"Governor Chamberlain, Of South
Carolina, arrived here this morning
and leaves for home tonight, He
called upon Secretary Cameron and
Attorney-G General Taft to-day. The

The Coroner has not yet been notifi-

very properly and promptly reduced
the wages of those hands IN Its EN-
plovment at this place who voted an
additional tax of II mills on 1t, at the

IF the negroes will persist in voting q
tax on our property holders, simply
because they have the power under a
corrupt legislature, they must suffer
the consequences. Our people have
rights which they can and will assert.

We take from the Herald the fol-
lowing:
The Democracy of South Carolina is
divided thus: Fire-eaters, Conserva-
tives and Co-operationists. This Of
flee has long since thrown its banner
into the breeze, and every issue OF
the Herald breathes nothing but a
straight-out white man democracy:
We have maintained and ever intend
to hold up the white man above the
dusky African, and If goodness"
will let us keep our senses, hope to
WELD the columns of the Herald till
the white man rides into Office by the
white mans vote. We are white
man inside and out. The inimical
reader will put US up in the "Fire-eat-
ing Club" and, Blaine-like, proclaim
the "bloody shirt" against us; but we
are what we are. Oppression, insult
and injury have entirely estranged our
minds and hearts from negro aftilia.
ton or radical conservatism. We
have received no unkindness PERSONAL
Nv. at our, enemies hands, but our
bleeding country has been shamefutly
humiliated, which arouses all the
venom in our souls against them.
There will be mass meeting Of the

Fight Between q White man and
Negro-Call ont the Troops.

We learn that an alteration took
place at John NJ. Mackay's farm ON
Long Cane eight miles from Donalds-
vile on Tuesday morning between
John Wilson, a white man, and Sam
uels Williams, colored. The negro
called Wilson liar when he
struck him. The negro returned
the blow with O piece of fence-rall +,
getting the best of the fight at that
time, and the negro left for the depot.
Wilson borrowed a shot gun and fol.
lowed Williams to Donaldsyille and
shot him in the left leg just above the
knee inflicting severe wound. Will
Jams was brought to his home in Bel
ton on the train that afternoon. The
shooting took place about half-past
twelve, and up to the time the train
left Wilson had not been arrested.
The difficulty occurred where the
thresher had been running.
The white man left, and on Thurs
day about twenty negroes, armed win
a warrant, went to arrest him, but he
could not be found.

General Buffers Letter.

Read the very able letter of General
Butler on the Hamburg Horror"
which may be found elsewhere. The
Generals ability is only equalled by
his fearlessness in fighting in a just
cause. None who read it will fail to
see that much injustice has been done
to the whites in the reports of this af'
fair. What our newspapers and their
reporters expect to gain by exagger-
ating this affair is more than we can
imagine. General Butler and the
white people were either in the wrong
or they were not to blame, and we
should much prefer to know that they
were at least not more to blame than
the insolent negroes who brought this
trouble on themselves. Our newspa-
per scribblers who have denounced
the affair in unmeasured terms need
expect to gain nothing from the other
side for the injustice done to our peo-
Dle.
