 All Negroes E&cape,i.

A turket shoot, which the negroes were holding Tuesday at the home of Robert NCrthcross, one mile east of Richmond, was the scene of a double shooting in which Spank Green was shot and probably fatally injured by Emmett Nolen. and in which Cal Park CT was shot and instantly killed by Peter Nolen, brother of Emmett. All of the parties were negroes. Immed- lately after the troub the Nolen neg roc3 left, Peer riding and Emmet. walking. going different ways and both armed with s0otguns. They have not been apprehended. The only trace of Peter Nolen was the.t he had crossed Red River west of Richmond Tuesday nigh. Peter is known as a bad negro. It was he that shot s. A. Maddox, of this city, wounding him on the 18th cay of June, 1913. while MT. Maddox was attempting to arrest him. He es- caped at the time but was captured the following November in Texas. tried at the January term and sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, which time he had served
 One of the negroes who witnessed the trouble at Richmond Tuesday, gave us the following particulars: The turkey shooting was about ended at 4:30 in the afternoon, and some of the negroes were at the Nortacross home about 150 yards distant. Spank Green was talking to a negress Francis Hut chison, when Emmett Nolen called her. He called her the seccnd time when she refused to come. Green asked if she was married, and receiving a neg atiye reply, said that he guessed they could talk to each o.har all they want ed to. NOlen became enraged and went to where Peter was and borrow ed his automatic sho- gun. He return ed ana called to Cal Parker to g.t his sister-in-law out of the way, and then shot Green through the shoulder as the girl moved away. It is reported that Green may die.
 Cal Parker Shot.
 When Emme Nolen had shot Green he ran to where Peter was 150 yards away with the other negroes, saying that he had killed Green. Peter seized shotgun and ran toward the house. saying that he was going to kill ,, the first d-- negro that came out As he came up Cal Parker walked out evidently not expecting any further trouble. Peter Nolen raised his gun and shot Parker through the heart, the full load of No. shot taking effect The negroes seemed to think tpat Pet CT shot with a reckless desire to kill no matter whom or why The Nolen negroes left and are supposed to have crossed into Texas during the night The negroes in the settlement were talking of raising reward for the capture of the Nolens.

a further effort TO render the parcel

AT conference in Washington
preliminary steps have been taken to-

post rates on food shipments in the
300-mile zone around cities. The
plan is that the rate be reduced from
five cents to one cent for the first
pound and half cent for additional
pounds up to fifty. Obviously this
would greatly reduce the present cost

ply because it is lower, for the parcel
post is not an eleemosynary institu-

pectation that the proposed lowering
of the rate would be made good
through increased use OF the parcel
post; and certainly so material a re-
duction of the rate can hardly fail to
attract attention to the possibilities
of the parcel post as means OF di-
rect communication between the pro-
ducer and the consumer.
| That seems to be, as a matter oi
fact, what is needed more than any
thing else-the exploitation OF this
method and the education OF the peo-
pie as to it's advantages. Experl-

from the farmers can get many farm
products at much lower cost by

company going to keep negroes from
leaving this county. 1t was claimed
that they were under contract to la,
Dor for this or the other man, and
that they were violating the con-
tracts by leaving after having re
ce1ved advances, and the strong arm
or law was invoked TO keep them
here. The people then wanted the
negro to stay.

their homes here We cannot think
tnat there is any man in Abbeville

would see these people leave this sec
