KILLS BROTHER.
Shocking Fratricide in Saluda County
Sunday Night-Lawton Lowery
the Slayer.
The State.

The State.
Saluda, May GA most shocking
fratricide was committc last night
in the extreme northwestern section
of this county when Lawton Lowery,
a young white man, shot his BROTH
er, Preston Lowery, to. death in the
home of the latter.
From the meagre information OBJ
tanned this morning, at this distance
from the scene of the awful tragedy,
it appears that Lawton Lowrey, who
lived in the home Of the brother
during the night, and going to his
brothers. room with a shotgun told
him he was going to kill him. The
dead man replicd: "No, 1 reckon
not" but secin" the drunken condi-
tion Of LHwtoln and fearing he would
do something rash. he ran under the
bed frcm him. After remaining under
the bed for q short time he started to
come out. whereupon rne fatal shot
was fired and he was killed almost
instantly.
The affair is deeply dcplored by
the people in that section who know
the two boys. Lawton was the older
and unmarried. Preston Lowrey was
married. They lived in the same home
ahd were farming together. There
seems to have been no cause at all
for the killing and it is attributed TO
the drunkenness Of Lawton, who it is
said was addicted not only to drink
but also to the use Of morphine.
Realizing this morning the cnor-
nifty Of his crime, it is said that the
living brother is now begging that he
also be killed.
The home Of the Lowrcy boys is
the Pan Handle section OF this coun-
ty and close to the Edgefield line.
They are sons Of Mr.. James Lowrey.
The coroner has been sent for and
has gone to hold the inquest.

NEGRO RAPIST SLAIN.
Attempted Criminal Assault Near
Mullins Yesterday-Victim Lit
tie White Girl.

Mullins, May 6.-Betwecn 8 and 10
O'Clock this morning criminal assault
was attempted upon little 12-year-
old Tincey Sawyer, the daughter Of
Mr.. Johlm Sawyer, a highly respect
cd farmer residing in the NIiller's
church section, three miles from this
town. Her screams and the hurried
response of her father, who was near
by, saved her from the brute.
The child was taking a COW to the
pasture, near her fathers home, and
upon reaching the entrance of the
pasture, the negro, Lambhold Carmi-
chael, sprang from a clump Of bushes
and made for the girl, who began to
scream frantically. Her father heard
The distressing cries Of his little
daughter, and ran to her assistance.
The negro, seeing the approach Of
Mr.. Sawyer, made for the nearby
swamp, not however, until the latter
was near enough to recognize him,
who is a we'll known character in this
section Of the county.
The news Of the outrage rapidly
spread and within a short time the
whole meighborhood was upon the
track of the fiend. Following in the
direction of his escape into the woods
from the scene, the posse went in hot
pursuit. He was chased across Buck
swamp. which is Of dense foliage. 1t
is said that one Of the party who
was unarmed, got within few feet
Of the negro in the chase, whcreupon
the negro stopped and drew his piS-
tol, threatening to blow the brair:S of
his pursuer out. After this he again
disappeared in the swamp.
The little girl is sister of Will
liam Sawyer, we'll known contrac-
tor and builder Of this place, there
fore when the news reached Mullins
excitement ran high. Many Of the
townsmen hastened to the scene. Up
on reachlng the neighborhood Of the
attempted crime they met the crowds
returning from the swamp, wearing
satisfied expressions. When question
ed as to the outcome Of the chase
they simply remarked that they were
satisfied and that the negro was
where he could DO not further crime.
Other than this they would not speak
of the affair.
The States correspondent learned
something of the affair from one of
the most prominent citizens Of that
section, who said that from his
knowledge of it he believed that the
negro was literally riddled with bul,
lets and taht his body was left in
Buck swamp. 1t is said that he was
killed as a last resort TO effect his
capture.
Following upon the heels of the at
tempted outrage upon Mrs. Charles
Sellers at Zion on Saturday night
and but few miles removed from
the Sellers home the crime enraged
the people beyond endurance and the
whole neighborhood responded to the
call for posse to track down the
would-be-rapist.
Carmichael was II years old and
born and raised in this section. Those
w1llo have known him for long time
say that he was bad character and
that the crime was premelitated, that
he had prepared to leave The neigh

Further information regarding the
alleged lynching is not obtainable to-
night. However, that the negro met
death is assured.
