An Explanation.
We begin publication of the treas
urer’s report in this issue. As its pub
lication must be completed within a
specified time, we are forced to run
several columns each week. For this
reason our usual amount of news and
other reading matter is cut down con
siderably. However, this congestion
will only last a short time and after
that our readers will get the full
amount of good live news items.

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.
