Two colored men have been arrested and
! lodged in the Berkeley county jail, charged
| with having murdered Lydia Smith, who was
| recently killed near Draytons station. The
| suspects are Joseph Williams and Henry
| Brown, husband and ,son-in-law respectively
| of the deceased woman. Suspicion had been
| pointing to these two men, and when arrested
they both displayed great trepidation, deny
! ing, however, that they were in any way i'm
| pllcated in the bloody deed. Williams had
| been separated from his wife for some time
| and the latter assumed her former name of
| Smith. The Berkeley officers think that they

them in confinement until the court of ses-
sions convenes, when they will be arraigned
for murder. The large ak with which the
deed was committed is still in the custody of
| the coroner of Charleston county The blood
stains are still plainly discerntble upon the
