JUDGE LESTER has just finished can
wasting Cherokee county, where he and Col.
James r. Brown have addressed the peo-
pie at different places. The result is most
encouraging indeed. Many changes have
crowned their labors. At Canton, the
Court House was literally packed, some 800
voters present, who listened attentively,-
Col. Charlie Phillips, on Monday previous,
talked to the boys in most eloquent and
convincing manner At Ball Ground,
Sharrs Store and Fair Play, Lester had big
crowds, which he has never we! failed to
draw. Cherokee county at the last election
gave FELTON, 1139 majority This time the
FELTON, men claim the county by only 700
majority, while the Lester men say it will
push FELTON, to get 500. Lester can beat
the race and give them Cherokee at their
own figures.

A difficulty occurred at Edgeield,
S. c., in which BROKER Toney,
Thomas Booth and James Booth were
killed, and seven others wounded
one mortally. The trouble grew out
of family feud, Of long standing.
Toney's brother was killed, several
years ago, and he suspected the mur>
der was committed by Booth. He
therefore swore he would kill the lat
ter on sight. The hostile parties
met, when Toney proceeded to carry
out his threat. He drew his pistol,
killing the two Booths before he was
shot himself. The friends of both
parties were drawn into the fight
and about seventeen shots we're fired.
There was q democratic political
meeting in progress at the time,
about half mile from Edgefield, in
which the shooting occurred, and

EDS. JouRNAL-On last Saturday, 18th
inst, the colored people assembled at Love s
bridge, situated on the line of Douglas and
Cobb, in the capacity of Sabbath School
celebration. There was between two and
three hundred present, nearly all of them
from Cobb. About o'clock, three of us,
white citizens of this community, happened
to pass by the bridge, all at once we heard
the name of John Strickland, colored, call
ed in loud voice by the audience John
Immediately arose and began to address his
brethren as follows He told them he had
been called upon to make them Sabbath
School speech, but that there was subject
of much more importance to which he
would call their attention. He told his
brethren that two candidates were solicit
ing their votes, one to-wit Geo. N. lester,
wished to deprive them OF their freedom
and place them in the bonds of slavery !;
that FELTON, had reduced provisions t0 ebout
one half what they were worth when he
was elected to Congress--to come out to the
polls and transmit to their children the free
dom which we now enjoy. About that
time there was whoop for FELTON,, and one
of the audience followed ''hurrah for Les
ter" The rocks began to fly Immediately,
and it seemed that this poor fellow would
be murdered, but three or four friends came
to his rescue, and he escaped by having his
arm split open, stab in the back and
swollen head Thus ended this Sabbath
School celebration, the most disgaceful at
fair that ever took place in our community.

pure, patriotic and christian gentleman.
