This will leave a largo number of people te work the roads this year and, from the bad condition the roada generally aro reported in, it weuld be well foi all the overseers to see that Murdered and Body Burned Kershaw Era. Sunday afternoon a week ago the body of Walter Izard, tho colored Cook at Mr. L. E. Cauthen's saw mill, about nine miles east of Kershaw in Kershaw county, was found dead and partially burned, lying in tho ashes of his little shanty, by a young white boy who reported the mutter, and an inquest was held by Magistrate J. T. Truesdel, of Westville. Dr. L. T. Gregory conducted post mortem examination ur.d after a soldiers, arid ask the gentlemen appointed to please bo prompt. Our worthy Lancaster Chapter Daughters of tho Confederacy will on that day present to each living soldier a badge. They are doing all they can, so let us do our part.

This kraut was in a vessel en the fire pluce and it is ' presumed that he was cooking it ! for his suppor, aud while preparing his evening meal, he was kill' cd and his murderer or murderers ! tried to hide thoir deed by reducing tho body to ashes. But now comes he strange part tho investigation: Our informant tells us that enough evidence was adduced at tho inquest to cast strong suspicion on two negroes and yet no urrest has been ordared. This is most inexcusuble neglect of duty on the part of some one and tho matter should I?a ww Vll^Ub IU I iio attention of the proper authorities so that the murder and ueglect of official duty can both be investigated. Murder is not such a light crime that it can pass by without being given more than ordinary notico, and everything possible should be done to bring to light the perpetrator of this dastardly deed oven if the victim is only a poor and abscrue negro. Notice. The gentlemen appointed in the 1 townships last summer and given ( books for the purpose of enroll- , ing the namos of the living and dead Confederate soldiers will ' please return said books by Mar. 1 14th to the clerk of the court. We want a record of all the old eiose inspection ot tho body gave it as his opinion that the man was murdered, his body saturated with oil and burned. This opinion was based on the following very significant facts: The skull was crushed behind tho right ear and clotted blood had formed on the fructure, showing that he had been struck with some instrument, llis arms und legs wore burned off aud enough of tho right side to leave the heart and lungs exposed, and as the shanty was a very small and frail structure, there being no timberslieav;er than a 2x4 in it, and only the framing made of that size, it would scarcely have burned the body so badly, and as there was about a gallon of oil in the can that evening tho presumption was great that it had been poured on the body. There was only one small door to the shnnty and that was at the rear, opposite the fire placo, and the body was lying just inside the locatiou of this door. There was evidence going to show that when the structure gave away it fell toward this end and not the fireplace, evidencing t lit *u_ *S~- > Charles Jeffcoat M'ets Awful Fate, Shot to Death NVhilo Resisting Arrest?The South Carolina Murderer?Also Wauted m Georgia. v The State, Cth lust.
