MANYMORTALLYWOUNDED

An Election Judge Shot by a Negro and Then the Trouble Began, In Which Several Negroes Were Shot.

White Men Fired on From Ambush Last Night.

Charleston, Nov. 9.—A special from Greenwood, S. O., says: Intense excitement prevailed here all day because of the shooting of Boaz Ethridge, one of the election judges at Phoenix, and a absequent riot between the whites and lacks at that place, in which T. P. Tol~ts and several negroes were mortally unded. The negroes had a separate x,

in charge of Tolbert, in which those could not vote in the regular boxes deposit certificates that they were allowed to vote for R. R. Tolbert for ngress, which certificates he expected use in his contest for Latimer's seat. Mr. Etheridge attempted to take arge of the box and was shot dead by ne of the negroes who was crowding around it. Immediately the few white men who could procure armsi, or had them, opened fire on the crowd. The whites, several hundred strong, were well armed and determined, and if the leaders in the trouble are caught no power on earth can savo them from lynching.

Everything is quiet at Phoenix with the whites masters of the situation, but the negroes are supposed to be congregating about two miles distant and no one can conjecture what will happen.

Late last evening John R. Tolbert was dangerously wounded and his little nephew, son of E. L. Tolbert, who was in the buggy with him, was instantly killed while on their way home.

While a party of white men 'were returning from Phoenix last night they were fired on from ambush and M. J. Younger, (Jroswell Fleming and a Mr. Miller were badly wounded and ars at Stockwell's, five miles from here.

American reply may perhaps modify the original proposals, but there is no doubt the main demand will be pressed to a successful conclusion. "It is impossible not to feel sympathy with Spain and we trust that, on the financial side, the Americans will show themselves generous toward a fn.llon enemy."

After expressing satisfaction that "Future misunderstanding will bo avoided by the immediate adoption of a selection which was .ultimately inevitable," the Times says: "We trust that America has learned to appreciate the fruit that commercial restitution and imperial expansion do not thrive together. But it must be confessed that our sympathy with the Americans in their new course suffers a great strain by such blunders as the order for the regulation of trade in Porto Rico, that reads as if borrowed from the British iiavigatioil acts which the Americans undSo oppressive."

The editiorial concludes by expressing the opinion that the new policy and tlu promising economic situation will prevent any recurrence" of an acute currency crisis.

MARIA TERESA.

Captain Crownlnshiekl Believes She is Ashore on Cat Island. Washington, Nov. 9.—A message reoeived at the navy department yesterday from Captain Crowninshield, chief of the navigation bureau, who is in New York, called attention to the report that the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa had been seen off Cat Island. The captain expressed his beliof in the accuracy of the report and suggested to the department that the repair ship Vulcan, now at Norfolk, be sent at once to make search for the derelict. The department acted at once upon the suggestion.

Cat island lies about 30 miles southwest of the spot where the Teresa was last seen, and it is said at the department if the vessel did not founder outrighi within a very few hours after having been cut adrift, she almost certainly fetched up on the shoal beach' off Cat island, for the wind and tide set directly on the beach of that island.

If so the location is much more favorable for saving the ship than the position occupied by her off Santiago, where the bottom was covered by rocks and the wreckers worked at great disadvantage.

It is the belief of naval constructors that the Teresa took water aboard almost altogether through the decks, and not through the hull. These decks were rude, temporary constructions and were entirely unsuitable for rough weather. The fact that the reports fail to indicate that the ship sank by the head and that the water ran into the coalbunkers and thence into the firerooms goes to bear out the constructors' story.

It is presumed that the Avrecking company which had the vessel in hand will take immediate steps to recover the ship if possible, in order to secure the large salvage which was almost within its grasp when the ship was cast off.

TOM WOOLFOLK

Innocent cf a Murder For Which He Was Hanged. Macon, Ga., Nov. 9.—Ii. S. Young, a railroad man here, has just found amon some plunder bequeathed to him by the negro Simon Cooper, who was lynched at Maysville, S. C., two years ago, memorandum book containing a detailed account of the famous Woolfolk tragedy near Macon, when nine members weie slain, only 0110 (Tom Wooli'oik) cscap ing. He was the eldest son, and after two court trials was hanged for murder because of circumstantial evidence against him. The South Carolinian, in the memorandum, says ho killed the Woolfolk family, and was especially anxious to kill Tom. In the last line of the memorandum is the sentence: "Tom was sly for me that night, but I'm even with him at last." This is supposed tc refer to Tom's execution.

Many people have always believed Tom guiltless. His lawyer, Johu^Rutherford, during a 10-hour speech in the courthouse, excluimwd: "I swear before Almighty God I believe Tom Woolfolk did not kill those people."

The negro was about here during the year in which tho murder was com mitted. His diary tallies almost perfectly with Tom Woolfolk's account of the murder of that family. He madv his will before ho killed the South Caro lina, family, for which ho was lynched, and in it says he ho knew he was goin« to sooner or later be killed for his crimes, and he wanted Mr. Young, by whose family he had been reared, to have all his possessions.
