charged with the murder Of c. S.
Pringles, a white man. A hat identi-
fed as Pringles', a tin can used when
fishing and a skull are the only re-
mains Of the apparently murdered
man. These are now at the office OF
the clerk Of court in Aiken.
Pringles was missed from his home
on the Sd Of July. 1t was thought
that he had gone quietly away, but
few days ago some suspicion was
aroused concerning him and a search
was instituted. C. H. Johns, a friend
of the deceased, went into the Savan-
nah river swamp to search for him.
His boat. for Pringles was fisher
man. was found at its usual place, and
further search revealed a skull, the
hat of Pringles and a can used by
him for keeping bait in. Nothing
further could be found Of the body or
bones. The skull, hat and can we're on
the bank of the river, and it supposed
roat the rest Of the bones were wash
ed into the river or carried away by
the yultures.
