Bj^.ie Lexington Dispatch Burned April 25tb; rebuilt Juh 19, im' ^G. M. HARM AN. Editor and Publisher LEXINGTON, S. C., WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1898. The Dispatch has passt d its 29th mile stoDe and starts towards the next one with renewed vigor, eDergy and enterprise. It is growing in influence and usefulness. It has a subscription list of nearly 1300 subscribers and reaches every post office ""* ?in the county except one. From the exoerijnees of the oast the manage menfc hopes to make the Dispatch better and better with each succeeding issue. Thanking the people of grand Old Lexington for their liberal patronage and uniform kindness in the past, it shall be his endeavor to merit a continuance of the same in the future. The Election. The canvass of the election returns shows a remarkable falling off in the votes polled compared with those cast in the primary election. "With the Democrats a nomination in the primary is tatamount to an election and many become indifferent and imagine that it is useless to turn out to vote at the general election as tbe candidate would be elected without their vote. They seemingly forget that it is doubly their duty to vote in the general election, because it is a duty due the candidates cf their party and because when they ^yoted in the primary election they indirectly took an oath that they would support the nominees of the primary. They certainly do not support the candidates by staying away from the polls at the general election. We mention these facts in order to show that in cases of contest a large vote at the general election oftentimes plays an important part in deciding the case. Take for instance the case of Dr. W Stokes: In the last primary election f in this county he received 1815 votes while his Democratic opponent re^ ceived 526, making a total DemoIcratic vote of 2331, yet in the general election Dr. Stokes received only 755 votes. He should have received the full Democratic vote as he was entitled to under the pledge of 2331 ^ voters in the primary. We trust that our readers will be so impressed with the importance of voting in the general election that * they will hereafter do so. The following is the vote cast in this county as tabulated by both Boards of Commissioners yesterda}: For Congress. J. Wm. Stokes, 755 J. H. Weston, i) For State Officers. W. H.

E KaufmanD, who spare no pains to , secure the best of everything in his line for his many customers. He now has the valuable agency for Dr. King's New Discovery for Consump tion, Coughs and Colds. Tbis is the wonderful remedy that is producing j such a furor all over the country by ! its many startling cures. It absolutely cures Asthma, Bronchitis j Hoarseness and all affections of the ! Throat, Chest and LuDgs. Call at i above drug store and get a trial bot _ tie free or a regular size for 50 cents i and $1 00. Guaranteed to cure or i price refuuded.

Take them to a physician and he will fill them up with the name of some more or less serious disease. " *" ?!--? ??rn. ono of them tO l$very wmc iu.h >a/u van^ ?..? him you draw out some of your funds in the Bank of Health. Keep it up, and there will soon be no funds in the treasury. The man who suffers front these disorders and neglects them will soon be in the relentless grasp of some fatal disease. If he is naturally narrow chested and shallow lunged, it will probably be consumption; if his father or mother died of paralysis or some nervous trouble, it will probably be nervous exhaustion or prostration. or even insanity ; if there is a taint in the family blood, it will be blood or skin d'sease; if he lives in a new or a low, swampy country, it will be malaria; if he lives a life of exposure, it may be rheumatism. There is just one safe course for a man to follow who finds himself out of sorts and suffering from the symptoms described. It is to resort to Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. This medicine makes the appetite keen, corrects all disorders of the digestion, renders assimilation perfect, invigorates the liver, purifies and enriches the blood and builds firm, healthy flesh and nerve tissue. It cures almost all diseases that result from insufficient or improper nourishment of the brain and nerves. Bronchial, throat, and even lung affections, when not too far advanced, readily yield to it. "I took Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for Eczema," writes J. W. Barnhart. of No. 446 De Witt Street, Buffalo, N. Y., "and it completely cured me." BII?C WAD riMUC VTHni Continued from First Page, with no foundation in facf, were car rie?4o the negroes, more than 500, at work in the cotton compress. They were told that their homes were i being burned, etc. They rushed pell mell from their work. However, by the heroic efforts of Messrs. James and W. H. Sprunt, the proprietors of A'exander Sprunt Sons Co., the great majority of them were stopped, and finally so controlled as to leave for linmao in email tuuu UUili^O 1U UUAWA* About the time the trouble at the compress was gotten under control, news came from the first ward, over the railroad, that a riot was in progress there. Large numbers of armed men boarded the street cars or ran on foot to the scene, corner of Fourth and Harnett streets. FIVE NEGROES KILLED This was about 11 o'clock. WbeD thej reached the scone five negroes had already been