Mr and Mrs Jakie Pneatrr were the gueata of Mr. and Mrs J M Brant Sunday. Mr Augustine Weaklay is home for the Summer vacation Flak Fry A moat delightful flah fry »nd bar bacue dinner wni given at Hagood s Mill Saturday by the members of the Barnwell Bar in honor of their dis tinguished visitor Chief Justice Eugene B Gary, of Columbia Only lawyers, the Court officials and the editors of the two county papers were invited. The trip to the mill was quickly made in automobiles and there Sir Izaak Wal ton and •‘Hillie” Blackstone joined forced and vied with each in making the day one long to be remembered. The dinner was prepared and eaten in true* picnic style, and when the time came for leaving all present voted the occasion one of the most enjoyable of recent years. Several out-of-town attorneys were present. A Lynching Averted? In response to a message from Black- villetothe effect that a lynching bee was brewing in that town, Sheriff J. B. Morris left here Sunday afternoon, re turning with Cuff Simms and M. Por ter, both negroes, who were lodged in the county jail. From what can be learned here, the two negroes became involved in an altercation with Flag man Neese, of the Southern Railway, during which Simms is said to have struck Neese with a pair of “knucks,” breaking his nose. Simms and Porter were lodged in the Blackville lock-up, where they remained until brought to Barnwell by the Sheriff. Porter was released from custody Tuesday. (Continued from first page.) guard was kept around Jarrel't home, Sheriff Morris making his headquarters there until he shot Austin. The way in which he eluded his pur suers, who at times were within forty feet of him, led many to believe that he was endowed with some almost superhuman instinct, something like the natural instinct of an animal when hidden. Denied Shooting. When seen in the express car of the Brinson train on which he was taken to Savannah, he was lying on the floor covered with a rough piece of crocus sacking, his head propped up on a card board cracker box, and flies buzzing around his wounds. He declared that he was innocent of shooting his alleged victims near Luray on the 30th of April. “I didn’t do it,” said the negro. “I didn’t shoot them white men. They were firing from both sides at me in the bay, shooting from all around, and they shot each other. I didn’t shoot them, boss, honest to God. - ‘‘I just runned and runned until I was tired, so tired that I coundn’t run no more,” said Austin. ‘T slept in the swamps, slept in the mud most all the time. The dogs didn’t worry me none except when they saw me. Then they ran after me. But they couldn’t get after me from trailing. They didn’t worry me at ail. “I didn’t shoot at none of the white men that were after me. When I shot on Monday in the swamp the gun went off by accident. I came to Mr. Jarrel’s home because I was perishin’.” Had Edaafiald’a Gun. When caught one of the two guns with Austin was that of Magistrate Edenfield, of Allendale. That he shot and killed Mr. Edenfield is the asser tion of Messrs. Dunbar, two brothers in the posse, and others who were at the place near Luray at the time Some of the parties admitted that there might be truth in the assertion of the negro that he did not shoot and kill the other two men Austin also said he was innocent of the assault with which he was charged He admitted taking Magistrate Eden field s gun after it had been dropj>ed when the Magistrate wf*s shot, and smiled cunningly and with evident ap preeiation of the tnrk when reminded howr he passed the men surrounding him after Mr Edenfield • death on April »Jth Many asaert that Austin ws* half writ ted Some ten years ago he served on the rhain gang in Screven County, Ga . and then his loud, boisterous talk and defiant manner led people to doubt his sanity It is said that he always laughed with a |»eculiar. charartenstic sound just before shooting at a man or committing some other act of daring or violence This wild laugh is said to have been heard several timet in the swamp* wrhen the pursuers were close upon him. The bloodhounds and Sheriff Morns gun were decorated with white ribbons by the women of Newington and 150 of these women went down to the tram Wednesday morning to see the men off with the wounded and dying negro large crowds flocked to the stations along the route to view the desperado and the tnp was one of rejoicing over the successful termination of the hunt Sheriff Morris is loud in his praise of the hospitality of the Georgia people among whom he was throw n during the man-hunt Invaluable assistance was rendered him and his posse in running the negro to earth He said that Mr Jarrel fed scores of men in the week that the chase lasted hut refused to take a penny in payment. Mrs. Jarrel voiced the sentiment of the people of that section when she said: “1 know your home folks are proud of you, for we are—just as much so as if you were one of us.” Chief of Police Harter, of Allendale, came in for his share of praise from Sheriff Morris, who said that the Allen dale man had been of great assistance to him throughout the long tiresome hunt. In fact, “Capt Jack” is grateful to each and every member of his posses for the parts they played. On another page of this issue is an account of Austin's death and the sub sequent mutilation of his body at Hamp ton. i AdvcrtteemtBt ) h Takas aa Lapm* to properly install a job of plumbing.
