Greenwood, S. &. Nov. -Four
Negroes were killed today at
Rehobeth church, between here
and Phoenix, several are believed
to have been badly hurt and the
end is not yet.
Greenwood has passed through
day of intense excitement and
now Phoenix is again calling for
help tonight. A posse is being
organized to go there. 1t is feared
that the Tolberts will be routed
opt of their homes and killcd-at
least all that remain. But for a
few cool heads the entire family
would have been cXtermlnated
by the mobs today.
Kchobcth Methodist church is
a few miles from Phoenix and on
the road from here to PhmniX and
near where Miller and Fleming
were shot from ambush last night.
The four negroes killed there are
Hamp Mckinney, Columbus
jackson, Jessie Williams and
Sam Watts The last three of
these are thought to be innocent
of the rioting though they were
present ut the killing of Ethridge
ut PhwniX box yesterday morning.
/ The crowd was not certain of the
guilt Of Mckinney. He was
wounded in the hip in the first
/ fusilade at Phoenix. Will White
and Harry Circuit, the negroes
supposed to be guilty of the
murder of Ethridge, have not up
to this hour been caught.
The mob had eleven negroes
under arrest at Rchobcth whom
they were going to shoot but the
other seven made their escape
during the confusion that followed
the shooting. VolIey after volley
was fired into the fleeing men. 1t
is believed that all seven are
wounded, some probably fatally.
These seven are Marion Daniel,
S b Bacan, Robert Daniel, George
Logan, Lewis end Frank Latimer
and Charlie White. No white
men were injured today, though
a party of 25 horsemen were fred

Wilmington, N. c., Nov. S.
This city is in State of excited
anticipation of a race riot tonight,
which for intensenesS has had no
equal during all the remarkable
'white supremacy" campaign
which has just terminated in a
sweeping victory for the white
mans party. Every street corner
is clowded with men.
ARMED WITH wINCHESTERS
the military is drawn up in line,
and the most conservative men
fear the worst.
This threatening situation has
been brought about by.action taken
today in a great mass meeting of
the business, or, more strictly
speaking, white men of Whining
ton, held in the court house at II

the most sensational feature of
which is clause which demands
that Editor Manley OF The Record,

city, leave Wilmington and New
Hanover county within "a hours
after the issuance of the procla

"According to Law" AL
most in the Twinkling
Of an Eye.


Wilmington, Nov. 1O.-This
has been turbulent day indeed
in Wilmington. Race war and
revolution have held high carnival.
Early this morning a body of
fully 1000 representative white
men destroyed the Office building
and plant OF the negro daily, The
Record, and would have lynched
the editor had if not been that
the fellow had previously left the
city. A few hours later q fight
arose between white guards by
whom every block inhabited by
white people was being patroled-
and a mob of several hundred ne
groes.
Pandemonium reigned. The
mayor, S p Wright, Chief of
Police j G. Melton and the board
ofO aldermen fusion negro
regime, became terrorized and
resigned under the direction of a
citizens committee. Their sue
cessors were elected, SO that now
ex-Congressman A Nj Waddell is
mayor. Edgar q Parmelee is
chief of police and a new board of
aldermen has assumed the reins of
government. Peace and order
have been restored, and 500 special
policemen, many mounted and on
bicycles, are patrolling the streets.
About 500 armed citizens and
military from Fayetteville, Win
stOn, Goldsboro anc elsewhere are
here to help maintain order.
THE DEAD AND WOUNDED
Now that the ''smokc has clear
ed away" and conditions are some
what more settled, it aopcars that
10 negroes were killed outright
and at least 25 arc III re or less
seriously wounded, and II others,
whose conduct has been offensive
and calculated TO aggravatc the
strained attitude of the races. are
locked in Jail. Not a single white
man has been killed and only one,
William Mayo, seriously wounded.
ONE MORE hILLED
Wilmington, \. G., Nov. 10.
Another negro was killed to-
night at Tenth and Mulberry
street. He was hailed by guard
but refused to halt, and, continu-
ing to advance, was shot by the
guard.
Three companies of the State
militia will arrive during the
night from ncighboring cities and
! all in maintaining order.
4 crowd was formed tonight to
take from the Jail and lynch two
negroes, Thomas Miller and Ira
Bryant, who were arrested today,
charged with making threats, and
were regarded as dangerous
characters.
The new mayor, Col. Waddell,
promptly prohibited the assem-
bling of the crowd at the jail and
. himself headed a guard of 25 men
with Winchesters to guard the
prisoners.

