THREATENED RIOT.
Negroes of Pinrwood Mak? Serious
Threats.
Sine* Saturday afternoon soon after ibe
killing of Lewi* Borgtet at Pinewood SJ
Conductor Hurley, rumors have been rife
thai tbe negroes of tbe Pinewood secdon
were itekiag threats agaloit tbe white peo*
pie of lhat town and serious trouble was
feared Sooo after the killing a crowd of
negroes gathered at Pine wood and for several
hours there was great excitement and unease
oese, for it was feared tbe oegroee would be
rash enough to attempt to take Horsey from
the magistrate aod lynch him. Tbe oegroes
made boastful threats during the afternoon,
gas] mads oo effort to carry them out, atd by
night tbe crowd scattered Tbe eicitemsot
baa never entirely subsided, aod tbe negroes
have cootinned making threats against the
white men who took care of Conductor Hur
sty while be wee la Piuswood. It was
thought beet to be prepared for any contin?
gency, aod Oov McSweeney was appealed to
lines aod ammunition, but at there was no
legal aothorisatloo for him to torn over
State arme to private individual!, tbe request
of the Pinewood people was not complied
with.
Oov. tJcSwecoey wired Sheriff Bradham
direstisg him to go to Pinewood with s
posses if stoosoary. Tbe following telegram
was test to Pioewood :
To A L Burkett, Intendant, Pinewood,
8 0.:
Wire governor at ones if there it danger of
oegrr prising and if you need aetiltanee.
Blbert H Anil,
Private Secretary.
But tbe people of Pioewood were oot the
kind to sit dowo aod wait for tbe trouble to
segle before preparing for it, so when they
failed to secure arms from Columbia, thej
etat two men to this city oo tbs 6 o'clock
train lest evening, and tbey secured 25 rifles
and an abundant supply of ammunition, end
retoroed to Pioewood oo the 6 30 local
freight
The oersisteot rumors of so impending
riot and the parcbaae of ammunition last
evening bad orgpared tbe people of this city
to expect an outbreak, and when Ibe follow*
leg telegram was received there was great
eicitemsot:
Golnrxbia, Jan 9, 1990.
C-?pt W L. Lee,
Hold your company in readiness to be or?
dered st moment's ootice to Pinewood. An?
swer. (Signed)
J, W Floyd,
Aojt. O-o S 0.
The company was called out at once*, and
in 45 minutes from tbe time tbe order was
issued tbe company was ready lo go to Pine?
wood Tbe Columbia State says of the
prompt response of the Sumter Light In*
faniry (Co H) ?
? Tbe order to Co. H, Capt. Lee, at 8am
ter, met with perhaps the quickest retpoota to
tueb a call that has sver been ' rx.ade by a
militia eompaay. Io 4ft minutes after tbe
ordsr was telegraphed Capt. Lee wired to the
adj iiam-g. neral that Co H. was ready to
move aod wai awaiting further orders."
About tbs jams lime, however, tbs govern*
or got a meetage from the Intendant to Pine?
wood stating that the sheriff hai arrived
there and wat matter of tre ti'oatioo.
Ao order wae the-* seat tc Capt Lee gS/1 lo
h )ld bit coroeen) in the armory ; that it j
service would not be uredtd
* The members of Ibe compaoy, nevertbe
lees, remained at Ibe armory until 9 o'clock
ssd ware theo dismissed by Capt Lee with
orders to bold Ibemteives io readinets to be
called out at any hour of the nigbt.
At a late boor last night everything wss
quiet at Pinewood, and tbe whites do oot
now anticipate trouble nor fear tbs ittus if
tbe lawless oegrots provoke a conflict, for
h y are well armed with repeating rifles and
earbiuee secured in ibis city and have a big
supply of ammueiiioa. Tbey are able io
lake care of themselves, and there is no for*
Iber fear of a riot.
Capt Heresy, through bis attorosy, Mr
R O Purdy, applied to Judge Buebenan
yeaterdev for ball, which wae granted In the
mm of $2,000, and Mr Horsey was released.

