Rumors were flying thick and fast
n on the streets Tuesday morning of a
bloodv affray that was about to take
is
place at Blythewood. The rumors
es were seemingly confirmed when the
0? Judge received a telegram from that
eg place requesting the Sheriff and
as a posse be sent to preserve the peace.
^ His Honor immediately directed the
Sheriff to summon the posse and go to
n- Blythewood and at the same time
es wired the intendant to preserve the
" ~ Vvn r?r> r?/I C WllA O'Af i hlfi
II2 p L'ilUC (Ht Cii I IT UV Q Vt< \u*v
& telegram is not known, for we learn
ae that Blythewoed doesn't indulge in
to such a luxury, nor has she done so for
r- three years. When the Sheriff and
as posse arrived on the scene there was
;h no sign of a pitched battle as had been ree.
ported, but nevertheless the exciteid
ment ran high. In order to get at the
,s- exact truth a reporter of this paper
id went to Blythewood aud got the folo
lowingfacts:
is Thomas HofFman, a young man
y. about twenty-one years old, had been
[e paying 'marked attentions to Miss
ie Hattie Hoeau, the seventeen-year-old
ig daughter of Capt. J. D. Ilogan. The
is young couple became engaged and
to were to be married. On the 13th
to January, the youug lady became a
e- mother. Hoffman proved unfaithful,
and left for parts unknown. Capt.
jjm Hogan left shortly after him and traveled
three thousand miles in search
of him, but returned and remained
*r quiet uutil lately.
ie He called upon Mr. Chas. G. Hoffc"
man and told him that he was responsible
for the conduct ot his brother
Tom. This, Mr. Hoffman denied, and
ir" some very hot words passed but no
blows. Everything was then quiet
'= until Monday* On that day Capt. Holl~
gan cowhided Jas. C. Hoffman, whom
Capt. Hogan heard had made damage<^
ing statements about his lamily. Ac3e
cording to Mr. Hoffman, he was riding
_er along the road when the Capt. stepped
Lr* ontand with a shotgun ordered him to
P" stop. With the gun still drawn he
savs the Captain pulled a horsewhip
leu v>?e -vr>o<- on/l ofi-nr-ir him several
11V/U1 U1C MI*4M WW? ...
ne times. In reference to this Capt.
id. Hogan says he whipped him thorougher
ly on the streets of- Blythewood, and
*n told him he was going to do so before
!nt he commenced. Jack Hoffman was
;n? also reported to Hogan as having made
im some insulting remarks about Hogan's
on family. In company with W. W.
^r* Cloud, Capt. Hogan went to hunt him
C(* and found him five miles out. He
uo called him out and told him what' his
business was and proceeded to whip
him in fronf of Mr. Mars Cooper's
19 House. Capt. Hogan says Hoffman
?ut made no resistance, but begged pite
- 1 * n
ia- ously. ilotimau, on tne otner iiauu,
,nd insists that he was terroi'ized by Cloud's
as Winchester rifle, but notwithstanding
on this he says he told Capt, Hogan in
lis very plain language what he thought
nts of him. The Hoffman brothers natuted
rally feeling aggrieved at the treatde-1
ment they had received, prepared lor
i wur. They accordingly armed thcmjht
j seives wi h shot-guns and patroled the
es. j road in frout of Capt. Hogan's house

emphatically denies this, and says,
moreover that what Gibson might say
ivnril/? hp nf nr. rtnn<wrn tn him. Our
readers will have to form their own
judgment in this matter.
The Sheriff foand no nse for his
posse. He placed Chas. G. and Butler
Hoffman under arrest and they were
brought to "Winnsboro, where they
gave bond to appear before the grand
jury. The Sheriff and two deputies
remained and arrested W. TV. Cloud
and Jack Hoffman, who were also
brought to "Winnsboro. They all
appeared before the grand jury and
I were all bound over to keep the peace,
including Capt. Hogan, who came up
on Monday morning of his own accord.
But for the prompt interposition
of the law there would have no
doubt been bloodshed. All the parties
concerned are of the highest respectability,
and this unhappy affair
will be deeply regretted.
"We have thus given both sides of
the affair, but leave all to form their
own judgment.

DOTS FROM MOSSY BALE.
The farmers are making every edge '
cat by way of pushing their work
ahead considering the small amount
of good weather they have to plough
in.
The guano and mule purchase is far
ahead of anything of the kind for sev-"
eral years. I hope they may not prove
disastrous, but I fear if there should
be a short crop made and a low price
for cotton, the sheriff or some good
auctioneer will reach a bonanza next
fall.
1 have just learned of the attempted
abduction of a child which happened
aoout ItlU 1USI. U1 UIC uiuuil. i.ub
case, as I have it, is as follows: It
happened at Mrs. Tidwell's. Sbe had
gone into the field to attend to the
sewing of some oats. With her some
of her children had gone leaving a
daughter about fourteen years old and
some smaller children at the house,
including her youngest child, about
two years of age. Her daughter, while
in the kitchen, heard some one halloo
and came out to sec who it was.
When sbe reached the corner of the
house what should she see but a negro
man starting off with the child, having
its head under his arm, and thfe child
choked so that it could not make any
noise. She became very much frightened,
but put on a bold facc and ordered
him to put the child down, but
tie only iaugneu sx ner auu ran iur tut:
woods. After going some distance
along the road he was closely pursued
that he took into a very thick piece of
woods and had gone about a quarter of
a mile when she approached close to
him. He turned and laughed at her,
and when threatened by the young
lady that if he did not release the
child she would shoot him, at the same
time making a demonstration as if to
"* ? * t - J u... ?

