A Village OF Several thousand Persons
That crew Up Out of Il Mistake Tho
People to lie Evicted
RALEIGH, n. c., March 11-News
reaches here that great excitement pre-
walls at James City, a negro village of
several thousand inhabitants, near
New Berne, in Craven county, growing.
out of an attempt by the owner of land
to have the negroes evicted. Bloodshed
is expected 1t seems that in 1868 a
man calling himself Gen. James," and
purporting to be federal general, re-
moved number of negro families from
near New Berne to the point, now
James City, which is across Trent river
from New Berne. James told them the
land belonged to the government.
They, put up rude cabins and
made themselves thoroughly at home,
believing the land had been given them
by the United States government.
Other negroes soon entered the place,
and before many days had passed quite
a large settlement had gathered. The
truth is, however, that James was no
general, and that he had no authority
to give the land away. Peace reigned
and the negroes became content with
their new homes. They named the viii
lare after their benefactor, James City
They drew up system of government,
elected aldermen and policemen, and
the pOpu alton increased rapidly. 1t is
reported that the widest excitement
prevails over the attempt to evict them,
and that the negroes threaten to attack
the city of New Berne.
