THE ToIBERTs IN TOWN.
The POstmnstcriof Mccormick Tell
al His Flight.

James Tolbart, postmaster of Mccor-
mick, S. C., who was ordered to leave
that town yesterday morning, arrived in
this city today. and is now stopping at
the st. James Hotel. Jim" Tolbert, as
he is politically known, is a cousin to
Robert Red Tolbert. the Republican
nominee for Congress from the Third
South Carolina district, who was the di-
rect cause OF the riots at the Phoenix
polls on Tuesday.
While Tolbert was not directly con-
nected with his cousins campaign and
lived twenty-five miles from Phoenix,
the scene of the rioting, he was neverthe-
less held responsible for part of the
trouble and ordered by the Democrats TO
leave the State.
Tolbert, of Mccormick, states that he
had no idea of the contemplation OF the
Democratic party to rid the State of him
until he was served with notice, which
was signed by over a hundred persons. to
the effect that he was to be given thirty
six hours in which he might leave the
town.
The first intimation that ! had of any
trouble was the appearance of body Of
men who came TO my door and handed me
a piece OF paper said Tolbert this morn
ing. which demanded my leaving the
State in thrty-sM hours. 1t was signed
by the prominent Democrats of the town,
who promised me protection for that
length OF time. Although the party which
served the notice on me had assured me
protection. there was a crowd of men
lurking around my house armed with Win
chester rifles all day long, who threatened
to shoot me on sight / afterwards learn

along the line with orders to kill me at
the first opportunity.

over five miles, until | reached the home

only crime is that they belong TO the
