A special to The Albany Herald
says a party of negroes of unknown
number went to the residence Of E.
o. Mcdonald, in Milford, at Il
o'clock one night recently, called
him to the door, and when he opened
it a few inches opened fire on him
with guns and pistols. The door
knob was shattered on the outside
while he held it within, and the whole
front of the building was filled with
bullets ands mall shot. Mr.. Nc
Donald was struck in the wrist by
shot, but was not seriously injured.
His wife and children and an aged
lady who was visiting the family
were all greatly alarmed, but escap-
ed injury.
The attack on the Mcdonald house
followed the killing of a negro at
Milford on Friday before. party
of strange negroes stopped in the
store of H. n. Sanders. The door
was closed on account of the high
wind, and when Mcdonald entered
he could not see distinctly, on ac-
count of the darkness. He was on
crutches being a sufferer with rheu-
matism, and stumbled against the
feet of one of the strange negroes.
The latter jumped up, seized Nc
Donald and began beating him bru.
tally, until b. n. Sanders, a clerk il
the store, interfered and rescued Nc.
Donald. The latter hurried to his
home and secured his shot gun. Be
fore he returned the negroes had lefr

who had beaten him to come bach

The negro accepted the challenge,
but lodged behind a tree as he ap-
preached. so that Mcdonald could not
shoot. The negro took something
from his pocket and held it behind
him, and when he attempted to rush
upon Mcdonald the latter shot him
down. He died in five minutes.
When shot he had an open knife in
his hand, the blade being nine inches
long.
1t is taken for granted that the
attack on the Mcdonald house was
made by friends of the dead negro

VINE POTATOES ESCAPE COOK.
This Yankee Grows Tubers Like
Tomatoes.

Dwight Wheeler of Middlebury,
Conn, experimenting for years on
Irish potatoes, has finally solved the
problem of the potato in atri-bed
variety, which requires no cooking
and grows on vines like the tomato.
His efforts are certain to revoiu-
tionize potato culture and reduce
the strain on the housewife, who
now finds it difficult in all tempera-
lures to keep the cooked potato con-
stantly on hand.
Mr.. Wheeler has invited farmers
all over the state to an exhibit of
growing vines, which will be in bios
som in the near future.

CHAS. S. BARRETT DECLINED.
National Farmers Union President
Did Not Accept Appointment.

Did Not Accept Appointment.
Charles S. Barrett, national presi-
dent of the Farmers Union, de-
clined the appointment by Governor
Smith as one of the representatives
from this state to the conference of
State Governors which began at the
White House in Washington on
Thursday.
Several reasons contributed to Mr..
Barrett's declinatiOn of the appoint
ment. One is that he is very busy
with the duties of his office. and the
other is said to be that he was afraid
that the appointment was not meant
as an honor for himself or a compli-
ment for his organization 1t is re-
ported that he hesitated in allowing
himself, or his Office, used for the
purpose Of political capital. Had the
appointment come at some other
time he would probably have accent
ed. He would not discuss the matter
at all
