or soda water when they pass
through.

negro quarters last week. The
council had to sit on their case and
our mayor fined one $5 for getting
* whipped, and the other one $10 for

rights.

POLICEMAN KILLS NEGRO. |
Dock Lerk Shot by Officer Haselden
at Florence. !
Florence, April 29.?A negro by
the name of Dock Lerk, believed to (
belong in Columbia, was shot and instantly
killed by Poilceman J. L.
Haselden this afternoon. Lerk is one
of the construction force working on
the Seaboard extension out of Hartsville,
and he came down to Florence
to "liquor up" evidently, and he is
said to be very ugly when drinking.
He is a big negro over six feet in
height and over 200 pounds in
weight. !
The story as accepted by the coroner's
jury is that he was with disorderly
negro women and got into a
quarrel and knocked one of them ,
down. The police were called and
Haselden responded. The negro went ,
some distance with him when one of
the women following advised him not
to go, as he had done nothing. Lerk
then turned on the policeman and
choked him and wrestled writh him
and finally in a breakaway drew a
knife, which was found beside him.
Haselden then shot and killed him.
The .coroner's jury found that the
homicide was justifiable.
