KILLED TWO NEGROES.
Checkcred Career of Laurens Con.
yict Captured After Nineteen Years.

tiCt captured Alter Nineteen Years.
Henry Suber colored, of Laurens
county, escaped from the State farm
10 years ago, after serving four years
of a seven-year sentence for man
slaughter. He was arrested at Cam
denf Wednesday by Deputy Sheriff S.
G. Reid of Laurens, who thought his
capture was Tack Fuller. another ne
gro who escaped from Laurens after
killing another negro in 1892. Suber
thought his identity was known to the
officer and confessed to having fired
the shot that killed Thorton Nance
at Piedmont church 19 years ago. At
the time of his first trial he was SEN
fenced to hang but escaped the gal
lows upon second trial. Six other
negroes were convicted at the same
time. They were all given varying
terms in the penitentiary.
After his escape from the State
farm Suber made his way about the
country, finally taking up his resi-
dence in Camden. Here he again be-
came involved in fight with another
negro and killed his second man. This
was in 1897 and as result of his
conviction he was given five-ycar
term on the county gang of Kershaw.
While in Camden Suber passed un-
der the name of John Gaymond.
Suber was taken Thursday morning
to the penitentiary and he has already
begun to serve the remaining three
years of his sentence.-Co Columbia Rec

Talesman T. e. Preston next was

he still cherished strong prejudice
against labor unions.
