WHITE MIN killed By NEGRO
THURSTON MCGEE SHOT TO DEATH
BY KARO WILLIAMS.
Trouble Grew Out of a Horse Trade
Threats of hing-Authorities
Act Promptly Prisoner in Jail.

Especial to The County Record).
LAKE CITY, February "a
Thurston o. McGee, a young
white man about 25 years of
age, was killed here to day by
a negro named Karo Williams.
The trouble arose over a horse
trade and the shooting took
place about 2 o'clock p. M, at
the livery stable of the dead
man. Williams shot three times
with a 3s calibre double action
revolver. One ball took effect
in the right breast and one in
the stomach below the heart.
MCGEE lived only about ten
minutes after being shot.
After shooting McGee the ne
gro threw his pistol in the face
of some bystanders and dashed
down the road toward Indian
town. Ese was caught about a
half a mile from town and
brought back. There were
threats of lynching but Inten-
dant Askins had the prisoner
put in the guard house and a
strong armed force posted
around the building. These
threats continued and it was re-
ported that an effort would be
made tonight to take the negro
out and lynch him. At this wri-
ting Is o'clock p. N.Y. it is said
that the officials took Williams
off on train so (the up train) and
everything is now quiet.
THE CORONER INQUEST.
An inquest was held this af-
ternoon by Magistrate H P
Baldwin over the remains Of
Thurston MCGEE, the victim Of
the negro Williams bullet and
the following verdict rendered.:
"Felonious homicide at the
hands of Karo Williams. It
seems from the testimony that
the deed was nothing less than
! cold -blooded murder.
Williams is a stranger here.

CLOSE Of THE SESSION.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AID
JOURNS SINE DIE.
Some of the Work of the Sessiou-The
Williamsburg Delegation-Last
Scenes In the House.

SCeneS ID IQe uVuSes
THE CAPITOL, COLUMBIA, Feb
ruary 2O:-At 1922 tonight, Sat-
urday, the Lieutenant Governor
in the Senate House and Speak
er Smith in the Hall of Repre-
sentatives let fall their gavels
and the General Assembly of
the State of South Carolina was
adjourned sine die. Only a
handful of members were pres
ent at the close. They began
leaving Friday and as early as
Saturday morning the sergeant
alarms of the House had to 60
out and arrest and bring in four
or FIVE members so as to make a
quorum.
The farewell resolutions and
speeches in the House were in
deed touching. The members
were in no humor for merriment,
for they realized that all of them
would never meet together
again. Down the cheeks of many
of these strong men tears flowed
as tears will flow in the presence
of a great sorrow. Speaker
Smiths voice as he delivered
his goodbye from his desk, was
husky with emotion. 1t is really
surprising how strong and ten
der the tie that binds these men
together.
In some respects this Assembly
has been a remarkable one
something like revolutionary
one. 1t broke away from old
moorings; it pulled down some
old traditions; it exhibited an
independence and fearlessness
not often seen in the Legislature.
Whether its actions were wise or
not, the future will show. 1t
was liberal towards our educa-
tional institutions, especially
Clemson and Winthrop colleges,
in each of which there were Gre
ated one hundred and twenty
four scholarships worth 500
each. A commission consisting
of two members of the Senate
and three of the House, was
directed to borrow S45, 900, with
which it is to complete the State
House and repair the same.
A capitation tax of so cts each
was placed on dogs and it is
provided that the proceeds shall
90 to the free schools. This tax
has been before the Assembly
year after year, but none had
the hardihood to enact such a
law until this year. There is
some doubt as to whether or not
the act will stand, but stand or
fall, its passage shows the AS
sembly's temerity.
The taxes on inheritances and
franchises are distinct innova-
tons in this State. These will
reach large properties that have
been escaping their portion OF
the expenses of the government.
All along the poorer people
have been paying more than
their proportion of taxes, and it
seems but a matter of simple just
ice that the wealthy shonld no
longer evade their share of the
burden. If the next Assembly
will provide the means of get
ting all property on the tax
books at it's value, our tax laws
will begin to be in something
like good shape. Our present
system of returns and equaliza-
tion was referred to on the floor
of the House as "a burden on
honesty and a premium on per-
jury" Is this very far from the
truth?
