SEVERAL PERSONS WOUNDED. White Man Shot by a NegroA Hand to Hand Conflict Military Called Ont. Two Negro Ringleaders Arrested. No Farther Trouble. ' By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Columbians. C, August 7. There was little sleeping done in Greenville, S. C, last night. . Negroes and whites were armed and a genuine irace war at one time seemed inevitable. A negro named Zack Brown was arrested by a crowd of operatives from the Poe cot ton mill on the charge of having fired into the house of an operative. The man was taken to jail but it was re ported, at the negro churches, where services were in progress, that the mill feoplewere going to lynch Brown, n an-incredibly short time the churches were empty and the ne groes appeared in the mill quarter un der arms. There has been no trouble between the races since a negro was lynched there for murder five years ago, but they seemed to be- prepared for an emergency. The sheriff could -do nothing. He told the negroes Brown was safe in jail, but they refused to believe him. In the meanwhile the whites had . armed and were on the streets, while the military company assembled atthe armory and was served ammunition. There was some firing in the heart of the town and between squads of the two races on the out skirts. Several men are reported wounded. . Two negro leaders, one a preacher, were finally persuaded to go to the jail and satisfy themselves as to Brown being there. This they did and at the same time the militia company was called out The announcement of Brown's safety was made early in the morning and the hostile parties began to scatter. Another Account. Greenville, S. C, August 7. Ben Odam, a prominent young man of this place, and John McClinton, a negro, were wounded in a fierce battle between the white people and negroes living in the vicinity of. the Poe and Sampson cotton mills near here late last night. Odam was shot in the jaw. and the negro, besides being con siderably bruised, was struck in the wrist by a bullet. J. U. Uouncn, a white man. had his suspenders cut by a shot and his clothing was piercejd by three other bullets in his efforts to save Odam. Four other negroes were wounded, but being taken immediately by their friends to avoid arrest, the nature of their injuries or their identity could not be learned. Zack Moore, one ' of the gang, who started the trouble, is in jail. yesterday afternoon wnile operative Greenburg. of the Poe milL with his family, were at the dining table, sev eral snots were tired into nis House. Mo one was struck, but Greenburg be gan to search for the would-be assas sins.' Zack Moore was the only one cap tured. He was placed in the county sail here. Word was sent by messen gers to the . negro churches, and the couriers reported that a negro had been lynched at the Poe milL The churches were soon deserted and the negroes, arming themselves with shot guns, revolvers, axes and other dan gerous implements, went to the mill. The sheriff and chief of police could not persuade them that Moore was in jail, and one of the number said, ''We will kill the chief of police if Moore is lynched." m A Hand to Hand Conflict. There were about twenty-hve ne groes in the crowd, and as many mill operatives, armed with guns, gath ered with the intention of dispersing the negroes. The negroes attempted to attack four white men, when the other operatives came to their assist ance and the row continued for some time. In many places it was a hand- to-hand conflict. Many shots were fired, but the greater number of in juries were inflicted with clubs. At 2 o'clock this morning the militia was called out. and Rev. J. A. Pinson, pastor of the Mount Zion colored .bap tist church, went to the jail. Here he found Moore, and coming back told the negroes Moore was safe, which ended the trouble. The effect of the military was to cause the negroes to disperse. There was some excitement to day, but all is quiet to-night. Ringleaders Arrested. Two of the negro ringleaders were arrested to-day. This caused more ex citement among the negroes. The negroes threatened to lynch the negro minister, Pinson, wno actea as peace maker last mcht. At 11 o'clock there was no evidence of further trouble, but the Governor was asked to order the local militia to hold itself at the disposal of the sheriff, and this he did. LYNCHING IN VIRGINIA.

Ben Thompson, colored,, twenty years of aee. was lynched at 11.30 o clock to- nitrht for attemntiner an assault upon Lillian Clarke, the eieht-year old daughter of Edward Clarke, residing on Patrick street. The police made a determined effort to prevent 'the mob which gathered around the jail about about 11 o'clock from obtaining pos session of the prisoner, but were un successful. The door was broken in, and during the scuffle which ensued Chief of Police Webster was hurt. The prisoner was found in the cellar of the building and brought out, but the report became current that he was not tne man ana ne was reieaseu. tie had gone but a short distance, how ever, when the mob concluded that Thompson was the man they were looking for, and after a short chase he was captured and strung up to an electric light pole. The prisoner was roughly handled on the way to the place of the hanging, his clothing be ing cut almost to shreds. During the scenes at the front of the jail Mayor Simpson addresselthe crowd, imploring them to leave the prisoner alone and promising to call the grand jury for early action on the case, but his pleadings were without avail. .

