TOL3ERT QUrS PARTY.
—:
Redhot Resolutions Passed by
’ Citizens. J
I . I
Columbus, S. C., Nov. I«.
I'here has been m< re bloodshed in
Greenwood county and along its
borders, ib th-j sister county of
Abbeville, but none of it can be
laid to the door of the white m«n
who wreaked summary vergence
upon blrfcks last wrek.
The two Tolberts, who are still
in the penitentiary, had the
case against them dismissed by
the magistrate today, but are still
here.
A negro woman was shot through
aud through and is suppposed to
be mortally v cuLcled. The woman
was in her own house, which
stands near the point from which
unknown paities fired upon Pri
vate Miller, wounding him so se
riously, on Tuesday last.
The woman, Eliza Gode, was
beside her invalid daughter and a
child when three white men came
along and begae to fire indiscrim-
Giately through the walls of the
house. It is suppos'd that they
thought certain segro-*s they had
been after were in the house. The
woman and others saw the men,
but do not know who they were.
On Saturday last tin people held
a mi.Bß meeting at Phoenix and
adopted a series of resolutions,
which are of particular interest.
Today the citizens of the whole
county are to hold a mass meeting
at the courthouse in Greenwood 1
It has been called by State Sena
tor Wallar. The object, it is sup
posed, is to res’ore order through
out the county. The Phoenix res
olutions read as follows:
Resolved, That we, the ci:
of Phoenix and surrounding cuu.i j
iry, in mass meeting assembled. 1
desire to express our deep regiet at
the loss of life and b;oodshed that
has recurred in this vicinity dur
ing the past few d iys, aud to call
attention to the fact that this sec
tion has always been noted for the
high moral character of its people,
its peaceful, law-abiding disposi
tion, and the friendly relatione
that bavd heretofore existed be
tween the races. • •
Resolved, That the evidence of
negro as well as white eye-witness
es to Tuesday’s riot agrees that the
first hostile attack was made by 1
Thomas Tolbert and certain ne- ,
groes, and that the first shot fired
was the one that killed J. I. Eth
ridge, and was fired by a negro.
We regrst that deluded negroes
have had to suffer the penalty for
misdeeds committed as a result us
the influences of white men, whose
greed and selfishness has led them
to act the part of enemies to both
the white and colored people ot
lour country.
Resolved That we hereby ex
press our firm conviction that the
deplorable troubles through which
we haye just passed are attribut
able solely to the evil influences
exerted by John R. Tolbert, R
Rhett Tolbert, Joseph W. Tolbert.
Thomas P, Tolbert and Robert H
Henderson, and we believe their
further residence in Greenwood
county or its vicinity will tend to
imperil the lives aud property of
both the white aud colored peo
ple, and we earnestly hope that
they will choo'e to remove them
selves and their evil influences
elsewhere.
Resolved. That a committ e of
safety be appeiuud. who shall be
aeked to suggest end put int®oper
ation such measures as wdl Lest
insure peace aud the protection of
life and property, that we desiie
to assure the colored citizens i f
1 this community that we will to
1 the Lest of our nbi ity protect them
I so long as they are in lbw discharge
of theirMu ties and in the *xercis«
{WELL PLEASED CUSTOM
ERS
We have sold hundreds and
hundreds ot the McCall Bazar
Patterns since we have taken the
agency, and upon inquiry of the ;
salesladies in the department,we
find that not one pattern lias
ever been returned as unaatis- |
factory, and with hundreds ol I
sales, not one word of criticism <
has ever been heard against the '
McCall Patterns.
On the contrary many ladies /
{ are delighted with the McCall <[

because the prices a-e only 1(1 <

of tbeir rights as peaceful and or- £
derly citiz-n< and that we con
lernn all assaults if negro sby <<
white persons.
Immediately following action on X
the above resolutions, the follow- $
ing information was read from
Elias Tolbert and accepted as
such: « ><
To the Citizens of Greenwood ?<
County— Heretofore I have acted ?<
as I have from a sense of high
Christian duty, from pure consci
eutious motives, not from a desire ~
for any office or the emoluments
of office. I have tried to do my
duty to my aountry as I knew it,
my church and school. I have
never shirked my duty as I saw it.
I tried to do my duty as a fif'een
jear-cld soldier boy in the Second
South Carolina cavalry, company
I. If there are any old soldiers
present btlongit gto my old com
mand, they can tastily to the fact
that I was always found at the
front. I find that in many things
I made mistakes, that the two
races cannot act together in the
formation of a government and
that the country should have white
supremacy, that the Anglo S. xon
sbou’d predominate, ai.d hereafter
I intend to stand shoulder to slioul- ,
der with the white people to do all
in my power to have a government
that will protect every one alike,
Uut let it be made by the white
i»e< p’e. I solemnly promise to do
all 111 my power and shall hea'rtily ?■
co-operate with them in doing 2
this. -

A NARROW ESCAPE.
•
Thankful words written by
Mrs. Ada E. Hart, Groton S. I).
“Was taken with a bad cold (
which settled on my lungs;
cough set in and finally termi
nated in Consumption. Four
doctors gave me up, saying I
could not live but a short time. .
' 1 gave myself up to my Savior,
I determined if I could* not stay
with my friends on earth, 1
would meet my absent ones
above. My husband was ad’vis- I
ed to get Dr. King’s New Dis-)
covory for Consumption,Coughs
and Colds. I gave it a trial, took
in all eight bottles. It has cured 1
me, and thank uod I am saved
and now a well and healthy
woman.” Trial bottles free at
Curry-Arrington’s. Regular size
50 cents.and +T.OO, guaranteed
or mice refunded.
