ton and was so weak that the doctor
said that / should not even use a
broom. / was very nervous and didn't
sleep well. Ny appetite was very
poor and was melancholy and wor-
ried great deal.

DISTURBANCE AT LATT:t

Latta, Aug. 5.--Dr. E. L. E.'ow.: and
his son. Thedford, were injured in a
disturbance here Saturday night,
when the former was struck on the
forehead with a quart bottle Of kero-
sene in the hands Of one Pete Bethea,
and the latter was cut in the should
er and beaten across the shoulders by
Pat Bethea, brother of Pete Bethea.
Dr. Brown runs drug store at this
place, and it seems that about II
o'clock Pete Bethea entered his store
smoking cigarette. He was request
ed to either quit smoking or leave
the store. The negro replied with an
oath that he intended to do neither
and was showed into the entrance by
the doctor. The negro then struck
him in the forehead. The doctors son,
Thedford, on hearing the disturbance,
rushed p his fathers aid getting
therre in time to have the remainder
Of the bottle thrown at him, which cut
through his shirt into his flesh. This,
however, did not stop him and he ad-
vanced towar dthe buggy to which the
negro was making his way. Just as
he got by the buggy ne was struck
several times across the back and
shoulders with a buggy whip in the
hands of the other negro.
A posse tried all night to find the
negroes and succeeded Sunday about
noon. They were then placed in the
Dillon Jail and are awaiting trial.
Considerable feeling was exhibited in
the town until it was known that
neither the doctor nor his son was
seriously injured. Bo:h negroes are
said to have recently returned from
overseas.
