that his long, hard campaign in be-

Negro Severely Beaten.

A negro farmer named Willie Gar
vim was severely slashed and beaten
with a hoe on Monday morning at his
place in the Clear Pond section by
another negro named Peter Reddish.
The difficulty arose over the plow-
ing of some cotton.
It seems that the Reddish negro
was farming on Garvin's land under
a contract with Garvin, and that
some time ago he told Garvin that
the cotton on the land was laid By.
However, Garvin, after seeing the
cotton, decided that 1t should be
plowed again, and told Reddish to
do so. But he refused to plow it any
more, and said that he was through
with it until picking time. Where
upon, Garvin, after insisting on sew
eral different occasions that he plow
it, and realizing that it was useless
to tell him about it again, took his
plow and began plowing the cotton
himself.
When Reddish came upon the
scene he asked Garvin what he was
doing, and after some words between
them and being told that he was
blowing the cotton, he (Reddish)
walked off, and Garvin continued
plowing, supposing the trouble to be
ended. But as he neared the end of
the row which hewas plowing Reddish
emerged from a corn field and began
cursing him and told him that he
would not allow any man to be plow-
ing his cotton. He then attacked
Garvin with the hoe, cutting fear
full cash in the top of his head and
another on the arm. He next turned
on him with the handle Of the hoe
and beat him with that until it broke.
Garvin had nothing to protect him
self with, and consequently could Of
fer little resistance.
His wounds were dressed and
stitched by DR.. H. F. Hoover. They
are very serious, but will probably
not prove fatal. Garvin's brother had
= warrant sworn out for Reddish
and he was arrested by Deputy Sher-
iff Brabham in Bamberg Tuesday
morning and lodged in jail here
charged with assault and battery with
intent to kill. He was uninjured.

The Hon. D. B. Peurifoy, promi-

both combatants appeared as if they
had just emerged from under a

The spectators seem to think that

would have prevailed and that John
son would have gone of well paid
