The negroes who did the shooting ' were having a midnight "frolic" and' were creating such a disturbance that they were notified that it must be stopped, when they emerged from the house where they were and used shot. guns on the officer and his party, y The injured are: Deputy sheriff McCali, wounded in both legs; W. A. Dye, two loads of shot in chest and face; Boyd Harris, shot in legs; Rudolph Lowe, both legs peppered with shot; Earl Bowling, shot in body; Albert Wright, body peppered with - shot; Grady Reynolds, shot in head body; Herbert Brandon, shot in face and body; H ~L. Timmons, shot in legs. It was about 11 o'clock on Saturday night that the many residents of East Union were aroused and disturbed by a crowd of negroes at the home of Bob Foote, which is situated just in the rear of Mon-Aetna Baptist church (white). The negroes were evidently intoxicated and sang, shout;ed and cursed so loudly that Deputy Sheriff McCali went to the house to put a quietus on the affair. As result of his efforts several of the nejj groes left and went to their homes ?J "rnra nil iot f nr a while.

As they neared the place the negroes fired on them with shotguns, wounding the men named above. From 35 to 40 shots were fired in all. When the negroes opened fire with shotguns, the few men present who had pistols returned the fire. Just what the effect was is not known definitely, though one negro named Will Broadus was afterward located in a house nearby with the side of his head filled with small shot, which indicated that he had received a load intended for the white men. As soon as Deputy McCall realized cUiiatinn hft t.elenhoned Sheriff J. ?UVs kjl l,wv*v*v- ? ? ? * G. Long, who immediately hurried to the scene with Deputies J. G. Long, Jr., and Claude Wilburn, Chief of Police Wilburn also letting them have Policeman R. X. Sprouse and Ed Gregory.

Fire was burning on the hearth, but there was not a person present for men, women and children had decamped. In the room was a three-gallon jug about two-thirds full of liquor. The sheriff divided his party and searched the surrounding neighborhood, finding Broadus, the negro who said he had been shot while passing, though white men in Union say that Broadus was among the negroes implicated in the row, whether he was an active participant or not. During the night Jim Meng and Gadberry Smith, two negroes, were taken into custody by Sheriff Long and committed to jail so that he might interrogate them for further information. The men were under the influence of liquor at the time and remembered so little that they were discharged early Sunday morning. To-day Deputy McCall went before Magistrate Walker and had warrants * " -B* - ?* J -- TTa?

Anderson, Nov. 22.?It was learned here to-day on unquestioned authority that the new owners of the Anderson Traction company have secured an option on the Union & Glenn Springs railroad, which runs from Union to Pride on the Seaboard Air Line, a distance of 19 miles, and from Union to Buffalo mills, a distance of three miles. It is said to be the intention of the syndicate to build from Buffalo to Glenn Springs and from Union to Clinton and from Clinton to Laurenb or to Greenwood or to Abbeville, to connect with the line from Anderson. It is believed the option will be closed and that the railroad will become the property of the syndicate very soon. Fatal Fight.
