planting of wild flowers in our door

Now is the time TO trim apple trees,
but this must be done with great care

Fight on the Train.

There was bloody fight on tie Au-
gusta and Blackville train. between
Augusta and Langley, Aiken county,
last Saturday night. The comDatants
were Negroes and whites. According to
the story as published, it was pay day
at the factories and a large crowd OF
factory operatives were returning from
Augusta, where they had been spend
ing the day. A crowd Of Negroes en-
ployed on the electric line, also boarded
the train, pretty we'll liquored up. TWO
Negroes got into a row and a white
man endeavored to make them behave.
They showed fight. One Of the Ne
groes, a noted desperate, drew his pis-
tol and began firing into car that was
filled with men, women and children.
The whites had no pistols. 1t seemed as
If each Negro had such weapon. Both
sides drew knives and there was fear
full cutting and slashing. When quiet
was partially restored, 1t developed
that eleven white men had been more
or less seriously hurt, and from ten to
twenty Negroes were in the same fix.
When the train stopped at Langley,
the two Negroes who were originally
responsible for the row. were taken off
and put in the calaboose. Shortly af-
terward n crowd Of whites broke into
the calaboose and shot the two men
dead. There has been much excitement
in the vicinity since and threats of fur
ther outbreaks: but as yet nothing else
of serious nature has developed.

LocKHARr, June 30.-I saw an arti-
Gle in THE ENQUIRER setting forth the
fact that the Lockhart cornet band mad
disbanded. I am very sorry TO say
that the statement Is practically true.
The organization still holds, and each
member still holds his instrument Tor
solo practice. While the practice meet
ings have been discontinued there IS
some hope that at some day. not far dis
tant. more band men will seek en-
poyment at the mil, which would In
crease their numbers so they could
move on.
Mr.. John Ross, son Of Mr.. VIM. Ross,
(overseer of the cloth room) has been
lately installed as a grocery salesman
in Lockhart store.
Mrs. John Keasler Is very sick, but II
is hoped that she is somewhat improV-
ed.
We had a considerable wind and rain
storm last Thursday evening, but II
passed by us without material injury. =
DR.. Hope informs me that the WIND
did considerable damage to his orchard
by breaking the trees and blowing on
the fruit. He says that had his fruit
come to maturity, possibly he would
have had $l0O worth to sell; but as 1t
Is he will not have enough for home
consumption. The wind damaged some
of his out buildings, and when the
doctor sums it all up he feels thankful
that it is as we'll with him as 1t Is.
Rev. Mr.. McLeash, Of Greenwood,
Presbyterian evangelist, has been hold
ing a meeting here. He Is a preacher
of much power. Ten members have
been added to the church. He Is blind,
or nearly so. I am Informed that when
a boy he was accidentally shot IN the
face while out bird hunting, with the
above result.
Since my last letter. Mr.. Marion
Smith. Of the Kings Creek section, has
severed his connection as salesman In

sition with a firm in Columbia.
