 80 cents on the dollar and
we leand his explanation is that he
can not get any more money until
be makes a settlement as the treasus
ry department has advanced all that
it can advance to the Marshal under
his bond. Since the courts attention
has been called to this witnesses can
now sell their tickets at 80 cents on
a dollar. This imposition on poor
men should be stopped and provis>
IONS made to pay them when the
money Is in the treasury TO do it
with.

The boilers who left the Decatur
Republican District Convention,
propose to hold Tor this county mass
meeting April 23rd at place called
Hatton; 10 or y miles south west o.
Courtland. This meeting is called
to elect delegates to the District and
State Conventions.
This scarcely ever heard of place
out Of the way and difficult to reach,
was selected to throw off the colored
votes, as none or very few colored
people live within many miles Of it.
The regularly elected authori-
ties. STEPHEN W. White and R. T.
Burte have called convention to
meet at Courtland. April 23rd, for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the State Convention. This will be
the only legal convention.

He Don't Want the Job for the Demo-
cratic Party Again.
WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Brice
of Ohio, chairman of the National Dem
ocratic committee, announced that he
had decided not to accept reelection
to the Craftsmanship if the committee to
be appointed at the Chicago convention
should give it to him. Chairman Brice,
it is understood, is not Cleveland man,
aud would ra her not conduct another
Cleveland campaign, and Cleveland, it
is understood, would rather he should
not do so. Senator German, who man
aged the first Cleyeland campaign, 80
far as the chairman of the national
committee had anything to say about it,
is naturally talked of as chairman again,
but it is said he would not take it, and
that it is not unlikely that ex-Secretary
Whitney may be Brice's successor.
William F. Harrity of Pennsylvania, is
also mentioned.

Hurrah f,r Austin for Congress
The floods have been booming.
We have seen strange things to-
,, day, Mr., and Mrs. j. H. Kelley has
son one month old with a mouth
full of teeth.
Our clever Prof. Y. A. Wallace
seems restless and sleepless since his
return from Huntsville.
We are told that the late Republi-
can county mass convention was
failure and certain parties have
called another to meet here April 9th
to do such things as they think prop
er. The proper thing to do will be
to endorse Austin for congress and
the work of the Decatur convention
and adjourn. Prof. S. 7. Austin
will use the sledge hammer, clinch
each nail for Dick Austin, who will
call the roll in November.
Our last school enumeration for
this city showed more than 900 chill
dren of school age here. For their
accommodation we have only city
school with one room, principal
and no assistant. How can these
children be educated? The people
of the 9th ward are greatly stirred
up over the matter and will petition
those in authority for proper school
accommodation for their children.
We, the people here, rested con-
tented in the belief that their selec-
ted delegates faithfully represented
them at the recent Republican Dis
trict convention at Decatur. 1t
seems however that something is
rotten in Denmark" We will graft
the old vine, pluck out the tare and
see that the peoples wishes are res
pected, when we get better organi.
zation. Rev. F. H. Goodman speaks
boldly from the pulpit that we should
be on our guard and keep abreast OF
the times. Better organization,
more self-government, better educa-
ton and pure religion and morals
are what is needed. All say amen to
the pulpit orator on these points.
We hope to see in the near future
much greater interes taken by our
best men and educators in the well
fare of the masses or our people. Es
pecially in this needed here in Flor
ence. Our people are in the dark.
and need to be enlightened and ava
kened to a sense of their duties and
responsibilities. They must be taught
self reliance, and not to defend and
look too much to others. Help

HISTORICAL. COMMITTEES.
Meeting Held Today and ResOlu-
tiOn AdOpted.

The historical committee charged with
the duty of collecting and preparing
material to be presented at the Cen
tennial gathering of the people of Bun
combe county at Asheville on the 18th
OF August next. met this morning in the
office of the chairman Of the committee,
F. A. Sondley, esq, and discussed infor-
mally tue matters, the subject of their
duty. 1t appeared that a large body Of
valuable data had been collected aud
much of oral fact and tradition not yet
reducted to writing. The proper dispo-
sition of the matter on hand and yet to
be collected, it is proposed to defer to
subsequent action. For present and inn
mediate purpose, the following resolu-
tion introduced by Theodore F. David
son, esq.,, and unanimously adopted, will
give ample explanation:
Resolved. That the historical matter
relating to the county of BuncOmbe be
committed to +. A. Sondley and John D..
Cameron, esq, with request that they
hhS III SuNli iOi III 90 ~
their judgment will make them most
available and secure their presentation;
and that they prepare and submit to the
general committee on the day OF the cen
tennial celebration report OF such mat
ter as in their opinion is most material
to the preparation of a history of the
county; and such other subjects as to
them may seem proper"
This was adopted
1t is fair presumption that in the hands
or archives of many families there are
letters, memoranda or papers relating to
the early settlement, early adventures,
early noted individuals or families con-
nected with the incidents of original set
tlcment, which will be of much interest
to the present and to postcrity. All who
have such valuable relics in their posses
sion will greatly enhance the value ei
the work in hand, and will confer a
great favor by communicating at Ashe-
vile by letter or in person with +. A.
Sondley or J. d Cameron, of the COM

Asheville and the hremen:
"Greensboro's fire laddics have all re-

Asheville people. Chief Powell and his
able corps of assistants were always on

boys good time, in which he succeeded
admirably. Three cheers for Asleville
