of a shocking double tragedy, at Rose
Hill, In Lee County, about noon to

^ Garrett haa tc-rved a term in ths
Campbell and Aaron (. ampbell. fat “^"^rnitentiary on conviction of an un-

hay by the btoodhouuda^
The prissuor was taken Immediate
ly to Bishopyillo and lodged la the,
Lee County Jail by Sheriff Muldrow.
* The bloodhounds brought from Co
lumbia by 1. C. Robbins, of the
State penitentiary followed the trail
for about seven miles * through
swamps, Garrett being finally cap
tured. about two and a half miles
fronudrhere he had done the shoot
ing.*
Garrett went to the Campbell’
house on Sunday night.and shot John
H. Campbell as he lay asleep on the
porch. He then went into the house
and killed Aaron Campbell, blow
ing off the top of his head. Aaron
Campbell recently married ^Garrett’s
daughter, and It is said GaVrett had
long threatened to kill anybody who
should marry the girl. After killing
the younger Campbell, Garrett drag
ged his daughter from the house ana
made off to the swamp. The womau
got away from him later and fled to
the town of Bishopville.

and son. respectively, were shot and
both instantly killed by Bob Gar
rett, of Dalxell, Sumten County, ac
cording to reports received here, and
the slayer, who escaped into /"the
swamp, is being hunted by four
, separte posses, whose search up to'
a late hour tonight has been unsuc
cessful. \ y/ >
The elder Campbell, it seems, was
killed while asleep on the porch of
his home, Garrett sending mr.e load
from a douhl^barrelled shotgun in
to the body ofTlis victim.
Top of Head Blown Off.
Aapon Campbell about 24 years
old, arid a son-in-law of Garrett, who
was in the house, heard the shot',
. ran out to investigate. • and finding
that his father had been'shot, went
back into the house', got his gun and
returned to the porch, but before he
could fire the second load from Gar
rett’s weapon blew the top of his
head off. according to the account of
the affair received here.
\ After the shooting. It is said. Gar
rett took bis daughter, who had been
married to Aaron Campbell only last
Friday, and ran into the swamp,
leaving his gun. both barrels of
which were empty, on the porch of
ths Campbell home.
Alleged Cause of Killings.
The alleged cause of the trouble
ia the marriage of Garrett’s daughter
to Campbell, after throats attribut
ed to Garrett tha'f he would kill any
one who came to see of tried to mar
ry hla daughter.
Garrett Is said to hear a very un
savory reputation, and It is -stated
that>sbout eighteen months ago he
waa convicted of hn unnatural of-
fenae, for which he served,a term in
the penitentiary, and that after his
release the alleged threats were
made. . .
Bloodhounds Arrive.
As soon as news of the double
killing N reached the authorities of Lee
and Sumter counties, posses were or
ganised and a request made of Gov
ernor Blease for bloodhounds to as
sist in the capture of Garrett. The
dogs from the penitentiary*arrived in
Sumter at 5.5ft this afternoon, and
were Immediately taken in automo
biles to Rose Hill and put on the
trail:
Posses from Branchville. Sumter
Rose Hill and Dalzell are now search
ing for the fugitive. At 7 o’clock to
night it was reported that the dogs
had taken up the trail and were go
ing In the direction of Oswego. Sum
ter County: A telephone message
'from Oswego stated that ^ a man
whose name could not learned
saw Garrett tr. the public road,

It seems that this person was driv
ing along the road, when some dis
conviction

girl whose husband, and fattier-in-
law he slew last night. He ha»
borne an evil reputation.
NEGROES CAN HIDE

Says Attorney (General On Account of

Columbia. May !».—Special: In a
letter to Chairman John G. Richards,
lr.. of the railroad .commission, rela*
five to a negro ridinjgBfn a Pullman
on an interstate train. Attorney Gen-'
oral Peeples points out that this is a
train over which the State can
not act in the matter, says the
Attorney Genera! in his letter:
'T am in receipt of yours of 0 the
24th iastanf in reference to a negro
riding in a Pullman car on the 14th
Jay of May on Southern Train N'c. 21,
which runs from Washington to
Jacksonville. I no*e that you-aay that
this negro bad secured his ticket and
berth ia th$ city of Washington and
that his destination was Savannah,
Ga. Ia reply thereto I beg to say
hat. being a native South Caroliniai.
and believing in the separation of
the the races and holding the person-
1 opinion that I do in regard to same,
I would be very glad, indeed, to be
able to give you An opinion that the
Pullman Company could not allow
members of the negro race to be pas
sengers in their eara within ‘ the
borders of South Carolina. This, how-
over. ia a matter absolutely beyond
the control of the General Assembly
of this State when it cornea to inter
state travel, and. therefore, is abso
lutely beyond the control of the
Courts or executive department of
this State. \
“WV have no remedy at "law in a
case such as you mention, unless It
should be perhaps a personal remedy,
to w-hich. of course, as Attorney
General I cannot advise you or any
other man to resort. «
• There is no law upon our statute
books, which would reach such
conditions as you set out in your let
ter. and if there were, it would be
inoperative on account of the fact
that it would be in violation of the
federal Constitution, which gives
to the American Congress the sole
right to regulate commerce between
the States.
• I would respectively suggest that
you take the matter up with the
Cnited States Senators and Congress
men from this State and request them
to do that which they would have
doue long ago—make some endeavor
to try and get through some Federal
statute similar to our State statute
providing for seperate accommoda
tion for the different races upon
whom he took for Garrett; that he
endeavored to overtake the probab’e
fugitive, who. however, turned out of
the road ami disappeared in the |
woods. No pursuit was attempted, j >f Hquor. leaving to the respective
the map In the bupey not befhg I States the right to regulate the ear
armed and believing the other to be. ryinland transportation of^nt^rstat*.
This’party also stated that later the passengers in thi* particular, a* i*
man he took for Garrett ra^d
house and took the road leading to
Sumter.
It is reported here that ?Irs t air.p-
bell (Garrett's daughter> was f-und
on the South Caroline. Western Rr i.
road at a point about e.ght m.Ses |
from the scene of the tragedy, which |
indicates that father nr.d daueuter
