BUT THERE SEEMS mo HOPE
FOR OLD MAN SHOT BY
HIS SON.
II He Dies the Son May BE Dealt
With summariIy Unless Precau.
tions Are Used.

The old negro, Henry Harris. who
was shot by his son, James Harris,
few days ago, and was found lying
beside the railroad tracks by two ne
gro women last Wednesday after
noon, is still in a critical condition, and
it is not believed that he can live.
The old man lay out in the woods for
q day or two without attention and
without food, bleeding profusely mean
while. With the most painful effort,
he crawled to the railroad tracks
where he could be found and picked
up by someone passing along the
tracks, and the exertion of crawling
through the woods wasted what little
strength he had The crime finds few
parallels in the annals of criminology
in this state, and has caused wide
spread comment. Fears are entertain
ed that if the old man dies the son
will be dealt with summarily by an
outraged community unless precau
t;onary measures are taken.

At the breakfast hour the demand for
