SHOT DOWN BY A BOY.
A 1e-YEAR-OLD NEGRO MURDERS,
HIS COMPANION.

Speer & Cubbedge's Brick Yard Near
Guyton the Scene of Brutal Crime
Sharper Lane Kills Louis Hard
wick-An Old Time Pepper Box"
Revolver the Cause of the Murder.
The particulars of a most brutul murder
at Speer g. Cubbedge'5 brick yard, two
miles from GuYton, on the Louisville road,
have been received. 1t appears that on
Friday night last Sharper Lane, a cclored
youth Of IS years, was prowling around
the brick yard, shooting an old-time re-
volver, commonly known as pepper-box,
when Louis Hardwick (colored), an en-
ploye of the yard, went to him and asked
him to stop shooting. Lane got angry at
what he thought an unwarrantable inter
ference and turning on Hardwick, fired.
The ball from the pistol went through
Hardwick's brain, killing him instantly.
The negroes employed at the yard were
so startled at the audaciOus crime that they
allowed the youthful criminal to deliberate
ly walk off, and he made his escape. L. w.
RAIN, Esq, Coroner Of Efingham county
impaneled jury and held an inquest, the
verdict being willful murder.
Noticing has been heard of Lane since he
committed the crime, but the impression is
that he is hiding near Guyton, whore his
mother lives.

GEN. q. P. HARRISON DEAD.
He Dies Suddenly From Heart Disease
at His Farm Near the City.

Gen. George P. Harrison, ST., died at his
farm, near Savannah. at l O'Clock yester-
day afternoon. For several days he had
complained of feeling unwell, but accom-
modating and obliging to the last, he went
to Monteth yesterday morning to look at
some land at the request of a friend. He
returned to his home in the country about
noon. While sitting on the piazza he called
to one Of the family servants for assistance,
having been suddenly seized with great
pain IN the region of the heart. Before he
could be carried to his room he died. His
remains were brought to his town residence
last night
Gen. Harrison was born in bingham
county in October, 1913. He
leaves widow and three
married daughters and one son, Gen.
George P. Harrison of Opelika, Ala. Gen.
harrlson's life was an eYentful and busy
one. Early in his career he took consider
able interest in military and political
affairs, and while quite young man he
was elected colonel of militia and Repre-
sentative from his home county TO the
State Legislature, where he was brought
into personal contact with the oratorical
giants of those days, Toombs, Cobb and
stephens, and many were his interesting
"reminiscences of the men of those times.
Soon after the war began he was appointed
Drlgadler general Of State troops by his
lifelong friend, Gov. Joseph E Brown.
During Gen. Sherman's march to tine sea
Gen. Harrison's palatial home and large es-
tates we're pillaged and the general himself
was taken prisoner by Gen. Howard, of
Sherman's staff. He was imprisoned at
Hilton Head and subsequently, he was trans
ferred to Fortress Monroe and Point Look
out After his release he refused tc
take the oath of allegiance to tho Federal
government, and died without having these
disabilities removed. He was Representa-
tive in the State Legislature from Chatham
county in 1867. He was at one time Judge
of the Inferior Court, and served as Clerk
OF the City Court during the years 1855
When the yellow fever was declared cpl
demic he sent his family away, but refused
to leave town himself, and as consequence
caught the fever. For a numberof years
past he has been chairman of the
Board of Road Commissioners of Chatham
county. He was also at the time of his
death Superintendent Of the New Houston
street Methodist Sunday school
There were many sides to Gen. Harrison's
character that endeered him to all who
were brought into immediate contact with
him. He was earnest in purpose, courteous
in demeanor, and had a high sense of per-
sonal honor. His manly figure will be
missed. He went out of life leaving only
mourning friends behind him and a record
of manly courage, of honesty and Of firm
belief in the life beyond life"
His son, Gen. George P. Harrison, of
Opelika, was telegraphed for last night and
is expected here today. The funeral will
take place tomorrow.
