Over Politics, Saturday Night. in sma l
Alabama Town.
Montgomery, Ala, July 31.-A special
to the Advertiser from Opelika, Ala,
gives the following account of fight
over politics in Chambers county, this
State:
The little village of Cusseta, near
here, was the scene last night of a
serious and very exciting tragedy. Two
prominent white men and four negroes
were shot, and several others narrowly
escaped a similar fate. Political lines
in that precinct are tightly drawn and
party feeling runs high. Last night
it was understood that the Populists
would have negro rally meeting and
speaking on Col. PENIS place near
Cusseta, and H. R. Mitchell the over
seer of the plantation, with a score
of negroes of his following, went out
to attend the meeting. When he and
his party arrived at the place they
were met and fired upon by a negro
named Gus Avery and his associates.
The weapons used were double-barrel-
ed shot-guns, and Charlie Morgan, Tom
Combs and John Hill were shot. Mitch
ell returned to Cusseta and procured
warrants for the arrest of the negroes
who did the shooting. This was about
2 o'clock this Sunday morning, and
as the party surrounded the house in
which the offenders were thought to
be concealed, the negro Populists open
ed fire from ambush without any warn
ing, and seriously wounded w. w
Meadors and w. J. Busby, both white
men, and Will Floyd, negro.
The spread of this news produced
great excitement and negro uprising
was thought to be imminent. Armed
forces were telegraphed for to Opelika,
West Point and Lafayette. About two
hundred men, armed with Winchester
rifles, shot guns and pistols responded
to the CALL AS the train from Opelika
came up this force was marched out to
the scene of action and cheering wildly
as if they were about to attack a Span
ish fertilization. 1t is not likely that
anything more serious will transpire,
but the election takes place to-mor-
row and everything is at fever heat.

About Good shooting in the Navy.
Washington. July 31.--As the re-
markable gun practice of the United
States sailors exhibited at Manila and
Santiago and elsewhere has attracted
the attention of the whole world, with
the result of calling forth much spe-
culation as to how this high degree of
proficiency has been attained, it is pro-
per to state that this is of compara-
lively recent development and is as
cribabie entirely to the energetic eff
forts of the navigation bureau of the
Navy Department, seconded by the
hearty cooperation Of the commanding
officers of our ships. About a year ago
Captain Crowninshield, chief of the ma
vigation bureau, assisted by Ensign
Ward, one of the brightest and most
scientific of the younger officers of the
navy, began to recast the entire sys-
tenn of gun practice as it existed in the
!
| it had come down from the last war,
was not sufficient for the needs of the
day. At the beginning, it was found
that owing to the restrictions imposed
by departmental rules, it was scarcely
possible to have gun practice aboard
ship more than once year, instead of
once a quarter, as contemplated. Cour-
ses had to be laid out and stake boats
placed at angius and records taken,
making it extremely difficult to find
| conditions admitting of the practice.
Captain Crowninshield, at once, chang
ed these rules and impressed upon
commanders the Importance of gun
practice at every opportunity, even
where it was not possible to lay a
course, in which case barrels or float
| ing targets of any kind might be toss
ed over as the ships were under way.
! Moreover, the number of times that
target practice must be had was in
creased to seven annually.
Then orders were issued calling for
night practice, repelling torpedo boat
attacks, etc. Following this, Captain
| Crowninshield turned his attention to
the personnel Of the gun corps, and In
duced the Secretary OF the Navy to
sanction the rating CT gun captains, a
new rating entirely, and one SO well
| paid as to excite the ambition of the
men,. Under the old system, the chief
gunners were not chosen fer their
proficiency in gunnery, but were given
their stations because they happened
to be petty officers, such as quarter
masters or bCatswains, or the like.
| This system was completely reversed,
and sailors were made petty officers
because they were good gun captains,
thus getting rid OF a number of the
| inefficient men. The next step was to
| instruct the gunners thoroughly, and
| they were placed aboard certain vessels
set apart solely for that purpose Thus
the Amphitrite was given a crew of
| these gunners, and sent to Port Royal,
S. c., for extensive drills The pur-
pose in selecting this place was to Sc
cure a large body Of water, free from
the presence of merchant marine.
| Being away from large cities, both
| officers and men were able to avoid
distraction from their work, which
progressed remarkably. Thus.

Two shapes have met on the midnight
field,
By the crest of the silent hill,
W mere the mountains CLEAN in the moon
light pale,
And the damp night winds blow chill
The one is clad in the Union blue.
And the other in ragged gray
Inc ghost shapes speak as they look
around
And these be the words they say:
"Comrade! I've heard the sound of guns:
DO the fight for the olden strife?
DO the serried ranks of the armies we
knew
Once more seek each others life?"
What is the word from the countryside.
From our sons and the sons of men,
Born of the land that gave US birth?
Do they struggle like us again?"
Il, too. am stirred from my narrow bed"

In the particular case in question two
widowed women were awarded verdicts
by the court of their State for the death
of their husbands through the agency
of the railroad. That one award should
have been esteemed excessive does not
alter the merits of the case. The lives
of these two men were estimated in dol
lars and cents to be worth $4,000 to
their families. The Federal judiciary
