On Monday afternoon last,
Hamp Mobley, a negro bully of
the WaXhaws in this county, went
over to Leslie's across the river
IN York county, and hitching his
mule in front of Mr. j j Whites
store, began cursing Mr. White
about payments on n sewing ma
chine. Blows were passed and in
the scrimmage the negro got Mr.
White down and was beating HIM
up with brass knucks when Mrs
White ran out to beg them to
desist fighting when the negro
struck her above the eve knocking
her senseless. Mr. White ran in
to the house TO: his gun when
Hamp made tcacks down the road
leaving his mule and hat behind.

was soon in pursuit of him but
they failed to find him.
A warrant was sent over to
Sheriff Clyburn and on Wednes.
day morning he and his deputies
made n search in the Waxhsws
for Hamp but could hear nothing
of him. Thursday night the
Sheriff concluded to make another
effort to find him and with depu-
ties Wilson and Moore and Con-
stables Sims and Caskey went to
Hamp's house. They found him
barricaded in n small hut near his
home only a few hundred wards
this side of the North Carolina
line. He bid defiance to the
posse, cursing and swearing that
he would kill the first one who
opened the door. The Sheriff kept
very cool under the circumstances.
He tried to persuade the darkey
that he had better submit ana save
trouble. When it seemed that he
would not he persuaded the Sheriff

until it became light when they
would take him dead or alive.
After an hour, perhaps, Hamp
called to them and said that if the
sheriff was really with them he
would surrender to him. He then
made big light in the room and
on being convinced that the Sheriff
was present he opened the door
and admitted him. Hamp excused
himself to the Sheriff for not ad-
mittlng him sooner by saying that
he thonght his posse was a mob
that had been in pursuit of him
and he expected them to try and
kill him. Besides an axe at the
door, Hamp had double barreled

with cartridges.

"WlNTHROP."

please be SO kind as to allow me
enough space in you, columns to
say a, word or two, in order that
the readers of The Ledger might
have some idea us to our savings
and doings at Winthrop.
We are now nearing the end of
our second term of school, and
then there is left just little less
than four months of study before
the "glad home going
SO far we have had a very
pleasant and profitable year, and
| am quite sure that the remaining
part will be spent equally as well.
We girls were made very glad
last Saturday week ago, when
our beloved president Mr. johnson
returned to us able in strength to
take his place among us again.
Yet during the absence of Mr.
johnson we found a faithful and
ever helping friend in Mr. Moses,
who for the last two or three
months has performed the duties
of presidency, as well as those of
the Normal Department of the
college. During the last three or
four months we have had
the opportunity of attending some
very entertaining and instructive
concerts given in college chapel on
9riday nights. Some of which |
will mention: New York Male
Quartette, 'Knowberg Grand
Concert Company IF Hosmikson
Smith, 'Chas + Underhill,' and
Sherwood Company
Among the college organizations
are two Literary Societies, "Win-
throp," and "Curry," and Y w
C A. Our Y w G A is doing a
noble work. We have sent two
d G egates, Misses Annie
Perry and Mary Bowen, to the
National Association which con
venes at Cleveland, o., this week.
AS to the societies they are also
doing grand work; but of course
every one has their choice of
things, SO the writer of this has
"Winthrop" as her choice.
a few evenings ago "Ninthrop'
entertained "Curry," the faculty
and other members Of the college
very pleasantly. The subject of
the evening was Tennyson. The
program was as follows:

The 'Qui Vive' is a journal kept
