On wednesday Of lastweek, at Ninety
Six, negro named Richard Griffin, alias
Dick Rogers, was shot aud killed by Mr..
j. L. Sanders, a brother of Mr.. Richard
Sanders who lived among us for four or
FIVE years after theclose ofthe war. The
two brothers are in business at Ninety
Six. The man Griffin, lately pardoned
out of the Penitentiary, where he had
been lodged for killing another negro,
had had quarrel with Mr.. Sanders in
the latter store. Leaving the store, the
negro procured foot-adz, returned, used
insulting language to Sanders, and rails
ing his weapon as if to strike, dared the
latter out of the store. Hereupon, Mr.
Sanders stepped out and shot Griffin in
the face, killing him instantly. Sanders
made his escape. and so far as we can
learn, has not been arrested.
