IN the fact that meat arriving at the
isthmus well preserved. was not met
at the dock, as was supposed, by re.

the result that unless served with a

9uzzaYds Lead to Discovery Of
Negroes Body.

One of the most horrible and revolt
ing crimes ever committed in the
annals of crime in South Carolina,
was perpetrated in the county OF
Barnwen last Wednesday, when a
negro, by the name Of Stokes, was
killed by man giving his name as
DR.. Jeems and claiming to be an In
dian ssdoctor." 1t seems from what
can be gathered that the man was in
Allendale, accompanied by negro
woman, whom the ssdoctor" claimed
was his wife. They went to the home
Of Stokes and appealed to him to take
them in his wagon to Barnwell, to
which Stokes agreed.
The three left for Barnwen, but
when Stokes did not return to Allen
dale his people became suspicious OF
foul play, and hunting party was
organized. They traced the wagon
with the three occupants to within
about three miles of Barnwell, when
all trace was lost. They were told
that the wagon was seen to turn off
there in the direction of swamp and
return with but two of the party. the
Indian doctor and the woman.
Stokes was missing.
For week negroes and whites
searched for the negro, some expect
ing to ind him possibly alive. while
others searched for his body. On
Thursday the attention Of some parties
was attracted to a large number Of
buzzards lowering over the swamp,
near where Stokes was last seen,
some distance from the road. Upon
investigation badly decomposed
body was found, afterwards identified
as that of Stokes, the buzzards having
eaten all the flesh off the bones.
The doctor" his wifee and the
mule and wagon have not been found,
but diligent search is being made for
their whereabouts.
The negro, Stokes, was quiet. in
dustrious and inoffensive, and had the
respect of the white people of that
section.

Laying Scheme Against Teddy

Washington, April At was said
on authority at the white house today
that there is ample evidence at hand
for the claim the president holds that
there is movement on foot to defeat
his policies in the next congress and
in the national convention. 1t is de-
clared that the "Hearst-Harriman-
Rockefeller combination has already
a fund of 5000, 900 with which to
carry on its campaign in opposition
to the president. 1t was further au-
thoritatively said:
"They are gathering up the loose
ends, but the movement will fatten
out. It is apparent in Ohio and Penn
sylvania; in fact it extends across
the entire continent. The scheme was
thoroughly divulged at arecent dinner
and reached the white house through
a friend of the presidents. The
scheme of the people behind the move
ment is to buy newspapers, public
men and others who may assist the
opponents of the president in their
work.
