I I 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.

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.