Conductor P. H Horsey, conductor oo the
local freight train from Denmark to Sumte:,
shot nod killed a negro train hind while nt
Pinewood on lost Saturday The came of
tu? negro is eaid to be Lewis Burgess, and
tbe circumetaoces of tbe killiog have been r? *
ported ab follows: Burgesa bad a difficulty
of some kind witb Cipt. Hursey, for whic \
bo was discharged and ordered not to get bac c
outbetraa. He persisted id getting oo tbe
traio, and being warned at the peril of bis
life not to attempt to do so, told C?pt Hur?
sey he would beee him to kill and proceeded
to board tbe If*!*), wbereupoo dipt, Hursey
sbot bim.
Oapt Hareey was arrested and detained at
Pioewood uotil the ir quest could be beld, an.I
tba train was brougbt oo to tbts city by Mr.

TJie Pindwood Homicide
The body of Lewis Burgess, colored, whe
wee killed at Pioewood Saturday afternooc
by Cocducter Horsey, was brought to tbt'
eity Sunday afternoon aod turned otror to bit
family. Tbere was o Urge crowd of negroet
tt tbo depot when tbe body arrived, and they
became iotonaely excited by tbe cries and
wans of tbo women of Burgees' family. One
or two oogro men bad a good deal to toy
about tbo killlag, aod *ugge*ted that Horsey
sbould bo lynched. No overt act was com?
mitted, bot tbe policeman at tba depot, fear?
ing trouble, at Oondoctor Hursey came in
from Pioewood oo tbe same trolo with Bur*
geas' body, eeot for Chief Bradford. The
preeence of the policemen toon quieted tbe
eicited crowd, -and tbe oegroea eooo die*
parsed. Tbe following aecoout of the inquest
is takeo from the Ploeaood correspondent lo
Tbe State:
Pioewcod, Jan. 7 ?-The coroner'e jury
after hearing tbe testimony of a number of
eye witnesses to the shooting of Lewie
Borge?* by Conductor Hursey at this place
yesterday rendered a verdict that Burgess
came to bie death ae tbe result of a ehot fired
by Mr. Hursey The jury did not etate
whether tbe ebooling woe fe onions or wheth?
er it waa justifiable
The impreaeioo wee pretty general that it
would be a verdict of justifiable homicide,
out it is understood tbat tbe two oegro jurors
objected to bringing u tbil form of a verdict
pome feeling has been manifested during tbe
day by tbe negroes, but nothing serious is
feared. Mr Huraev has been rent to Mao
ning under arrest, and will immediately ap
ply for bail through bia attorney, Mr. R. O
Purdy, who was presrot today.

THE BOND ISSUE.
Election Cannot ba Ordered by

Tbe election to determine whether tbe city
shall iftue boods to macadamise Maio aud
Liberty streets, wbicb Oily Council authorized
tbe Mayor to order, will bave to be postponed
until certain constitutional provisions shall
hi?e been compiled witb.
The preliminary step toward an election of
tbia kiod must be a petition signed by/ a ma*
jorlty of tbe freeholder* of tbe city asking
tbe city council to order euch en election.
On present neot of such a petitiou tbe city
council is required to order tbe election, and,
it a majmty of tbe qualified electors votiag
10 eaid electioo shall tavor tbe issue of boods,
it becomes; tbe duty of tbe City Council to
isiue tbe epeeified number of boods
Tbe bood issue to provide funds for mac?
adamizing the streets is in tbe sime coodie
tion as if the Cry Council had i ever consid?
ered tbe matter at all. Uotil the petition a
eigued by a mnjnritj of tbe freeholders is
rrqulred by tbe S>ate cooetitutiou tbe hands
of tbe City Council are tied and nothing can
be done toward ordering tbe election. Tto
udvocatis oj tbr. bond iaeue will bave to

There is another conatitutioaal provision
io refereoce to municipal bond issues tbat tb?
public should consider before the election is
held. Tbe conatituuon rtqulres that when
ooods ate issued a sinking fund shall be
created by setting aside a sufficient sura to
accumulate a fund to pay the bonds in full at
maturity. This rtquirement will make 'be
burdeo imposed by a bond issoe greater tbao
