rua Negroe. Killed.

The news. of a double negro killing which occurred at Bentcn. in Lowndes County, reached here today One or the negroes killed another and the sec- ond was killed by white man who was trying to arrest the murderer.
 This morning Lawrence Patterson. a negro. went to the barber shop of Tom Jones. Patterson went to the back door of the shop and called to the pro- prietor to come there. When Jones reached the door, Patterson pulled a pistol and fired at Jones four times.
 All four of the shots took effect in his body near the heart and he died in- stantly After the shooting. Patterson started down the public road in his eff fort to escape arrest. At the time of the shooting in Benton, Walter Jones' a well-known young farmer of Lowndes County. was in Benton.
 Learning of the direction in which Patterson had gone, Jones noun led his horse ana started in pursuit of the ne- gro murderer, The negro kept to the road and soon Jones came in sight of him. As his horse approached near the negro. he fired his pistol several times over his head so as to frighten and make him stop.
 The shots did not make the negro cease his flight, and Jones urged his horse forward. When he came close to Patterson, the negro turned around. and, pulling his pistol, shot at him. The shot did not touch the pursuer, who then took aim with his pistol and shot at the, negro, who was again running down the road. Jones's shot took effect and Patterson fell over In the road dead.
 After this, Jones returned to Benton and reported the death of Patterson to the authorities. Patterson was known as a mean negro In that locality and bore a bad reputation, while, on the other hand, the negro Tom Jones, whom he killed, is said to have been a very peaceabls and quiet negro.
