From what can be learned here, Holman, who was under the in- fluence of liquor, blamed Mr. Fan- j ning for the collision and cursed him ; „ in the most vile terms. Being un-1 armed, Mr. Fanning and several' friends who were in the car with him t at the time, returned to Blackville . and told of what had happened. I About 50 men, armed with shot guns pistols and rifles, went to Holman's house and the negro opened fire on them. It is said that some 12 or 15, shots were exchanged. The local | Baptist pastor and a visiting minis ter pleaded with the crowd not to lynch the negro, who finally declared his willingness to surrender to Mr. I John O'Gorman or Mr. John Farrell. | He was taken into custody and lodged in Ike Barnwell Jail by Sheri* Band | •rs The latter being Informed that as attempt would probably be mads >1 lywrb ths pet eon rr r*«d bun ftp An Oenngahurg |nd bsmr a most unansuey foguAneaoh ML *4%MM IlMUIB^M tvs t nirr Ajmm t stuth 4a mm MabihN Kb Mbit Day «UI be Held In Barn well nt the Court House on Saturday, November fith.

In the peaceful ante-bellum days of my childhood, the practice of what was called “Muster” wag re quired by the laws of the State. If I mistake not, the age of the males required to “go to muster,” every three months (I think), ranged from 18 to 45. Each man thus demanded to “enroll” in some military com pany had to furnish his own gun of some sort, tafce it with him and an swer to roll-call at the “muster- ground” (precinct) and to be “drill ed”, after some fashion. No doubt the “drilling” was somatimes poor and lacking in efficiency. But it p f. some sort of armed and organized the morning of Nov. fith.

In such cates, more or less of malice might actuate the pugilists, or it might be some what of the nature of a “friend ly fight,” provided forsooth, there ev er is in the world such a thing as h “friendly fight.” Anger, no doubt, usually played its part in such pug nacious practices, either beforehand, at the beginning, in the middle, at the end, or afterwards. Yet, the conflicting parties might immediate ly “make friends,” as it was said, and then go and together “take a drink.” Sometimes, however, “bad blood” followed and the contestants remained alienated. ' In patting, let me state that I once heard “Bill Arp” of Georgia give, in a public ad dress, an amusing account of a fight between two such "bulllee” of hie own Stale.