killed and fully '20 wounded; one highly esteemed young white man, Mr. "William Mayo, was seriously wounded and two others, George PiDer and a Mr. Chadwick, were slightly injured. What gave rise to the trouble was that white guards who were on duty on the corner Fourth and Harnett streets, halted a squad of negroe| who manifested a threatening air All of them save oDe heeded the advice of the guards to disperse. He finally turned as though to move away and suddenly wheeled about and KIKED AT THE StJl'AD of guards. Very quickly several rifle bills crashed through his body, kil'ing him instantly. The ball fired by the negro took effect in Wm. Piners arm. The negroes in sight quickly darted around corners, and in a few moments one of them raised up from behind a fence and fired a Winchester rifle, severely wounding Wm. Mayo, now of linkers, N. Y, who was standing on th9 piazza of his fathers residence. Mr. Mayo was here to vote and would have returned home in a few days. The negro was captured. He was in his own yard and two Winchesters were found in his house. Within 10 minutes his body was riddled with bullets. A large mob of negroes assembled about a square away, and reinforcements for the white men having arrived a volley was fired upon them KILLING FOUR MORE -3. - anftjfrouodfiSg others. The negroes ' The "Wilmington Lifc&t'ifllkn try and the naval reserves were called out and the rapid fire gun and the Hotchkiss one pounder ! were also hurriedly carried to the ' scene. A mob of several hundred ! negroes was gathered on Njrth j street, corner of Nixon, but as the 1 military advanced the negroes fell back and rapidly scattered. ANOTHER ONE KILLED. When near Sixth and Nixon streets j a shot was fired into the naval re- j serves from a negro house. A volley of bullets was fired by the military ' through doors and windows, killing j one negro. Nine inmates were captured and escorted to j lil. The ! house was demolished. With the exception of two or j three casualties in remote portions of . the city this ended the really riotoas scenes of the day. The news of the conflict spread j quickly to neighboring cities aud large bodies of tneu arrived during , the afternoon from Fuyettsville and other nearby towns, and all sections of the city inhabited by white people are closely guaided tonight. * Win. J. Martin. | DIFFICULTY -\T PHOENIX, S. C. The origin of the fatal difficulty at , Phoenix, described below, can be j told in a few words: Khett Tolberf^ fe-i A " " l.WBIIirnBLMUa?lig|? vLit*\ was the Republican candidate for Congressman Latimer's seat. Ihtvious to the day of election be, together willi another Tolbert, and t in phew naiuul Henderson, bad been holding secret meetings with the negroes at weird places and boors, at which infl miatory speeches were made and the negroes incited against the whites. On the day cf election, at the PhoeLix pre cinct, in Greenwood county, the tlec l 1-.11 .* 11T.1 V. noil was onng ueia jit >vai?i;us store and ou the upper piazza of which Tolbert was concluding a side electioD, having a piivate ballot box in which were deposited certificates of negroes who had been refused to be allowed to vote, not having complied with the registration laws of the State. Tolbert was guarded by a strapping negro named Circuit, who had on more than one occasion been very insolent and insulting to the whites. A young white man named Etberedge, walked up to Tolbert and remonstrated with him on account of his unusual proceedings. For answer ^Tolbert struck Etberedge a terrible blow in the face, which was not : 3turned. He was struck by some nnknown party a fearful blow on the head with an iron bar, which was of itself sufH dent to cause death, immediately after a pistol shot rang out and E heredge lay a corpse upon the floor with a hole in the center of bis forehead. The firing then be cama genenl and during the confusion and excitement the Tolberts and Circuit made their escape. The whites were determined to have vengeuce and what followed is told in the account published below: Special to the State. Greenwood, Njv. 10.?Two more negroes were killed in this county today. This morning the crowd which started from Pnoenix met near Rehobolh church, the scene of yesterday's lynching, Essex Harrison, a negro who was in the Tuesday fight when Mr. Etheredge was killed was halted and his heart was shot out. He was thrown on the pile of four negroes lying in front of the church who were lynched yesterday. Their bodies still lie there horribly 6hot and frequent showers are falling to make matters worse. Coroner Dean went down to hold the inquest today. He met a crowd, who did not molest him, and, after some little threatening and parleying, with some difficulty secured a jury. The verdict mentioned the customary unkuown parties as responsible. Coroner Dean says the bodies will be buried tomorrow. It is reliably understood that two <-?Vvin ft v?rt Uui-ICL uogiuca OLIJlr JCOICIUSJ ??lO lying iu the woods nearby. Na inquest held over these. Later in the day a party found B.jn C>llin9, another negro in the Tuesday's fight when Etheredge was killed. C films was on the place of W. H Stallworth. Sr., and he was promp'ly k lled and left there. Rhett R. Tolbert took the Greenville and Columbia up triin at Don- j aid's, dodging a crowd looking for him. He has gone to Washington. J Thomas Tolbert has been moved to Abbeville. He will likely die from wounds. Rhett Tolbert's family is at Dae West. Jim Tolbert, whose wife is po3tmistres9 at McCormick, has left on demand of citizens. 