One of the most brutal and revolt |
ing occurrences that it has ever be-
come our duty to chronicle, occur
red a few days ago in the western
corner of Camden county, about
ten miles below Duroc. 1t is one
of those narrowing, revolving affairs
that sends a thrill through the
blood of law-abiding men and wo-
men, and cries aloud to heaven for
vengeance both speedy and effect
ual.
In the locality above named lived
an inhuman brute named Adkins.
He is a Widower with three children,
the eldest of whom was a daughter
aged about IL years. These chill
dren have long been subject to all
manner of cruelty, and to such an
extent had the eldest daughter sui
fered that she ran away from home
to neighbors on several occasions to
shield herself from the stripes in
flicted by her infuriated father.
But her attempts to evade his pun
ishment only added fuel to tht
fame ofanger, and at each repetition
he seemed to grow nearer and near
er the personificatiOn of monster
Some two weeks ago Adkins gavC
his daughter an uumerciiul beating
for some trivial ofense, when sh'
sought refuge again among he
! friends. He went in search an
brought her home. Two or thre
neighbors seeing him return, an
knowing his brutality, went to hi
: house and attempted by persuasion
to dissuade him from any punish

This seemingly interierenc

8 demeanor he drove them away, d
II claring with curses that he won

d pleasure, but kill them if SO il

IS rection were deemed useless, al
d. the neighbors retired to an adjacel
le copse of timber to watch his NOV
t. ments, satisfied that only a terrib
rs inflction Of punishment would a
e. pcase his anger. Adkins lost
il time to carry out his threats. I
Of proceeded to lash his Oldest dang
