On Saturday Sheriff Raborn returned from Waynesboro, Ga., with Ben Harp- ser, the negro charged with the killing •of John Henry Lamar during a fracas <overa gambling game near Langley seventl Sundays ago. The game was quite a large one and maa being psirticipated in by a number «tf jnen, both white and colored. A row started and Lamar was killed, the by standers charging Harper with the (crime. The negro disappeared and up tto Thursday had not been heard from. <OnFriday Sheriff Raborn received in- Saemation from the sheriff of Burke county ithat he bad the WABVSd negro folkis .possessioai &aU*rday -morning igbariff Raborn went to Waynesboro for albe man, and after identifying the ne gro, brought him to Aiken. The negro admits that he was pres ent at the game and that he fired two ■hots with a pistol that he picked up 4uring the fight, but claims that he -did not fire the shot that killed the negro. At the time the new* of the killing was published it was intimated that aome of the white men in the game might be implicated in the crime, but Harper, beyond denying the fact that he killed Lamar, does not make any charges. At the time of the killing there was aome little excitement owing to the fact that it was not a * Jim Crow” gai. «. and it is claimed even now that some of the white men had more to do with the killing than has come out so far. Further than denying that he com mitted the murder. Harper would not talk and told a white man from Aiken who was questioning Mm that he would tell all about it when he was placed on trial. Sheriff Raborn did not have any trou ble with the negro, he agreeing tocome to Aiken without having requisition papers taken out, claiming that he was not afraid to face the trial. He said that he had run because* he was afraid and after the first fight he thought that he had better keepquiet. Harper is a large negro of the coun try type and is of about the average in telligence of a negro. He talked quite freely and did not appear to care much •bout his arrest except that he seemed to be nervovs. IKOTlfE. —SALEOF YALUABLE REAL ESTATE- Notice is hereby given that by au thority of the last will and testament of the late Mrs. Martha S.
