PLY Averted
Selma, n. c.. June S.-A race war has
been imminent in Selma since Monday
night, when a negro medicine seller was
rotten-egged by parties unknown and Il
free fight was engaged in. One negro
was badly used up. Tuesday the negroes
made threats of fighting it out Tuesday
night, and went 50 far as to buy up am
munition. A telephone dispatch from
Smithield Tuesday night said that Il
mob of negroes had started from that
place with evident intention of aiding
the Selma negroes. All the whites were
armed in a short time and sentries were
put out to halt them. The negroes gath
cred in woods near by but did not haz-
ard an attack. The sheriff and posse
of men from Smithfield came to check
the disturbance.

The only other three men that were named

former narrowed down 20 the three men
