There came near being serious
race riot at Rhens, in Williamsburg
county, caused from the killing OF a
negro BY g white man last Saturday
night. RHEIMS is cross roads near the
line of Williamsburg and Georgetown

blacks, and sparsely settled, by whites.
When it was discovered the negroes
were organizing to avenge the death OF
one of their race, the matter was re-
ported to the sheriffs of Williamsburg
and Georgetown counties, and they got
into communication with the Governor
and by this prompt action prevented
what bid fair to a serious riot.
A few days ago a young, well-dresSed
white man, apparently % years OF age,
Lying in Clarendon, was in Manning,
and he informed the writer that he was
married and had one child, that neither
his wife or himself could read Or write.
He was raised within short distance
from a school house and church, and
his wife was reared in the same neigh
borhooo. that approaching the value
OF knowing how to read and write, he
saws that he and his wife are deter
mined to have their child educated as
soon as it is old enough to begin. It. Is

woman in this county under the age OF
Is wears who cannot read and write.
We hope there are not many such.
