the AFERAy OF MONDAY LAST.

~f f~--- sHl
We shall say but little about it, mas
much as our people already know it.in
all its details. The Toneys and the Booths
are two families who have lived since
our earliest recollection in the country
Immediately East OF Pine House. The
Toneys are people of means the Booths
are poor. In 1860, in Ku Klux times,
Ben Booth shot and killed young Luther
Tonev. For this he was tried, convicted
of manslaughter, and scrvcd Two or three
years in the p~enitentiary. Since then q
yengeful feud has existed between the
two families, and ever and anon the
Booths have sought a difficulty with the
Toneys. They came to- Edgefield on
Monday morning-ive of them-wlth
the openly avowed design Of killing
BROKER Toney. And the result is that
BROKER Toney, James Booth and
Tom Booth are lying in bloody graves,
while Ben Booth and Mark Toney are
living iow of their wounds. In this there
is no political p&acor, nor sudden blood
thirstness inflamed bg liquor, None OF
thege men were drunk.
We dsplore the matter with feelings oil
absolute anguish; but We have not the
slightest idea of viilifying or stigmati-
sing eitl.er tho. Booths or Che Ioneys'
Cos be their judge. We never knew
the Booths personally; but We have
K lown Mark and BROKER Toney from
their childhood, ard we always recos-
niz.d them gladly as friends and as gen.
tei..ca. We know that we shall be ter
riblv cAhas44 and abused for saying
this-and for not ca,i,.s 18th Booths and
Toneys bloody devils aud .~neas.ate de-
mons-and that we shall be stigmatised
