A Negro Cuts Shep Rushing, the Night

A
 Watchman.
 Demopolis, Oct 23-(Special Corre- spondence.) )-Some excitement was cre- ated on our streets last Saturday night over the cutting of Nightwatchman Shep Rushing by darkey named Frank Giles. Upon inquiry your correspondent learned the facts to be as follows: Rushing sold Giles a pistol with the understanding that all but 50 cents of the price (S2.5D was to be paid in wood. Giles hauled small load of inferior wood, which did not please Rushing at all, and meeting Giles on the streets last Saturday night told him that if he would bring the pistol back that he would pay him 50 cents for the wood and call the trade off Giles claimed that he had paid all he owed him. Rushing said that he had not and started to walk away, when Giles said: "Yes, d-n you, you have been imposing on us long enough, but if you try it on me will give you what you need" With that Rushing started back toward him and collared h m. In the scuffle that en- sued Rushing was cut just below the left lung, but did not know it until in giving chase to the darkey, who broke away and ran, he began to feel very weak and sank to the pavement from loss of blood. The darkey made good his es- cape, and is probably at this moment secure within the confines of your famed Buzzard's s Roost. From Dr. s. D. Smith, who is the attending physician, we learned today that Rushing was not do- ing so we'll and that there was grave apA prehension concerning his recovery.

HERBERT IN 1890.

A correspondent from Greenville, Ala, writing to the Montgomery Journal, mo- ticing the speech of Secretary Herbert advocating the gold standard, says;
 "In 1890. when Colonel Herbert was a candidate for congress against Rev. MT. Pilley of Troy, he made speech in the court house at this place, in which he ad- vocated the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the ratio of 16 Ito 1. He urged that all democrats come out and vote for him. as his defeat might give the republicans a majority in con gress and thereby free coinage would be defeated. Several citizens here will say they remember the speech very dis tinctly" +

It is announced that during the past month the republican city committee in Philadelphia has bought 42.000 poll tax receipts and the democrats 90O0. The New York World makes the fine point that paying the voters poll tax Is small bribe to induce him to vote. The poll tax ought to be abolished, and that would settle the question of corruption. It should be relegated to disuse with the whipping post, pilory and crying of noe turnal hours by the policemen.
