Tie Orangeburg News says For more than
p week past we have been having supera bun
dance OF rain; too much for the good Of our
farmers. Day before yesterday, however, the

for the benefit Of the growing crop. The reply
made by the negroes generally was that they

they would BIO organized as companies upon

negroes were given to understand that in the
event of a collision they would be held to q
strict accountability. The town council ordered
the marshal to keep the sidewalks cleared.
This timely precaution obviated the difficulties
which might have arisen from the insoience OF
the negroes, they having, on previous occa-
.sions, manifested disposition to block up the
2sidewa,ks, 70 as to compel tho citizens to turn
mo the broad street in order to walk through
