Breaking the Schedule. Whose Los. i, III

Inc new through schedules from Charleston
anu other points to Hendersonville and Ashe-
ville are broken up by the failure OF the Spar.
tanourg and Ashevills Railroad to fulfil its en-.
gaSements. At considerable trouble the sched-
9ies where so arranged as to accommodate the
,ldiosyncracies of the Spartanburc and Union
ana SPartanburg and Asheville Railroads, which
are under one management, but whom the frst

that the train for Hendersonvil;e had started
some ume before, and that passengers must re-

No warming Of the change he had made was
gwen Dy MT. Anderson, the Supcrintende Of
the Spartanburg, Union aud AshevilIe line. The
excuse IS that the Airline Railroad had sud

to send OF the train for Hendersonyillc ns soon

for tho train from Columbia and Charleston
by way OF Aston and Union Rather than
detain the passengers and mails arriving by the
Air. Line Railroad for an hour, Mr.. Anderson
holds back the Charleston and low country mail
for nearly twenty -four hours, and gives up the
most valuable part of his summer travel. A
poor excuse is better than none. We fancy
that the real reason for the sudden change Of
purpose has not been given.
Upon Mr.. Anderson's roads and upon the
Blue Ridge summer resorts the effect of the
break of connection will be serious, if not dis

Spartan Is right. in saying, SO. Already the
travel from Wilmington, for which special
provision was made, is turned back to Colds
boro', and goes to Asheville by way of the
Western North Carolina Railroad. The tour
lists from lower South Carolina will 90
around by way of Charlotte, or will take
the old route by way Of Grecnville. Spartan
burg will lose hundreds of visitors, and
Greenville, Anderson snd Walhalla will be built

The Spartanburg roads are cutting their own

It IS no concern Of the summer tourists. They
can and will make other arrangements. The

region will be left 10 fight it out among them

the managers IF the Wilmington, Charleston and
Greenville lines when the late through sched-

A Mono RIOT IN NGEonoIA.-Sayannab. June
IA terrible riot took place this afternoon ut
Mcintosh, Liberty County, a station on the At
iantic and Gulf Railroad, between q party of ne
gro excursionists from Bryan County and those
belonging to the place. It began in q fight be-
tween two negroes, wiereupon John Randall,
the n captain OF negro militia company from
Bryan County, which company made part of
the eIcursionists, ordered his company to charge
which they did, bayoneting everybody within
reach. The captain himself killed one man by
running him through with his sword. There
was intense excitement at this outrage, and the
Liberty County negroes rallied and drove the
military company into the cars, and opened fire
on them killing four and wounding many more
and only stopped shooting when the train got
out Of the way, which they tried to prevent by
tearing up the trask. AL the parties engaged
were negroes.
