Long and Mr.. Brewton got up a crowd
of young men and proceeded to the
negroes homes and demanded all their
guns, ammunition and accoutrements,
and they had all they could labor un-
der-they and their horses. They
brought the guns and ammunitions.
etc., to Union and turned them over to
Sheriff Rice Rogers and requested him
to notify Gov. Scott that they had TAX
en- up the guns from the negroes and
they were subject to his orders.
Shortly after this they learned the
names of the parties who had started
out in this raid to kill them, amongst
them negro blacksmith by the name
of James Hardy, who was in the crowd
and begged the militia for mercy and
not to kill Mr.. c. Matt Stevens and
Robinson. They now commenced max
ing arrests as to those who did the
killing. Several of the negro barri-
caded themselves in a house known as
the Yellow House. Dan Smith, dep
uty sheriff for Rice Rogers, went to
this house to arrest them. Instead Of
surrendering they shot through the
door and killed him with some of the
militia guns and made their escape
for the time being. They arrested sew
eral of them and put them in the coun-
ty Jail. Among them was James
Hardy, who had interceded so pite-
ously with the negro militia for Matt
Stevens and Robinson.
Chief Justice Willard, who was a
carpetbagger from the State of Massa-

They armed themselves and went be-
low where Mr.. Longs father resided,
got up a pretty good crowd, well
armed and hid in piece of pines,
waiting for the negro, militia to make
their appearance. They failed to come
and the men disbanded and went to
their homes.
The next morning the men got the
information that they had started in
their direction, but upon reaching
Duck Pond church, 60 in number, un-
der the command of large black ne
gro by the name of Alex Walker, and
had gotten as far as Upper Fair For

and Ben Robinson in a two-horse
wagon, with two barrels of whiskey
Walker ordered Mat Stevens and Rob-
lnson to halt and demanded the whis-
'key. Mr.. Stevens told them the whis-
key did not belong to him, he was only
hauling it for Mr.. Steen, the hotel
keeper, but that he had a quart in his
pocket he would give him, which he
did, and drove Immediately off and got
3O or 40 yards away when the militia
opened fire and killed Mr.. Stevens.
Mr.. Robinson jumped out of the
wagon and ran to Mr.. John Scott's
house for protection and while there
the family of Mr.. Scott and Mr.. Rob-
lnson could hear the militia knocking
the heads of the barrels out with the
butt ends of their guns. They got
drunk and lay scattered all over the
felds that night. They took Matt
Stevens body, battered out his brains
and, realizing what they had done,
dragged his body some distance west
and tried to bury it and covere it up
with leaves. Stevens and Robinson
were old Confederate soldiers, Stevens

GRAIN MEN WOULD FIX PRICES.
Growers Seek to Prevent Manipulations
from Control of Market

FARGO, North Dakota, Aug. 16. - If
plans discussed here yesterday at con
ference of the Society of Equity are
successfully carried out, the grain
growers of the Northwest will have an
important say in the fixing of wheat
prices i'll future. The growers purpose
to prevent if possible a repetition of
last year 5 experience, when grain
manipulators succeeded in reducing the
price of grain as low as 50 cents in the
Minneapolis market,
The grain growers division of the
Society of Equity embraces in its mem
bership thousands of the leading pro
ducers throughout the Northwest. Their
plan for procedure will be to ascertain
the crop acreage, the yield an acre,
the actual cost of production of grain
of all kinds, the cost of marketing the
crop, and on this basis to figure ont
what the price should be to allow a
reasonable profit.

HEARING OF INTEREST
TO VERMONT FARMERS
Federal Farm Loan Board Meets in
Concord, N. H., Aug. %, Relative
to Land Bank Districts.

A hearing of great importance to
farmers, farm organizations and cities
of New Hampshire and Vermont will
be conducted b. the newly appointed
Federal Farm Loan board in the feder-
al building at Concord, n. H., Aug %.
to guide the board in determining the
boundaries of the y Federal Land bank
districts into which the United States
is to be divided for the application of
the new rural credits legislation.
The members of the Federal Farm
Loan board who will conduct the hear
ing are Hon. William G. McAdoo, sec
rotary of the treasury; George w
Norris, farm land commissioner: Her
bert Quick, Capt. w. S. A. Smith and
G. f. 'Lobdell.
The board has requested farmers and
farm organizations of New Hampshire
and Vermont to furnish facts concern
ing the need of cheaper farm loans and
it has asked interested cities to present
claims for the location of one of these
banks. This will be the only hearing in
New Hampshire and Vermont.
The new Federal Farm Loan Act will
DO for the farmer what the Federal Re
serve Act is doing for the business
man. Under it the government pro-
vides the machinery for assembling
capital to be loaned to farm owners or
intended farm owners, on first mort
gage farm security. The loans cannot
exceed so per cent of the value of the
land, nor 20 per cent of the value of
the permanent improvements The
loans will be made at low rate OF
interest, not yet determined, but not
over d per cent, and provision is made
for the borrower to pay off the loan
and interest III small annual or semi
annual payments through Il period of
10 years or at his option. Farmers, to
take advantage of the law, must as
soeiate themselves IN groups of 10 OF
more and form Farm Loan associa-
tons and then make application to one
of the - Federal Land banks. The
land will then be appraised, and if il
meets requirements the loans win be
made.
