Hartsville, May 7.?News came 1 here today that the remains of a colored man wero found yesterday on Black creek, about eight ? miles below here. The body was ] fastened to a stake in the ground, : and bore marks of violence. But I so far as can t>o learned, no I one is missing from that section, 1 so it must bo the corpse of a ' stranger. The caso has been re- , ported to the coroner,and it-is to be hoped that ho will spare no pains < to solve the mystery. The killing ( must have occurred some weeks ? ? possibly months, ago. The citizens of Hartsville nnd vicinity had a mass meeting a1 J n week ago last night in behalf of the BUtierers in India. About, $.00 have been realized ho fur to , help those poor, unfortunate pe > , pie in that far-off land, and we j earnestly hope thut many lives will be saved oy the contributions 1 of our peoplo. i ( t <?
