Several hundred negroes celebrated the 4th of July here. Most of them came in on Massey's excursion and were from Chester, Richburg, Fort Lawn and other stations along the L & C It R. The excursionists headed by a brass band proceeded from the depot to Massey's Monumental Park, whe re all kinds of entertainment?nub lie speaking, match game of ball, dancing, etc., ? had been provided for their amusement, The Lan caster negroes entertained their guests iu good style, and they seemed to enjoy the day. The crowd was sober and well behaved and not a single arrest was made during the day. It remained for an act of gross carelessness as the excursionists1 train was moving out about 11 o'clock that night, to wind up the day with perhaps a fatal shooting. Sam Ilorton, col., was shot in the side and it is thought he will die. It is not known who shot him hut the shooting is thought to have been accidental. As the train moved off a number of the "young Alexs1' on board tired their pistols and Ilorton happened to lie in range of one of the balls. The dispen sary was kept closed all day which no doubt contributed to the good l>ehavior of the large crowd. Had whiskey been accessible to the crowd, riotous conduct and blood shed no doubt would have mude the day a memorable one. As it was the colored people had a delightfully nice time and their orderly conduct refloted credit upon them and wou tho corumen*. dation of the while people gen crally. The penitentiary hourd of directors have selected a site foi the juvenile reformatory at the State farm in Lexington and the building will be erected at once. 1 LOOSE mi J. iiruiig ;'S MONEY ! is draw in HIK lots and < sw.