The Crop Bulletin For the week ending Monday, August 7th, says that notwithstanding a few unsatisfactory reports, it is impossible not to be impressed with the present favorable outlook for crops as indi cated by the remarks of crop corre spondents. Cotton continues generally in excellent condition, and where in jured by drought has improved since the rains. It is shedding considerably, but the damage must be confined to limited areas, as only 17 per cent, of the total reports received mention shedding. The amount of rust is in significant. In the extreme south a few bolls have opened. Tobacco has advanced favorably; the early crop is maturing in the north-central portion and late crop is making good weed; topping is over. The cures or tobacco have been generally successful, and the dry, warm weather was favorable for the work. Special Star Telegram. Two Suits Against the Southern R. R. Two suits have been brought against the Southern railway for failure to provide separate accommodations for passengers, as provided by the "Jim Crow" car law. The complainant in one case is E. M.

IT IS MORE COMPACT. Mr. D. E. Askew, of Georgia, says every farmer stands in his own light if he does not change his press box to -24x54. . . . MThe square bale (24x64; is mucn more convenient, it being more com pact. Besides, it makes a neat pack age, and I think every ginner, also far mer, are standing in their own light by ixot changing their press box and de manding their cotton put up in the standard bile. I see some one, prob ably ginners, are complaining on the grounds that it would be difficult to pack a bale weighing 500 pounds in a box 24x54. To this I will say that I was under the same impression, but I can say by experience that I never was so badly mistaken about anything in mv life. I found no trouble to pack from 500 to 600 pounds to the bale. am well pleased with the change, and it thaw was not sucn a miner as a standard bale, and r had to buihla press, knowing what I do, I certainly would maise n much more convenient."

POPE BROWN'S ADDRESS The White Mao and the Negro at the Part ing of the Ways Should Assist the Negro to Leave the Country. . Whites Must Rule. ; By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Quitman, Ga., August 9. At the meeting of the Georgia State Agricul tural Society here to day the race pro blem came prominently to the front as a . topic of discussion. Hon. Pope Brown, president of the society, an ex tensive And prosperous planter of the State, asserted that the white man and the negro are at the parting of the ways, and said the former should assist the latter in his efforts o leave this country. That portion of his annual address on the negro question was loudly applauded. In this connection he was also bold and unequivocal in declar ing that the South shpuld stop toady ing to the North. Mr. Brown said in part: "It is be-' tween the white people of the South and the negroes of the South. The South-haters of the North are at the bottom of all the trouble, and we need not .flatter ourselves that these South haters are few and far between. There are plenty of them. In my opinion the majority of them have no use for us, except when they think they are making something out of us. Mr. Thurber, of New York, rendered us a great service a few days ago by tell ing us exactly what he and his people think of us. I think it is time we were letting them alone. Quit running after them. Then quit toadying to them. The small politician also causes fric tion between the races. By submitting every question county , municipal and State to a white primary, this trouble could be averted and better govern ment would be secured in all cases. "The leaders of the negro race are preaching discontent, and whether the scheme of colonization is practical or not I am not prepared to say ; but I do Deneve mat n is id iuo interest, ui mo people of the South to aid and abet the negro in his efforts to leave us. A few days ago when certain prominent citi zens were called on by the press to say how we should protect our families against certain crimes there was a re sponse that seemed to meet the ap proval of the press. It was this: 'Make a miniature arsenal of every country home.' I say if it has come to that, it is time for the parting of the ways. Shall we part in peace or strife! I would say peace and let us stand not upon the cost." Among other speakers was. non. Hoke Smith, of Atlanta who discuss ed "Practical education." ALEXANDRIA LYNCHING.

At one time futures were selling at a net advance of sixteen to nineteen points. The market opened firm at an advance of one to two points and prices steadily advanced until the above high point was reached. The improvement was due to the favorable character of the foreign cables gener ally and the confusing, yet generally bullish purport ci recent crop ac counts. From private cables it was learned that English sentiment re flected much concern on the part Of shorts through " fears that the true situation of the cotton crop in this country had been misrepresented, and foreign buying Orders also became a factor in the ! upward movement. Wall street and the South were gener ous buyers all I day, the former be lieved to be fori investment account. The market closed steady at an ad vance of eleven to thirteen points.
