On last Sunday afternoon, about 4
O'Clock, on the plantation OF Mr.. J. 81.
David, four miles from this place, Vicey
Buchanan was shot by Aleck Williams,
with double-b -barrelled shotgun the
shot, almost in mass, entering her
head just above the left eye, and tearing
away portion of the brain, killing her
instantly. Both the parties were oolored.
Vicey, the girl who was shot, was only
eight years Of age. The boy, Aleck,
who did the shooting, is nine. These
children, with others still younger than
themselves, we're playing and frolicking
together, when the boy told the girl that
If she did not do something which he
had told her to do, he would shoot her.
Upon her refusing to obey him, be took
down the gun, put some powder in one
of the tubes, put o cap on it, and fred
at her, with the above result. It is be-
lieved that the boy thought the gun was
not loaded. and only intended to frighteu
her.-Mdrl6oro Times.

WHITE PR1soNEns TO BE HANpouFFeD.

WHITE PRISONERS TO BE HANDCUFFED.
The Chester Is. o. Reporter says the
Deputy United States Marshal for that
County, a colored man named John
Lee, has expressed his determination to
handcuff and tie white men that he may
have occasion to arrest hereafter. This
expression on his part was called forth
by the fact, that on Saturday last, Will
liam Kerr, constable OF York, brought
to the Jail at Chester tied colored man,
named Henry Mobly, charged with steal
ing mule from Mr.. 7. P. Mitchell, in
January last.
Prominent oolored men about Char
lesion have addressed Justice A. J. Viii.
lard, asking him if he would be oandi-
date Z II Governor in the next election.
A reply has been received embracing an
acceptance. The main plank in the plat.
form is ".fair" distribution of Offices
among the colored men. It is hinted
that the Rev. E. j. Adams will be on tht
ticket for the Lieutenantship; Col. NJ
Il. Delany for Secretary of State.
DIED IN JAIL.-Allen Parr, one OF thu
prisoners convicted at the last term o
the United States District Court, for il
licit distilling and sentenced to 81,
months imprisonment, died in the Conn
ty jail at Union, on Thursday night last
Mr. Parr was about si1ty.two years old
A man by the name of Goggins. from

ONE OF THE THIEVES CAUGHT.
Sartor, one of the leaders of the gang of
colored men who have committed 30
many burglaries in this County, was ar
rested by two OF their own race, Green
Nicholas and Levi Keenan,, on Saturday
last. 1t seems that the story he told
some time ago, that he was 'let out OF
the penitentiary by the authorities" was
false. He now acknowledges that he
and negro from North Carolina es-
capped from the penitentiary, by forcing
the bolts OF their cells with piece of
wire, and that reward of 1876 has been
offered by the authorities for his arrest.

DIED OF HIS INJURIES. .-Scipio Green,
the colored fireman, who was so badly
scalded at the accident at Steinmeyer's =
mill, in Charleston on Wednesday
morning, died on Thursday, from tho in
juries he then received.
There was hail storm in Sumter
County, after which hail stones as large
as Guinea es,, could be shoveled VI

WHOLESALE ARRESTS. We are in
formed that the arrests in this County
under. the Ku Klux and Enforcement
Acts have been upon the Wholesale and
indiscriminate order since our last issue.
It is reported that about sixty fell under
the mandate in about three days. Most
of them have been released on bail. We
have not attempted to obtain the names.
but We have not heard that any promi
nent citizen is among them. A marshal
and squad of soldiers were camped for
two days in the neighborhood of Mr..
Asa Smiths plantation, watching for
Mr.. Smith and. others, but returned
without making tho arrests they wished.
Many have ''come in" and confessed to
belonging to the Ku Klux. We learn
that general "puking" has been going
on in the Commissioners Office the past
week. Nearly every young man in the
upper part of the County has either
been arrested or driven from the County,
and the tnight riders" are now paying
their nightly visits to the lower and
other portions. Before the job is com,
plste6, we think it will cost the Govern
ment about 100000 to arrest, convic
and punish the Ku Klux OF this County
alone. II it does not leave worse
disease behind. we shall be very greatly
mistaken. We, however, don't think th'
same doctors will be found here to cure
lit Union Times.
