"The Carolina Spartan" Issue: July 7, 1880 SERIOUS ACCIDENT-Yesterday morning the Misses Lizzie and Carie McMAHAN and Miss Lidi LONG, accompanied by Ed. McCONNEL and Arthur LONG, started in a one horse spring wagon for Chick Springs. When nearing the latter place, the braching of the harness broke and the horse becoming frightened started to run. In endeavoring to check him, he was drawn to the side of the road and the sudden turn of the wagon threw Miss Lizzie McMAHAN was quite badly bruised and jarred by the fall and McCONNEL had a large gash cut in his head and his face badly bruised. The horse broke loose from the wagon, thus, doubtless saving the other occupants from injury. Dr. WESTMORELAND at Greers was sent for and proceeded at once to the Springs. Last night it was stated that the wounded were getting along well and the Doctor reported their injuries not serious. Mr. Moses WAKEFIELD, living near Reidville, is now about 76 years old. He is able now to plow ten hours a day and not only able, but willing. He makes a full haul in the field. It is said the female street walkers are often to be seen at night in this place. We would suggest that it would be well to pass an ordinance to arrest all women caught on the streets alone after a stated hour at night. A meeting will be held in the Court House tonight (Wednesday) for the purpose of re-organizing the Spartan Rifles. All interested citizens and old members of the Morgan and Spartan Rifles are invited to attend. With the co-operation of the citizens and Capt. BACON, the Spartan Rifles will once more be Spartanburg's pride and the ladies pet. Remember the hour and come out and give the boys a Hancock "send off", for they will repay you for your trouble at Cowpens, King's Mountain and wherever they may be needed. Gaffney: Henry SARRATT, who was wounded by a knife-blade penetrating the skull last spring, is in a pitiable condition. He is partly paralyzed unable to talk and his mind is much enfeebled. Cornelius COLE, a colored person, not having the fear of license laws revenue officers before his eyes, concluded to contribute to the campaign by the sale of whiskey every day in the week. He was overtaken Monday and turned over to the tender mercies of the revenue officers, and when they get through with him, our civil court will dispose of his case. An anonymous communication has been received from Greer's in regard to the want and destitution of Mrs. BURTON whose house was burned. She lost everything. Any help would be timely and thankfully received. There are twenty men living within three miles of the ashes of her house that could supply her with clothing and rebuild her house and not miss it. Will they do it? Issue: July 14, 1880 Last Thursday several Negroes arrested one GOODWINE, an ex-convict, in the field of Mr. VAUGHN near Glendale, and said their intention was to lynch him. GOODWINE had been very cruel to his wife, and he was indicted for assaulting her. The case had been thrown out of court, and the relatives of the woman concluded to take the law in their own hands. Mr. VAUGHN saw them take the Negro from the field, but nothing is known as to the result. It is reported that he escaped unhurt.
