On the Bowley-Jones political feud in South Carolina...

Item # 698618 ·
RICHMOND DAILY WHIG, Virginia, Aug. 21, 1874  Page 2 has a report concerning the Bowley-Jones feud within the Republican party of South Carolina. Both are African-Americans. Much can be found about them on Wikipedia. James Bowley had escaped slavery in Maryland with the help of Harriet Tubman.
"The Negro Quarrel At Georgetown, South Carolina" begins: "The disturbances at Georgetown are thus far confined to the Radical negroes, and no white man of any shade of politics is mixed up in them. Jones and Bowley, who lead the opposing forces, are both of northern birth--negro carpet-baggers. Jones is the champion of the country negroes; Bowley of those living in Georgetown..." with much more.
Four pages, very nice condition.
