?Shooting by Both Parties.
Columbia Record.
Lust night Bishopville was in
a turmoil ol exoit ment. A bMid
of armed men r< de info the town
with the announced purpose ol
lynching a negro, Jim DessanMire,
in jail.
The sheriff had cotton word
of the attempt and prepared for
it. As tne mob came tip he and
several deputies opened uro and
the mob responded, but evident
ly feeling th<?t they were not
equal to an attack on a fortilied
piaee they withdrew. As a mailer
of fact, it is said, that the
sheriff' and his posse tired over
the heads of ttie mob, but that
a as sufficient, as the sequ 1
showed. The town naturalh
was much aroused in the imme
diute vicinity ot tlie jail. Other
citizens not knowing what whs
eoui? on rang church bells so as
to bring out nil the male inhabi
tants. There was the intell ect
excitement, but no bloodshed.
The 1> ucliimr party disappeared
quicker than it came, and affairsoon
alter quieted down.
Three weeks ago tin- negro in
j il attempted to assassinate a
Mr. Manic-, -hooting him through
lie lungs. There was a good
deal of excitement then, but
nothing unusual happened and
later the negio was arrested.
Be s >u o means the negro st cur*
d a long c rd in his cell and
let it down to the ground. A
c iTederate placed a heavy iron
bar on it which was drawn in.
i Yi*st'nlay morning in the jailor
nierod tiie c"ll the negro made
a murder-m assault upon him.
He was too strong f..r the negro,
to"k 'hQ bar Irom him and near
' ly be ?t him to death. ThiscausI
e' much feeling in Hie town and
I vicinity and was the immediate
cauee of the vi3:t of the mob to
^ the jail.
