SCENTS BAND OF KILLERS
SHERIFF BELIEVES MARAUDTNG
 GANG IS ABOUT COUNTY.
Has Theory That Murder of the Ne- gro, win Jackson, fs Trace able to the Lawless
 Thuwa.

According to the theory of Sheriff Hood. the killing Of Win Jackson. & trusted negro, on the plantation of Wiley Hill wednesday night. is traceable to a band of negroes who are growing lawiess in the habits and disposition. He believes 1t is this same band that succeeded in covering up the murder of Bill Broaduax, un- til Taylor Lee, who was identified with this band, confessed to the mur- der. Taylor is now serving a sem tence of twenty-five years.
 The sheriff goes further In his de- auctions and Is of the opinion that the murder of Jackson was deliber- ateiy planned. He has learned that a strange negro came to the place where the field all day by his side. After the work was done 1t Is said that this strange negro enticed Jackson out on the road. the stranger carry. ing lantern. The last seen of them was as they walked down the Wood ley road together. Later two shots rang out in quick succession.
 When the body of Jackson was dis covered the strange negro stood by him. while the appearance of the bushes on the side of the road made it appear that the dead man had been shot from ambush. Afterward the strange negro disappeared.
 From what the sheriff has been able to learn. this band of negroes that he has had his men watching. are framing up an aiibi for the party or parties who shot Jackson to death. He Is also of the opinion that the strange negro is hiding in the neigh. borhood of the killing.

 The committee when 1t meets will consider the request of the candidates contained in petition presented to Chairman Jones Friday. A large majority of the candidates united in the request for an early county primary to be held separate from the state primary and In which the county race could be run off without any entangiement with State candidates or State issues.
 The proposed early primary which the candidates want will not apply to candidates for the Legislature The senator and the four members of the legislature from the county. accord ing to the plan are to be selected with the state primary, inasmuch as their selection win have more or less con- nection with State candidates and State issues.
 It seems to be the sentiment of many of the candidates and leaders of the party to separate the nomina- tion for county officers from the nomination for state officers as here tofore, and 1t Is for the purpose of getting the local affairs out of the way so as not to be in any way in- voived with state Issues that an early meeting of the committee was re- quested.
