Negro Killed at Clark's Hill.

James Broadwater was commit.
ted to Jail Tuesday by the consta.
BILE of Magistrate J. R. Bodie and
will await trial in the sessions court
upon the charge of killing Hamp
Brooks at a negro church near
Clark's Hill Sunday afternoon. It
appears that each of the two young
negroes laid claim to the same
dusky damsel as his sweetheart, and
it was over this love affair that q
quarrel arose at the church Sunday.
As the war of words waxed warm
Hamp drew a razor and slashed
.Broadwater's arm severely and he
thereupon drew a knife and plunged
it in Hamp's heart. AS the fatally
stabbed negro turned to run he
carved the face of woman who
was standing near. 1t is reported
that the coronec's jury returned a
verdict to the effec: that James
Broadwater acted in self defense.
