1T WAS A SERIOUS FDACAs.
Many Negroes Wounded i'm Recent
Excursion Riot.

Tallahassee, Fla, June 2l.--Later reports
from the fracas at Thomas City Monday
evening between negro excursionists from
Tallahassee and turpentine hands proved
that the trouble was more serious than at
first reported.
Several of the turpentine negroes were
wounded In the skirmlsh, FIVE of them Sc
yerely and it is said that one will die. An
uninterested spectator had his ear grazed
by bullet and several colored persons
had close calls, balls passing through their
clothing. making slight flesh wounds.
An idea of the battle that ragged for a
few minutes may be gathered from the
statement that more than sixty bullets MT
the rear passenger coach,
This matter is likely TO get into the
courts. as it is claimed that the fight was
premeditated by the turpentine hands VINO
had made open threats that they would
show the Tallahassee darkies how they
could shoot the next time they visited
Thomas City.
IL is apparent from the number of tur-
oentine negroes murdered that the Tala-
hassee darkies can shoot some themselves.
Thomas City is in Jefferson county. and
r. L. Fitzpatrick, sheriff Of that county,
is in the city to investigate the fracas,
and il is likely that a number OF arrests
viii be made before he leaves Tallahassee.
Mr. j. Z. Redding last week look his
wife and baby to her former home at Cuth-
bert Ca, where they were to spend the
summer. and he return to Tallahassee.
Tuesday night he wired the sad message
that his wife was dead from heart fall
ure.

JUDGES AND SOLICITORS.
THE LAW OF POPULAR ELECTION
UNSATISFACTORY

Some Want These Officers Appointed
by the Governor and Confirmed by
the Senate - Others Want Them
Named by the Supreme Court.
There Is an Impression That the
Old Method of Election by the
Legislature May Be Restored.
Atlanta, June H.-Since the recent an
nouncement that there would be intro
duced into the next House a bill to change
the constitution by having the judges and
solicitors appointed by the Governor and
confirmed by the Senate, as it was uuder
the constitution OF 1868. the indications are
now that there will be several Of such
bills, though the authors are very retlcert
about the matter.
While everybody admits the necessity
Of a change from the present unsadsfac-
tory mode, there is yet quite diversity
Of opinion as to the best course to adopt
Hewlett Halls idea TO have the Supreme
Court appoint has many adherents. and
also the plan to have the Governor APP
point
Hon. Ed L. Wight of Albany will intro
duce the bill to make the latter change.
There seems to be no doubt that a change
will be made, but reviewing the sikuatiol
thus far ahead, from all the talk that
can be gathered, the Legislature will vote
again TO give its successors the right to
elect these officers.
The Legislature gave way TO popular
clamor and made the change-a serious
mistake Now the politicians who, fer
the past ten years, have come TO tie
front through the Legislature, want the
old order Of things, and it looks as If their
wish will be gratified
