 Mrs. PinI1ham claims that there is kind of dyspepsia that is caused by derangement of the female organ ism, and which, while it causes dis turbance similar to ordinary indiges- ton, cannot be relieved without a medicine which not only acts as stomach tonic, but has peculiar uterine tonic effects as well.

uprising and there was a great deal
OF excitement for a time, with the
result that the doctor was run out
OF the community. A year later
the same experience was repeated
with another negro doctor, J. w. T.
Patterson, with the same result.
Clarence Brooks, the young man
who killed the negro Sizer, and
whose act was the cause of the
Threatened negro uprising, is the
seventeen-year old son of Mr.. &. A,
Brooks. He is under 5000 bond
and it is said will be prosecuted.
1t is matter of congratulation
to the people of the community and
the whole county, that the affair on
Friday night ended with so little
serious results. Had there been
any demonstration by the negroes
there Is no doubt that blood would
have been freely split. All is quiet
tor the present, but it is not know
at what time the trouble will break
out again.
NEGRO REPORTED KILLED.
1t has been reported on the streets
otNewberry and elsewhere through
out the county that early Friday
night negro, carrying a lighted
lantern, was seen near the Odd Eel
lows hall, and that when he was
questioned and replied that he was
black man, he was fired upon and
killed. A representative of The
Herald and News reached the scene
shortly after 8 o'clock Friday night
and remained until 7 o'clock Satur-
day morning, and no such act came
within his notice. 1t may be that
some one was fired upon, but it
appears that the report that any
one was killed is unfounded.

RACE TROUBLE WAS
SERIOUSLY EXPECTED,
VAUGHANVILLE WAS THROWN INTTj
GREAT EXCITEMENT FRIDAY NIGHT,
Negro Odd Fellows Hall Was Burned.-As-
SiStance From Newberry Was
Asked and Rendered,

Serious race trouble was threat
ened at Vaughanville, in the upper
portion OF the county, near the Lau-
rens line, ON Friday night. The
trouble, however, seems to have
passed over without other serious
result than the burning of the ne
gro Odd Fellows hall, the mem-
bers of which organization were
supposed to be at the bottom of the
trouble which was expected.
On Friday afternoon the report
became circulated at Vaughanville
that the negroes had sent to Chap
pells for arms, and that they would
hold meeting at the Odd Fellows
hall Friday night, after which they
would wait on young Clareuce M.
Brooks, who on Saturday night a
week ago shot and killed negro,
Raymond Sizer, as the coroner's
jury said, in self-defense, and that
they would also call upon the gen
tlemen who helped to bury Sizer.
The account Of this shooting, to-
gether with the evidence taken at
the coroner's inquest, was pub
hshed in The Herald and News at
the time. Sizer was a prominent
member of the negro lodge of Odd
Fellows, which has long been dis
turbing element in the community.
1t will be remembered that after the
inquest Sizer's relatives or any
other negroes refused to touch the
body, and that a coffin was made
and the body buried by the white
people, the members of the coro-
ner's jury and young Brooks attor-
ney, Mr.. Cole. L. Blease, assisting
in the interment. The relatives of
the dead negro had ordered coffin
from Cross Hill, but turned it back
when it reached Vaughanville.
Next day after the body was buried
by the white Pc pie the negroes
opened the grave, placed the body
in another coffin, and reburied it at
a point about mile distant from
the first grave. The reason for
this action and why the negroes
should wish to call upon the white
men who buried the body, is unex-
planned.
Since Steers death the negro Odd
Fellows, Of which he was a mem-
Der, have held very frequent meet.
ings, a representative of The Herald
and News was informed by the peo-
pie OF Vaughanville, and have made
numerous threats. These threats,
taken in connection with the re-
ports which became circulated Fri
day afternoon, caused great excite
ment in the community, and seri-
Gus trouble was feared.
A 'phone message was sent to
Newberry for assistance at about
four O'Clock Friday afternoon, and
a party Of twelve Immediately left
for VaughanvilIe, twenty-one miles
distant. When the Newberry party,
accompanied by a representative OF
The Herald and News, arrived on
the scene, there was no indication
of trouble, except there were about
thirty five white men in the little
store Of Mr.. Whit Goodwin, armed
to the teeth with double barrelIed
shot guns and small arms, and pre-
pared to meet any trouble which
might occur. The addition of the
Newberry party made about fifty.

Mr.. Cole L. B1ease and the situa-
ton was discussed. A detachment
of twelve men was sent to the Odd
Fellows hall at about 9 o'clock to
see if the expected meeting of ne-
groes would be held. There was
no light in the building and no one
was found.
Shortly after the prrty returned
to the store, the building, loosely
constructed, two-story frameastruc-
ture, was seen to be ablaze, and it
soon burned to the ground. The
conf1agration lighted up the coun-
try for miles around. The build
ing was the property of the negro
Odd Fellows and was not of any
great value. The first floor was
used for negro school. 1t was sit
uated about quarter of mile
from Mr.. Goodwyn's store and was
near all old negro. church. The
fire occurred some time before II
o'clock. How it started is not
known.
The situation was again discussed.
1t was proposed to visit the negroes
who are supposed to be the ring
leaders and to give them correction,
but this motion was Immediately
opposed by Mr.. Fred H. Dominick,
who was seconded by Mr.. Blease
and the officers of the law, Deputy
Sheriff Duncan johnson and Cou-
stable c. G.. Blease, and the propo-
sal was almost unanimously voted
down, the gentlemen present say
ing emphatically they had come to
protect the white people of the COM
munity and young Brooks, and not
to create disturbance.
1t was feared that trouble might
result later in the night, and it was
decided that the men should sleep
under arms, and sentinels were
posted. A number slept in the
store and the others in the sur
rounding homes.
The representative of The Herald
and News called upon young Brooks
father. Mr.. Brooks said he was
convinced that, had not prompt ac
t1on been taken and assistance re-
ceived, the negroes would have at
tempted hurt to his family, and es-
pecially his son, during the night.
Nothing unusual developed dur
ing the night and next morning
most of the party returned to their
homes, several remaining in case
any further trouble occurred.
The negro Odd Fellows, whose
hall was burned, The Herald and
News man was informed by the
people of Vaughanrille, has exer-
cised a baneful influence over the
negroes of the community since
their organization several years ago.
The names Of Isaac Fortune, ZONES
Pitts, West Bates, Jim Wade and
Ben Watts were given as the ring
leaders. 1t is said the hall has
been used as general assembly
hall for the negroes, where they
met under the mantle of secrecy
and Matched their schemes without
tear OF interruption. When a rep
resentative of The Herald and
News passed by the site of the hall
on his return home Saturday morn
ing, the embcrs were still smould
erlng. Posted around on the trees
were notices, signed by officers of
the lodge, warming all against smok-
ing on the premises.
This is the third race trouble
threatened at Vaughanville in re-
cent years. Several years ago it
