at Georgetown last Saturday night.
The latter had gone to the formers
place of business to collect a dibt
when an altercation ensued duriDg
which the deputy Sheriff, in attempting
to draw his pistol, let it fall to
the fl >or, and the negro seizing it
shot him five times. The negro escaped
from the shop but was
captured by a policeman and confined
in jail. The negroes of the
town and vicinity congregated in
large numbers around the jail
premises and made violent demonstrations
and threatened to burn the
town. For a while things looked
squally. A race riot was imminent
and Intendant Morgan telegraphed
to Governor McSweeney for assistance,
and he ordered Capt. Sparkman
to summons out the local malitia
and also ordered a company from
Sumter and a detachment of 180
men with a Gatlin and Hotchkiss
gun from Charleston to proceed to
Georgetown. The presence of the
militia overawed the negroes and
they quietly dispersed without doing
any harm. By the accidental dis
charge of a soldiers gun Editor
Josiah Doar of the Georgetown
Times was shot in the leg and it i9
probable that it will have to be amputated.
Two proposed amendments to the
State constitution are to be voted
upon at the approaching general
election. One of them relates to the
drainage and reclaiming of swamp
lands in the State and the other is
designed to enable certain municipalities
to increase their bonded indebtedness.

The Spartanburg Herald has entered

When we went to press last week
the case beiDg tried was that of
Susannah Jane Cook vs. Southe n
Railway Company, an action for
d images from forest fire. Mr
Strother represented the plain iff md
Mr. E. M. Thomson the defendant.
The verdict rendered was $275.
The next case was Isaac E iwards
vs. Southern Riilway Co, which re
suited in a nonsuit.
On Monday the third week's jurors
were called and empaneled with
S. P. Shumpert of Shumperts, as
Foreman of Jury No. l,and J. Belton
Shealy of White R jck, as Foreman of
Jury No. 2
Only two cases come up. The
first was John C. Bryce vs. James
C?yce and others, in which the verdict
was for the defendant.
The other was Dr. George Smith
vs. Mrs. Harriet Seay, Admr'x, in
which there was a verdict for plaintiff
for $20.

A Fatal Accident.
While our paper was being printed
last Wednesday we received the
painful intelligence of the fatal acci
dent which befeli Mrs. Job F. W ngard
and her daughter, Miss Cuttus,
in which the former lost her life and
the latter sustained serious injuries.
It seems that on Tuesday of last
week they left their home to carry
dinner to the husband and bands
who were working in a distant fit-Id
They were diiving a horse reputed
to be gentle. In returning homo, and
while in sight ol 31r. WiDgard, who
was on horse back, the horse driven
by the ladies became frightened at
something by the roadsido and dashing
off, threw Mrs. WiDgard forward
out of the buggy breaking her neck,
and Miss Custus fell backward sustaining
serious injuries. The news
of the accident was a shcck to the
entire county and cast a gloom over
the community where the accident
occurred.
From reports received today Miib
