(0orgotown, Oct. L.-The Georgo town raco riot doos not materialize, at least it looks so up to midnight. Tho troublo arose Saturday evening when J. C. Scurry, a deputy shoriff went into a barbor shop to collect delinquent taxos from a nogro bar. ber, John Browniiold. A dispute arose and words camo to blows. In the scuflo tiht followed Scurry's pistol droppod from his pocket antid was snapped up1 by the negro, (Brownliold), who ii rapid succos sion, fired live shots at Seurry, each taking offect in sonio part of his body. Tho negro then 11-3d but was captur od by a policeman and placed in jail. Scurry died at 10 o'clock Sunday morning. Excitoment ran high, for it was considorod coldbloodod mur der. The coronor's jury was com posgod of white m1en. A rumor was circulated among tho negroes that the white men during the night would ring the firo boll, and when the negroes would rush to their engines then the whites would run to the jail, take Brownfield out and lynch him. This is exactly what tho negroes did themselves about 7:30, and heforo the boll was through ringing, by prearrangoment, between 800 and 1,010 negroes gathered around tio jail with guns nnd rifles, to prott e, as they said, the negro from being lynched. The ringing of the fire bvl was accom paniod by screams amid yells from the negro women and children. Mayor \V. D. Morgan, Sheriff Skinner an(d others vent to the jail and tried to persuado them to dis perse, but they tol ! them flatly that they would not. Capt. S. M. Wiard, of the Georgetown .ifle Guards, called out hi'4 com" pay ', and they have been under arms over wince. About 3 o'clock (I i morning the negroes loft the jail but Ireoly threatened to burn the town. Then it was that Mayor Morgan u ired Uov. McSwoonoy for Military help. A number of negroes were in town today but no outward demonstration was made. Company 11. of Sumter, under command of Capt. H. Fraink WVilson, in response to a telegram) from Gov'. McSwooney, called out his company, and( in 35 minutes 37 teen were at the depot and boarded the train for Georgetown. They arrived at 9 :1 0 and were muot by the Georgetown Rifles andl escorted to the armory, where refreshments are now being served. A special from Charleston b)earing 180 men with (Gatling an-d Hochkiss guns, in addition to other arms left Charleston at 8:40. At 1 :05 a. m. only a few negroes are to be seen on the streets and everything is apparantly as qluiet as a May morning. Some arrests will be made tomorrow, but this will not create any disturbancos, for the ne groes seem overawed by t he presence of the militiamen. Early this morning Mr. Josiah Doar was shot through the leg by the acci dental discharge of, a gun in the hands of a militiaman. HoI may lose his leg. F. P. Cooper. NEoRIO woMEN wURU RIPE FORl MAssA(0nE. Georgetowna, Oct. 2.-Main street this morning presented a scone which would do credit to Manila. Soldiers marched, drums were beating and the wvhole fown apparently was under military rule. But such was not the case. Mayor Morgan and the councilmen to whom were added several prominent cit izens, constitu ting an advisory hoarti, wore in se's. sion and have been discussing what was best to dt) in the promiseP. About noon it was given out that 20 warrants had been issued for the arrest of the ringleaders in the dis turbance of sandmy night and these were served this artornoon. Walter Denison. a negro barber, is'o onsidr-. id tho ringlw-der, and is be)ig birp] mspOlsible, ill it 1lar1go illllitrr o, for the exciteiet Sunday night. The negroes in (own (o:lay ar-o residents and all those fromn te conn try who wore iero yesterday have disappmarmd from thostreots. Thero wis no Oxcitoment of aty kind last night savo the arrival of tho soldiers fromi Sumpter mind Charleston, and )efor0 3 o'clock t his Morning very soldier was sound aslop on the soft sidof i plank in the armory and other buildings provided for their rest i ng place. Tho Charleston soldiers rotturned today, but thei Saitor boys will bo held over until 6:30 tomorrow morn iug, roac.hing their homes about 9:30. It was impossible to give all the facts in the dispatches sont last iight, and a roview of the incidents that caused the military to b sent here may not be armiss. Whilo it is not generally admitted by som11 it is bo liovod that by the thoughtless ro marks of a fow hot head-i Sunday aftornoon the negroes believed that John Brownfiold would be taken from the jail SuIntday night and lynched, and that the ringing of the fire alarm would be at sigual. At tho first sound of tho bell, theirofore, there was a hue indi a cry raised, especially by the negro womon, and I here was i gen oral rush for the jai), eac'h bearing some kind a wfeapon. from a rico reap book to a rifle, arnd in a feW minutes 1,500 negroes wero around the jail and in the stroots adjoining. The whites at, firbt did not understand the moaning of this outpour and some of the prominont citizens, itcludirig Mayor W. D. Morgan, Col. Spark ham, Sheriff Skinner and others, wont anongst the mob and told thmin that no one was going to lynch John Brownfield. Hero the rice field vi rago, the longth of whoso vindictive tonguo has never yet boon assertain Od, got in her vilest work. "Don't go home omens like the buck ra men tell you; stay here and save John. Bun do dan town down to ashes. Yunner kill all do buckra and we will 'tend to the buckra o,;man an:1 chillun. Do buckra want to run over us, but wo will show dem." These and ot her remarks followed in rapid sucession and the consequence wias that pandmoniun roigned supreme. Tho Georgotown R0le; were summone and remained in their armory all night awaiting or ders. Mayor Morgan understands the nogro well. As far as he is con corned, he was unwilling to call on the governor for troops, but yielded to the juidgemnent of others whom ho called into consult at ion. A s soon as it was Iearned that'the troops were cow ing the leaders among the nogroes ad. vised thorm to go home arnd stay there whichr they have done. It seems as if this negro, John Brownfield, was a loader in the society of coondomi as wvell as a member of the Odd Fellows and other organizations. It was be lieved that a large stock of arms wvas stored in a cer-tain ball in town arid an committee was sent today to seize themn, but it proved to be false. It soms as if the trouble is noEv over, but how lung the peace between the races will prevail cannot b)e knowvn As generation after generation grows up, as we get further and fur thor from the relation that existed betwoonr master and slave, a fooling of antagonism grows stronger be. t,woon the races. It is tire educated college negro, with Iris high stand ing collar that reminds one0 of a black mule peeping over a whitewashed fence, that is busily sowing the seed of discord am ang his, race and( each and every troull almost is attrib uitablo to him. In this covnty a state of affairs ex ists that has 11o parallol in South Carolina. By mutual consent the of fices of school commissioner, judge of probate, one member of tIhe house of representatives, coroner, two mom - bera of the town council, postmaster and collector of the port are filled by negroes. The whites nominate their candidates for thre other offices and the negroes theirs. At the general election both vote one common ticket. rIn Ihis county the negroes outnumber tire whites four to one anid in their igrnoranco preanmn that the con1d1 ilo governfor i) seiding -o o mmn' troi )-r in a few hioml 14 1 taught t bem a wholesomlie l.sson.

The nervous strain which has existed sinco Sunday night last has relaxed and poieco once more reigns supremo. Too much praise cannot be b(stow ed upon the gentlemanly conduct of the soldiers who have been sent here. They have proven themselves gentle men as well as soldiers and their prompt responso to the call for help in the hour of danger will over b gratefully remembered by $the 1)eopl1 of Georgetown. In making the arrests to day a niumber of ext ra policemen were sworn in and placed under Chief of Police J. J. McKeithen, who has conducted himself wvit.h remarkable coolness in this wholo matter.
