Clynn county jail under sentence to
die on the gallows next Friday, is
perfectly ready and willing to give
up bis life in the manner ordered by
the court, but when it comes to burn

death in that manner When a crazy
negro set fire to his bedding at the
jail Thursday night. which caused the
Jail to fill with smoke, Pollard was
one Of the first negroes TO give the
alram, and he, together with several
other prisoners, was greatly frightcn-
ed and feared that if the Jail was
really on fire they would be burned
TO death before they could be rescued.
Pollard has one more chance to
miss the moose next Friday. An appeal
win be made IN his behalf Monday
by his attorney, j. r. Powell, and, II
the petition is denied then the negro

NEGRO IS KILLED
ACCIDENTALLY
TOM FRAZIER HAD THE MISFOR
TUNE OF BEING STRUCK BY
TIMBER.

sad accident occurred yesterday
morning at the docks Of the Mallory
Steamship company when Tom Fra
zer, respected negro of Brunswick,
was struck on the jaw and his neck
broken by piece Of timber being
loaded into the steamer Santiago.
The negro was standing in the port
while men from a deck above him
were raising timbers from the water.
For some reason Tom failed to see the
piece raising right into his face as
it swung back and forth and allowed
it to catch under his chin The blow
was so heavy that he fell off onto the
raft Of timbers below and was dead
in few minutes.
Frazier had been in the employ Of
the steamship company for many
years and was a well respected negro
in the city. Being so well informed
about the practices Of loading cargoe /
into vessels il is hard to understand
just why he allowed this to occur
1t was stated at the Mallory local
office yesterday that his work was in
naother part Of the ship and it is on
ly presumed that he had gone to the
port TO get breath Of fresh air when
the accident occurred He leaves a
wife and eight children.
