Columbia, June 22.?Special: At last the real trouble over the machinists' strike of the Southern Hallway has come, following upon the heels of the first bloodshed on Main street last night. The affair is the talk of the city to-day and there is more or less excitement. As a result a number of the non-union men are badly bruised and four of the attacking force have bullet holes in their bodies. Besides, one of the guards at the railroad shops has a flesh wound on his head. He was struck in the forehead with a pistol bullet 'which glanced instead of entering. This man's name is Myers, who was on duty along with a Mr. Dickert. Both were armed with shotguns. It was about 2.40 o clock this morning, when a perfect iusniaae 01 piaiui auu kuusuum inu6 out Inside the yards of the shops. Tbe yard ia enclosed by a high picket lence running aroand a space of several blocks. It appears that a party of about fifty or seventy-Jive men, wearing black, close-fitting musks, or having their laces blacked so that none could Identify tbem, went to tbe Laurel street side of tbe yard, and pulled ofi some of the palings of the fence in the rear of the carpenter shop, entering the company's premises. The story is to the effect that the men crossed tbe yard and encountered Watchman Myers, wbo tried to bait tbe intruders; that tbcy told him there were men in there who wanted to leave and they were going to escort them out. This story bas it also that Myer's gun was fired and then a general fusillade begau. Those who beard it say that there must have been about 150 or 200 shots tired. The men made lor one of tbe shanty cars in which the non-union workmen were sleeping and surroundlug It presented weapons, telling tbe men to come out and to fall into line. There were about twenty men In the car and tbey obeyed. The crowd then marched on out of the yard, going through tbe opening In the fence. Police Officer Fowler says be bad beard tbe shooting?about 150 shots?while be was about the station. He ran around to Laurel street, where he met the party. The men were In '* ~ *? i?' ?? fHail.t a/I onmu In f rrw? t Hue, me puny uciuk u> ? ?UUjV ,u and others behind the non-union men. The officer halted tbem, but was powerless, of course. He askejl the crowd to turn over the men to blm and let tbem take tbem to police heanquarters. This they declined to do. The officer begged tbe crowd not to iDjure tbem and weni on around and reported to police headquarters, as tbe crowd marcbed oil' and went in tbe direction of the railroad track, tbeuce going up tbe track out of tbe city. Tbe officer could not recognize any of the men ; all of tbem, he says, having on eltber black masks or havlug their faces blacked." Police Lieut. Swearlngton was notified as souu as possible and be reached tbe yard shortly after 3 o'clock. Everythlug was then quiet. Tbe crowd bad gone on out of tbe city with the non-union workmen. There were two other cars In the yard with non-nnlon men sleeping in them, but In some way tbe visitors failed to find tbem. As soon as possible Superintendent Welles reached his office and an eogine was '-hooked up." Upon It went Master Mechanic Sprowl, Trainmaster Maxwell and Yard Master Blanton. From four miles to seven miles from tbe city tbe engine picked up the non-union men who had been conducted to a point about two miles above the city and told to, move on. Most of tbem had been struct and beaten, so tbey said. In the crowd was the young fellow SllgU. wdo naa aireaay oeen oernnu down on Main street earlier Id the night. He had been severely handled again. The men came out of the woods all along the line of the seven-mile post. No attempt was made to Interfere with the engine as she went up. She returned to the olty about 6 o'clock with the non union men and steamed Into the yard without Interference on the part of any one. The police have been unable to make any arrests, no one seeming to have any idea who was In the party. Foor of the regulators, if they may be so termed, were wounded. Though three names have been given to The News and Courier Bureau, the party who gave them was not certain of them and would not allow them to be used. It was about 4 o'clock when Dr. Knowllon was called to a residence on Henderson street to attend a wounded member of the party. The man was snot In the centre of the left thigh. Dr. Knowlton did not examine the wound carefully before Dr. Owens arrived _ and the case was turned over to him. Dr. Knowltoo did not get the man's name. Dr. Owens likewise did not get the name of the wounded man, he said this afternoon. Ttia wound, he savs. was made by a 88 calibre ballel and be considers It a dangerous one. Wben Dr. Know 1 ton returned to his office he found another man with a bullet bole through tbe palm of one of bis hands and some bird shot over bis right eve. He dressed this man's wounds, but did not get his name. At tbe same house above relerred to on Henderson street Dr. Owens attended a big fellow, who had a very tigly wound in the side of bis leg, the hole being unusually large, though not deep. He does not consider this wound serious. A little later Dr. Owens attended a boy who was tilt In tbe face and bead with small shot and was shot In the lower portion of tbe abdomen. Fortunately the bullets did not penetrate the cavity. Every effort is being made to keep the names of the wounded under cover apparent ly. but above is given the exact nature of the wounds. Up to midday Superintendent Welles stated that be had no statement to make In regard to tbe unfortunate affair, and lrom him nothing could be ascertained. Officer Fowler seems to have been the only person outside to come in contact with the party. No request has yet been made of tbe city authorities to detail extra police officers to patrol tbe outside of tbe yard. This, however, Is expectedTKoofl ora f ha footb oa thav aaiiIH ha /tnllont. ed to-day. Whether the crowd wan composed of strikers or of their sympathizers, or partly of both. Is not known, lu view or the fact that even the police officer could recognize do one. Any way the aot will reaot upon the strikers, and many of them are to-day deploring It as much as anyone else. Later It was learned that the man dangerously wounded Is named McGellls and tbe boy Is named Winters. Both are striking machinists. The names of the others cannot be gotten. This afternoon Superintendent Welles again requested,a police patrol and guard. This was given and tonight the shops are well guarded. An Unfair Proposition. Greenwood Index. It has been suggested tbat8enator Tillman has on foot a plan by whicb Senator McLaurln will be ruled out of the Democratic Primary next year. We do not presume to say that McLaurln ought or ought not to be permitted to eDter the primary, but we do insist that Ben Tillman, alter agreeing to go in the democratic primary with MoLaurln, after putting his democracy on- a level with that of MuLaurln, Is certainly not tbe man to father such a plan. Futbermore, we believe the sentiment of the Slate is overwhelmingly against such bushwhacking tactics as are being Indulged in by those who are afi-ald of McLaurin. Tillman virtually admitted tbat something was needed to stem the tide which Is flowing in McLaurin's direction and even ottered himself as the only one who could deleat the Junior Menator. The people ot South Carolina want fair play. They want to hear all sides. Tbey are able to do their own thinking and decide what democracy means. We believe hundreds and thousands of people are in this State are beginning to realize that the Republicans have stolen Democratic doctrines and, having laitb in the ultimate trumph of right and the perpetuation of American principles, believe the Republicans do not know how to apply the doctrines but that the old Democratic party should return to its principles and furnish a practical illustration of the fact that only lions can wear llous' skins.

