THEY OPEN FIRE.
A Mob of White Men Open Fire on a
Negro Cabin and Kill Two
of the Inmates.

News reached this city yesterday

ed fire on negro cabin because
they suspected a horse thief was
concealed. After the fusilade it
was found that two negroes were
killed, and one wounded. The par
ticulars as we gather them are as
follows: A posse of fifteen white
men started out to catch horse
thief, and came upon negro
cabin belongidg to colored man
named Rodgers. They called on
Rodgers to open the door, and fail
ing to do this, the mob opened fire
killing Rodgers daughter and son
and wounding Rodgers himself.
These men were all disguised, but
the wounded negro says he identi-
ged some of them and will swear
out warrants for their arrest, This
seems to be a very wanton affair,
and the officers of Titus county
should run this mob down and have
them answer before the courts for
killing people in such a reckless
way. If mob law is allowed to go
on in matter unpunished, it will be
but a short time until our whole
are turned into defensive
or offensive one against the other.

best citizens (?) composing these

FIT. LYNN LETTER.
FT. LYNN, ARK, July 7, '95.

IL LINN, ANN OulJ ~ VO'
For the first time during my cor
respondence to your paper, ] am
called upon to chronicle the sad in
telligence that the angel of death
has paid us a visit.
This morning at 6o'clock the pure
spirit Of little Joseph, infant son
Gage 5 months) of Mr.. and Mrs, W,
h, Lambeth, took its fight to the
God who gave it.
"Sufler little children and forbid
them not to come unto me, for Of
such is the kingdom of heaven"
The bereaved parents have the
heartfelt sympathy of our little
community,
The much talked of Fourth of
July has passed into history. The
celebration and picnic at this place
proved a grand success, People
from the surrounding country com
menced gathering early in the
morning and kept up a constant
stream Of arrivals lntil 10 o'clock,
when the train from Texarkana ar
rived, bringing four carloads Of
perspiring but jubilant animation,
seeking the cool shade Of our pleas
ant grove. After dlscharging It's
passengers at the picnic grounds
the train proceeded to Doddridge,
and returned within an hour, bring
ing four cars packed as snugly as
herring IN a box.
All being gathered in the shade
and comfortably seated 20 the
number Of about 1000, the exercises
were opened by singing, and prayer
by the chaplain, who, upon conclu-
sion, introduced G. II. Mcclure, SUI
perlntendent of the Lynn Sunday
school, who in a few well chosen
words, welcomed the large and at
tentiye audience, in behalf Of the
Sunday school, He then introduced
Prof. Allen Winham, Principal of
the Texarkana Public School, who
read the Declaration of lndepend-
euce in an impressive manner,
which brought to mind many
thoughts which had almost been
forgotten. The Professor retired
amidst loud applause, after which
the national anthem, america"
was sung with much patriotic feel
ing.
Then Rev. Francis II. Williams
was introduced who delivered an
interesting and able oration to 4
very attentive audience, which fre.
quently applauded the speaker The
following Is his oration in a con.
densed form;
"The two most important events
that lllumine the pages of history

of years afterward their descend
ants would use this great charter
as a basis for the second event,
building upon it more complete
vindcation Of mans inalienable and
God given right to equality before
the law, together with "life, liberty
and the pursuit Of happiness, And
/ can with truth add, the spirit that
gave to the world the Declaration
of Independence" not only destroyed
religious despotism, but secured to
every citizen the right "to worship
God as the conscience may dictate. "
And because OF that truth and that
liberty-loving spirit the Lynn Sun
day school invites Texas sand Arkan-
sas to meet them in commemoration
Of that day for which patriots
pledged 'life, fortune and sacred
honor" that untramelled men
should have the right to assemble
and discuss measures" "
At 1890 o'clock dinner was an
nounced, when all gathered around
the tables and partook of bounte-
Gus and elegant repast, after which
an hour was very pleasantly spent
In recreation getting acquainted
and social intercourse generally.
At 2;3O o'clock the Lynn Sunday
school was called to the stand, and
amused the assembly as follows:

Attendance, Pro.
gram and
Notes.

