but did not shoot. Then the boys of the ward
cot dray pins and other clubs. The negroes also
GOT clubs, and all went to fooling, throwing their
clubs up. Finally the boys got close to the ne
groes when the negroes opened fire on them
The shots sounded like bunch of shooting
crackers. Several men were wounded and the
negroes were run off. Early in the morning tho
negroes had possession of the polls and voted as
they pleased. He saw good deal of whispering
going on between Bolts, supervisor of election,
and the s'coons," just before the firing began.
The witness created merriment by describing
how the supervisor, who was in the house, whis-
pered to the ''coons' on the sidewalk. He said
