The Toners and the Booths are two families who have lived since our earliest recollection in tho country immediately East of Tino House. Thc Toneys arc people of means ; the Bootha are poor. In lS(il?, in Ku Klux times, lien Booth shot and killed young Luther Toney. For ibis be was tried, convicted of manslaughter, and served two or three years in the penitentiary. Since thou a vengeful fen 1 bas existed between the two families, and ever and anon the Booths have sought a difficulty willi the Toneys. They came to- Edgelield on Monday morning-live of them-with tho openly avowed design of killing Brooker Toney. And tho result is that Brooker Toney, James Booth and Tom Booth are lying in bloody graves, wh?!e Ben Booth and Mark Toney are lying low of their wounds. In this there is no political pastor, nor sudden blood thirstness inflamed uy liquor. None ol the.-e men were drunk.