To say that the Confederate Re-
union is a success is but feebly ex-
pressing it, for it is far beyond the
most sanguine expectations of its
projectors, There are at least two
thousand people on the grounds, at
this writing, and still they come, in
wagons, hacks, buggies, on horse
back and on foot. The woods here
abouts are full of people, old and
young, all smiling and happy at the
success of their efforts in planning
and carrying out the great social
gathering, and reunion.
At II o'clock the veterans assem-
bled in front of Mrs. Carter's Hotel
and forming into procession and
to the music of the DeKalb Band,
marched to the grove near the
church where seats had been arran-
ged and a stand erected for the
exercises.
The meeting was called to order
by Judge Dillard, and after an elo.
quent and fervent prayer by the
chaplain, the Rev. Mr., Hardy, Miss
Ola Proctor was introduced and
delivered the address of welcome.
She is a charming young lady about
l8 years of age, and in clear, dis
tinct voice, most eloquently bid the
old veterans welcome, and her
words cheered and comforted the
old soldiers, warmed their hearts,
and made their eyes brighten and
sparkle. When she closed the cheer
ing was prolonded and hearty
Prof. Wilson, of Bonham, then
delivered an able address, that was
heartily received and fully appre-
ciated by the old veterans.
The affair is a decided success and

and it will do nothing for the people. 1t spurns
your petitions as George III. spurned them BEFORE

prosperity and the threat of harder times to bribe
you or to terrify you into silence or submission
The usurers have rendered the oppressed property

smble which afrms equality, denies to the property

"One thing more, fellow citizens. Had England
put down the late uprising, every shings worth OF
property in Massachusetts would have been contis-
Gated to the crown. The efforts and suffering of all
the people saved it from cOnscation and it ought,
therefore, to be the common property of all the peO
pie That would be justice, and whoever attempts
by force or by laws to deny to any man in Massa-
chusetts a just share of the common lands, is an
enemy to equity and justice and should be swept off
the face of the earth.

their courts are robbing everybody to pay were con-

paper money; and the debts were made larger for
that very reason. say justice demands those debts

One listener he had who was as proud Of him as
was his own mother for Gertrude had Instantly rec
ognized in the fiery orator the young man she had
casually met at the farm house a week before. She
was deeply moved by his utterances; and she would
have joined an attempt, had it been made, to mob
Isaac Stilwell. No such attempt having been pro-
posed-s circumstance which greatly lowered the
crowd in her estimaton-she contented herself with
becoming once for all thorough rebel against the
government Of Massachusetts, Now for the first
time, she clearly understood why the people clam
ored for paper money, and why her father and hiS
class so bitterly opposed it. She now understood,
also, why her father and his class were so anxious
the people should rely upon petitlOning the govern
ment. They were to petition the servants Of her
fathers class for what that class had forbidden In
advance.
Greatly irrtated at the efrontery of the intruder
into the days proceedings, Stilwen was in no mood
to be trihed with, and disagreeable remark she
made led to an order sending Gertrude to her room
that evening almost Immediately after the candles
had been lighted But she had learned the intru-
der's name, and something of his Character-as I'M.
derstood in aristocrstic circles. He was Sydney
Stone, who, educated at Cambridge, had given up
his destined career at the bar in order to assist hs
father by laboring upon the farm. His ability,
added to his fsnstcal sincerity caused her fathers
class to regard him as very dangerous young man,
and he was all the more to be hated because he had
deserted the class which had the right to claim the
loyal devotion Of all educated men Of parts and not
with ambitious aims which might have excused him,
but with actual sincerity had lately become an
instructor and leader of "the ignorant multitude"
In those old days, 80 different from the happy days
in which we are permitted to live, such detection
received the seVerest censure of the men of wealth.

Cooperation.

EDITOR ADVoCATE:-I 1t has been
my desire to write something for the
ADVOCATE for sometime past in re-
gard to the progress of the DeBernardi
system of cooperation, which is known
in many places throughout the United
States and in other countries as The
Labor Exchange.
We have had considerable trouble In
getting recognition with some Of the
reform papers, principally because
they have not taken the time to make
an investigation of the merits of our
claims, but we are proud to state that
at last quite a goOdly number are fa-
voring US and the oppressed lsboring
people with some attention, and MAX
ing strong and favorable mention Of
the meritorious work being accom-
plished on this glorious plan. Quite
good deal of organized work has been
already accomplished in many of the
Western and Southern states, as well
as in a few of the Northern and Middle
sections. The Pacific coast states are
apparently taking the lead and a very
large per cent of the reform papers Of
those states are advocating the prin
ciples.
The object is to employ the idle at
once and give them full reeompence
for their products and increase the cir.
culsting medium by a simple device Of
account checks, thus relieving dis
tress almost Immediately, and 1t can
be put into effective operation by the
Alliance and other labor organiZa-
tions.
We shall be pleased to give more In
formation through the columns Of the
ADVOCATE as we can find time to write,
or viii send printed matter upon sppt-
cation with address plainly written.
