Last week mention was made in these columns that at St. David's Mo Rae Bros, had resumed sinking on the large artesian well commenced last spring. At the end of q weeks work Wednesday evening a week ago, a strong flow of water was struck at a depth of 260 feet. The flow is said to be three times as great as that from the test well, which is 10000 gallons every twenty-four hours. That would give the new well daily flow of 1881 cubic sufficient to irrigate q large area of land.

THE LEADER ARRESTED.
w. J. Ke,so Said to Have Presided at
 the Meeting at the Old Mil.

Eighteen arrests of parties alleged to have been implicated in the Pratt mines shooting Monday afternoon were made by deputy sheriffs yesterday. The total now in jail on that charge numbers an even lO0 and there are warrants out for probably fifty more.
 The following were arrested yesterday:
 White-John Cicerone, w. J. Kelso, John Forbes, Bob Donaldson, Henry Rey- holds, James Brown, Charlie Barlow. Hugh Murphy, J. M. Brock.
 Colored-General Harrison, William Cox, Dave Harrison, Tom Miles, Charles Cain, Lewis Murphy, Silas Brooks, An drew McGee and Henry Banks.
 THE LEADER.
 W. J. Kelso, one of the men arrested Wednesday night, is said to have been the leader of the mob who fired upon the negro miners and the guards at Pratt mines Mon day afternoon. The county officials say they have evidence which will convict him without any doubt.
 They have it from men who attended the meeting at the old mill, some two or three miles from slope 8, where the first battle took place, that Keso presided and made very bitter speech against those who saw fit to oppose the strikers and also against those miners who had taken their places. It is said that he advocated an attack upon the negro miners and that after his speech a vote was taken by which it was agreed that those present should drive the negroes from the mines, by force if necessary.
 The officials claim that they have posi- tive evidence against nearly all of those now in jail and that their conviction is certain.
 REMAINED AT ADGER.
 The Jefferson Volunteers, who went to Adger Wednesday afternoon to prevent any probable trouble, did not return to Birmingham yesterday morning and will probably remain at that place for two or three days if Lieutenant Warren, who is in command, deems it necessary.
 SOLDIERS AT THE MINES.
 Nothing transpired about the mines yes- terday to mar the peace aud the only inci- dents of any consequence were few spo- radio shots fired by sentinels at suspicious characters who refused to halt when com mauded to do so.

CAPTAIN JOHNSTON
Al HOME FOR A DAY AND OFF TO THE
 WAR AGAIN-IN MORGAN TO-DAY.

Al HOME FOR A DAY AND OFF TO THE
 WAR AGAIN-IN MORGAN TO-DAY.
 Capt. Joseph F. Johnston came in yes- terday from the Tennessee valley, where he has been canvassing Franklin, Colbert, Lawrence and Lauderdale. He says the people are coming out to hear the speak ings and the Kolb men are the most eager of all to hear. The Skaggs order to stay away has had the opposite effect. Indeed, so many Kolb men are coming to the dem- ocratic meetings that the Kolb speakers are attending them, too, in order to get before their own side. That is one of the best signs. Captain Johnston thinks that in the four counties named the democrats will gain nearly thousand votes.
 At tSpring Valley, in Colbert, he had a debate with MT. Goodwyn. Colonel Hib- bard led off, Mir. Goodwyp followed and he closed, each having an hour. 1t was a democratic meeting, but Kolb crowd. The next day at big barbecue at Chero- kee MT. Goodv yn refused to speak at all unless Captain Johnston spoke first. hay ing had enough of the otber arrangement.
 Captain Johnston only remained at home day and went up to Morgan county last night, where he speaks at Valhermosa to- day. He is looking splendidly and enjoy ing the work. Everywhere he goes the local papers report him as doing the best work of the campaign.
 When in Blount last week Captain John- ston mst~Mr. Gather on the stump, and Gather said some things about the cap- tain and told the people why he himself had quit the party. He used to just shut his eyes and swallow any old worm the democratic party put in his mouth.
 When Captain Johnston came to reply, he told the people he had been wondering what was the matter with Gather, and he had just found out. Gather had been swallowing worms and some of them had stayed in him. What he needed was a dose of good democratic vermifuge.

Whipped by Kolb White Cappers
 in Calhoun.
ORGANIZED AN OATES CLUB
Horrible Ire atment of a Negro for Exercising His Right to
 Be a Democrat.

Jack Brownlee, colored, says the Annis ton Hot Blast, who lived on farm of Mir. Lil B. Miller of Oxford, in the lower edge of the county, has been horribly beaten and driven from his home.
 The outrage occurred a few nights since and the perpetrators are believed to have been Kolbites, who are pretty thick in that community.
 The circumstances of the whipping and the incidents which led up to it are these:
 Some time since Brownlee, who is a democrat, had Sam Conner, a white Koib- ite, arrested for an assault upon his daughter. Conner was taken before jus tice of the peace, where he plead guilty to the charge and was fined $25.
 short while after this the news was cir culated around that meeting of negroes would be held for the purpose of organiz- ing Kolb club. Brownlee was on hand and made a speech, in consequence of which only two negroes joined the Kolb club. Brownlee then set about forming an Oates club among the negroes, which he did with good list of members.
 It was only few nights after this that the beating occurred.
 Brownlee was called to his door one night by a crowd of men who said they had lost their way and wanted him to show them the road. He gave them directions, but they said they could not understand them, and asked him to come and show them the way. This he declined to do and shut the door and locked it. The mob then sur rounded the house, shooting into it and raising cain generally. Both front and back doors were battered down and the negro caught. The crowd, which num- bered some thirty or forty disguised men, then took him out into the yard and pro- ceeded to administer an awful whipping with whips and withes.
 Each man struck five lashes aud the whipping was punctuated with such re- marks as: 'You had Sam Conner arrested, |, did you? "Do you think you want to break up any more Kolb meetings. ' "Oh, you are great hand to organize Oates clubs, ain't you?'' etc.
 After the mob had whipped him to their hearts content they let him go and told him that If he stayed in the neighbor- hood he would be more severely dealt with.
 The negro did not recognize any of his assailants or if he did he was afraid to say so.
 He has since left the county.

Parents and School.

Last Monday the school year open.
ed in Blackfoot The opening was
auspicious and the attendance large.
To many pupils this will be an i'm
portant year With some IT may be
their last year in the school room. To
some il may be the turning point in
life.
The board of trustees believe they
have given the school a good corps
Of teachers, but the best teachers who
live are not omniscient. they do not
know everything in the school room
and out of the school room.
The better the teacher the more
anxious he is about his work and to
understand the temperament of his
pupils; and here is where a duty of
the parent comes in. He ought to
consult with the teacher and help the
school work; he ought TO visit it for
his chil1's sake and the teachers sake.
He ought TO see its workings and
know for himself.
Parents ought TO manifest an inter
est in their children's training by
watching them closely while at school
II trouble comes up between teachers
and pupils word of information or
a suggestion from a parent may re-
lieye it before it grows serious. All
the parents of Blackfoot should make
the acquaintance of the teachers Of
their children and inform themselves
of the conditions under which they
are to be placed this year. With an
earnest cooperation OF trustees, pa
rents and teachers much good can be
done this scholastic year and children
advanced in their studies in a way
beneficial to them and pleasing to all
interested Parents turn over new
leaf and for the year resolve to visit
the school regularly.
