Serious ARRAY in Anderson.

ANDERSON, November 4,-The
little town of Iva in the lower section
of Anderson county was the scene of
a fracas Saturday night, the result
of which is that Wayn1an Zeigler, a
young white man, is dying, and J. R..
Martin and Wallace Whitworth, two
white men, are in the Anderson Jail
to await the result of Zeigler's
wounds.
This correspondent called at the
jail to-day, and from Martin and
Whitworth learned that five white
men of Iva were drinking together
Saturday night, and that they fell
out with each other and began fight
ing. Some of the men evidently used
razors, as Martins arm is badly
lacerated; and Whitworth also re-
ceived some gashes. Zeigler was
shot three or four times, one bullet
piercing his stomach.

A Fine Record.

The proceedings Of the State Bank
ers' convention, held last summer,
have been issued in book form, the
volume being handsomely printed and
bound in cloth. In the book is a roll
of honor of the banks in the State.
Out of about 25O banks, only sixty
one are entitled to a place on this
roll of honor. The Bamberg Bank
ing Company, of this city, is on the
roll and stands thirty-tirst out OF
sixty-one, which is a record to be
proud of. This institution has al
ways been very successful, and at
the present time the surplus and un-
divided profits are nearly equal to
the capital stock. Good dividends
have been paid each year to the
stockholders, and only a few years
ago a large part of the surplus was
paid out.

Negroes Attempt rlurder and Assault.

PROSPERITY, Nov. News has
been received here that a few nights
ago John BickleH who runs a small
country store about IL miles from
here, near Piney Woods church, was
painfully wounded by some one in the
dark. Buckley had been called out to
his store to sell two negroes some to-
bacco. After closing the store he
heard a noise in his lot and started
that way. Some one fired on him
from behind. hitting him in the
shoulders. He at once made for his
house and upon entering found his
wife graphing with a negro man.
He had her by the throat so that she
could make no outcry. Upon Bick-
ley's appearance he ran.
Buckley is painfully hurt but not
seriously. The negroes are known
and every effort is being made to ap-
prehend them.

Defeated the Robber.

J.L. Hood, a white man employed
by the Southern railway on con-
struction work between Gaffney and
Blacksburg, was held up Tuesday
night on his way to, Gafney from
Blacksburg by a negro named Wesley
Wilkins, also an employee of the
Southern railway. According to the
account given here, Hood was held
up at the point of a gun by the ne
gro while he was walking through a
deep and dark cut. He proved him.
self an equal to the highwayman and
his gun. The two men fought for a
solid hour, the negro trying to wrench
his gun arm free and pour in the hot
lead, and Hood trying to beat him up
as much as possible while he held the
gun out of reach. The two men beat
each other so badly that they were
completely exhausted from the loss
of blood. Finally Mr.. Hood knock
ed the negro down, or rather shook
him off, and left him lying on the
ground. He struggled and got a
little distance from the place, but
was so weak that he had to lay down
bv the way. While he was resting
the negro came on him again, he too,
having recuperated sufficiently to
peregrinate on a small scale. Mr..
Hood gave his guest a warm wei
come, and for a second timethey went
at it tooth and claw, fighting most
desperately. Finally, they both sank
down from mere exhaustion, and
were found lying side by side when
discovered a little later in the night.
The negro Wilkins is. under arrest
and in Jail at Gaffney. He did not
succeed in robbing his man.-Spar-

County and Elsewhere.
Ehri1ardt Etchings.

EHRHARDT, Nov. Al witnessed a
marriage ON Mr.. D. C. Copeland S
place near Mr.. G. Frank Copeland's S
residence yesterday afternoon. The
contracting parties were Mr.. Bre-
land and Miss Kinard. The oficiat-
ing clergyman was Rev. Counts:
The marriage was to have come off
at 3 o'clock, but it took them until
near S o'clock to get ready. When
the groom and bride came out the
groom was on the left of the bride.
This had to be changed. After this
the Rev. Counts said he wanted to
tell them a little anecdote before
proceeding with the ceremony. He
told the groom that over in Africa
the groom was given a club, and he
hit the woman three times with same
over the head. If she lived she was
to take the same club and hit the
man over the head three times, and
if he lived they were man end wife;
He said the difference in Africa and
this country was, there they Go their
fighting before marriage, and here
they do their fighting after mar
riage. He also told the groom that
there was habit among the colored
folks that the husband goes to the
store and buys two pairs Of stock
ings or two pieces of calico, or two
pieces of bacon, having them done
up in separate packages, bringing
one to his WIFE. and taking the other
to another woman. He told the
groom that he did not want him to
treat this woman so, but bring all to
her. Then the Rev. Mr.. Counts
went on with the ceremony and mar
ried the couple. making them happy.
A big supper was served to the
guests present, They retired in good
order, without any quarrel or fight.
Jack Frost has put the farmers in
this section to digging potatoes and
stripping sugar cane. That means
sweet times in the near future.
Gala week among the white folks
is being discussed, and the show at

TWO KILLINGS NEAR OLAR
WHITE MAN AND NEGRO SHOT TO
DEATH LAST SATURDAY.
Charlie rlofris Kills His Cousin, Levy
Morris r1cMillan
Shoots VIM. Holman.

A most deplorable tragedy occur
red in the Olar section of this county
last Saturday night, in which Levy
Morris was shot and instantly killed
by his cousin, Charlie Morris. Both
are young white men, married, and
have families.
Magistrate w. B. Chitty, Of Olar,
held an inquest over the dead body,
and from the testimony taken at the
hearing it developed that both the
men were drinking but that Charlie
Morris was the drunken of the two.
They were at Levy Morris's house
and got into some dispute over a
trivial matter, just as drunk men
will, and got into a fsticuff. After
some man present had attempted to
separate them, they started out the
door, the dead man alittle in advance,
and as they went out Charlie drew a
pistol and shot Levy in the back, the
ball taking effect in the left side and
passing through the stomach. Only
one shot was fired the weapon being
a 80 calibre pistol, and the bullet
caused death almost instantly.
Young Morris was arrested and
brought to jail Sunday, W here he now
is, awaiting trial. Whether the case
will be tried next week or not, we
are not Informed, nor do we know
whether he has employed counsel.
It is said the sentiment in the Olar
community, even among his relatives,
is strong against him.
The two men were good friends,
and the killing seems to have been
the result of a drunken row.
Another killing occurred in the
same section some time Saturday, on
the plantation of Mr.. MN. Rice,
but this seems to have been the re-
suit of an accidental discharge of
shot gun. Some negroes were con-
gregated together, chewing sugar
cane. and one had a gun leaning up
against the house. AS the owner Of
the weapon turned around he knock
ed the gun down and it was discharg.
ed, instantly killing negro named
William Holman.
The negro who is under arrest is
named Mansum Mcmillan. Magis-
trate w. B. Chitty held the inquest
over the body of Holman, and the
testimony taken seems to make it
clearly an accident. Holman was
cook and house boy for Mr.. Rice,
being about eighteen years old. He
was a son of Dublin Holman, a ne
gro who formerly lived in town.
Mcmillan is in Jail, being brought
here Sunday.
