Last week the New York papers 1 featured the runaway of two high 1 school boys and a high school girl in 1 a high-powered automobile belonging ' to.the Barents of one of the boys. The runaways returned in a few days and were promptly forgiven. As the New York World put it, "they are safe home again without even a spanking : v -' to* punish them." i But The World'p editorial observa- 1 tions may well be pondered by all > ' .M parents. The World said: v . ' "Isn't there some kind of moral in v V this for" parents? The sight of sixteen-year-old boy careening around the country in high-powered automo- 1 biles is a familiar sight.

Lipscomb, a promi' nent farmer of the Ninety Six sec! tion, was shot five times and killed by Pink Griffin, a negro farm hand, t shortly after noon today, The killing occurred in Dr. Lipscomb's backyard at his home, a short distance from I Ninety Six, on the Greenwood-Nine- | ty Six road, shortly after the negro j returned from field work for dinner, j and is believed to have resulted | from Dr. Lipscomb's censure of the negro for mistreating a mule. There were no eyewitnesses to the killing, but David Machen, another ifarm hand, heard the words passed between the white man and the ne gro to be followed by the rapid fir- j :np of a pistol a few minutes Inter. ) Dr. Lipscomb's right hand was pow- j der burned, which leads to the con- 1 ciusion that after he was shot one ] time be grappled for the negro for ! the weapon. Three shots went over j Vn?urt_ nn<> throuerh the left hand, i and the fifth through the right arm. The theory is advanced that Dr. ) Lipscomb was in the act of turning j to go into the house when the first ] bullet was fired through his left side ranging upward over the heart and that he turned anS tried to wrench the pistol from the negro's hands when he suffered the powder burns. The other shots came in quick succession. Dr. Lipscomb died before anyone reached hiTi. , Griffin fled immediately after the shooting and at 2 o'clock this afternoon had not been caught although nffipprc and ? nnssp of a larce num ber of citizens from- Ninety Six and Greenwood began search for him within a few minutes after the news ,vas spread broadcast. Bloodhounds will be sent up frpm .Newberry and put on Griffin's trail without delay. Greenwood, July 5.?Pink Griffin was captured about two hours after i the fatal shooting, while still in-the neighborhood of Ninety Six. He made a complete confession before being spirited away to the Laurens jail. David Machen, another negro, was implicated and is now in jail.
