BIG RIOT IN CHAMBERS.
Populist Mob Fired on Democratic Gath
 ering--Several Wounded.

Special Dispatch to The Age-Herald
 Opelika, Aug. IA race war al Cusseta, brought on by politics, was narrowly avert ed yesterday. Politics in Chambers county, where the difficulty occurred, is at fever heat, and the main fight was between the the democratic and populist candidates for probate judge. Saturday morning the demo- crats held a meeting near Cusseta, and their orators divided time with the popu- lists Last night the populists held meet ing, and, reports say, refused to divide time with the democrats; thereupon the demo- crats withdrew and started up separate speaking, and In the midst of these move ments someone shot at MT. Mitchell and wounded his horse.
 He,left at once for Cusseta and swore out warrants for the parties and returned. When he again reached the scene his posse was again fired into and they returned the fire and desperate fight ensued
 In the quiet stiffness of the early Sab bath morning the rattle of shotguns and Winchesters seemed strangely odd and af- ter the onslaught was over 1t was found that the following whites were seriously wounded:
 w J. Busbee, W. W. Meadows. Also the following negroes: John Hull, Will Floyd, Tom Combs, Charles Morgan.
 The report reached here that the negroes were armtng and gathering for the purpose of wiping out the white race.
 Forty men, armed to the teeth, left here at 8 o'clock for the scene. They carried hundreds of rounds of ammunition for their Winchesters and shotguns and went pre- pared to maintain the supremacy of the white race.
 When they got there they found white men pouring in from all the surrounding country. They came on foot, on horseback, in wagons bugiges and carts. Lafayette furnished about seventy-five white men, and itosPt hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm hm West Point sent many more.
 All is quiet today. The negroes saw that vengeance swift and sure was hanging over them and have dispersed. No further trouble is anticipated.
