The flight of these erstwhile labor

/ 1 those who have been of their way of
thinking. They have shown, the yel-1
low/streak. They did not have the i
manhood to take the consequences \1
of their deliberate acts. They were!

This should be the end of the I. W.

more of it in the future, those who '

. 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. Their fath- 1

W. L. C. LIPSCOMB i
KILLED BY NEGRO
I
Greenwood Index.
Dr. Lawton C. 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. Meni- 1
bers of Dr. Cipscomb's family urged
that law be allowed to take its ]
course.
