While the entire picture was! good, parts of it were exceptionally : lino. Tho sceneB pf the large pack or ' hounds dashing through the woods .uni occasional glimpses of the fox it- ?

A day that broke cloudy and threat ening yesterday and moderately cold turned off fuir m the afternoon und brought about the coldest weather that has been felt here this winter. A stiff, biting wind sprang up and drove the chilly atmosphere through thc heaviest wraps and overcoats. As consequence of the uncomfortable weather, few people were on the streets during the afternoon. The streets last night were all but desert ed. Early in the ?vening the mud which holds undisputed sway in An derson streets, began freezing and by midnight was frozen so stiff ono could walk over what were puddles of liquid mud but a few hours before.

Story from Walhalla To a Green ville Paper Goeot Into Detail. The following account of the recent trouble at Fair Play when two or more negroes were killed and sever.il wounded and some four or Uve white men wounded was sent out rrom Wal halla and published in the Greenville Daily Piedmont of last Thuradsy: No official information has as yet been given out as to the deplorable tragedy that took place near Fair Play during Sunday as the result of which two negroes. Green Gibson and his son George, are dead and a third. Tom Spright, la sahl to be seriously injur ed, having been beaten up. Spright is in the handa of Sheriff Sidney john son of Hart county, Georgia, who is keeping him safely until tile trouble at Fair Play blows over. Detailed information mgcrdint; thu horrible affair is hard to got and 'here are many rumors concerning the trou ble. From* sources deemed reliable, thi3 information is given: It seems to be thc general opinion that whiskey is at the hoitom of the whole ghastly affair. Whlh? the kill ing of Green Gibson took place 'n the afternoon of Suuday the beginning of the trouble was early ir the morning when Woodrow Campbell, who lives near Townvllle, went to the homo of Tom Spright, awakening him apd telling him, "Get up from there and let'p go to Georgia." Tao negro de murred, but ho WHS taken auynay and it is .saiil that the white man compelled three negro men to go along and do the beating of Tom Spright The crowd seemed to Increase In size as the party moved toward Georgia. While the angry crowd wa3 stauding in the road near Knox bridge, George Gibson and his brother carno alon,; in a buggy and ashed the white men to let them pass. They informed the ne groes that they knuw when to let them go on. About ibis time one of the white men walked up to the ruggy In which the negroes were riding and said: "We want this one," .'orkir.g George Gibson from the buggy and hitting him over the head with pistols. He and Tom Spright ?vere carried across the bridge to tho Georgia side and the negroes were whipped by the three negroes brought along by Camp bell, being given In the neighborhood of 300 to 400 lashes each with buggy traces. They would whip nue t while and make the other stand JU ide and get sore, as they raid, and then whip him again. Finally both hegroes fell exhausted. The negroes were carried by white friends to the barn of Mack Craw ford, about a quarter of a mlle away, but died some time during Sunday night. Spright also spent the night In Mr. Crawford's barn. In the mean time, the young Gibson negro, who was accompanying his brother George, turned his buggy around and went back for his father, Green Gibson, who lived on Allen Merrel's place. The boy and his father soon returned with shot guns to the bridge, where the men were still engaged on"* the opposite sido of the river in beating George Gibson and ' Tom Spright Green Gibson, the father cf George Gibson, and his younger so J opened fire on the crowd with shot guns while they were still beating George Gibson. Some 25 or 30 shots were exchanged between the Gibsons, who were under cover, of the bridge .and the white men on the. Georgia aide. The Gibsons fin ally retreated from the bridge. The white men followed'* in. pursuit and late in the afternoon Green Gibson ! was shot to death on the place ot Magistrate McClure and his body was . seen by numbers of people who pass- ( ed, lying out In a cotton field on the McClure place. His shot Min had been taken away from him and beaten to , pieces over his head and was lying broken by bia rigid form. The body remained where it fell until Monday night or possibly longer. Tbe white men who received Injuries in the fray are reported as follows: Magistrate McClure, who bi said to bar? about 30 rhot in thc face and. head; Woodrow Campbell and Marett, both only slightly wounded by scattering shot, snd John McDonald, who IB said to have one eye shot out Sheriff John W.
