shot Mrs. McClelland and her son and
returned to his farm and fortified him

THE OVER
Report Of the Sheriff to the Governor
Of south Carolina that Matfers are
Quiet In the e NeighborhoOd

Washington, November IA spe-
cial to The Post from Columbia, s. c.,
gives the following story of today's
developments in the rae riots in that
state:
Sheriff McCaslan, of Greenwood
county in which Phoenix is located
wired the governor today: Things
perfectly quiet and excitement all gone.
You cannot rely upon sensational ru-
mors."
Late news from the scene of the re-
cent lynchings indicated that the angry
passions of the people are subsiding
and no further bloodshed is now to be
expected unless two negroes, Circuit
and White, or Henderson, a white man,
all of whom the crowds wish to secure,
are found. There is every reason to
believe that all three have made good
their escape.
The feeling against the TOlberts
seems to be intense. An impartial man
who has been at the scene of the diff
Guilty says: IF the Tolberts return to
their homes any one time soon trouble
will inevitably follow their presence
in the neighborhoOd, which for some
time to come, if ever, will not be a safe
place for them. They are looked upon
as the meters of the trouble. 1t is
| generally thought dangerous to allow
| the two Tolberts to come here.
This morning notice was given Jas.
| Tolbert, whose wife is postmaster at
| Mccormick, that he would be allowed
thirty-six hours to leave but that his
| wife and children will be cared for
and protected. Although James A.
Tolbert is not known to have had any
| thing to do with the recent troubles,
it is said that he left, going no one
| knows where. Mrs. TOlbert, it is stat
ed, is making preparations to leave.
1t is supposed that James was accom-
panied to a point of safety by armed
negroes, a band of them being reported
in the country today.
A NEW DEVELOPMENT.
Atlanta, Ga, November ia Jour
nal special from Greenwood, S. c..
says: Everything was believed tC
have settled into it's normal state al
Phoenix City today, but a telegram
from there says word was sent tc
Columbia to hold John R.. TOlbert and
his son Sidney who are in the peniten.
tiary. The telegram said affldavits
duplicating the Tolberts in the recent
race troubles were on the way to Co.
lumbia and it is now believed it is the
intention to bring the TOlberts bacl
to Phoenix City. If this is done it i:
feared further trouble will result al
though leading citizens are deprecatins
any further violence.

Admiral Schley's visit brought up
the Porto Rico question. The admiral,
VINO was accompanied by Secretary
Long, was invited to participate in the
discussion. The report was an interest
ing recital Of all of the circumstances
OF American occupation, but the re-
port itself was not given out.
concerning Cuba a defnite conclu-
sion was arrived at by the cabinet to
open a port on the-western coast of
the island, probably at C~ienfuegos,
about December LIST. in order to allow
the larger planters to get in their ma
miner and begin work on the new
sugar crop.
The situation in the Carolinas was
referred to, only incidentally, the at
torney general making the statement
that no evidence had yet reached him
which would warrant the federal gov
eminent in Interfering.
DISCUSSING THE PHOENIX RIOTS
Postmaster Genera Emory Smith
today had a call from the delegation
of South Carolina republicans who are
in the city to lay before the Depart

of recent election riOting at Phoenix,
in that state. They included r. r. Toll

brother and father were both wounded;
ANdllOldI committeeman L. II. DCdo,
one of the colored leaders. The object
of the call simply was to talk yer the
matter of recommendations for ap-
pointments to postoffices vacant and
about to become so. Incidentally the
matter of the late riots was discussed,
but the department Of justice say there
is nothing for them to do, as the ques-

Wholly Coolies Guilty.

The Jury in the Wholly Cody case,
on Tuesday, at Hagerstown, after
being out but thirty minutes, found
Thomas Barry, Samuel Newcomer,
OFT Sharar and Harry 10y guilty on
all five charges of malicious mischief
and desecrating RivervieW Cemetery,
Williamsport. The courthouse was
packed when the verdict was rendered.
The verdict was received amid muir
murings of approval from the large
audience. The jury only took one
ballot. Three of the counts charged
malicious mischief and two of the
charges were for desecrating the Gene
tery. There are still three other in
6ictments against the accused-foi
destroying the Dorsey, Wolf and Find
Law monuments. These will not be
pressed, as counsel for the accused
will make no defense. The State will
probably enter up judgment OF
guilty in the other three indictments.
The accused were found guilty oulthe
indictment charging the demolition
of the Castle monument. Though
ninety.six monuments and tomb
stones altogether were overturned oil
destroyed on the night OF January 10,
the State took account Of only four.
