A report reached Kingstree Thursday
morning that two negroes had been way
laid on the road and shot down in cold
blood about 9 o'clock Wednesday night
The report was soon verified by a messen-
ger coming in for DR.. w. L. Wallace, who
reported that one of the men was still
living. 1t appears that the two negroes
killed are Alfred and Ben Singletary
father and son. They lived in the Cedar
Swamp section, upon the plantation of
Maj. Chandler some ten miles below
Kingstree Alfred has been running
years. His son, Benjamin, has been car
rying the mail from Kennedy's store to
Chandler's for many years. 1t seems that
after having finished their labors for the
day they left Kennedys store Wednes-
day night about 8 o'clock, riding in a
buggy together, to go to their home at
Chambers, as was their custom, and
were going quietly along the road
When they had got about a mile from the
store they We're suddenly fired upon from
ambush. Alfred, being killed outright,
fell out on his face. The horse then took
fright and ran some distance down the
road, when Benjamin fell out and lay
there until he was found in a dying con-
dition. Alfred's body was found where
he was first shot lying cold in blood, his
body being riddled with bullets. DR.. Wal
lace, the attending physician, says there
is no hope for the boys recovery. No
cause can be assigned for the murder,
and as yet no clew has been found,
though suspicion seems to rest on certain
negroes in the community