Greenwood, S. c., No.. S.-A
terrific election riot occurred to-
day at Phoenix, ten miles south of
here. j. b. Ethridge, one of
the democratic managers, is dead,
Steve Tolbert, ten years old, son
of Elias Tolbert, is fatally
wounded. Stewart Miller, of
ninety, Six, is expected to die, and
Mike Younger has his right ankle
fractured by a pistol bullet.
The negro who shot Younger is
said on good authority to be dead.
1t is thought that several negroes
are lying dead in the road in front
Of L l. Tolbert's house four miles
west of Phoenix where the most
terrific pitched battle occurred at
4 o'clock.
At 1880 o'clock, SO far as can
be learned, all the surrounding
country is quiet and no further
trouble Is expected till tomorrow
morning.
There are now camped at
Phoenix 400 or 500 white men
armed with Winchesters, shot
guns and pistols. They are sur
rounded by about an equal num-
Der of equally we'll armed ne
groes lying in ambush on all ap-
proaches to that settlement.
Capt. f. S. Evans, of the old
Maxwell Guards, which disbanded
here recently, is now collecting
thirty picked men to 90 to Phoenix
at daybreak. He has thirty rifles
in :he armory here but all day
has not been able to get ammuni-
ton. Late tonight Elberton, Ga. ,
wired that she would send 1000
rounds at | o'clock tomorrow
morning.
The riot was the outgrowth of
a political scheme on the part of
Rhett ToIbcrt, republican op-
poncnt t" Congressman Latimcr.
Monday word was received that
the negroes were instructed to
concentrate their vote at the
PhTniN box and 90 to the polls
ready to fight. The idea was to
put in an independent box there
where the negroes who were re-
fused permission to vote ut the
regular box for lack of rcnistra
ton certificates might deposit
their protests and votes for Tot
bert and furnish evidence for him
in his proposed contest of Lati-
mer's seat. The boxes we've i'm a
vacant store at Phoenix, the con
gressional up stairs. Down stairs
near the front door opening on a
front porch Robert l. Talbert,
brother of Rhett, placed this in
dependent box and stayed to
preside over it. The democratic
managers protested that this was
illegal. They first requested and
then demanded that it be removed.
Tolbert refused, having about
thirty negroes near the porch
ready to shoot. Ethridge went
down between 8 and 8 o'cit ck in
the morning to remove the box.
AS he laid hands on it a Negro
shot him through the head, the
bullet entering between the eyes
and just above the nose. Ethridge
tfeli over the box and died instant.

LANCASTER. 5. g.. NOV. y 1893

Iy.
About ten white men standing
by then fired into the crowd of
negroes and they fled like deer,
never stopping to return the fire.
Tolbert who was in the line of
the white mans fire, walked off
the porch from them. ne Was
struck by shotgun charge in his
head and shoulders. Seven No. 3
shot entered but his wounds are
not considered dangerous. 1t is
reported from Phoenix that not a
negro VAS injured there.
At 9 O'Clock this morning
Greenwood received a telephone
communication of the tragedy.
Fifty armed men were asked for
and sixty of the leading men of
the town responded IN few
minutes, some mounted and others
in buggies. The hardware stores
sold out their stocks Of arms be-
fore night and all day parties
were leaving here for the scene.
Parties from adjoining towns also
streamed into Phoenix.
AT 2 o'clock party of forty
left Phpnix for Thomas Tolbert' s
house to find out from him who
the negro was that shot Ethridge.
They reached the house in safety
and interviewed Tolbert who gave
them no satisfaction, saying all
he knew was that he went to the
box to vote and was shot all to
pieces. The crowd stayed in the
house about ten minutes accord.
ing to the statement of an eve
witness who returned here at 10
O'Clock tonight. After they had
gotten out of the house and were
on the way back to Phenix John
Il Iolbert appeared in his buggy
with the boy Sieve at the head of
a party of forty armed negroes.
10 his hencehmen he yelled
"Come on boys, here they are. Z"
The white party answered, invit.-
ing them on. The battle was
precipitated by pistol shot from
a negro in the lead of Tolbert' s
party. Instantly, the firing be-
came general, Tolbert leading the
charge of his men with splendid
daring. The smoke of battle was
dense about 800 shots, being fired
IN three minutes, but through it
could be seen Tolbcrt's white
horse being Iashed into the white
party.
/ Younger, observing the danger
OF the boy, yelled to his party,
"Don't fire on that buggy, boys,
you will kill the little boy"
The child was screaming with
fright, but ToIbert pushel on
within few yards of the white
party, when his horse be-
came unmanage BILE and suddenly
turned and fled, carrying Tolocrt
and his nephew back into the ne
gro party. AS the vehicle turned
and disappeared its top was rid
died with bullets.
1t is supposed that number of
negroes were killed in this battle
but the whites did not wait to in
vestlgate. The firing did not ceas c
until members of the white party
yelled, "Stop shooting, Younger
is killed." The negroes had fled.
Younger was placed in buggy
and the party started back to
PhTnix.
