Former Resident of Society Hill, S. C. Slain Near Macon, Ga. . Macon, May 10.?With six knife wounds in her left arm and six similar wounds in her neck, the body of Mrs. W. M. Bairman, 60, widow of a former assistant editor oi the Macon Telegraph, was found near a well traveled country road, three and a half miles from Macon this morning. A coroner's jury investigating the case this afternoon held that she came to her death at the hands of an unknown assailant and that the same is murder. Sheriff Hicks believes that the woman was slain by a negro. The entire sheriff's force of deputies is-at work on the case. Rewards have been offered for information that may lead to the capture of the guilty person. Numerous raids have I been made during the day and again tonight of negro quarters in various quarters in various parts of the city in an effort to find some trace of the guilty person. Feeling is running high. Mrs. Bairman's husband came from Lancaster, Pa., settling in Savannah when 20 years of age. He had con' j : ? n x ! unuea 111s resiueuce m creurgia, uuni his death seven years ago. Mrs. Bairrnan was Miss Annie Cleland Simons Bacoat, of Society Hill, S. C., before her marriage in Savannah in April, 1896. ; Mrs. Bairman had been in the habit of taking an eight mile walk every day and she always chose the road ! leading to Holton, on which she met her death. She left her home, down town, Sunday afternoon at 1 o'clock, after attending services at Christ Episcopal church. Failing to return at sundown the family conducted an all night search in vain. Scores of persons joined in the search today and the body was found just off the main road near the waterworks pumping station. There was evidence of a struggle, Mrs. Bairman's clothing having been torn. Her hand was lacerated by her assailant in the fight that she put up. Apparently failing in his purpose, in j the opinion of the officers, the negro j in his efforts to hide his crime slashed j the woman's throat six times, severing the jugular vein. Sheriff Hicks and his deputies raided a negro crap game near the scene of the murder Sunday afternoon, two of the negroes getting away. One of | these, officers believe, may know | something of the crime.

Roberson, of Greenville, game warden who was dismissed by Wade Hampton Gibbes, state game warden, according to an opinion rendered to Governor Cooper today by Capt. Morris C. Lumpkin, assistant attorney general, was lesallv dismissed. Some days ago the chief game war-1 den dismissed Mr. Roberson and the Greenville legislative delegation requested the governor to reappoint him. Mr. Gibbes, in a letter to the game warden,' advised him in case of a recommission by the governor, he was discharged automatically upon receipt of the commission, should the executive issue it, which Governor Cooper did not do. Because of apparent inconsistencies in the statute passed at the last sesion of the general assembly, which gave both the governor and the chief game warden power of dismissal, pretation by the attorney general's ofGovernor Cooper asked for an interfice. v Parrot Supreme.

Pardoned Convict Will Stick Around irison wiucn is Jtiome 10 mm. Although he has heen made a free man after serving twenty years in the state penitentiary, says the Atlanta Journal, W. D. Smith, better known as "Barber" Smith, will probably spend the balance of his days at the penal institution, not as a prisoner but as a general factotem and handy man for odd jobs. That is in accordance with his expressed desire and the decision of the state prison commission to allow him to remain at the state farm has been given after a series of interesting incidents. "Barber" Smith was convicted of mayhem twenty years ago in Bibb county. He was charged with having thrown vitriol into the eyes of his landlady. Sentenced to life imprisonment, he served on various road gangs in many counties of the state and according to the records of the prison commission, has been a model prisoner, On December 2, 1919, his sent ence was commuted to "present service," which gave him hiS/freedom but did not restore his citizenship as a pardon would have done. He was then 72 years old. "Barber" spent a few days with relatives at Gray station, but soon left for Atlanta, where he became ill and was sent to a hospital by a charitable organization. On recovering he went back to the state farm and declared his intention of remaining there the balance of his days. It wa? "home" to him, he asserted. The prison commission, at loss to deal with his case has finally decided to let him stay at the farm, doing odd jobs in 4... v. 3 i ~ J ~ j reiuiii iui juiia uua.ru, luugmg auu clothes. f < Case of S.
