A special from Ma .field, K? says that at 8 o'clock, this morning every man of that town and every boy who could carry a weapon was on guard there, for an attack by an army of negroes was expected at any moment. The whites were being rein forced hourly" by citizens from surround ing towns. It was thought that before daybreak there would be comuenced the fiercest race war ever known in the South. For forty-eight boms news bad been received at Mayfield fiora, differ ent points that the negroes were organ izing in large bodies lor tne purpose ot visiting the town and wreaking ven geaece upon those who lynched Jim Stone, the rapist. Monday morning, ana followed this by whitecapping some ot the colored families who lived on the outskirts. At 9 o'clock last night telegrams from Water Valley said that the negroes who bad masstd there, were 250 in number and tbat evety one bad some sort of weapon. A half hour later news of a similar nature came from yWingo. These reports, in addition to many of a similar nature received irom surround ing towns during the evening, caused the greatest consternation, and preparations were at once made for a b title. Men fiist saw to it that their homes were bar ricaded as well as that could be done. and then thev proceeded t of-the hard ware stores, where every one who c a d use a weapon was handed one until the entire stock were distributed. A dispatch was sent from Mayfield to Fulton as soon as the alarming reports began to come in, asking aid ot the white citizens at that point. A reol came at once, stating that a special tram would be chartered and a body ot armed men would reach Mayfield as soon as possible. --; At 10. o'clock lasv night the reports bad become so alarming tbat the hrebell was sounded atd all o the citizens as- scrub ed in 4be public fq tare, where they remained expecting the, attack at any hour.

There was no response and tee negroes retreated, evidently toward the larger body. Will Suet, a negro aged 18 years, was shot and killed early this morning near the railway depot.

William J. Bryan opened his lecture tour here to night at the Grand Opera; House. All day long he had been entertained by one organization or another and he held an almost continuous reception. Gov. At kinson took him to the Executive Man sion in tbe morning as his ova guest. At noon the Young Men's Democratic League tendered htm a luncheon, and to niht the Fulton Club entertained bim. Among the speakers . at ; tbe luncheon was ex-Secretary Hoke Smiih. Mr. Bryan, was introduced to-night by Hal T. Lewis, the Georgian who nomi nated bim at Chicago. ' ' The late nominee s reception was en thusiastic. the audience cbeerisg loudly and lone. His subject was "Tne Ancient Landmarks - The subject matter was ex tremely conservative. Tnere was noth ing in it to offend any one. The address was a discussion ot governmental ques tions. Government, said he, is what tbe psbple make it, good or bad, as they die tate. Tbey can remedy abuses if tbey seriously undertake to do so. Often they are indifferent. It bas been Siid that the man who neglects to take part in con' trolling government is worse than the men who govern oad.y. Mr. Bryan quoted liberally from let ferson aad Jackson. He touched on tbe leading issue ot tbe recent campaign but ia a non-partisan way.- Tbe aim. stid he, of advocates of different monetary systems is to secure tnat one which is best lor tbe greatest number of citizens. Men differ as to whica system will ac complisb that, but all agree that the sys tem which will give a uait oi, value oi the least passible fluctuation is tbe besf. la the end the peep e of the country. hod eventually the people of the world will select that system under which rthe unit of Value is m st stable. In reaching that decision, se fljUoess must bs taken rnto account: 4 Selfishness is bere to stay, but it is not wholly disadvanta eeous, for it is the manifestation of tbe instinct of self-preservation. Government shou d not only avoid abuses, but should protect the wfeker against tbe stroo. A government sub stitu.es law lor fore: and ngbttor m gbt. Governments mu.t restrain. Jefferson said that one of tbe most important duties of a government was to restrain one set of cmzensifom inuring tbe others. -.- " Trusts were denounced as a means of dome an injury to one's fellow-citizens. Mr. Bryan remarked tbat be did not thick any party openly defended fusts. ,Tney are permitted to ex st because tbe people are ind.fieient. Tbey could be abolished ty legislation or by public opinion. Newspapers formed public op nion. but they are not expected to do it all. Every individual citizen should execise bis influence, take a position and let it be known. Public opinion is so potent tbat it can crush out any abuse, even trusts or the ue ot money in poli tics. The use of money by political parties is the most pernicious influence in politics. And the party is young in deed which does not use money to ad- Ivance its ends. But it should be re- . .., ,K. . n, i. IAS WSAJ uvivu vaickSj sa tub uat ws auw-y ia permuted, tbe citizens will themselves be plundered to recoup the expenditures. Unjust taxation "was treated at some length. .The speaker declared us just taxation to be indirect larceny. It is taking money from one man's pecket and putting it in the pocket of another man. . Tbe chief cause of discontent in this country is favoritism in one form or an other under the Government. Tbis favoritism mav be manifested by unjust taxation in d.fferent forms. ' Mr. Bryan found good results In the recent campaign. It set the people to thinking, a habit which they will keep up. Jefferson said tbat public officials who are not watched are wolves. Mr. Bryan thinks that hereafter public offi cials - wilt be : more closely watched. Good government consists in jsalousy and not confidence. Overconfidence encourages abuse of confidence. --Io concluding the lecturer remarked significantly tbat tbe Latin poet said we plant trees, the fruit of which we do not expect to pluck. We are laying the foundations now for those who come after us. -A part of the foundation work was gotten under way in the recent cam paign. The superstructure will be built later.
