Greenville, Miss., Special.-As the re sult of a fight which occurred on the Sims & Williams plantation at Trail Lake, Miss., thirty miles east of here, Thursday night, John Sims and his manager, named Cato, were killed by uegroes, and three of the negroes have been killed also. The country is in a state of intense excitement, and it is feared further trouble may ensue be tween the whites and blacks. The slaughter started about 10 o'clock, when Sims and Cato were shot down in their store by a negro named Sam Clark. Sims was engaged in check ing up his cash, when Clark came in. Defore he could make any kind of move Clark raisad a Winchester and fired, the shot taking effect, first in the back, and then breaking the collar-bone. He died instantly. Clark immediately turned on Cato, the manager, who was in another part of the store, and shot him in the right side, the ball coming out on the left side. Cato staggared out to the back of the store, and as he reached the. door a negro convict guard named Van Horn, who was in waiting, struck him over the head with a rifle. Cato died al, 7 o'clock this morning, and the phy sician gives it as his opinion that the blow over the head caused his death. News of the tragedy was immediate ly sent to Greenville, and Sheriff John Crouch, with a posse, went to the scene. The negroes, Van Horn and Clark, had made their escape before the posse ?rrival, but the trial of Van Horn was found and he was tracked about a quarter of a mile into the woods. Here another negro convict guard named Mayfield interfered with the posse, and he was shot down in his tracks. Van Horn was captured and taken to Leland, fourteen miles distant, where he was placed in jail. He remained in jail all night under a strong guard, and at 8:30 o'clock Friday morning he was taken out and lynched by a mob. While the sheriff and posse were busy with Van Horn the other negro, Sam Clark, returned to the Sims store l^wj?fe-t?c intention, it is supposed, ot killing Buck Williams the other-paf?^~ ner; the bo'Qk-keepej^,-fiff&ed Crow, who was also \aV"work and ethers. Crow, however, after the previous shooting, had armed himself and a negro who worked about the place named Aaron Fuller. When Clark made his appearance he was shot and killed by both Crow and Fuller. It is believed at Trg.il Lake that, the shooting is the outcome of a meeting held In the vicinity of Trail Lake by a negro secret society, and that the negroes^ involved were picked out to do the killing.

PALMETTO CROP BULLETIN A Favorable Week for Cultivation, bul, - Too Dry for Growth. The week ending 8 a. m., May 30th, had a mean temperature of 7 degrees which is 2.above normal, due to higher day and night temperatures. The *vc tremes were a maximum of 96 at Blackville on the 28th, and a minimum of 52 at Greenville on the 24th. There was an excess of bright sunshine, and the winds were generally light to fresh and westerly during the . first, part, southerly during the middle, and east erly at the clost? of the week. The relative humidity was exceedingly low during*the greater part. Light rains occurred on the 27th over the eastern, parts, amounting to slightly more than a trace at a few places only, and copious showers dur ing the night cf the 29th in Lemington, Edgefield, Saluda, Laurens, Union and Spartahburg counties, the amounts ranging from trace to over an inch. This rain occurred after the correspon dents reports had been mailed, and will materially improve the conditions set? forth by them.

Laife plantings and re plannigs have not come up to stands, while worms continue destructive, and [stands are broken as a rule, although good stand reports are more numerous than heretofore. Old corn has received lits second cultivation. The hot weather caused a noticeable Improvement in the color and growth of cotton, but the continued dry weath I er has ben detrimental by preventing its. coming up on clay'and red lands both first and replantlngs. The plants are small for the season. Chop ping has been finished in many places Cultivation has been thorough, and fields are remarkably clean. Sea Isl and cotton is in poor condition on ac count of the severe drought that pre vails along the coast. Oats are ripening ''n all sections and harvest is well under way. The crop ia good in a few places, fair in many, and a failure in some. Wheat is an average crop: some has been cut. Peach ship ments arel ight, but increasing. Fruits are plentiful in most sections; berries need rain to ripen them. Pastures, gar deus and truck generally are badly parched. Melons are backward. The ground is too dry to set sweet potato slips. Aged Lady Attacked. Manning, Special.-A negro about 13 years old by the name of Eddie Nelson was committed to jail Saturday for committing a murderous assault with a pine stick upon Mrs. Setzer, an aged white lady who lives on the edge ol town. Mrs. Setzer was out in her little corn field near a piece of woods back of the house replanting corn, when this young negro slipped out of the woods and up behind her, striking her a se vere blow on the head with the stick which he had broken ii) the woods. Mrs, Setzer was knocked almost senseless, but she recognized him sufficiently well as he ran to describe him, and this boy, answering: the description almost ex actly, was caught at a house near by, about a half hour afterwards, A sman boy also says that he saw thbi boy run ning in the woods. This piece of woods is a favorite rendezvous for card play ing negroes, and it is supposed this young chap had a motive of revenge against the old lady for reporting that negroes played cards there. It is not supposed that hehad worse intentions, as "ne ran as soon as he struck 1 the blow. /lust Fife Pledges. Gen Willie Jones.
