1t Was Brought on by Negroes Attack Upon
Gentleman-A Number of Shots
Exchanged.

Florence, Sept. 17.-(Special)-There
was a conflict between whites and blacks
in Colbert's reserve, this county, last
night, which resulted in one negro being
instantly killed and others being thrown
into the widest excitement, with a good
chance for further trouble. John Rowell
was the negro VINO was killed.
The trouble all grew out of an assault
Tuesday night upon w. L. Sherrod, a
well known planter, by a negro named
Patton. Sherrod was driving home from
town with his wife and children when
Patton attacked him with rocks, knock
ing him from his carriage and seriously
injuring him. Sherrods brother went to
see him and while there got into an al
tercation with negro woman, which
was taken up by some negro men. That
night a party of white men came up on
a crowd of armed negroes. number of
shots We're exchanged, and when the
smoke had blown away John towel was
the only negro present, and he was dead.
There is a good deal of excitement in
the reserve, which is eight or ten miles
from this city. II is feared there will be
further trouble of serious nature.
