colocad. and anolhor driven by Mr.
Ballon Fanning, a lynching wa« nar
rowly averted In Blackville Sunday
afternoon. 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 |

Na. IX.—The Old Time Mutter.
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. Be sure to > force at ready official command for

•ponded, and the separation of the
fighters at once took place. 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. They loved each other a*

I cannot hut expect that hw Honor,
the Mayor, the meuftwr* of the Coun
cil, the policemen, the Sheriff end
Magistrate will nobly sustain you
Christian women in bringing order
out of chaos. These gentlemen bear
worthy names of worthy sires, and
I trust will give you unflinching co
operation and support. Vigorously
cultivate such a public sentiment as
the case demands; trust in God and
contend for the legal and the right.
Organize “Uplift Associations”
throughout the country, hold stated
meetings, and ^now and then meet in
one- General Association composed of
workers from various sections of the
country. Go on in your good work
until the men and boys will become
ashamed to “drink” and “gamble,”
and proud to do right

tke advertising patronage did not jus

not read “the patent insides,” the
