SMALL NEGRO BOY
 KILLS PLAYMATE
They Were Playing When Dis- pute Arose and One
 Was Stabbed

Selma, August 29.-(Special.)- )-Dep- uty Constable Skinner this morning brought into the city and placed in the county jail Henry Smith, small negro boy about 12 or 13 years old, who was wanted for the murder of his playmate, Alex Tarver, another ne gro about Il years old. The killing took place on MT. Bill Smiths place near Sardis, about twelve miles rom here, last Tuesday week.
 It seems that these two boys had been raised up togther, but last Tues day week. when Alex Tarver came over to the house of Henry Smith the two became engaged in a quarrel Smiths mother, who was working about in the yard in front of the house, separated them. After the quarrel had been stopped the boys began to play with each other, and for a while every thing went on as usual and the two were seemingly having a good time. After they had been playing for about half an hour they got into another dispute, and before the mother of Smith could interfere the second time her boy had pulled his knife and made slash at the breast of Alex. The blade went into Alex's breast as far as it could go and inflicted danger. ous and painful wound. The wounded boy was picked up and carried to his home, about half mile distant and everything was done to help him that the people in that neighborhood could do. After living a week the wound began to inflame ana the boy died from the effects of 1t Tuesday even ing.
 After the boy had died the members of Henry Smiths family hid him out for while in the hope that he would not be arrested, but Mir. Skinner sue ceeded in locating him yesterday even ing, and this morning lodged him in jail.

paid cash for their purchases. and a

Loan companies report the demand
