Special to the News and Observer.
Rocky Mount, Feb. 20. C?pt.
'Henry Thorpe received yesterday,
through the postoffice, a notice saying
if the Light Infantry were under arms
last night every single member would
be killed, sooner or later, if the negroes
had to shoot them, one by one, from
ambush. A notice received, by the .
Farmers' Alliance said the way and
the only way to stop the fire was to
send a purse of three or four hundred
dollars to Professor Martin, of Peters
burg. Martin is the negro sub exo
dus agent, who was advised to leave
town last. week. The threats are con
sidered idle, but they show the ani
mus. ' v . " "... ' ' . t. "
"An' exchange says- There is no
doubt that the fire was incendiary, and
of the incendiaries being negroes, and
some of whom are angry at the action
of some of the whites in running the
emigration agents out of town, there
by preventing the negroes from exo
dusting. The! negroes have been hold
ing meetings, alleged to be Knights of
Labor meetings, but it is thought
these meetings have some connection
with the fires. . Then some of the
negro women have been heard, to say
the fires would not have occurred but
for the action of the whites in prevent
ing the negroes leaving.
