SOME INTERESTING HAPPENINGS
IN VARIOUS SECTIONS.
News Items Gathered All Around the
County and Elsewhere.
Row Near GOvan.

Govan, June 15.-As the sew
eral negro preachers had gather
ed within the pulpit Sunday
to proceed with services at Sweet
Branch church, Dan Bradley, came
upon the scene, and gave peremptory
orders to disband. There was q big
congregation. He had drunken deep
from the ever flowing blind tiger,
which has it's source in the branch
nearby, and which name, Sweet
Branch, is applied to the church.
Daniel is a bad negro when he gets
the right sort of blind tiger in him.
He entered the church with a big
stick in hand with effort to revise
the meeting. Things were not going
to suit his turbulent mind, so he
cried out: Get out of here or Ill
kill every one of YOU 1t is said
that he had discretion enough to say
that he would not hurt the children.
At this moment about five negro men
had him covered, but what did that
amount to with the pugilist? He just
raised and gave one 1ounce and they
escaped from contact with him as
if by magic. Finally from repeated
cutting upon his big body, and the
loss of blood from each. attack, he
was subdued.
But the second attack was the
most exciting yet.
The church was emptied. The
nearby fields and branch was filed
with negro women and children,
panic stricken. Sheriff Morris, from
Barnwell. entered upon the scene.
Then the negro boys began to take
off their coats and hang them up in
the church to keep the sheriff from
getting their pistols and little TASKS
of blind tiger. 1t is common thing
for a negro boy to carry pistol here,
and as a rule they carry good ones.
It is said that the man who had the
LIQUOR threw it in the water to save
himself. So for the time being the
creek which name is so appropriate
ly applied to the church failed to
fill it's mission and holy synonym.
It should be noted here that this
church is located just beyond the
line in Barnwell county, but 1t is
regretable and lamentable that most
Of the negro attendants upon this
holy service were from the Bamberg
side, and especially were the blind
tiger distributors and pistol toters'
The sheriff returned with three Bam-
berg negroes.

The Widows Offering.

A merchant who had been travel
ing some months was, on his return,
informed of the death of a valued
friend. A few days later he called
upon the bereaved widow to offer his
expressions of sympathy. During the
visit he remarked:
Il was a good friend of your late
husband. Is there not something OF
his which | could have as memento
Of him?"
She raised to his her velvety brown
eyes, which a few moments before
were moist with tears, and said soft
ly, How would do?"
