ArRocIoUs CRIME IN DARLINGTON
Wanton Murder OF an Aged Citizen by a
Negro Boy.

The Darlington Democrat says: One of the
most cold blUoded and attrocious murders ever
committed in this community, was perpetrated
near this town on Saturday last. Mr. j. LcGrande
Dickson, an old, feeble and highly esteemed
citizen, living on the public road about two miles
from the town, was brntally murdered on the
road about haf-past twelve O'Clock 7. NJ, with
in one hundred and nifty yards OF his home.
The old man had been to the village, made
some purchases and collected SInal amount
OF money. About midday he lett for home
walking. lie WAS found lying OIL the side OF
the public road, about one hundred and fifty
wards from his house; he was carried home and
soon became speechless-he died about O'Clock
the next morning Although able TO speak when
happened TO him. lie had evidently received TWO
severe blows on his head from heavy palnG,
which was found near him, and two blows In the
face inflicted by the list Of his cruel aSsailant Or
these blows he died.
Nv curious coordination OF circumstances the
murderer, while thinking himself safe, was ar
rested and evidences OF his guilt were found
upon his person. He Is now In jail, and evidence
aralnst him accumuates. No doubt nc thought
his victim whom he followed rom the town nio
more money on his person than he found. lie
has cruelty murdered good old man, made or
pbans OF q large and interesting family, ana
widow of q most worthy and eStlGlablc woman,
for an old knife one dollar and eighty-liYe cents,
and little bundle of homespun.
The murderer is 4 colored man--a youth OF bad
character IL Is due to our colored population 10

His trial will come; his conviction is certain; the
pardon of the Governor almost as sure. And then
another murder, another trial, another conviction
and another pardon.

years hence. Elliott, colorcd, DeLarge, colored,

members Of said committee, denied the statement

stated that the bill had been thoroughly discussed
at both meetings, but it was probable that his

had noticed that at one OF the meetings lie
