Miss Gladys Carroll lost her curls at
the hands of thief. She is the daugh-
ter of the properties Of the National
Hotel, at Macon and was sleeping in
the room with lady visitor. During
the night the thief entered the apart
ment, stole lot of clothing, and to
complete the crime cut off Miss
Gladys hair, which was long and hung
Uemptingly about her pillow.
Consideration and anger were arous-
ed at the discovery nextmorning. The
alarm was given and Officers Small
wood and Nosely took up the case.
They were not long in locating the
clothing at the house of Lula Stewart
on Fourth street.
The woman says the clothing was
carried there by white man, whose
name she cannot or will not give. The
officers are of the opinion that the
work was done by a white man, and
some arrests may be made. The de-
tective force is on the track of the sup
posed hair-cutter. The Stewart wo-
man was given sixty days by the re-
corder for receiving stolen goods.

A COWARDLY CAROLINA CRIME
BULLETS AND TORCH USED TO GET
RID OF NEGRO POSTMASTER.
The Negro and a Baby in Arms Shot Dead
on the Threshold of His Blazing
Home. Wife and Three
Daughters Shot,

OauSuOeF SnOIS
The most revolving crime ever perpe-
trated by white men in South Carolina
was committed at Lake City, Williams
burg county, at C'clock last Thursday,
when Postmaster Baker, a. negro, and
his family were burned Out of their
home, the postmaster and baby in
arms killed, and his wife and three
daughters shot and manned for life.
Baker was appointed postmaster three
months ago.
Lake City is town of five hundred in
habitants, and he negro population in
the vicinity is very large. There was
protest at Bakers appointment, but not
very vigorous.
Three months ago as thu postmaster
was leaving the Office at night, in compa.
with several colored men, he was fired
on from ambush, but it was rot known
hat the would-b assassin was prompted
by other than personal motives.
Since then Baker had moved his fami-
ly into house on the outskirts of the
town, where he also established a post
office.
Last Tuesday night body of men,
who kept concealed behind buildings and
fences in the neighborhood, riddled the
building with shot and rifle bullets.
They shot and n one was hurt, bus it
was supposed to convey warning.
1t was short time before that that
Senators Tillman and McLaurin and
Congressman Norton had asked the post
master general to remove Baker because
of his color, and the request had been
refused.
Baker did not move his family, and
gave no evidence of being frightened &.
He felt confident of protection from
Washington.
At O'Clock Thursday morning torch
was applied to the postofice and Bakers
house. Back, just within the line of the
light, were over 100 white men, armed
with pistols and shot guns. By the
time the fire aroused the sleeping family,
consisting of the postmaster, his wife,
four daughters, son and an infant at
the breast, the crowd began firing into
the building.
A hundred bullet holes were made
through the thin boarding, and many
found marks in the people within.
Baker Vas the first to reach the door,
and he fell dead just within the thrcsh-
hold, being shot in several places.
The mother had the baby within her
arms and had reached the door over her
husbands body when bullet crashed
through its skull and fell to the floor.
She was shot in several places.
Two of the girls had their arms broken
in the shoulder aud will probably lose
them.
Another of the girls is believed to be
fatally wounded.
The boy is shot.
Two of the seven occupants of the
house escaped with slight injuries.
The bodies of Baker and the infant
were cremated IN the building.
All the mail matter was destroyed.
Bitter indignation is expressed every
where.
The govern ent has offered reward
of $500 f,r the arrest OF the members of
the mob.
