| A bloody clash between white
caps and party of negroes re-
turning from a festival, near Lew.
isburg occurred late Saturday
night. A defiant negro fred his
pistol at the form of an inquisi-
torial whitecap. The response was
volley of buckshot and pistol
bullets into party of thirty five
negroes, of whom fifteen were Sc
vereIy wounded, and four mortal
ly. Some of the negroes in the
party bear good names, and 9th
ers are known as bad characters.
They received the volley indis-
criminately. Several women were
among the wounded.
The body of Mathew Wilson, a
farmer and stock trader, was found
near the Mobile & Ohio Railroad
track two miles north of Ruther
ford at noon Sunday. There were
eleven snot wounds, the body be-
ing literally riddled. A coroner's
jury decided that he was killed by
a party of parties unknown. Will
son bore a rather unsayory repnta-
ton. He was arrested on three
warrants charging him with break
ing into a house with intent to
commit felony, carrying arms and
threatening to kill Peeps family.
He was released on bond. He had
terrorized the entire community
and but little sympathy is expires
ed for his fate. Rutherford peo-
pie are very reticent about the
affair. He leaves a wife and three
children.
The weekly crop bulletin of the
United States weather bureau
shows that the past week has been
an ideal one for farm work; that
the outlook is now fine for the
sowing of wheat and winter oats;
that frosts have done no damage
and that crops, as whole, are in
good condition, but that the army
worms are at work in West Ten
nessee, destroying young oats and
rye. Tobacco, perhaps the finest
crop for years, has about all been
housed in generally good condi-
ton. Cotton picking is kept we'll
up with the opening. and planters
are making the most of the short
crops. The work of saving fodder
and the various kinds of late hay {
has progressed favorably, and (
large quantities are now stored in !
fine condition for winter use.
Much late corn has also been cut |
and shocked for forage. Late I'M /
matured crops are in a good state {
Of development. Late Irish po- !
tatoes promise only fair yields, I
Peanuts are being dug and fall APP
pies have been mostly gathered.
