BLOODY TIMES.
Conflicting reports come of a seri
ous war between the races at Waha
: lak, a little Mississippi town. One
report is that twelve white men were
lulled on one side and one hundred
: and fifty negroes on the other side.
This report has been contradicted by
report which places the number of
whites killed at six and the number
, of the negroes at twenty. The affair
- appears to have originated in this
way: Some two months ago a white
farmer. living a few miles from the
almost desolate village, lost his gin
bouse, together with ' eight or ten
' bales of cotton, by fire, which was
evidently incendiary. Suspicion was
v directed to one or two negroes living
. in the vicinity, with whom the farmer
, , bad had some trouble. Officers in
' the meantime had been searching for
, evidence against the negroes. At a
" late hour last Sunday night, suf
ficient evidence having been secured.
one of the negroes was approached
by an officer, who demanded that he
surrender. The negro became furi
ous, and terribly assaulted the offi
cer, after which he made his escape.
This outrage on an officer of the law
justly aroused the indignation of the
. few white citizens in the neighbor
hood, who organized themselves to
capture, not to mob, the scoundrel
. ine woods in the vicinity were
scoured, but without result. Not
trace of him could be found, and it
was decided by the posse to act in a
body and surround the house. They
- bad proceeded only a few miles in
the direction of the negro's house
when from an ambush came a deadly
volley. Fifty well armed negroes
composed the mob. After every
white man had fallen to the ground
the negroes dispersed.
This outrage created the greatest
indignation, and a large force ot
whites was soon banded together.
when a pitched battle occurred be
tween the two forces. Government
aid has been sent to the scene, and
the trouble is ended, at least for the
, present.
POETS DEFENDER.
Dr. John J. Moran. of Fall
Church, Va., died in Washington on
Thursday morning. The News and
Courier nys that he was widely
known throughout literary circles for
n defence of the poet Edgar Allen
Poe, and always insisted that his
death was not the result of alcohol
fcm, as had been charged. Dr.
. Moran attended the dying hours of
the poet when the latter was brooght
t patient to the hospital in Balti
ssore, of which be was then partly in
charge. His en th Miasm for Poe and
his writings became a strong factor
ia his after career. He was able to
repeat all of Pee's poems. Poe s
death and its attendant circumstances
were made the subject of a lecture,
which Dr. Moran delivered suceess
mBy ia many parti of this country,
.and lately he had arranged to con
tinue his lecture tour in New York
and Boston.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Sua says: "Mr.
Sanfbrd's nomination as Minister to
Paris is regarded as very unlikely
here. Mr Sanford, while Minister
to Belgium, was accused of being A
party to a sale of condemned cloth
ingv which turned out a very ugly
transaction. Whether it was proved
on him or not, it defeated him for
renomtnation to his post. He be
came quite prominent socially during
the Arthur administration, and a
great deal was printed in the news
papers regarding Mr. Sanfbrd's
Florida orange grove and Mrs. San
ford's superb diamonds; but no mat
ter how immaculate Mr. Sanford
may be, he won't get the Paris mis
sion. That is destined for some
active partisan who helped to whoop
it up before the election."
Forty thousand dollars of Repub
lican campaign funds sent out for use
in Indiana, have been stolen, or I
rather were 'stolen during the cam
paign. The loss was only recently
discovered. The men who raised
the money are now threatening to
send some of their party friends to
the penitentiary. Those who send
out money to buy the voters never
know how much of it is stolen, to tell
the truth, and it is only occasionally
that fraud in handling fraudulent
money is brought to light
A rumor prevails in Baltimore that
the New York Syndicate who now
control the Baltimore and Ohio rail
way are desirous of depressing the
value of the stock so that thev may
absorb the big blocks of it owned by
that city and the John Hopkins Uni
versity. However, these corpora
tions will hardly consent to be frozen
out in the way indicated.
It is now said that New York State

Buy your Christmas Goods before
the great rush. We have already
sold more than we handled last year.
By showing these goods up stairs we
have room for them and there is no
question but the selection is first
class. One month now until stock taking
time, and we shall close out every
thing possible and clean up for the
new year. Our tremendous sales
this year are unprecedented in the
city of Charlotte and now during
this the Uit month of the twelve, we
can afford to take cost for our stock.
Many things will be sold for less.
The stock is too large in many lines
and this accumulation must go.
Why not ? Had we not better make
prices to force it out than carry it
over ? We have the most majjnifi.
cent stock we ever carried, but the
goods don't get any better by lying
here and they never wilL We bought
them to sell, not to keep.
aoo Overcoats, all Grades.
350 Suits.
1,000 Pairs of Pants.
We simply mean to close these
out by January 1st
Now people who don't know us
very weu are apt to say " Oh, that
is only an advertisement, the goods
will be sold as before." But those
who know us understand perfectly
well and already know when we say
the knife must go into any line of
goods in the house it will go. Now
Cloaks and Furs will be sold the
same way Too many of them and
they must go. So it is in many
lines.
Our stock of Men's Fine I'nder- ;
wear ts too large, and although we
are selling it at about one h.iif the
regular price we have instruct e ! tbe
salesmen in that department In close
it out regardless of what it cmt. We
bought $2,000 worth of fine under
wear at wnat it cost at wholesale lor
$1,000, and can afford to sell it
cheap. All Children's I'nderwear
at cost. We dont want to carry
these goods over and shall not if you
want them at any price.
By reason of a recent heavy pur
chase we have reduced PLkfs to jets.
