has our thanks for some valuable Congress
sional documents and garden seeds sent us.
The weather for the past week has been
| quite unsettled, and this is no doubt the
cause of a great deal Of grippe. Several of
i .visnoors have peen complaining and
some of them have been right bad off lately
| The disease is mostly confined 10 middle
| aged and older persons.
Last Thursday the boys had little fun
dragging fox hide and setting pack of
| hounds after it. 1t is estimated that the
| drag was about three miles in length, and
| the dogs went the rounds in les than 6ve
| minutes.
A few days ago an old army comrade
! asked us if we had ever seen time when we
would have been glad to come up on those
Spartanburg negroes while they were whip

IN This township, during Christmas times,
We learn that white man who was attend
ing n negro festival insulted some OF The
party and got used up with knives and
sticks, and he is still lying in dangerous
condition. The principal canse Of this
| trouble, as we learn it, is too revolving to
daeency to publish in n respectable newsra-
| er for decent people TO read and therefore
! we asked to be excused from doing So How
| ever We have no sympathy for white man
who loses his self-respcct (if he ever had
! ANY, and makes the very lowest class Of
| Railroad negroes h;s associates.
nj ub rf no, he J;s-
| pensary man at Spnrtanburg, some time ago
mas created good deal of excitement among
| the people of this section. That outrage is
| denounced by both 1illmanites end anti
! Tilmanites alike, and repetition of il Tor
! anything akin thereto) under similar circum-
! stances will surely add bloody chapter to
our State history. The case to yhiSh we
| have lust alluded is a white mar out Of his
-ad he ,IE-efsa' no sympathy, the lat
place, aud aH officer Of the
ter is q white mau. ---..s pro.ec-
State in his place, and hc des,. -
ton. Consequently, there is nc iuconsls-
tcncy in he position of our people in regard
TO the two men. We live within a thirty
miles ride OF Spartanburg anu II such thing
occurs there again before Gov. Tillman can
get his rifle companies there the work will be
done. This is no idlo threat on our part
Ii is the sentiment Of our people who have
deliberately made up their verdict in this
outrage.

ter of Col ID Arcy Z. duncan, will teach the
