Looked for a Race Riot.

There was considerable excitement at
Rhem's, on the line between Georgetown
and Williamsburg counties during seve-
raj days of last week because of threat
ened race war. The Governors office in
Columbia was constantly on the lookout
for trouble. 1t appears that on Satur-
day negro boy rode up to Rhem's store
and hitched his mule to an upright post
supporting a shed over platform. The
animal jerked away and pulled the up
right post down. Louis Rhem, son of
the proprietor, rebuked the boy and the
boy becoming impudent, young Rhem
slapped his face. Shortly afterward,
Toney Scott, tho aged father of the boy,
made his appearance with large stick
in his hand and started toward young
Rhem. Several men in the store inter-
rupted and took the stick away from
Scott. They may have also used him
rather roughly. That night Scott died.
Excitement grew as news of tho matter
spread among the negroes and on Sun
day several hundred of them, men, wo-
men and children, from all the country
around, collected about Scoti's house.
The women melted the men and danger
from violence began to grow. The whites
also collected in considerable force and
the sheriffs of Williamsburg and George
town counties repaired to the scene with
posses. The Governor was kept in close
touch with the situation, and was look
| ing to be called upon at any moment to
order out large force of troops. He
did authorize the sheriff of Georgetown
to call out tho Georgetown company. It
is claimed that the old negro Scott did
not die from violence at the hands of the
men who took the stick away from him
in Rheims store, but that his death was
due to heart failure, brought on by ex-
citement.

Some Giant Cabbages.

The Cordele Daily Post is making
great to-do over an 1S-pound cabbage

a gentleman, then residing in Brooks

weighed together 275 pounds, an average
of 273 pounds. the largest of the lot
weighing 33 pounds. The party who
raised thece cabbages still lives to tell
the tale, but is too modest to give his
name. He wrote the above statement,--
