Bishopville.May 18:?JnoHCampbell
and Aaron Campbell, his son, 1
flHfeW' were killed by M L Garrett, since (
.Friday the father-in-law of Aaron
Bin Campbell. After firing the fatal 1
II shots Garrett dragged his daughter,
^^^B N bride of three days, to the swamps
i fpw hundred vards away and there
r defies the body of men that soon k
sought his capture. Garrett only
eight months ago completed a term
of two years in the penitentiary after
conviction of a charge of having
illicit relations with his daughter,
the girl that figures in the double
/ ^/tj-agedy of today.
i -v Late tonight the hunted man is
^ surrounded by posses, aggregating
probably 150 men. The net is slowly
tightening and as the hunters are
; ' aided by bloodhounds from the State
l * penitentiary and the State farm his
i ! capture seems certain. The dogs
11 picked up the trail this afternoon
? II and followed it until nightfall.
Uk Garrett's daughter eluded her fa- 1
ther and escaped. She was arrested (
by Sheriff Robert Muldrow, of Lee 1
BgB county, who is on the scene and was brought
to Bishopville jail by E N
|Hh Austin, Bishopviile's chief of police. !
UhRh According to the girl, her father '
B has announced his determination not 1
hH? to be captured alive. He is said to |1
be heavily armed, having the gun i(
BOHR with which the two Campbells were
killed and a revolver with a sack '
1 tilled witn ammunition.
It is believed that the hunt has 1
been suspended until daybreak when ]
it will be resumed. With Garrett ^

Garrett was released from the
penitentiary at Columbia, July 16,
1912, after serving two years for the
inspeakable offense for which he was
ronvicted. Last Friday this daughjer

and took up their abode at the
lome of John H Campbell on the
Rose Hill plantation, 13 miles from
Bishopville. Garrett lives at Dalzell,

Garrett is said to have gone to the
Campbell home about 1 o'clock this

said to have declared that after the
double killing her father told her his
plan was to kill the two Campbells,
secure some money and leave the
country with her.
As the news was circulated posses

towns envious indeed.
Contractors and carpenters are
busy on every hand, new people are
moving here constantly and while
this is not a boom town at all,it certainly
is bounding forward.

Kingstree was here Wednesday and
Thursday looking after the sand-clay

shipped from here every day to the
Northern markets and bring handsome
prices.
