AGED CITIZEN
BRUTALLY KILLED.
Negro Arrested and Lodged in Beau
fort Jail on SUSPICION.

Beaufort, Aug. 27.-Mr. George M.
Harvey was murdered Sunday night
on Ladies island. A negro is in the
county jail, charged with the crime.
Mr.. Harvey, well known farmer,
age Y, of the Bluffton section, was
visiting his son on plantation on
Ladies island, four miles from Beau
fort. Last evening he was left alone
in the house from until 7, and upon
returning his son found him lying
dead on the piazza with horrible
gunshot wound in his head. A shot
gun and pistol were missing from the
house.
The gun has not been found, but
this morning the sheriff found the
pistol in a nogro cabin where it had
been positively identified as having
been left by VIM. Bennett, who was
found on a public road soon after.
Neighbors testified they had seen him
near the Harvey farm at the time the
crime was committed and that he
was drunk and in ugly humor. The
negro came from the up-country and
was employed by Mr.. Harvey as a
plow hand up to Wednesday.
The verdict of the corQner's jury
was that deceased came to his death
by gun shot wound, the gun in the
opinion of the jury being fired by
VIM. Bennett, and that VIM. Fergu-
son is material witness, if not ac-
cessory.

HIS JUST REWARD.
Husband Shoots Negro Brute Who
InsuIted His Wife.

Last Saturday morning about sun
rise Mr.. w. L. Marshall, at Florence,
S. c., shot and killed Lewis Gray, a
negro itinerant barber, for the crime
for which negroes are lynched.
Friday afternoon while Mr.. Marshall
was away from his house, the negro
Gray came to his home and made an
indecent proposal to Mrs. Marshall.
Before he could make any attempt to
carry out his purpose he was frighten-
ed away by Mrs. Marshall's mother,
who appeared from another room
when her daughter screamed. The
negro fed.
MIR. Marshall, who was at work in
his field at the time, as soon as he
learned the facts, secured his shotgun
and started on a hunt for the negro.
He hunted the country oyer all night
and about daybreak went into the
store of Mr.. H. B. Mccall to rest.
While in the store Lewis Gray walked
in, not knowing that Marshall was
there. Marshall, without a word, fired
and killed the negro instantly.
After the shooting Mr.. Marshall
voluntarily surrendered to the sheriff,
but was released next day.

Not a New Invention.

1t is generally supposed that the
incubator is a strictly modern and
American invention, but this is far
from the fact. The ancient Egyptians
were on the trick, and thoroughly un-
derstood the advantages of the
"wooden hen" thousands of years
ago. About four hundred of these
artificial hatchers have been discover
ed as the result of recent exhumafions
in old cities of the Nile, which shows
that at one time they were in common
use. These foreruners of our machines
were about nine feet high and were
arranged with galleries for holding
the eggs, were heated from central
oven. We have simply rediscovered
one of the lost arts and proved again
that there is nothing under the sun
or en.-Natchitoches, La, Times.

n Memory Of Mrs. =.
Drafts.

On August 9TH, at Cedar Grove
church, we laid away all, that was
earthly of Mrs. Henry E. Drafts After.
having been. confined to her bed for
about II months she suecumbed to.
the ravages of disease on Friday night,
August 3rd. The funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Stroup, the
Lutheran pastor of Cedar Grove, as
sisted by Rev. Inabinet, the Methodist
pastor of Shiloh church, and Rev.
Groseclose. The funeral discourse
was based on Psalm of her own Sc
lection.
Mrs. Drafts was member of the
Methodist church, the daughter Of
Joel 81. Taylor and wife, Maria. She
was married to III. E. Drafts in 1866
and died at the age of 81. She leaves
to follow her to the eternal world her
husband and four children, Viola G.
Hayes, Ophela L. Jumper, O. O.
Drafts and Hassie B. Drafts.
Thus has the life of Christian wo-
man ended, and it would be well for
those of us who are left behind to fol-
low the example she set.
Her friends and neighbors were
very kind to her and family during
her long illness. They constantly
assisted in nursing her and in cultivat-
ing the crops to which the husband
could not attend because of the need
of his presence at her bed side.
They laid her reverently away in
Cedar Grove cemetery, hauling and
covering the grave with clean, white
sand, indicative of the white city in
which we feel sure her soul now
dwells. For all of these kindnesses
Mr.. Drafts and his children desire
their heartfelt thanks extended to
these friends. A Friend.
