men upon any or all Of its lines.
There are some people, noticeabIy
the strikers themselves, who profess
to rejoice at the decision of the
Board that colOred men. who do the
same work are entitled to the same
pay as lite firemen. In speaking of
this decision Vice-President Ball of
the white fremen is quoted as say
ing that Negro hremen we're hired
simply because they could be secured
for less money.
He claims that the decision of the
Board will result in the elimination
OF the colored man as a fireman for
the reason that when white men can
secure better white labor for the
same money, the white labor will
secure the preference. This rule
will hold good too when applied TO
the colored men. There is no more
reliable or better laborer in the world
than may be found among the col
ored men Of the Southland. who he

living one mile from Scott. and just
across the Laurens line jn Johnson
county. was shot and instantly killed
Mrs. Howell was seriously, II not
fatally injured. and a son was fired
at by a Negro named Robert Jenkins.
The shooting occurred in Howell's
field, the weapon used being a pistol.
Howell was struck in the head, neck
and breast, four shots being fired
at him. Mrs. Howell was wounded
in the neck. The boy was not hit
Howell died in a few moments af-
ter being shot. but Mrs. Howell Is
still living. though little hope is en-
tertained for her recovery.
The cause OF the shooting was a
difficulty with the Negro on account
of his quitting his job and refusing
TO pay Howell a debt.
After his desperate deed jenkins
escaped. A large crowd of white
men soon gathered In the community
and officers at Wrightsvilie and Dub
lin were telephoned for. The party
