THE DEATH or SAMPSON B, MAYS,

IT Is with deep regret that we are called on to
announce the death of our worthy Tax Collector,
Hr. S. B. MAYS. Mr.. MAYS met with an accident
upon the Georgia State Railroad, some week ago,
which resulted in his death after several days OF
extreme suffering One of his legs was entirely
crushed and tho other badly broken below the
knee. We will not undertake here to give the
precise circumstances which caused his death, as
1t is probable the whole affair will be hereafter
investigated in q proper manner Suffice 1t 10
say that collision took place between two trans,
on one of which the deceased was passenger.
A few moments preceding the collision, las we
are informed,l tho warning was given by an Off
Ger Of the Road" Passengers, take care Of your.
selres"-in attempting to do which, the deceased
received the sad injury which terminated in his
death.

two persons came to The house of Mr.. Her.
ring, in Columbia county, on the Washing
ton road, nine miles above Augusta, and
called him 10. the front door, and requested
to be allowed to stay all night. He asked
them in. They told him TO come out, as
they had horse and buggy with them. AS
soon as he got outside the door he was shot
down. Mrs. Herring then barred the door
and prevented The entrance Of the murder
crs. About an hour afterwards they re-
turned and fired through an auger hole in
Tie door and killed her. She died in few
minutes after being shot. They then en-
tered the house and took thcrefrom one
hundred and seventy dollars.
Mr. Herring survived to give the above
particulars of this atrocious affair, ard was
still living Mt the last accounts. He was
shot twice. and has two balls in his body.
There is no prospect Of his recovery from
his wounds. He states that one of the men
was large and powerful mulatto fellow.
The othera white man.
A pack of good track dogs have been
procured and put in pursuit, and we hope to
be enabled to snnounce tho arrest of the
murdcrers.
MIR. and Mrs. Herring were an elderly
couple, aged about 60 years each, and were
living by themselves, there being no other
persona, white or black, living on the pre-
