The Aiken Journal and Review
says on Saturday wcek ago a negro
boy, whose name could not be learn

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 a thud and he thought
that something was the matter with
the machinery. When he reached the
place, he found hte hoy lying inesnsi-

thrown heavily to the floor. He was
not dead, and was carried to his home
