Tho following account of the recent trouble at Fair IMay when two or more negroes were killed and Bever.il wounded and Rome four or ?lve white men wounded was Kent out from Wal halla und published in the Greenville Daily Piedmont of last Thursday: No olticiul Information has ns yet been Riven out us to the deplorable truKudy I hut took place near Fair Play during Sunday as the- result of which two negroes, Ureen GlliBon and his Kon George, arc dead und a third, Tom Spricht. Ih said to ba seriously Injur ed, having been beuten up. SpriKht in In the hands of Sheriff Sidney John son of Hart county, Georgia, who Is keeping him safely until the trouble at Fair Play blows over. \ Detailed information rogr.rdlnt; the horrible affair is hurd to get and there are many rumors concerning the trou ble. From sources deemed reliable, this information la given: It seems to be the general opinion that whiskey Is at the bottom of the whole ghastly affair. While the kill ing or Green Gihson look place in the ! afternoon of Sunday the beginning of the trouble was earlv Ir the morning , when Woodrow Campbell, who lives ! near Townvllle, went to the home of ; Tom Spricht, awakening him and I telling him, "Get up from there and ! lot's go to Georgia." T;io negro de I murrcd, but ?i>? was taken any way Iand it is said that thu white . man compelled three negro men to go along and do the heating of Tom Sprlght The crowd seemed lo Incrense In size as the party moved toward Georgia. While the angry crowd \v;n standing In the road near Knox bridge, George Gibson and his hrothor camu along In a buggy and asked the white men to let them pass. They Informpd the ne groes that they knew when to let them go on. About this lime one of the white men walked up to the ruggy In which the negroes were riding and Bald: "Wn want this one," Jerking George Gibson from the buggy nnd hitting him over the, head with' pistols. He and Tom Sprlght were carried across the bridge to the Georgia aide and the negroes were whipped by the three negroes brought along by Camp boll, being given In the neighborhood of 300 to 400 lashes each with ?nigRy traces. They would whip one i while and make the other stand aiddo and get sore, hb they said, and then whip "I him again. Finully both negroes fell exhausted. Tho uegrooB were carried by white friends to the barn of Mack Craw ford, about a quarter of a mile away, but died some time during Sunday night. Sprlght also spent the night in Mr. Crawford'n barn. In the mean time, the young Gibson negro, who was uccompunyiug his brother George, turned his buggy around and went back for his father, Green Gibson, who lived on Allen Marret's place. Tho hoy and his father soon returned with shot guns to the bridge, where the men wore still engaged on tho opposlto sldo of the river in beating George Gihson and Tom Sprlght. Green Gibson, tho father of George Gibson, and his younger son opened tiro on the crowd with shot guns while they were still beating George Gibson. Some 25 or SO shots were exchanged between tho Gibsons, who were under cover, of the bridge ,nnd the white men on tho Georgia side. The Gibsons fin ally retreated from the bridge. The whlto men followed In pursuit and lato In tho afternoon Green Gibson was shot to death on the place of Magistrate McClure and his body was seen by numbers of people who pass ed, lying out in a cotton field on tho McCluro place.-. His shot gun had been taken away from him and beaten to pieces over Mb head and was lying broken by his rigid form; The body remained where It fell until Monday night or possibly longer. The whlto men who received injurlos In the fray are reported as follows: Magistrate McClure, who is said to have about 30 shot in the face and head; Woodrow Campbell and Marett, both only slightly wounded by scattering shot, nnd John McDonald, who is said to have one eye shot out. Sheriff John W. Davis, of Oconee, has been on the scene now for the ' past 48 hours, but no word has come from him save that at present all is quiet In the Fair Play section.

