Others Wounded and a Nephew of John It Tolhert Believed to he Fatally Hurt. Bpeelul Cora. Greenville N ws. Greenwood, S. C., Nov, s. ? A terrific election riot occuired today at Phoenix, ten milts south of here. J. B. Kth ridge, .one of the democratic managers, is dead, Steve Tolhert, ten years old, son of Elias Tolhert, is fatally wounded. Stewart Miller, of ninety-Six, is expected to the, and Mike Younger has his right ankle fractured by a pistol bullet. The negro who shot Younger is said on good authority to he dead. It is thought that severa1 negroes are lying dead in the road in front of T LTolbert's house four miles west of Phoenix where tho most terrific pitched battle occurred at 4 o'clock. At 10:30 o'clock, so far as can bo learned, all tho surrounding country is quiet and no further trouble is expected till tomorrow morning. There are now camped at Phoenix 400 or 500 white inch armed with Winchesters, shotguns and pistols. They are surrounded by about an equal number of equally well armed negroes lying in ambush on all approaches to that settlement. Capt. F. S. Evans, of the old Maxwell Guards, which disbanded here recently, is now collecting thirty picked men to go to Plnenix at davbreuk. lie has thirty lilies in the armory here but all day has not been able to get ammunition. Late tonight Elberton, (ia., wired that she would send l,00o rounds at 1 o'clock tomorrow morning. The riot was the outgrowth of a political scheme on the part of Khctt Tolhert, republican opponent to Congressman Latimer. Monday word was received that the negroes were instructed to concentrate their vote at the Plnenix box and go to the polls ready to tight. The idea was to put in an independent box there where the negroes who were refused permission to vote at the regular box for lack of registra tion certificates might deposit their protests and votes for Tol iJim"i mixi 111r111^11 evidence rot- inin in his proposal contest ??f Eatihum's scat. The boxes weio in a vacant store at I'luenix, the congressional up stairs. I)'?\vn stairs near tho front door opening on a front porch Hubert b Talbert, brother of Khett, placed this independent box and stayed to preside over it. The democratic managers protested that this was illegal. They first requested and then demanded that it bo removed. Tolbert refused, having about thirty negroes near the porch ready to shoot. Ethridge went down between 8 and 9 o'cl< ck in the morning to remove the box. As he laid hands on it a Negro shot him through tho hoad, the bullet entering between the eyes and just above tho nose. Ethridge felt over the box and died instant 'y. About ten white men standing by then fired into the erowd of negroes and they fled like doer-, never Stopping to return the tire. Tolbert who was in tlie line of the white man's tire, walked otl j the porch from them. He was -truck bv a shotgun charge in his 1 ' head and shoulders. Seven No. i shot entered hut his wounds are not considered dangerous. It is reported from lMm-nix that not a negro was injured there. At it o'clock this morning ! Greenwood received a telephone communication of the tragedy. Fifty armed men were asked for and sixty of the leading men of I the town responded in a few I minutes, some mounted and others in buggies. The hardware stores | sold out their stocks of arms before night and all day parties were leaving here for the scene, i Parties from adjoining towns also streamed into Phconix. | At 2 o'clock a party of forty left Plnenix for Thomas Tolbert's | house to find out from him who ; the negro was that shot Ethridge. iThey reached the house in safety and interviewed Tolbert who gave | them no satisfaction, saying all he knew was that he went to the I box to vote and was shot all to ! pieces. The crowd stayed in the | house about ten minutes accordI ing to the statement of an eye ' witness who returned here at 10 o'clock tonight. After they had I gotten out of the house and wee Ion the way hack to Phoenix John ; It Tolhert appeared in his buggy ! with the boy S-eve at the head of ; a party of fortv armed negroes. To his hencehmen he yelled "Come on hoys, hero they are." I The white party answered, invit| ing them on. The battle was precipitated by a pistol shot from a negro in the l??d of Tolbert's 'party. Instantly, the tiring became general, Tolbert leading the I charge of his men with splendid , daring. The smoke of battle was dense about .>' <) shots, being tired in three minutes, but through it jcould be.' seen Tolbert's white horse being lashed into the white party. YoiineCP- iilwnrviiiir ?I... .1.......... ^ , lll\y Million of the boy, yelled to his party, : "Don't tire on that hni;?;y, hoys, you sill kill the little hoy." The child was screaming with fright, hut Tolhert pushed on i . within a few yards of the white party, when his horse beeame unniana^e l>le and su Idenlv tnriied and tied, carrying Toloert and his nephew haek into the in? jro party. As the vehiclo turned and disappeared its top was riddled with hnllets. It is supposed that a number of negroes were killed in this battle ! but the whites did not wait to in* i vestigute. The tiring did not cease . until members of the white party yelled, "fc'top shooting, Younger I is killed." The negroes had tied, j Younger was placed in a buggy | and the party started back to IMnenix. Two miles from Phoenix Younger and a small party of friends turned off to Stockman's to have Younger's wounds dressed. Before reaching there the party was tired into from ambush. Only five shots were fired, coming altogether from negroes. In this little fusilade C res well Fleming, a young man of this place, received a load of small shot in his Iface and neck. He is not thought to be dangerously wounded. Mil ! ler received :i load of small shot T in <!h left side of his faeo nod [ | nook and a Inn;* was perforated, j ; 11 i: physician thinks he will die. 1 Miller and Fleminir were left at I . 1 the hoose six miles from here wi. re the wounds of the two were .attended hy Doctor Noel.

Returning hot harelv missed the fusilade in < which Fleming and Miller were wounded. .John R Tolhert's little army at j [Tom's house is said to have been I barked by several hundred in the ?. rear who lied at the first firing.

Early this morning a body of fully 1 ,000 representative white men destroyed the ollice buildimr and plant of the negro daily, The Record, and would have lynched the editor had if not been that the fellow had previously left the city. A few hours later a fight arose between white guards ? by whom every block inhabited by white people was beingputrolcd ? and a mob of several hundred negroes. Pandemonium reigned. The ! mayor, S P Wright, Chief of Police J C Melton nnd the board j of Q aldermen a fusion-negro I regime, became terrorized and resigned under the direction of a j citizens' committee.
