"^Magistrate Bowen held an inquest over nthe body of tho dead negro. The ver edlet of the jury was that he o rmo to his death at tho hands of parties unknown. The woman, who testified at tho in quest, said that about 10 o'clock a crowd of about GO white men tame to the houso and, after ehoot'ng and kill ing Elrod, glvo them a severe beating and warned thorn to leavo the country. '? The women satd they did not recog nize any of their assailants, but thoy did not live in that community. This is all that is definitely known. The gcnoral supposition is that the women were objcotlonablo to tho peo plo of the community and that a posse of citizens went to tho bouso to chas tlso and drive them away and that El rod resisted and was killed. The alTair is strongly condemned by tho people in and around Piedmont and a thor ough investigation will be made. NFWS OF FOWLERS. An Aged but Active Lady?A Flue Mail Service?
