est and most damnabie massacres of

sons made their appearance upon tho
sccne and without warning. began 10
Immediately fire into the crowd OF
helpless and ususpectInE negroes, which
resulted in the death OF five Of them.
The foreman claims that he did not
recognize any OF the 0ssasslns. Many
believe that he knows who they are,
but on account OK probability Of per-
sonal danger 20 himself he Is afraid to
give out any Information that would
lead 10 their arrest. The section where
these last murders occurred is occu-
pied almost entirely By the saw mills

others as well as friend M. that there is
on nearly any forty acres In our section

overfowed, and that we have at last
learned that heretofore discarded land
is now our salvation. We are clearing
it and planning it.
Rice is about the best crop-sugar
cane will do well, but it must be made
as dry as possible or the cane will be
watery. Corn is a sure crop on such
land, and while speaking of corn, Nov
ember 10th is the time to plant. We
are supposing there will be no freeze; If
so, plant again at once. This corn will
mature with the March rains. No
worms or weevil will trouble, and green
corn will sell in local markets. Irish
potatoes are surer crop than sweet,
and will keep for home use or sell IN
home market at 81. so per bushel at least.
