A Charleston Scai!!
Wild Rumors of q Bloody
Riot Of Negro Factory
Hands.
Sceciai 10 The Sts.e

Special TO The Sta'e
Charleston, Aug 25 "A serious
riot was narrowly y averted this after
noon near the cotton factory which
gave rise to the widest kinds of ru-
mors on the streets to the effect that
the expected clash between the white
and negro operatives had at last
taken place. The trouble arose by
Police Officer Walton ordering a
number Of negroes to clear off the
the sidewalk One particularly i'm
pundent negro, refused to obey the
officers order and was Immediately
placed under arrest The negro re-
sisted arrest and when the officer
brought his club into action
a number Of the negroes
jumped upon him Ex Lieu.
tenant of Police Fordham, a brave
and very respectable colored citizen,
who now has position in the mill,
seized his rife and came to the assist
ance Of Walton His action saved
the officers life and had the effect of
subduing the blood thirstiness of
the negroes
The riot can had in the mean
time been sent in and in a short
while Capt Martin, Lieut.. Ogilvie
and squad of police had arrived up
on the scene Six Of the ringleaders
were Immediately arrested and sent
to the station The charge entered
on the books is resisting arrest and
assaulting the officer 1t is probable
that the charge of rioting will also
be preferred
Capt Martin, in speaking of the
trouble to a representative of The
State tonight, said that from what he
had learned, the offending parties
were not mill operatives There
seems, however, to be some doubt on
this point, as several have been found
who say that the negroes were en-.
ployed at the mills The Write opera
tiyes, who still frequent the neighbor-
hood had no hand in the disturbance.
It is said that the officers of the
mills are thinking about doing away
with negro labor and coming back to
the white. and this report probably
accounts for the general impression
that the negroes, fearful of losing
their jobs, are disposed to create
trouble, as number of mill hands
from Langley are in the city, which
seems to give color to the rumor that
the days of negro labor are numbered
