Uvaldia, Ga., July 5. —Three negroes were killed and many wounded in a clash with whites at a construction camp near this place. The negroes &t the camp here have been very insolent in their remarks about Jeffries for some time and were boasting that Johnson, would kill the white man. The negroes were drinking and their conduct so enraged the white people of Uvaldia that a party was formed to clean out the camp. As they appeared at the camp the white men were met by volley after volley' of shots from the negroes, but no one was wounded. The white people returned the fire, killing there negroes and wounding five others. Thd feeling is very bitter and whites say they intend to run the negroes out of the county.