Let us make a study of "hills" in roads and see what difficulties they actually preseut, scientifically. Let's s^e how many of these grades we have iu Edgefield County. Here is a 2 per cent, grades ; that is a hill rising two feet in every hundred : < '2 feet in 100. i ThP United States government says "A horse can pull only four ? A 11 I fifths as much ou a grade of two feet in 100 as he can on a levei ru?u. Here is a grade of 3 per cent: 3 feet in 100. A publication of the government says: "All things being considered, the horizontal grade of a road should never be greater than 3 feet to 100." However,^ 4 per cent, grade is the maximum steepness generally adopted, beyond which States that pay much attention to the subject will not let the grade go. Here is a 4 per cent, grade?how does this compare with Edgefield County's grades? 4 feet in 100. Gen. Roy Stone, the able head of the road department of the government, recently said in an address : "Your chief difficulty is not with your road surfaces, but with their high grades. Your roads were laid out . . . without any attention to the general topography . . . regardless of grades or direction, and most of them still remain where they were laid, and where untold labor has been wasted in trying to improve them. It would have been worth many millions to you to have had them systematically and skillfully laid out in the beginning. All your leading roads would have.been kept down to the limit prescribed for hilly regions in other countries; that is, to a 4 per cent, grade, . . . instead, of 10, 12 or 15 ae you have them now. And if this done to and from your iarms, etc., would have beeu saved." Here is a 5 per cent, grade : 5 feet in 100. The publications of the government say : "It costs one and a half times as much to haul over a road having a 5 per cent, grade as on a level." Here is a 10 per cent, grade or hill: 10 feet iu 100. The government says : "With a grade of 20 feet to 100 a horse can draw but one-fourth as much as he cau on a level." It pays again : "The cost of hauling is three times as much over one having a 10 per cent, grade as on a level road." Yet how many, many hills we have in Edgefield County far steeper than 10 feet to the 100! How long are we going to continue this costly and senseless aystem? Here is a 15 per cent, grade: 15 I'eet in 100. Here is a 20 oer cent. crad*? ? 20 feet In 100. Here is a 30 per cent, grade : 30 feet iu loo. Let each of us compare these grades with hills that we know of along our roads and the force of them wiLl appear to us. Here is a 50 per cent, grade, a rise of 50 feet in every 10!). 50 feet iu 100. We actually have some hills in Edgefield County of this steepness. Heaven knows what proportion of a load can be hauled up them. Heaven knows what the cost'of all these hills of more than proper grade, is to us in Edgefield County in a year, doubtless as in Iowa for t-ame territory, about $200,000, The department says: "If a road goes over a hill when it might go around the labor and expense put upon it are absolutely wastep. . . . It is a great error to continue to follow these primitive paths. The proper thing to do is to call in a good road engineer and have the location so changed as to throw the roads around the ends or along the sides of the steep hills and ridges instead of continuing to go over them." Gen. Stone also says that in one township in New Jersey he calculated the "hills cost the people $10,000 per annum. They have' been paying this tax 100 years," he says, "and yet they wonder why they are poor." In such states as Massachusetts, Connecticut, etc., no appropriation will be given to roads of more tjian about 4 per cent, grade. Senator Mayfield, of this State, writes to the government: "Pickens County, which is a mountainous one, has pernaps the bear dirt roads in the State. Instead of crossing the hills as tne old roads did, they were laid ofl'so as not to exceed a rise of seven inches to the rod. This was done by Mr. Absalom Tailey, while county commissioner. . . . He had this work done extending through a period of twelve years. As I stated last week the hills .on our roads are far worse than all the holes^ruts, and mud ; they are the chief hindrance to travel. Instead of hauling eight or ten bales'of cotton, we baul two and three up them, at immense extra cost to all our hauling. As the government says, we ought to get a good road engineer and re-survey our roads, running them around the hills. This will do the roads more good than all the work that can be done on them from now to tbe crack of doom as they at present run. All the work in Christendom won't make "good roads" up the bills. Our countv convicts and mad foroes all over thev countv are throwing their work away, as the government bo truly points out, by continuing to try to work tbeBe bills. Our county coramiasioners, as I understand it, Lave the authority to employ an engineer and inaugurate this work. If you will do so, Messrs. County ComiuiHftjonerH, we and future generations will rise up and call you hlessod. Clark's Hill, 8. C. Publicus. DENTAL ,NOTICE. S. F. Killings worth, L No. 4 Meal Blooh. :Abbevl!le, H. C. DII. J.
