MURDKR IN CHBSTKRFKELD
Committed Lavt June and Recently
CQmrt To Light|
That a murder wai committed in
Mt. Croghan Townahip last June
came to light 1a?t Saturday night,
when the body of James Roberion,
colored, about 20 yearn of age, wan
dug from a saw dust pile near Mays
ville by Sheriff Grant and his depu
ties. Several hours be/ore the actual
finding of the body, a colored man
named Diggs was arretted in Wades
boro on instructions from Sheriff
Grant, who charged him with the
killing of Koberson.
Roberson wan not a resident of this
c.ounty, having <<?ome from North
Carolina, and hia disappearance had
not attracted particular notice.
Information, however, reached the
sheriff Ijast Saturday that caused him
to start an investigation.
The body was finally found in the
large saw dust pile about daylight
Sunday morning. Coroner Atkinson
was immediately notified, who called
together a corouer's jury and assisted
by Dr. D. T. Teal, county physician,
an inquest was held.
Two men, claiming to be eye wit
nesses to the tragedy, one white and
one colored, testified before the jury.
Their story was practically identiical
in all important points.
The first "witness was H. B. Tucker,
white, who told the jury that on the
day in question in the second week of
June, he with three colored men were
working in an oat field. These men
were Ernest Diggs, Sander Sellers
and one named Grummety; that Jas.
Roberson, a cousin of Diggs, was
plowing, in a cotton field nearby; that
Diggs' little tfh'l came to the field
and told her father that Roberson was
beating the mule. Diggs left the oat
field and a few minutes later Rober
son came down and sat on a log. He
was follewe.d by Diggs, who came up
from the rear and struck Roberson
several blows on the head with a
"chair post." Roberson jumped up
and ran about 25 yards and fell. The
men in the field carried hiim to the
shade of a tree, where he died in a
few minutes. " Mr. Tucker says that
they picked up the body and carried
it into the woods toward a saw dust
pile, he following part of the way
and returning.
Sanders Sellers' testimony corrob
orated that of Tucker and it seems
he was able to guide the officers in
their search for the body.
Dr. Teal, on examination of the
body, testified that the boy's skull
wm| fractured on the left *4det iang
ing to the right temple and that the
fracture was sufficient to cayiae his
death.
The verdict of the jury wa>? that
James Roberson came to his death
from blows on the head by a chair
post in the hands of Dig**
j The body of the negro boy was in
a fair state of preservation.
It is believed that fear of Dig#*,
had until recently sealed the mouths
of the witnesses. ? -Chesterfield Ad.ver?
tiser.
(Joea to Electric Chair
Chesterfield, Sept. 28.? Criminal
court adjourned Saturday evening, af
ter Judge Henry had sentenced Krn
eRt Diggs, negro, to be electrocuted
after a jury had convicted him of the
murder of Henry Robison, 19 year
old Charleston negro. Diggs, after
the fatal blow was struck with the
help of others concealed the body of
the dead man in a saw dust pile. His
confederates were sentenced to six
months each for assisting in the con
cealment of the murder.
Ha? Flock of Pheasant*
Lexington, Sept. 24. ? Joe M.
Caughman, Lexington game warden,
has twenty grown pheasants, bred, in
his yard, and is planning to raise the 1
beautiful game birds on a larger!
scale next season.
"I set two chicken hens with
pheasant eggs purchased in the '
north," Mr. Caughman said yester
day.. "From the first setting, in
June, ten of the young grew to ma
turity. The thirty eggs set in July
hatched out well, but I was able to
o i
raise only ten of the chicks. The
twenty grown pheasants 1 now have
are thriving.
"Had it not been for extremely hotr
weather, 1 would have done better
with my last hatching, as 1 had
learned what to feed them on and
how much to feed them at a time.
I got the eggs from Possum Hollow
Game Farm, Springfield, O.
"I am going into it on a larger
scale another season. They are the
most interesting birids I 'ever saw and
the greatest destroyers of insects.
Pheasants sell for twelve dollars a
pair. Mrs. H. N. Kaminer and I arc
in together on this; she has some ot'
the birds and I the rest."

happy to be back in God's country,
young Mr. Crawford depose* and
says:
"I was led to believe that there
were plenty of jobs in Florida ami
that a young chap who wasn't afraid
of work could get along much better
theiv than he could in South Caroli
na. So I went to Tampa. I loafed
around a week before I got anything
to do at all. Then I got a place work
ing at a filling station, a Standard
OH concern in Tampa. The pay was
$21 a week. I decided that since I
was working regularly it was neces
sary to eat regularly. I looked about
for an abode and was accepted as a
boarder at $18 a week. At the board*
ing, 'house like all Florida boarding
houses you pay in . advance. They
have no stars. Well, I worked a while;
but nothing was said about any ad
vance in. wages. I got an occasional
tip from some tourist who came to
the station to be supplied with oil and
gas ? sometimes as much as seventy
five cents a day .in tips; but more of
ten no tip at all, of course. One day
the landlady said sihe would have to
increase the price of eats, because
Everything was so high and 1 couldn't
figure how the dickens I could accom '
modate her with more pay: 1 hadn't
spent quite all the money I took to
Florida with 'me, so I figured the best
thing I could do was to get out of
Florida before I had to walk out. So
1 started, got as far as Columbia
where I met friends with money and
then came on to 'home where 1 am
glad to be, and I think I know all 1
want to know about Florida, thank
you, sir." ? Yorkville Enquirer.

Jj trick
worth knowing
"IX 7AIT A MINUTE. You
* * don't need to open up that
vacuum tank to fill it after you
have run completely out of gas.
I'll show you an easier way. Just
step on the starter and spin the
motor for half a minute or so
while I plug this vent with my
finger. Your engine will suck
the air out of the vacuum tank
and fill it with gas for you."
Just another handy trick the Fleet
Boss has learned from experi
ence. No wonder he is full of such
stunts. He has been working with
automobile engines for twenty
years. Maybe that is why he
always recommends "Standard"
Motor Oils for they have two
generations of experience in re
fining behind them. Experience
counts in refining as in every
thing else.
