AHOSKIE.

Ahoskic. N c.. July 12.-The negroes
are enraGed and taking spite from in
nocent white men.
Last night about . o'clock Marshal
Lassiter was returning to town, when
he passed two negroes. They seemed
to be out OF humor. and We're abusing
the Democrats because they were not
allowed to register. Lassiter passed
them and nothing was said But soon
they began firing at him and contin-
ued until three shots were fired. Las
sitter was unarmed, but hurried home
TO prepare for them. He was soon on
his way back to the place of the shoot
ing. Several friends followed him
with guns. but the parties had not
been caught at s o'clock this morning.
1t will be very unfortunate for them
If they are found out. Lassiter stated
he heard each bullet whistle near his
head, and said he had no idea how a
bullet sounded before.
Our people will serve notice on the
negroes and the white-skin leaders
that fuse with them that another at
tack of this kind may prove very dear
TO them. While we are law-abiding
and God-fearng people. we do not
propose TO he treated in this way. We
will treat the negro fair If he will al
low us to do so. but we do not propose
to allow them to treat us this way.

Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1900-01-26

There has boon no relaxation of the
iemand for fractional silver, and tho
situation, according to treasury off,
aals, Is likely to get worse rather
han better. All the uncurrent and do
hced coins have now been coined up.
md the treasury is at the end OF ita
resources. When Secretary Gage took
hold In March. 1897, he had $16. 000,-
700 in subsidiary coin. That sum has
steadily declined, until now there Is
.ess than $4,000. 900 in the possession
IF the treasury. and this is scattered
over the country. The demand for
small coins continues from all sec
fiona, and there has been found no au-
thority of law to purchase bullion to
Iupply tho demand. Tho secretary last
rear suggested to congress that he be
Eiven authority to use the seignioraEe
Tor subsidiary coinage, but the only
response was TO direct the coinage Of
Ill this seigniorage into silver dollars.
There will be scarcity Of small
change until congress acts.

Producers of New Books.

According TO recent writer, Great
Britain produces fewer than third of
the number Of new books published
by Germany, not many more than
half of the new books produced by
France, and considerably under the
total produced by Italy. The num-
bers given are: Germany, $4,000
new books per year; France, $4,000;
Italy, $500; Great Britain, 1900;
United States, $500; Netherlands,
$500. If. however, England is thus
low in the general production of new
books, she leads in the production OF
novels, heading the list with 243S.
Germany leads in educational works
with 5442, arts and sciences with
1898, bellies lettres with 2453, and
ravel with 1889; while Italy leads in
political economy with 1884 aud
France in history with 116a.-Tit-
Bits.

character, nothing else that SO fur
nishes hands for his benefcence an,
feet to run his errands of good will.-

Among the gems Of general knowl-
edge which sometimes serve to illu-
mine the dull routine Of elementary
education the following Essay on St.
Stephen" copy Of which reaches VI
from the vicinity Of Church of Eng
land school in Surrey, is worthy Of a
place. The author appears to have de-
rived his misinformation from both lay
and ecclesiastical sources, and he
writes: I'VE have heard that St.
Stephen was the first one to find out
how to make the steam engin. He
first made the pufln-Billy and many
others, and he went on maxim EN-, and
some he made better than all the 9TH
ers, and these be the ones you see in
the stashuns." This Is pretty good, but

with infinite gravity and brevity, our
youthful essayist concludes: clay
not this thing to my charge said he,
when he was a-dyin OF bein stoned
