KILLED FOR 1.-TWO BITS"
Why Cannon Twiggs Met His Death
in Aiken.

Aiken, September PA debt Of
25 cents is said to have been the
cause of the killing of Cannon
Twiggs Saturday evening late at a
negro church, about four miles from
Windsor, by Cicero Holland, both OF
the parties being negroes.
Children's day exercises were be-
ing held at the church at the time.
Coroner Johnson held the inquest
Sunday and Holland came to Aiken
Sunday afternoon and surrendered
to Sheriff Raborn and is now In the
Aiken Jail.
The inquest evidence was to the
effect that a negro woman named
Mary Holley owed Twiggs rs cents
and Holland also owed him a quar-
ter. Twiggs asked the woman for
his quarter, and some negro men
stepped up and paid the debt for her:
She then asked Twiggs why he did
not ask Holland for the quarter he
owed him, and he did then ask him.
Holland told him to go away, but
Twiggs persisted in asking for the
payment of the quarter, and on the
second request for the money Hol-
land pushed him away with his hand
and fired at him with his pistol. The
ball struck him and Twiggs' brothers
put him in a buggy to go to doctor
at Williston, but he died on the way,
and they then carried him to his
fathers home on the John Wise
place, near Windsor, where the In
quest was held.
This Is the 18th killing to occur
in this county since last January,
and Holland is the tenth man to be
tried at this term of court for MUIR
der, and the 18th in jail charged
with a capital offense.

verdict Of not guilty against Jas. 5.

at all. The verdict is temporary
triumph for the ''grafters, but there
are other cases against Farnum as

or Floyd.
Sunday morning about o'clock
Officer w. T. Cudd found an infant

floor. The little fellow was crying

collected that he had seen the BABY

with a rather neat looking and polite
man shortly before AZ left for Col,
umbia. He had found the man anu
woman when he came on duty at
midnight in the toilet room together
and he told them that they would
have to get out When AZ came In
at 12:42 a. m. the man and woman
boarded that train. The baby was
found sometime after the train left.
The little fellow was dressed very
nicely. The officer put it IN the
arms of an oldtime Southern black
nanny who happened to be at the
depot at the time and then busled
himself notifying the mayor and in
wiring ahead for the couple ne had
last seen the child with to be arrest
ed.
A reporter saw Sack at the county
jail tonight. When asked about the
case Sack said that he had no state
ment to give out. The reporter then
asked him point blank if he and his
wife had really forgotten the baby,
and he answered that that was for
the newspapers to find out. When
told that it had appeared IN The
State that he had married widow
only three months ago, he said the
newspapers always put things in the
worst light and were general wrong.
The reporter told him that 1t always
turned out that the newspapers were
right nine times out of 10. Sack
said that the people always took the
10th paper, and a fellow could gel
no showing in them.
*tWell," said the reporter, IL Ii

''You saw it in print, didn't you?'
asked Sack. "Well, then, it mus
