THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

brave war record in the Confederate army, states that he never joined in the movement to have the negroes vote and pledges all his efforts in the fu- ture for the sustaining of white su- premacy in South Carolina.
 In the meantime the negro hunt went on, the Tolbert hunt having been aban- doned. Wherever negro was found he was shot down.
 It is doubtful if any of the men who had a hand in the shooting of Etheridge have been killed. Nearly all of those who were slain were not only inno- cent of participating in the earlier trou- ble and of firing on the whites at Piney Grove Church, but were unarmed. When a negro was found no questions were asked He had merely to run and the mob riddled his back with buck shot and bullets. At one place by the roads there was a pile of five dead ne- groes as late as Thursday afternoon.
 While the excitement was at its height a movement was started to burn the houses of the Tolberts. Wiser coun- sel prevailed and this was not done. Both Governor Ellerbe and Senator Tillman are in favor of shooting colored men in order to keep them in subjec- tion. Tillman himself participated in the great Hamburg riot in 1886. In speaking of the Governors conduct a Greenyille paper said that the Governor on Tuesday, when there was rioting at the polls, remained calm, and that on Wednesday, when white men were hunting the colored men all over Green

Election day came and all the negroes of Greenwood County who were quail fled to vote through coming up to the requirement of the South Carolina con- stitution were told by the Tolberts to go to the polls and vote for Robert Rhett Tolbert for Congress. Phoenix, which was one of the polling places, consists of a cross roads country store. It was here that the race war in South Carolina began.
 The polling place was on the second floor Every time a negro applied to vote for Robert Rhe.t "olbert his vote was refused. whether he owned $500 and could read and write or not. Thomas Tolbert Jr. was in charge Of the negroes at this polling place. He asked permission to take the affldavits of the negroes that they were qualified voters and were not allowed to vote. In the room where the ballot boxes were this was refused so he went down. stairs, had blanks filled out in regular form signed and acknowledged by a notary public. As each affidavit was made it was folded and put into bal lot box which the Republicans had pro- vided
 This went on for some time until J. I. Etheridge, a prominent white man In the community, tried to stop the pro- ceedings As matter of fact Mr. Etheridge had no more right to inter-
 
 There was no danger of negro supre- macy; there was no danger of the Dem ocratic candidate for Congress being unseated, because the contest could not possibly amount to anything, and in ad- dition to this, Phoenix was not in Mr. Etheridge's voting place. Mir Etheridge'S interference resulted in a fight. and during this fight Mr. Etheridge was shot and died almost in- stantly.
 THE WHITES TO ARMS.
 Then the whites flew to arms. A Tolbert and negro hunt began, which lasted for three days. Most of the ne groes took to the woods and were hard to find.
 At the close of the second days riot ing some negroes fired upon a party of whites from ambush at Piney Grove Church, wounding two of them. Armed white men secured the country In every direction.
 The fury of the mob was directed more especially toward the Tolberts. Thomas Tolbert had been shot and mortally wounded in the fight at the polling place. Major John R. Tolbert was driving along the road with his 15-year- nephew when the whites fired on him. He was shot In the back with buckshot and in the head with bird shot. Ills nepHeW was also WOunQ- ed with buckshot. Some of the promi- nent Democrats assisted the elder Tol- bert to a place of safety. but later when the rioters learned his where abouts, they went to the house deter mined to kill him.
 He made his escape, however, and reached Columbia, three days after he had been shot. with none of the forty six leaden pellets that had entered his flesh vet removed. The other Tolberts and the whites who had been connected with them in the movement got out of the county as best they could The only Tolberts who remained were brothers of John R. Tolbert. Thomas, senior. had remained in Abbeville and was not molested. The mob pursued Elias l.. Tolbert to the house of a prominent Democrat, but was finally persuaded to disperse. Since that time Elias L. Tolbert has printed a most ab- 1ect letter, in which he alludes to his

wood County, he became calmer still, On Wednesday, when the r1ot1ng reached it's climax, the Governor was as serene as a summer morning, and on Saturday, when the trouble was all over and most of the white men had put away their guns, the Governor sent an impassoned dispatch to Greenwood de- manding that the rioting stop.
 Major Tolbert has returned to his post as Collector of the Port at Charles ton All the other Tolberts except those badly wounded, together with their relatives and associates, have gone to Washington to get satisfaction through Federal interference.
 The burning question of the hour Is what will become of the Tolberts. The white mems party around Greenwood declare that if they return to their homes they will be killed and their houses will be burned over their dead bodies.
 This is evidently no joke. It has hap pened again and again to white Repub- licans all over the South. It has hap pened as frequently in South Carolina as in any other State. What South Carolina mob can do when aroused was shown at Lake City, where the colored Postmaster and his entire family were either murdered or burned to death. Apparently the average country white in South Carolina has made up his mind to use the shotgun and the torch as long as the negroes are appointed to office or are encouraged to be active in politics.

CYCIIST IN AFRICA
 CHASED BY "A LION

round and almost had a fit when I saw a full-grown lion standing across the road, broadside on, with his head turn- ed toward me- and, as I looked, he started in pursuit.
 "I attempted to mount my machine, but owing to the slope and my excite ment l failed twice. The third time I succeeded in getting away, and I did pedal for all l was worth, but the ma chine kept wobbling across the road and I saw that the lion had lessened the distance between us by about half, though I was still fifty yards from the top of the slope. He kept up a low growing all the time, and I could hear him more and more distinctly every time as he still lessened the distance between us.
 I think l could easily have outstrip- ped him if it had been level, but the machine kept up rattle, rattle over the inequalities in the road, and once or twice l was, almost thrown off. I did not dare to look back; indeed, there was no need, as the growl plainly told me that he was almost on me, but at last l reached the crest and flew down the opposite slope. I then suddenly re- membered that there was an open cul- vert across the road some 200 yards ahead, but there was no time to dis mount, so I rode into 1t, and the shock flung me high out of the saddle, but fell back on 1t without being knocked off Fortunately the side of the drain next the hill was high and the opposite side low, so that the machine was not stuck in the culvert, and though the front fork was twisted and the front wheel grated against 1t 1t was not quite damned and I was able to ride on When reached the smooth part of the road near my first plantation was able to get up good rate of speed. but no longer heard the growl in the rear.

SANTIAGO, July 1 (via Kingston.
July 2).-The battle of Santiago was
going on before daybreak this morning.
A plateau 800 by 100 yards in extent
was occupied by Capt. Grimes bat
terry. About forty men were busy
building for the four Founders and 81
calibre guns. A valley of great depth
interviewed between the plateau and
Santiago, which was fully exposed on
the ridge opposite, 200 yards away.
The hospitals were flying Red Cross
flags and men were seen nfassed be-
fore the barracks. From Santiago the
ridge slopes northward, ending virtual
~ at a large hacienda called San
Juan. Outside the village of Caney
along this ridge, earthworks and rifle
pits were visible. The order of battle
was as follows.
First and Second cavalry of the Sec
ond brigade: Third and Sixth cavalry
and one squadron of the Ninth cavalry
Cf the First brigade, and the First
United States volunteer cavalry and
rough riders of the Second brigade,
massed ON the left of the plateau. Four
guns held the plateau. Gen. Garcia,
with 5000 Cuhans, WIS down in the
valley in front OF the plateau. Gen.
Kent's division formed the left wing,
and Gen. Lawton's tine right, with the
cavalry detailed as above, all dis
mounted, and the Cubans forming the
TANKS. The order of advance was in
