THE DANVILLE EXCURSION
SEVERAL ROWS OCCURRED ON
THE TRAIN.
One Negroes Leg Cut OFF at ReidsvilIe
-Danvilie Policemen Summon
ed-Court Proceedings.

From Daily Sentinel Aug. 14.l
The colored excursioDists came in
from Danville about 1870 Monday
night. AS usual, there were several
rows on the train-but no "raZ0rs were
flying in the air.
At Reidsyille yesterday morning
three negroes, in attempting to beard
the train, had very close call. One
Of the number had his leg so badly
crushed as to neceSsitate amputatiCn.
The other two were painfully hurt
about their heads.
The Danville Star has this to say:
The colored excursion which came
here from Winston, was met by Chief
of-Police Williams and a squad Of Off
GERS. There was a negro man from
Greensboro by the name of Fred
Johnson on the train who became very
bOisterous and when Capt. L. L. Roy
all, who was in charge of the train.
arrived at Ruffin he stopped to put off
johnson. The crowd congregated and
said he should not be put off and
serious difficulty seemed imminent.
The negro, however, was overpoweEed
and diSarmed and the train came on.
The conductor in the meantime tele-
graphed Chief Williams to meet the
train and arrest the rioter. He made
no resistance here and was soon land
ed in Jail and tonight he will be car
ried back 10 Ruffin where he created
the disturbance, for trial.

Weekly Crop Bulletin.

The report of correspondents of the
Weekly Weather Crop Bulletin, issued
by the North Carolina State Weather
Service, for the week ending Monday,
August 18th, 1894, indicate that as the
season advances the condition of crops
is becoming more diversified. Yet
the prospects continue very fine. In
the southern and eastern parts of the
State, where there has been too much
rain, the land is drying out nicely.
The week was generally very warm,
with one of the hottest days of sum-
mer on the 9th. Scattered showers
occurred chiefly in the east. Since
the beginning of the publication of
the Crop Bulletin in the spring of
1888 there have meyer been so few re-
ports of shedding of cotton-bolls.
Owing to generous rains in August
the condition of meadows is now on
the average very good, and the pros
poets for the fall crop are that it will
be larger than for the preceding year.
The yield of corn-fodder will be large,
and very large crop of f1eld-peas has
been sown for cutting in fall. Hay is
rot one of the principal crops of North
Carolina, but 1t is probable that less
than usual will be brought in from
other States this year.

CoLoRED EXCURSIONS.
The Winston Manufacturers Propose
Stopping Them.

The Winston Manufacturers Propose
Stopping Them.
''Eat, drink and be merry today for
tomorrow we may die"
This appears to be the motto of
many of Winston's colored population.
They are always ready and waiting to
60 on every excursion that leaves
town. The thought of tomorrow and
what it may bring forth is not once
considered when they hear brass
band playing for trip on the rail-
road
Regardless of the hard times as
many excursions (if not more) have
left Winston this year as during any
former summer season. One pulled
out for Danville this morDing-and it
was well patronized.
1t is estimated that every excursion
carries from $500 to $500 away from
town. Every dollar. too, is spent by
those who possess very little of this
worlds goods. They need every cent
for the present-to say nothing of
winter.
THE SENTINEL is informed that the
tobacco manufacturers propose taking
steps at once to put stop to this
Excursion business They will do
this for the benefit of their employees,
many of whom do not know the value
of a dollar.
The indications are that the facto-
ries will close early this fall. This
means that hundreds of colored peo-
pie (excursionists) will be thrown out
of employment. Every time an eXcur-
sion leaves town several factories nee
essarily have to close one or more de-
partments. This does not affect the
manufacturers as much as it does the
men and women who depend on them
for a living.
The plan in view, and which will be
adopted by the tobacco men, is not to
pay off on any Saturday when an ex-
cursion is billed to leave on the Mon
day following. They will make set
Element, however, after the train
leaves.
Parties who have trains chartered,
or who anticipate running excursions
from Winston hereafter will do so at
a great risk, as the tobacco men pro-
pose to carry into effect the plan above
referred to

the young men were just as gallant

Piles took part in the german. Among
the visiting young ladies were repre-
