ing home from Mr.. Ezclls, he
reached the Foster bridge, across
tho Pacolct, just about dark, al4t
while in the covered portion was
attacked by four negroes. The,
handled him very roughly, cuttins
his coat to pieces in search O
money. Thcy evidently know o
Mr.. Griffin having money in hi!
possession, for he had borroHcd j
from Mr.. Ravenel Of Spartanburg
tc buy 100 bushels of corn with
and one of the robbers was with
him at tho time. Mr.. Griffin wa:
relieved of 1880, when he was
turned loose. Mr.. Griffin at once
alarmed the settlement, and search
was made for the negroes. There
had been light fall Of snow, and
they wero tracked to Mr.. Dave
Moore's place and to a cabin occu-
pied 10y four negroes, who lived
in the same house, viz, George
Nesbit, MIN Castleherry, Brooks
Ferguson and jim Brawley. AT
: O'Clock Sunday night the house
WAS surrounded, and all Of the in
mates found at homo oxccpt
George Nesbit, who was q Mis-.
sioncry Baptist preacher, who had
gono to Cowpcns TO hold q rcli.
gious meeting. Bcing confronted
with tho testimony, the thro,
negroes captured confessed theil
guilt, and said that Ncsbit was
with them also, and had tho money
in his possession. Officers were
at once sent on to Cowp.ns &c
apprehcnd the leader. There is nc
doubt but that those four negroes
were banded together as highway
men. Twice recently nan havo
been held up at the bridge, but
thc last one, when ordered to halt,
began to fire at the negroes with
his pistol and they broke and ran
away. Ono of tho negroes was
from Cross Anchor, one from
