Negro Riot. —A correspondent of
the Augusta Chronicle furnishes that pa
per with an account of a negro riot which
occurred on Wednesday, at Rock Hill,
S. C. A picnic party, comprising some
seven hundred negroes, arrived in the
village in the morning by the Charlotte
train. Many of the negroes rushed to
the bar-rooms, and, after becoming intox
icated, got into a difficulty with the
town police. The row was quelled and
the obstreperous negroes, after a fierce
resistance, were lodged in the guard
house. In the afternoon as the negroes
were returning from the picnic grounds,
a collision occured between two negroes,
one a desperate character of the village.
The police interfered, and were conduct
ing the rioters to the guard house, when
they were assailed by rocks from the
mob, and soon pistol firing commenced
in the street. This brought out of their
stores more of the merchants and sales
men, who appeared with shot guns or
whatever weapons was most convenient.
At this moment the town seemed to be
threatened with a dangerous mob. With
in the space of two minutes about thirty
shots were fired and hundreds of rock*s
hurled. In the melee some four negroes
were shot—none seriously—aud several
bruised by missiles. No whites were
shot, but several were severely bruised.
Order finally restored, and the* picnicers
left on their train.
NEW ADVERTE3ESViEN
DAILY AND WEEKLY FOR 1875.
The approach of the Presidential election
gives unusual importance to the events and
developments of 1875. We shall endeavor to
describe them fully, faithfully and fearlessly.
THE Yv EEKLY SUN has attained a cir
culation of over eighty thousand copies. Its
readers are found in every State and Territory
and its quality is well known to the public.
We shall not only endeavor to keep it fully up
to the old standard, but to improve and add
to its variety and power.
THE WEEKLY SUN will continue to be
a thorough newspaper. AH the news of the
day will be found in it, condensed when un
important, at full length when of moment,
and always, we trust, created in a clear, in
teresting and obstructive manner.
It is our aim to make the WEEKLY SUN
the best family newspaper in the world. It
will be full of entertaining and appropriate
reading of every sort, but will print nothing
to offend the most scrupulous and delicate
taste. It will always contain the interesting
stories and romances of the day, carefully se
lected and legibly printed.
The Agricultural Department is a promi
nent feature in the WEEKLY SUN, and its
articles will always be found fresh and useful
to tiie farmer.
The number of men independent in politics
is increasing, and the WEEKLY SUN is their
paper especially. It belongs to no party, and
obeys no dictation, contending for principle,
and for the election of the best men. It ex
poses the corruption that disgraces the coun
try and threatens the overthrow of republican
institutions. It has no fear of knaves, and
seeks no favors from their supporters.
The markets of every kind and the fashions
are regularly reported.
The price of the WEEKLY SUN is one
dollar a year for a sheet of eight pages, and
fifty-six columns. As this barely pay’s the
expenses of paper and printing, we are not
able to make any discount or allow any pre
mium to friends who may make speeial effbrls
to extend its circulation. * Under the new law,
which requires payment of postage in advance’
one dollar a year, with twenty cents the cost
of prepaid postage added, is the rate of sub
scription. It is not necessary to get up a club
in order to have the WEEKLY SUN at this
rate. Any one who sends one dollar aud
twenty cents will get the paper, postpaid for
a year.
We have no traveling agents.
