will try Major Littleton, W. T. Waller
and Lieutenant John. IL A. l ay, of the
marine corps, on March 17 next on the
charge of executing natives of the is

thigh. The next day the man was
shot in the arms. The third day he

young lady has changed the prefix to
her name and is now no longer a
‘‘Miss.’’
Until Tuesday to her friends she
was known as Miss Georgia Harvey.
She came here to school from, Rome,
Ga., about a year ago and upon the
written consent of her parents she was
permitted to pay occasional visits to a
family of friends in the city. This
family had a number of boarders in
the house, among them being a Mr.
Garrison, a representative of a Chi
cago portrait concern. He paid the
young lady marked attertion.
When she returned to school this
winter the young lady received a call
from Mr. Garrison, he was denied
the privilege of seeing hev. however,
as he had not been given the written
permission from the young lady's pa
rents. The girl seemed to grow res
tive under the restraint of school liL'
and is said to have intimated once or
twice that she would run away with
Garrison, but she was dissuaded.
Yesterday it was decided to let her
return to her home in Georgia and she
went to the station in company with
a lady who is associated with the man
agement of the school Before the train
left, however, Mr. Garrison arrived am!
claimed his bride.
The announcement created astonish
ment and *the surprise was increas
ed very much when those interested
were informed that the young people
had been married since last June, at
which time the lady, by special per
mission from her parents, had been al
lowed to make a visit to Charleston
in company with the family in the
city to whose home she had been a
welcome visitor. On this visit to
Charleston she was married to Mr
Garrison by a magistrate.
Until yesterday they had guarded
their secret so carefully that not even

buried between the graves of white
people. His body was dug up and left
exposed. It was cut and slashed and
notices were posted and sent through
the mails to negroes to leave under
pain of the same penalty.
To white people notices have been
sent threatening violence in case they
did not turn off their negroes or if
they offered any hindrance to their
leaving. As a consequence the whites
are arming, as are also their hands,
in preparation of any possible attack.
Sunday six men, armed with guns,
went to the place of Taylor Foster,
who Is a large employer of negro la
bor. They threatened to fix him in
the same way they did the negroes in
case he did not turn off his hands and
help drive them away. To Tiles Wyatt
was sent a notice to the same effect.
It is feared that bloodshed will oc
cur before it is finally settled.

girl his intentions, and when the
schoolteacher confronted him he con
fessed.

daughter, caused the arraignment of
the Robinson boy before a justice and
the latter issued a warrant for the
lad's arrest on the charge of threaten
ed murder, and the boy was held by
th; sheriff.
The principal of the Blue Point
school testified that the boy had made
a confession to him. He had said he
intended to hide in the woods opposite
the girl’s uncle's home, and as she
passed lie meant to shoot her and bury
her. He said he had the revolver with
which to commit the deed. He showed
the revolver to other children, who
l told their parents, and it was reported
j to Principal Perry for action.
The Robinson boy said the plan was
his own, but he intended to let another
boy share in the crime. He needed
help to drag the body of the girl to
the railroad track in order to let a
train run over it, to give the impres
sion that she had been killed by the
cars. Then he intended ^o bury the
body in a box in the woods.
