cost $1,000. This, considering the already
oyerta-ed condition Of the County. and its ex-
hauSte.l Treasury, was an alarming threat
Reply a'as it shall not hc-=that is the show
should not take place in the Court House.
Corn. u. then, in furthcrauce Of the authority
! ros vested in him, with a key made for the
occasion, attempted to open and enter the
disputed territory, but failed, the fit not being
q good one.
| So far as regards tho dispute between Com.
and Clerk, nothing more was said or done;
but this Com. then approached Sheriff Pay
singer, and, among other things said that he
would enter the Court House if he had to
wade THROUGH BLOOD, to which the Sheriff
calmly replied tl!at il any attempt was made
to resist him in the execution Of the law, the
consequences would be on his own head.
Com. D. left soon after for Columbia, for
what purpose it is not necessary to mention,
and returned next day, Friday. the day after
the time appointed fox the show, which did
not come off for reasons which will be men,
toned dirctly below. And thus ended with>
out any physical violence, a difficulty which
might have resulted in the shedding Of blood,
and the result altogether of ignorance and
prejudice. How much to be deplored issuch
condition of affairs the calm, intelligent
reader is fully sensible Of, and all such must
admit that Mr. Lake: the Clerk, and Sheriff

and order, and the COMMISSIONER conduct
highly rcprchcusibIr, an'l calculated to throw
the community into Il tu'nult Of disorder and
bloodshcd.

THE SECOND .tcr-"TuE rLAYEEs HAVE
COME
And the role sustained by them may as
well be added in connection with the above
wordy difficulty. The time appointed for the
show was Thursday evening, place Pools
dining hall. All preparations were made,
and to prevent clash, supper came on early,
and chief cook and bottle washer proving
himself equal to the emergency got dishes
and tea cups out Of the way in time We
invested the half of greenback dollar for
the benefit of the oldest responsibility, - and
made deed Of gift Of complimentary to q
nice young man who considerately accepted
the responsibility and the dignity of the po-
stion. They went,-wc remained,-t min.
uteS elapscd-thcy returned. What was to
pay? There was no show. How, why,
wherefore? Oh the music grinders had got
ten hold of bottle Of tanglc>leg, and were
noa>comatibuS-in-bed- and manager seeing
futility of attempting to proceed without the
inspiring strains Of the band, and having
strained every nerve to get his Fiduliers up
to time, thought it best, rather than give less
than first class entertainment, to give none
at all, and dismissed a large and respectable
audience. The first thought suggested was,
where is our half-dollar That noble young
man. with presence of mind most remarkable,
and for which we thank him, had saved it,
it was returned in all its integrity. The loss
of it would have been severe, particularly for
the reason, that some one had imposed q
piece of >kilcd-shcep-me on us in the
morning of the like value. This was total
loss. not having had the time or forcthought
to insure it. Audience gone. cxeunt mana
ger, musicians asleep.
| THIRD AcT-MoINING.
FddlcrS nearly at thcmselvcs-manager
writling under disappointment and loss
rccrimiaatoa. Entire responsibility thrown
on musicians, which was rcpcIled with in
dignant d:mi-semi-quavcrs~o of rage. Manager
kept his ground. Lull in the storm. Time
| for settling bill arriving, slight misunder-
standing arose in relation thereto. Hotel
chief not at home, his adjutant took position.
Manager continued doubtful, alluded to nm
fortunate drunk and consequent failure and
loss Adjutant did not sec it. High words
following, all the while getting higher, a con-
| ccntrated' was thrown in, ,whic! did not work
like oil on water. Bill settled in full. Peace
will now brood like q dove twas hoped, but
| alas, that concentrated worked with strength,
and wra.hful eye of manager saw the sparks
|
it agan-think two boxes Of concentrated
were thrown one at the other, any how 1t
grew hotter, and just at the intcrcs ting point
when it seemed certain that wool would suf-
fer, and somebody get squeezed, woman
appears on the scene, and screaming, pre-
cipitates herself between. The indignant
uor-elist was seized on the one side, and the
furious manager on the other, and the latter
in charge Of pcacc-officcr Brown, carried to-
ward the Jail. Sheriff hereupon enters and
interposcs, manager is rescued, hoteiist says
he is satisfied, and the whole is amicably adj
justed. Manager and players, except the
grinders, take cars.
