KILLED At GRIaT MILL.
A Coiored Boy Got Caught i'm Ma.
chincry Somehow.

The Aiken Journal and Review
says on Saturday week ago n negro
boy, whose name could not be learn
ed. was killed at Mr.. E. II. Toole's
grist mill, near Wagner. The boy
went to the mill with some corn to
be ground into meal, and after it was
ground. he was instructed not to hang
around the machinery. Mr.. Toole
went into another part Of the house,
not thinking further Of the boy. He
soon heard Il thud and he thought
that something was the matter with
the machinery. When he reached the
place, he found hte boy lying inesnsi-
bic on h floor. He had evidently
touched n of the belts and was
thrown heavily to the floor. He was
not dead. and was carried to his home
and care given to him. It was found
that no bones wcre broken, but blood
on the brain was supposed TO have
caused his death, which occurred on
Sunday morning. The boy had severe
commissions from the time he was in
jured to his death.
