Edgefeld Monitor A disgraceful row
occurred at the Ready Branch (colored)
Church in Norris Township, about six
miles North of Ridge Springs, in which
knives, pistols, and clubs were used, with
the following result: Ike Lott, stabbed
in the back; Nose Lott, shot in the arm ;
Stance Padgett, shot three times fatally,
(has since died. and Wash Coleman, arm
Knocked out Of joint. The difficulty
grew out of the Gates murder, some of
the parties having been implicated and
others were witnesses. We understand
whiskey was sold from jugs in the vicini-
ty of the church and that these parties,
or some of them at least, were considera-

moter of riots. is there no way to stop
the unlawful selling Of wAiskey on such
occasions?
