Negro War. s One of the largest trials before m Justice of Peace that was pro bk ply ever tried in this county ws tried on last Friday before Justices of Peace J. M. O'Briant ahdYW. I. Newton. V The case grew out of a fight which occured on Sunday May 3lst at Young's Chapel, a colored church in Flat Jfciver Township, where there were about 1500 ne- ii- .. groes assembled. It being a min isters convention and the preach ing-of a well known negro funer al, jf? 1 Ihe trouble occured during the afternoon session. It appeared tpat a negro Graham Pettiford in dctying thru the church ; grounds ith two negro girls in. buggy with him,ran his buggy against a ne&ro,' Doss Rogers. Wor4s and tjlSws ensiled, the Rogers fighting 6hthe one side and the Pettifords oft the othen In .' this mix up it appeared that the mother of some fiht and dii very elective ' worK with a knife and stick. The fight continued for several minutes and until some one fired a pistol in the crowd, then there was a temporary cessation of hos tilities, until the warriors could arm themselves and return to bat tle. The two warring factors then went back together and 40 or 50 negroes were evidently en gaged in the fight for half an hour. All three Rogers boys were cut and man3' of the Petti fords scared and wounded. It was apparent that there was liqu or nearby and that some of the fighters had had their dose. About 50 witnesses wTere exam ined before the court for the de fense "and state. .The defendants were as follows: Doss Rogers, Joe Rogers, Alex Rogers, Will Moore, Graham, Pettiford, Robert Pettiford, Seely Pettiford, Lula Pettiford, Cook Pearce, Luther Pettiford, Lewis Oakley, Bessie Pettiford and Sid ney Pettiford. Att'y L. M. Carlton was em ployed by the church crowd to prosecute all the defendants and warrants were drawn against each for assault and disturbing religi ous worship. Messrs. W. D. Merritt, Carver & Winstead and M. C. Winstead represented the various defend- a ants. Fully five hundred people at tended the trial which was not finished until eleven o'clock Fri day night. The court bound each of the de fendants over for the .next term of the Superior court in 2 cases. Many of these negroes will bear the scars of this battle for years to come. It looked like a small edition of Mexico fighting in this county. ness which will be duly appreciat ed by the Old Vets. These Veter ans, the noblest of God's creation, are fast answering the last roll call and nothing we can do for them is too good for them. We delight in seeing bouquets handed them now rather than wait until they are laid in their graves. Mr. J. A.
