Trouble Began in n Fight at NayIOr.
VaIdOsta News Notes.


Valdosta, Ga. May 15.-Reports from
Midtown, in Berrien county, are to the
effect that the white people and ne
groes have been having some trouble
this week, which grew out of an as
sault made by a negro engineer, named
Seab Sharp, upon the white conductor
of the Gress Railroad, Charlie Clanton.
Clanton ordered the negro back to his
engine to make a coupling to some fiat
cars at Naylor. The negro did. not obey
the order, and a quarerl ensued. The
engineer got off of his engine and gave
the conductor q sound drubbing, being
much the farger man.
When the train went back to Mill
town, Clanton's friends started out to
find Sharp. He lodged them and skip
ped out. Then the white citizens got
up a petition. asking Mr.. Gress not to
employ any more negroes as engineers
on his trains. A negro at Midtown
heard of the petition and expressed him
self pretty freely in regard 10 1t. That
night committee waited on him and
gave him a thrashing.

ago and will remain until next week.

with her last evening to hear her plans
discussed, and they were pleased with
them. Another meeting will be held

again. Her idea is to get up a school
that will teach the negroes to work
with their hands and to try and make