10:45 p. m ?The inquest over Etheredge will be completed tomorrow, he haviDg been buried yesterday. The two negroes killed today are known to have been in the fight when Etheredge was killed. Ben Collins emptied his pistol at that time, say eye witnesses. The white men have lists of all negroes implicated by a crossed wire. I caught a telephone message tonight from Kirksey's to Phoenix saying men would leave Ivitksey's for Phoenix tomorrow and that the negroes sho?*:I~ be killed. " J. H. THE PRECEDING NIGHT. Special to the State. Greenwood, Nov. 10.?Phoenix is still the centre of excitement. When I left there at 9:15 o'clock a. m., a hundred white men fully armed and mounted were gathered ready to start. Some favored going below Phoenix on a detour and arresting ceitain negroes known to have been ii Tuesday's first shooting. Others wanted to go to the Harris place, six^ miles above Phoenix, where Tom Tolbert, the man who started the trouble, was left wounded. From there it was proposed to go to Rhett Tolbert'f? six miles from Phoenix towards Abbeville. The latter counsel likely to prevail Last night was a time of great tension and nervous strain at Phoenix, for after the crowd had disposed of the negroes, the bauds dispersed, leaving Pooenix unguarded save by T* n?*iA?idc Rpct I 1 ICU 1 1 IV1IUO L^VOl.

Sixteen came about dark from Newberry and some from Edgefield couuty and Greenwood town. The full force all night was hardly 50, and as the negroes were reported at the Harris pi ice, six miles off, in strong numbers, the situation looked grave. Greenwood men stayed up all night, ready for the word, but some at Phoenix did not think it necessary for them to come or safe to travel the roads at night. Yesterday the crowd of white men, i l J. . J 1 JI several nunarea in numuer, scoureu the country for the negroes wanteJ. Eleven were picked up and six of these were shot, four befng killed in a bunch. The darkeys were taken to Iiehoboth church, where they were examined separately as to their connection with the Tuesday shootings. Many of them lied outrageously and a rope was put around their necks to bring the truth and it did, so those present say. Their testimony was taken down in writing. Several sup- | posed to be innocent were allowed to escape, but four were shot in a bunch. Harry McKinney, who is known to have been at Phoenix-when Eiheredge was shot, was the first to be riddled with bullets. He was perforated by a volley from every side. McKinney was shot in the leg during the fight at Watson's store when Etheredge was killed. Rob Daniel, Sam Baker and another were shot to death. The four fell in a heap and they were left until today. Two others were shot while running and were almost certainly killed. After thi3 affair, the crowd thinued ri Ar> H monr? r?/\i n r* r\ r*~i ,Q uut nuu ov>atiuiLuauj uvujv before the shooting, leaving a deter mined set who finished the negroes' fates. A party went to Thomas Tolbert's house, the Harris place, where Thomas Tolbert was in bed from wounds received at the store the day previous. The place was searched for negroes and five of them advanced on the whites but no fight occurred. It is difficult to get the exact facts about this part of ' the trouble, as here the most serious matter took place. A few picked men, full of grit, went in the house and asked the women questions. This was to find the location of Thomas Tolbert's bad. When this was ascertained, the crowd retired and at least two shots were fired at the bed from the outside and as the rifles were good ones and the shooters tried men, the result was supposed to be sati factory and the crowd left. J. H. Just when it was thought that the excitement incident to the recent: troubles at Phoenix had subsided and | law and order had been established aod things were settling down to their normal conditions, new difficulties arose and more blood was shed. It seems that nearly the whole of the : up country is in a state of diequitude and that the passions of the people ] are so inflamed that it needs only the most trifling incident for another reign of terror and 'anxiety to be again inaugurated. On Monday II, Eliza Goode, was shot and fatally injured by alleged white men shootiDg into her house. It is thought that; the white men can be recognized, j Great shame and indignation is felt among the whites over the dastardly deed. On the same dav at Hunter's, Ab* 7 f beville county, Kennedy McCasian, white, is reported to have been shot and fatally wounded by a negro named Charlie Hall. He is iD Abbeville | jail, and a lynching bee will probably follow the shooting. There was still another murder! reported from near Veidery in the same county on the same day. In an altercation, John Fell, white, shot j a negro. The whites of in and around Phoe- ] nix have met in mass meeting and p m I passed a set of resolutions reciting the causes which led up to the diffiL j culty and calling upon all law abid ing people, both whites and blacks, to join in an effort to preserve the peace of the community and to re-f turn to their peaceful avocations. I How to Lock Good. Good looks are really more than skin deep, depending entirely on a healthy condition of all the vital organs.
