Ad.iutant General, Chief of 81,
Negroes Killed in Illinois.

CAKTEKvILLE, ILL.,. Sept. li.-Car-
tcrvillc was the scene of bloody riot
about noon to-day in which six negroes
were killed and one fatally wounded,
while two others received slight
wounds. Trouble has been brewing
since the militia was recalled by Gov
clnor Tanner last Monday. The white
miners of this place have refused to
allow the negro miners to come into
town, always meeting them and order
ing them back. To-day. however,
thirteen negroes, all armed, marched
into town, going to the Illinois Central
depot, where they exchanged few
words with the white lnincrs there.
Then the negroes pulled their pistols
and opened fire on the whites, who ut
once returned the fire. A running fight
was kept up. The negroes scattered,
some being closely followed by the
whites up the main street, while the
remainder fled down the railroad track.
Here the execution was done, all who
went through town escaping. After
the fight was over six dead bodies were
picked up and another mOrtally wOun-
ded. They were taken to the city hall.
where the wounded man was attended
to and an inquest held over the dead
ones.
The affair is really an outcome Of the
trouble arising out of the procurement
of negroes to work in place of striking
white miners.

Autun Items.

We are having SOME excellent wealth
er for cotton picking, and the pickcrs
are making good use of it. But some
OF them; it seems, have been scared, or
else bit, by holding their cotton. for
some OF them are letting it "roll'' as
soon as they get the seed out OF it.
Now, dear old brother farmers, don't
be afraid; inst wait awhile and perhaps
You will get more for your Gotten. But,
if the price should go down and you
find that y0u are bound to lose, let lis
whisper i'll your ear by way of direction
that there is the old watcrpump, where
you might induce several pounds Of Ii
quid pure to come and secretly rest
awhile Ill yOnr cotton. But, in case
you do this, there is some chance Of ii
cotton buyer making you secretly
crest" awhile in the woods or else give
you the pleasure Of cracking rock down

wondered if those eloquent speakers
speak from experience. If they prac-
tice what they preach. their preaching
should do more good. Dear farmers,
there is no use in waiting for some one
else to lead. There is no Alliance Or
Convention that will bring you fabu-
iOtto price lOI COClOu uilucT Tie present
circumstances. Every man ia the ar
chitect Of his own fortune. You, per-
haps, have been raising cotton for the
last five ten or fifteen years. And
Ow,withregret,yOu see thatyour strug-
gle has been in vain. There is no use
in saying: "If could get through one
year" "If," in this clause means moth
ing and should be crossed cut. There
fore, if our barns and cribs have not n
sufficiency to defray our needs for one
year, we are culpably negligent Of our
welfare. There is no use in using con-
temptuous language about cotton spec
ulatOrs and dealers. They do no more
than you would do if you had an equal
opportunity. So do not try to remedy
2 disorder by applying the. remedy to
cause. Tho cause Of those spectators
and dealers dealing in cottonis because
they can get it.. The effect is that the
price is low. Now yon should not try
to change the effect, (the price,) hut
rather the cause. (the acreage).

Negresses Going North.

&. a. Rickter, of Minneapolis, Mimi,
is now working III the South to collect
as many negro girls as he can to take
them to the great northwest, where
there is said to he a wonderful scarcity
of servants for household work. He
has made several trips through Mem
phls, but as yet has made no attempt
to get UP Il crowd from this point. 1t
is his intention to get the most of them
from Baton Rouge, and Saturday he
passed through the city ell route to
Louisville, where he went to interview
w. A. Kellond OH the subject of cheap
rates over the Illinois Central from
Mississippi points to Minneapolis.
While in Memphis Mr.. Ricl1tcr told
Illinois Central passenger officials that
it was his hope to get up at least a
thousand negrcsses to take North with
him. He says it is almost impossible
TO secure white servants in Minneapolis,
and that those who are at work COM
mand exOrbitant wages, many Of them
receiving as high as $50 per month for
ordinary housewOrk. The reason as
signed for this condition Of affairs is
that the white servant girls who have
heretofore been utilized in the house
hold have gradually married off, and
now that their section of the country
is prosperous and all the men have rs
much work at good wages as they care
to do, it is not necessary for the women
to work rs they have been doing in the
past.
The introduction Of c0lored servants
into the homes of Minneapolis is quite
an innovation. and while prejudice has
always served as barrier to the South
erners' standby up there, necessity
has changed the feelings Of the people
and they are willing to employ almost
any kind of servants just so they are
relieved of the chores and housckeep-
ing.
Frank C.. BlundOn is working with
Mr.. Rickter, and he is now in Baton
Rouge getting the Negro girls together.
just when the first lot Of them will be
taken to the Northwestern metropolis
none of the local passenger officials of
the Illinois Central could soy, but their
idea is that as soon as Mr.. Rickter Sc
cures satisfactory arrangements with
MIR. KellOnd as to rates the movement
will begin. In discussing che matter
this morning one Of the Illinois Central
men said:. GAS I understand it. the
method used by Mr.. Rickter is to get
up the girls. then notify those in Min
neapolis that they are ready to go
North aud the employers are to furnish
the money with which to purchase the
transportation. He did not say what
ages were preferred, but from his gen.
eral talk I should imagine that he
wants mono older than 20 or s5 years"
