Railway earnings for February were

One morning during the early part

the rear of her premises with her
throat cut from ear to ear and her
head crushed in from cruel blows with
a heavy instrument. The discovery
was made by the murdered woman's
10-year-old girl.
The child hurried down the railroad
track and reported the matter to her
father. News of the tragedy spread
over Colleton county and men armed
to the teeth flashed from all direc-
tions. II was stated that the deed had
been committed by Black. Pryor and

ganized and the swamps secured.
After days Of searching the negroes

chance of firing the first shots into
their bodies as they dangled from
the limbs of trees.

not die until he had told all, and re-
cited the story of the crime. going
through all of the details in a firm,
