the freight train on the Spartanturg, Union
and Columbia railroad ran OF the track
Twelve cars were thrown from the track
I and one was crushed to pieces. Fortunately
/ but few cars were loaded. Strange to say,
| there was no loss Of life and no one on
board was even scratched. The cause Of
| the accident was the spreading of the
wheels of truck. The tank was filed
| with about 5000 gallons of turpentipe,
which ran out in a stream which extended
as far as Broad river, three miles away.
Inc people near at hand gathered it in
large quantities, and it is said thai some Of
them have enough to do them for a life
time.
Trouble was precipitated between the ne
groes and whites at E loree on Saturday
last, In which three white men were shot.
IL seems that a little boy, the son Of DR..
Ioland, was being harrassed by little ne
gro, and passed near white man by the
name OF Brown, who told him not to run
from the negro, but to fight him. This
arousei the negroes Standing near, and a
night ensued. Later in he night shots were
fired by the negroes upon a party of men
who had nothing to do with the quarrel,
and they Were seriously wounded. One was
struck by ball in the abdomen, one on the
arm, and the other on the forehead. The
white men were unarned, and only returned
the fire with brickbats without effect. At
cation will be instituted

At Beaufort the office of the county
treasurer was broken open Thursday night,
and the safe robbed Of some papers. The
entranca to the Office was made through
one of the windows the spring latch, which
held the sash down, having been broken.
The safe contained no money at all, and has
only been used for books and papers.
Among other things taken were the
vouchers of the treasurer for last year.
The vouchers have no value whatever to
any one except the treasurer. It does not
affect him In any way except to put him to
the trouble Of getting his accounts from his
books. Mr.. Fuller, the treasurer, thinks
that the ject of the robbery was to cover
up some of the rasca itY of the political
martyrs in Jail. Friday afternoon he took
out several search warrants and, among
other places searched, was the county jail.
II IS needless to say that nothing has been
found.
