The negro ran to a gin house and hid in the boiler room. The white people, friends of Mr. Barksdale, rushed in after him, whereupon Crawfora struck one of them, Mr. M. B. Canu, a terrific blow on the head with a sledge hammer. Infuriated at this the brothers of Mr. Cann closed in on Crawford and cut him severely with knives.

Anthony Crawford was a A well-to-do negro and owned consider able land on Little river. Mr. Cann H and Mr. Barksdale are both good men P^and reputable citizens.

Orangeburg, Oct. 21.?The main dormintory at tlie State Colored college, known as Morrill hall, vas det stroyed by fire at 8:45 o'clock to r night. The building was of wooden construction and five stories in height. It was the last wooden building at the college, the others having been destroyed by fire.
