A correepooflent fit The State,
writing from Bmoaoii. M?y? distasteful
as is the tasfr it Is best that the
tory of the killing of J. K. I^angford
h? told and necessarily is the telling
of it there must he related the too
tragic story of Mary Harris, the
voung white girl who is in- the penitentiary
at Columbia, an eye-witness
of the killing and the occasion of it.
There is no charge against her.
it is possible there may be one
brought?for by her own admission
?h? was accessory after the fact to
the murder of Mr. Langford.
After hearing of the life and environment
of this poor child, one can
but recall what was traced in the
dust by the fingers of Him who came
lo save sinners: "He chat is without
sin among ye, let him cast the
first atone."
With hardly an exception the peo

who have heard the details of the .
case, think the coroner'a- Jury which
fl\ed the killing of Mr Laogford upon
Richard WilliamB, the negro now in
the penitentiary, were right in their
hnding. Two other negroee have
been arreeted and released under
bond to appear as witnesses when
the trial is held. They are Bd Rouse
and Jake Brown.
The evidence adduced at the inquest
in brief is: On Tuesday morning
Mr. Langford, who ran a hotel at
Orunson and also operated a sawmill,
left his home in a buggy, about 8
r'clock. He drove by the telegraph
office and sent a message which was
file* at 8:10. This ftaces the time
essentially. From there he drove toward
his sawmill at Bopeep, but
stopped a short way from the corporate
limits and the house of Bob
Harris, where he talked to Mary Harris*
who was cutting wood in the
yard. He drove off a abort distance,
turned out of the road; tied his home
and got out of the buggy. The girl
halving made a fire, crossed the field
und met Mr. Langford in the woods.
On her way she saw a buggy coming
up the road and reeognized the occupants
as Ed. Rouse and Richard

Collowed by Williams, and did not!
see him again ant*! ne web standing
over Mr. Langfard' with a stick or
chib upraised. The blow fell and
Langford's head cft-opped. He groaned
tut did not spo&k, though she called
I to him. The negro upbraided her
with being unfaithful. She was
frightened and ran home. The negro
did not follow. She wanted to
tell ot' the crome hut wan afraid.
The girl talked freely when she
did tell. Her story was straightforward
and despite traps that were laid
her evld^uce was never Bhaken in the
leant.
The ntory of the search for Mr.
Langford and the finding of his body
on a buggy road in the woods ha*
b?rn told.
i Suspicion fell on Williams before
, Mary Harris told of the par* she had
played in the tragedy. While th<
search was being made for Mr. Lang
ford, Williams volunteered the In
formation that he had seen him 01
the new Fairfax road at an hou
1 when, it was shown by the evident
of the other negro, corroboratini
that of Mary Harris, that he couI<
- not have been in sight of the road
i He did cross the road later in th
* day.
Ed. Rouse testified that he wa
f driving to Hrunson and ovortoo
y Williams, taking hiin in his bugg
h with him. When they got wlthl
n sight of the Harris home, Wiliann
t who is a turpentine scraper, got on

?f in the woods and had to get then
o Rouse did not. see Mr. Langford

is girl. It Is supposed that Williair

the mind revolts from degradatic

a simple half-witted unfortuuate,
t-avt? eloquent testimony that there
Is a gfeat deal of good in the girl.
"Don't keep Mary long/' said the
poor man the night she was taken
f'ora home. "She has been daddy

Poy Tuten for wages and I are Worn

school in Brunaon. Mlary has

owns much of the lend around here
and 98 seres wfthfn the corporate
limits; Since she has grown to 09
large enough she- has labored <2 the
cotton fields with the negroes, be?n
hauled from one field to another with
fieri in the same wagon, and for
some years negroes have been al
most her only associates. Jafco
Hrown's wife has been good to her
she said pathetically when asked ulrv
she wont to the negro's* house. With
the care of Iter young sisters forced
upon her without the association of
sr.y white woman, is it any wonder
this wretched and forsaken chiln
urned to this negro woman who had
known her from her infancy?
"She was the only one I could go
to for advice; when she told me not
to do things I followed her directions,"
said the girl. "She was goo i
to me."
Battling against such odds, no
mother, no friends, a partly helpleess
father who never was of full Intelligence
and who had been whipped in
at battle with poverty, herself ind
fc "r ethers .to food and clothe, can
one greatly wonder that tikis child
strayed from the right path? u And
when she had strayed where was
there one to direct her to* Him who
paid to another erring woman: "Go
and sin no more; Thy sins* are forriVen
thee?"
There be some "blind mouths"
who condemn utterly and talk extravagantly,
but. let it be said that It
was not due to fear of any violence
be.*tig ofTered that the girl was taken
to Columbia. She was as safe in
l&mpton jail as she ia behind -the
walls of the penitentiary, bast to prevent
her being talked to by. the morbidly
curious the sheriff thought it]
'^est to Bend her away.
Meantime the three little sisters
and the father who has worked 17
jearu for wages are without the girl
who "wan a good daughter and both
marnmy and? daddy" to her mother's
children.
