Greenwood, 8. C., Nov. 10.-No
more trouble is looked for in Green
wood County tonight, though it is
barely possible that a few more no
groes may be killed in the. next few
ays. The mobs have for the most
par dispersed, and it is generally
felt that the disturbance iv at an end.
John and Joe Tolbert are under
arrest at Columbia. "Red" Tolbert
is reported as going to Greenville
this afternoon.
Some approbension is felt for the
safety of Thos. Payne Toll,ort, who
was shot at Phoenix. lie is still in
- a critical condition from his wounds
at his home. Ho was not molested
today..
Elias Tolbtrt is still at Stockman's,
near Rehobetli. He is the most in
offonsive one of the family, and it is
not thought that he will be molested
especially as young Miller, the wound
ed man there, in such a critical con
ditioni that the excitement of an at
*tack on Tolbert might kill him. Mil
ler is now sulffering from pnoumonia
and his father, who is with him, says
his right lung is badly affected.
Stockman was accused today of sell
ing ammun4ition to negroes anid loan
ing themi a wagon and there was a
cry for vengeance against him, but
the accusation was denounced as a
fake by several members of the mob.
' When I saw him and his wife at 3
o'cloek at, their place they wore ap
prehensive and were asking for pro
t- tion and the wife and children
were g~.ing with fear.
ANoT jX MAN BUTcHERID.
Essex Harri.,n, another negro,
was killed today. He was shot at
noon by a party of .fteen who said
they picked himi up tw~ miles east of
the church. Hoe was kilkd under the
oak at Rehobeth among "the four
corpses left there from the da^yi before.
August Kohn, of the News and, Con
rier, and myself, going to Pho'cnix,
happened upon the party just kg
they arrived. They said the negro
had conf..ssed being a member of the
crowd of 200 that fired on Watson's
store when Etheredge was killed,
saying that he had been summoned
to go by Tolbert. The party was
not disposed to talk much. Halting
with the negro fifteen paces from the
tree, they ordered him up to take a
stand among the corpses. WVhen he
was ini three paces of the first corpse,
walking with his back to them, they
cursed him and sent a volley of shot
into him from shotguns arnd Winches.
ters. -He fell forwanrd over the other
corpses. After firing a fuv more
times into his body the party ro.
moiunted and turnedl Qt toward Phoe.

Just before we arrived at Phoenix
we met a party of about fifty horse

go on to Smithville after the Tolberts
and a large party of negroes under

It is reported tonight that Miller

London McKinney, an old Demo
cratic negro who wore a red shirt
and carried a Hampton lbanner in '78,
today- viewed the remains of his son,
Wade Hampton McKinney. He said!
his son was contrary, and would not
heed his father's counsel not to mix
with the Republicanr)s.
A party from other counties want
ed to kill the old man when they
first saw him under the tree where
his son's body lay, but his white
friends saved his life with difficulty.
MORE TOLDERTS WANTED.
A small party arriving here to
night frim Mc(lormiek reports that
at a representative meeting of citi
zens thore last night resolutions were
adopted demanding that Jim Tolbert,
who runs a store there where his wife
is postmistress, leave the town in
thirty-six hours. A member of the
committee who served the resolution|
on him at 10 o'clock this morning at
his house said that Jim confessed to
distributing Tolbert election tickets
to nsgroes and said he expected to
be killed and made only the one re
quest that the committee give him
a copy of the resolutions. TIhis was
ref used. Tolbert wss told that his
family would be protected. He missed
the train today but will go east to
morrow.
A telephone message from Phoenix
tonight says Bon Collins, the seventh
negro, was shot on the Stallworth
place, near Phoenix. Will White,
the alleged slayer of Etheredge, was
seen last night. He has not been
caught.
JOHN R. AND JOE TOLBERT IN JAIL AT
coLUMBIIA.
Columbia, S. C., Nov. 10.-John
R. Tolbert and his son Joe, who fied
from Greenwood County on account
of the riot at Phoenix, were arrested
,in this city this afternoon and are
noW in jail. They came this morn
ing angook rooms at Wright's ho
tel. Liezt. Wyatt Aikren, of Abbe
ville, swore iput a warrant charging
them with riot." It is alleged that a
party of soldie.s intended to lynch
the two men tonight. There was
some talk of the kind, hut under
present circumstances it can amount
to nothing.

with the troubles, and tonorrow',s
sun will rise on a more normal con
dition of things in that much dis
turbed community. What has been
done lacks the sanction of thoso best
acquainted with the situatioT). The
greatest injury to innocent ne
groes came, no doubt, from fright
and hunger, but the danger line has
been readied. There was room for
grave apprehensions that the armed
force Ihat had gone to Phoenix to de
fend the weak, protect the inmocent
and punish the guilty would de
generate into a ruthless mob and
commit murder indiscriminately.
This is why the cool-headed citizens
of this place advised the release of
the Tolberts in Columbia. While that
dispatch was signed by only one
leading citizen it was endorsed by
overy one of the many to whom it
was submitted, and I have yet to
boar the first dissent. It was the
only wise course to pursue in the in
torest of law and order. This much
is said by men who Ytro no more
apologists for the conduct of the Tol
berts, past and present, than those
who were so clamorous for their
heads. No, Groonwood made no
deal with the Tolberts. We did not
spirit them away, or even assist in
their escape, but once awvay we are
willing for them to remain away rath
er than jeopardise the lives of inno
cent men and prolong a riotous con
dition by their return at this time.

Columbia, S. C., Novewber 11.
Columbia had two shows today, both
of which wore interesting to citizens.
One was the unusual sight of seeing
a whole regiment go through the
process of being paid and mustered
out. The other was Pawnee Bill's
Wild West aggregation.
By 9.30 this morning six compan.
ies of the Virst Regiment wore

of Agricultural Hi1, whoro the pay
master had establishod temporary
headquarters. It was a cold day, a
brisk north wind chilling the men to

which would make them ordinary
citizens once more.
Capt. Fuller of the United States
Army, mustered them out, and iv

This was done in order to ascertain
that all sola iers on the pay roll were
present. There were no absentees,
of course.
Majors Carr and May were the
paymasters, and they arrived prompt
ly at their office. They brought
with them two heavy iron boxes, con
taining about $95,000 in crisp, new
greenbacks. Almost a whole com-.
pany was detailed to guard the
precious boxes. It took but a com

Col. Tillman issued farewell or
deri to the regiment, of which the
following is a copy:
Hoadquarters 1st South Carolina
Infantry, Camp Fuller, Columbia,
S. C., November 10, 1898-General
Order No. 19: It is with a fooling of
sadness, at the same time one of
pleasure, that this formation is tho
last for this regiment. Sad becanso
we sever our relations as an organi.
zation-pleasant because we are about
to return to our firosides and our
happy homes.
In parting I dosire to stato that if
at any timo I have given offence to
any man, whet.- ho be olicr or
private, I take thisi opportunity to
publicly announco my apology. I
have intentionally offended no one,
andl have ever striven to be just and1(
fair.
On tho part andI in beohalf of the
regiment I du,.iro to tender thanks to
our chaplain, the Rev. (1. W. Baussey,
whose gentle voice has smoothed the
pathway to the graves of our com
rades who are dead, anid his was the
kindly hand that closed their dying
eyes. A nobler man has not worn

Your record as a regiment can be
surpassed by none. You have no
canbe to be ashamed, but every
reason to ho proud. You were first
in war and first in peace.
Most of us will never meet again.
I hid you all an affectionate farewvell