the negro ineu threw the child down
against a log mid van off. When it
was picked up it was speechless and
remained so for some time. After returning
to the house he made his appearance
in the edge of the woods.
Another negro man was just passing
by when he was called and shown the
man. He then ran. No one knew
him and there is still 110 clue to him.

LOXGTOWN ITE2IS.
As your Lougtown correspondent
in January seemed to ignore all farming
iuterests, that subject should be
first ,vith me, however little can be
said at this early season.
A large acreage has been planted in
spring oats. I hear that our friend
Mr. J. D. Harrison had twelve plows
putting in this crop a few days ago.
The fail grain is. looking well. I
notice the fine appearance of Mr. L.
T. Wilds' wheat and oats, both vigorous
and arrowing: rapidly, because so
well fertilized and put in ?like everything
he does in the farming line, well
done? and consequently successful
By the way, his younger brother,
Mr.Geo. Wilds, seems to be fast following
suit.
We have some enterprising young
farmers in Longtown, one of the most
successful of whom is Mr. Jno. P.
Jones, who seems to take the lead in
the introduction of improved farm implements.
I must be excused for
mentioning in this connexion the name
of ore of our old men farmers but by
no means old style, Mr. Jno. E. Robertson.
Progress is the order of his
I o-ninor in evervthinsr Dertaininjr to the

the intensive system in his individual
V
operations and no doubt will eujov
eminent success in the near future.
He took the lead iu the neighborhood
in terracing1, and has
just completed about three hundred
acres.
Our farmers have been busy the
past fortnight in cleaning up for the
'plow and in composting fertilizers.
They were decidedly inspirited by the
fair crop of last year, and indulge
strong hopes for the crop of 1888. Altogether,'farming
is looking up here
and we expect a~boom.
Our stauBch and public spirited old
citizen, Mr. Samuel MeCormick, gives
us renewed expectations of securing
the building of the Chester and Camden
Railroad through uur midst.

and the other by Mr. S. F. Cooper.
There is a good back country to this
place, and there is no reason why it
should not become a town'indeed.
The ladies of St. Stephens'' Church
gave a very pleasant entertainment
recently at the residence of Mr. W. J.
Davis. Some of the most pleasing
features of the evening were?tableaux
under the efficient management of
Mrs. Herbert Ruff, singing by Mrs.
Inn A nnorvni?toj anrl nthprs n. "hran
pie," refreshments, etc.; but the reading
of a selection from the Budget by
ilr. AV. S. Jones "brought down the
house." Mr. Jones read the selection
nicely, and when he came to exceedingly
humorous passages (where there
was a kind of hint at the ridiculous)
he acted so cleverly both in expression
and tone of voice that everybody,
even to the older men, like Dr. Edmunds,
"just brought their chins
down on. their breasts and' let :er
come." From a financial standpoint,
also, the catertaiuuient was eminently
a success, for there was no expense
about it, and the receipts amounted to
fifty dollars.
A few days after the church show
friend McDowell got up a dance. This
was by'far the most pleasant and successful
one of the season. The music
was furnished by Jim Kennedy, a
dancing-master from Columbia. "Senator
Woodward, who had intended
being present at the church show, but
was disappointed, honored us with
his nreseuce, and we were delighted
to see the leader of '76 going smoothly
through a quadrille or the lancers.
He didn't have on the official dignity
which so many officers try to wear,
but came right in and took a hand,
and by his social way made us all feel
easy with him, as well as pleased to
have him among us. The dance was
at Mr. Harry Desportes' residence.
Dr. Boyd, the School Commissioner4
visited our school some days ago. He
made a very happy lit Lie address to
the children, and then by a few practical
questions g3ve thenr more In-j
struction by far than they have received
at any one time this session.
He is certainly the right man in the
right place. Ilis visft here helped the
school a^reat deal, as the attendance
has been better ever since, and both
the children and the teacher have been
doing better work.
The Governor has appointed Mr.
R. A. Meares-a trial justice for this
district. The appointment is satisfactory
to the people here, as Mr. Meares
is a conscientious man, and is eminently
well qualified, not only to fill
that position, but any other. Mr.
Edward Palmer will act as deputy for
the present. For the enforcement of
the law to be in the hands of two
gentlemen like Messrs. Meares and
Palmer will tend to give t&at respect
for the law to the public mind which
is essential to the happiness, peace and
quiet of all communities. The law
hereafter will not be dealt out according
to likes and dislikes, but will be
administered according to law, equity
and good conscience. p.
