Capitalists . have 'made another
trifling bid for the swamp lands in
the eastern part of the State and
belonging to the State. ' Twelve and

RACE TROUBLED
Race troubles . are , becoming fre
quent in different parts of the coun
try, not only in the South, where
euoh events are always credited to

in Missouri, which cannot be classed
as a Southern country, and in Illi
nois.' The Keowee Courierj an ex

present .administration. . Whether
this be true or not, it is unfortunate
that these disturbances, occur, as
there is always more or less blood
shed.' Of ' course - the white man
