The dead body Of a negro was
found near the trestle over Tugaloo
river, near Madison, on tho South
Carolina side, last Wednesday morn
ing. The negro is unknown to that
section Of the county, and the theory
has been advanced in some quarters
that he was murdered on the Georgia
on the Carolina side, as there we're
evidences of a wagon having been
driven up to the side Of the railroad
embankment where the body was
found. He had been shot in the head
with pistol or rifle and had been
struck on the head with some deadly
instrument. Either Of the wounds,
according to the examining physi-
clan, would have been sufficient to
have caused death. The physician
also stated that he was under the i'm
preston that the body had been dead
about 48 hours. A description OF the
murdered man, as nearly as we could
get 1t, is that he was about feet 10
or II inches in height, weight about
175 pounds, about 40 or so years old.
Was clean shaved except moustache,
which was about half gray. He was
ruptured on one side. His teeth we're
very irregular and several Tapped one
over the other
