Negro Girl Killed at Johnston on
Tuesday and White Man Fri.
Giav Night.

"A. L. Coles, colored, who was
tried at1the last term of court for
the murder of Goode Gomillion,
resulting in a mistrial, was COM
mitted to jail on Wednesday last
for killing a ten-year old negro
girl in the town of Johnston. The
killing it seems was the result Of
a family quarrel. At the coroner's
inquest a negro boy testified that
he saw Coles, or a person he be-
.lieved to be him, shoot the child
in the head.
On Friday night L. Y. Dorm, q
young white man about Is years
Of age who resided near Eulala,
in Saluda county, was shot and
killed by negro by the name of
Charles Gomillion, who was COM
nitted to jail on Saturday.
Young Dorm arrived at John
ston on the train Friday evening
and, being under the Influence of
liquor, started row with negroes
at the depot. Later he went to the
house of a negro named Gornil-
lion and ratified the window,
making no reply when Gomillion
called to know who it was.
When Gomillion opened the
window he says be saw the man
crouched on the ground and,
thinking it was some one after
him, he fred at the man with a
gun. Gomillion then walked up
town, found the marshal and re-
ported that he had shot man at
his house, and did not know
whether the man was dead or not.
Investigation developed the fact
that Dorm had been shot but was
not dead. He was taken to the
town lookup where he died an
hour later.
Gomillion's aunt and uncle
have been killed recently and he
says when he opened the window
and saw a man crouching on the
ground he thought it was someone
after him. With this belief he
took down his gun and fred.
So far as Tho Advertiser has
been able to learn, public senti-
ment is in favor of Gomillion.

Whenever the Mormon mis-

Although they deny the fact that

president of the Mormon church,
has recently been convicted and
6ned for practicing polygamy.

Paid High for Experience.

The almost unprecedented pros
perity that has been visited upon
the south for several years has
caused many individuals to be-
come almost criminally extrava-
CANT and many banks and mer-
chants to become entirely too lax
IN their methods. Some have had
to pay well for their experiences
of the present year, but will profit
by them for some time to come.
According to the Saluda cor
respondent to the News and Cou-
rier. q white man of that county
recently left for parts unknown,
after having become involved, it
is alleged, in several banking
transactions of a shady nature
during the past year. 1t is report
ed that one Of the banks at Bates
burg will lose some $500, one at
Ninety Six almost as much, while
another at Newberry Will be q
loser for something like s200.'
Banks and merchants, especial
fsly TIE latter, have in some
sessss been entirely too careless
aDd reckless in their advances
J Several instances have come with
I'm the writer's observation 10
which colored men have become
involved during the present year
TO the amount Of three or four
hundred dollars, whsn, in point t
Of fact, they owned only a few
dollars worth ofproperty. Such
methods will, Of course, prove
!: disastrous TO the firms or persona
making such advances and will
Sbe excee edingly demoraliziDg to
labor.
The adverse conditions that.
prevail at present may prove.

The Importance Of providing
speedy punishment for persons
who are guilty of atrocious crimes
is realized as never before. In Tex
as last week, a man was tried and
legally executed within three
days after he committed a murder.
An occasional speedy trial, fol-
lowed by a speedy execution, in
each county in the state would
have a very marked effect in de-
screasing capital crimes.
