A sensational affair occurred in Spartanburg Monday night in which a white man named Perry was severe ly castigated at the hands of about 75 or more citizens for a serious of fense.

Etta Jane, June II—We under- sMtid that on last Sabbath not far from Dr. McCluney’s place on Abing don creek, while returning from preaMiing, a very unprovoked, dis- one ful and disorderly row was raised on the public road by some colored ..entry who drew pistols and rocks on each other. No blood was spilled, however, hut such boisterous conduct should he investigated by the grand jury, and such promiscuous and uo-- lawful practices broken up. Not less than four pistols, we are told, were drawn and brandished by as many rioters. We think that Capt. Clayt (’amp has room for at least that, many reeruit« to his road force, and therefore call the attention of the authorities to that fact. Their names will be handed in and if the grand jury fails to do its duty it will have to shoulder Hie responsibility. It’s ro wonder that respectable white la dies are afraid to stay at home by themselves when rowdys and outlaws are allowed to promenade the high ways in defiance of law, and particu larly on the Sabbath day.

One son submitted to murder in the second degree and was sent to the penitentiary for life and died there. Moore submitted to man slaughter.