THE "MORNING AFTER" IN RECORDER'S COURT DIVERS TALES OF WOE LIFT ED UP AT THE BAR OF JUSTICE. MOSTLY NEGROES Old Booze Responsible for Prac tically All the Devil ment Done. At that hour uf the day (supposed to divide the ascending course of the sun Jrom the going down thereof. His Honor. Judge I). H. P.UBsel, slowly drew the ermine of office about his stalwart Shoulders and sut calmly down at the bar of Justice in the re corder's court, to give ear to woeful tales horn of Yuletide celebration not wisely indulged In. To sift through tho chaff that al ways piles high about that for which philosophers have given their lives in vain searching and tind the kernel of truth h id den in these tales of tho "morning after" was not so arduous u ta.sk yesterday for the recorder as Is .sometimes the case. For it was a day of confessions of sins committed aguinst tho statutes of the common wealth, nnd there was little left for the judge to do hut dole out punish ment to tho self-confessed, euch mor tal according to his deserts, us was, in the judicial eye cf the judge, meet and proper. The court crier lifted up his voice and summoned Jim Crawford and Charlie Thompson, both being of the genus "baboonus." But one hearken ed to the call, tills being Jim Craw ford, and he answered for the very excellent reason that he had beeu'hcld since Thursday without bond. The other individual lie f h sorely wounded, ills flesh having been carved into sev eral fantastic designs by a fellow mortal, said to be Crawford. The bit of carving was done last Thursday morning as the two negroes were ar riving in the city from Starr, on tho C. & W. C. train. When advised of the charges against him, those of fighting and disorderly conduct, and asked what he had to say for himself, Crawford blandly replied "not guilty." At tills juncture of the proceedings, however, it was decided to continue the case until next Monday. Now cometh before the court Will Frazier, of color the antithesis of the driven ,snow, and with a cranium like unto a bullet-in shape, charged with conduct unbecoming to a citizen of his social standing, to wit, drunk enness. Frazier. too, realized the sol emn truth of this, and announced to the court that he was guilty. A fine of ?5 or 10 was the result. Giving expression to his feelings in language that is not exactly In keep ing with what one would expect in a drawing room was responsible for Lincoln Lewis, of ginger cake hue,1 being hauled before the court Lincoln pleaded not guilty of the charges, but the preponderance of evidence'was in favor of the prosecution, therefore, Lev/is escaped not A statement from a physician that the negro had just re covered from a case of typhoid and would not be able to work were ho sent to the chningang had weight with the recorder, and procured for the of fender a suspended sentence of $r. or 10 days. Advancing to tho bar with solemn ity of manner. Andrew Calhoun, of col ored denomination, frankly admitted that he had been on a-"good old Christinas drunk,'" for which lie was punished in tho sbape of a fine of S5 or 10 days on the good old cbaingang. Meli Ivery, likewise a son of Ham, also admitted thut ho had imbibed too freely of that fluid which steals away the reason of man and sometime makes of a perfectly normal negro a veritable jackass, roaming about the earth seeking whom he may offend. In this instance he offended only the dig nity of the law. and' suffered thereby a sentence of $5 or 10 days of crack ing rocks, Had Henry Dial as much gray mat ter in his head as he had whiskey in his stomach Thursday night, tho chances ,uro he would not have been ushered beforo the recorder on the charge of drunkenness. Henry ad mitted that he had lost his scat on the water wagon, and the recorder handed out to him a sentence of 15 or 10 days on the public works Of the city. A white man by the name of Y. H. Moss was brought before the court on divers charges, namely, drunkenness, loud swearing and disorderly conduct One witness testified that the whole trouble was that Moss "took too much whiskey and went crazy." Going crazy is alright at times, but when that state is deliberately brought about by one taking on too much "cat oye'? it Is a violation of . the law. The recorder sentenced htm to pay,a fine of $:> or serve 10 days. v Several cases on the docket were carried over until Monday, as the al leged offenders, who understood when arrested, that there would be no sea-, alon of the court on Saturday, wore not on hand. . ? - MONET OTf, CALL.

(Jetting ready for Christmas may be lots of fun for the women folks, but the fellow who wears the jeans doesn't get much fun out of the preparations j And this year it has been a, genuine I religion teat for most of them. You see the weather has been so rough the wearer of the jeans could not stay out of doors, and it wasn't any better in town. So the dally program goes something like this: "John get up; it's five o'clock, I have got to bake t cake, as soon as I have finished break feast." John gets up and goes through the usual turn of errands, and chores finishes breakfast, builds a good lire und sits down to read, only to be in terrupted with "please John get some stove wood." "Beat these eggs," "O, My! The water bucket is empty, "John listen at those pigs crying for break fast, and the chickens need water.' "John get tho baby out of the way." Perhaps, John reads one column dur ing the morning, is fed on mush and baked potatoes for dinner, sweet milk 1 and cok-nbrcad for supper.
