Another Tragedy at Olar, White Men Being Principals. Bamberg,.!illy 24:?Coroner Zeigler has just returned from Olar, in! :his countv, where he went to hold m inquest over the dead Itody of Lennie Reed, a young white man,; tvho was shot at that place hyl Mafter Morris, also white, on last, Wednesday morning. He died yes-j lerdav, and was buried at the Bap-, :is church cemetery at Olar today. Little evidence was brought out' it the inquest lieyond the fact that1 ? i. i . * n it! Keeil was sn?>t ana laiany wounueu , )v Morris. The cause of tlv difficulty seems to *' a mystery ami by some the act is thought to be al-; ilost* wholly without provocation. .Morris has left for part- unknown md unless he concludes to surrcnd r his arrest is thought to be unikely in the near future. The usual verdict was rendered ?y the coroner's jury and warrant or the arrest of Morris was placed n the hands of the magistrate at )lar. The coroner reports that inclining the three negroes, who were ynched near Olar a few weeks ago, hat section of the county has the menviable distinction of nine homiides to its credit (or discredit) ince the Christinas holidays began. )f the victims six were colored and hree white. Another unusual and interesting act related by him is that in the baptist Church cemetery at Olar, vliich was established alniut eighteen -ear? ago, are to In? found the graves >f nine white men who met death it the hands of their fellow men.
