Murdered IIIS NNiIe.

'AMBEEG, July J.--A horrible crime
was unearthed 10 the lower part of this
county today, in consequences of which
RAUL TlSon, heretofore respectable
negro, came near being lynchcd by an
indignant cOlOred mob. According 10

which he struck her over the head with
a loaded whip handle, which feled her
To the ground. He was hOrrilied to find
that the lick had been fatal, and to
| cover up his crime, he dragged the body
| of to creek in the swamp, threw her
in, and drove a stake through her cloth
ing and piniOned the body to the bot
tom of the creek, where it remained TN,
I'll found by Il searching party today.
Since the woman has been missed
from her home the suspicious actions
or the husband led many to believe that
there had been foul play, and a search
ing party was organized, in which III.
son was an enthusiastic leader, and by
"A carefully arranged plot managed t.
lead the party to where the body was
hidden. The coroner was sent for and
an investigation begun, which las, ed
until TiSOn broke down and made the
above confession. He stated at first
that he had slapped his wife in the face
because she would not work, and she
fell in the creek and was drowned, and
that not Knowing what to do, he steak
her down under the water. Subse-
quently, he confessed that he hit her
with the loaded whip. Scores of ne
groes had gathered during the inquest,
and for a while it looked as if TiS0n
would be strung up by a mob of his own
race. They were, however, disuaded
from this, and Tjsou was hustled
off to jail, to await trial for wife muir

The Reason WnY,

COLUMBIA, july "A good deal has
been said about the States buying the
stocks that the liquor dealers of the
state had left on hand. Governor Till
man said the State would buy from the
dealers all whskeys they had that
would come up to the L. 5. standard,
buL the trouble Is that so little Of it
comes up to the standard. Not long
since Governor Tillman got letter
from large liquor dealer in Charleston
saying that he wanted to obey the law
and asked the State to buy what stock
he had on hand. When asked what
grades his Whiskeys were he said they
ranged 70, so and 90 proof. These fall
ing 50 far below the standard of course
the State would not buy them.
