it and the people are unwilling i
to lose a day, especially when
they are busy on their farms,
listening to the kind of speeches
that are being made and no other

There are about 25

Now, people of Union county,
? please inquire of yourselves anc

exists around you. Do you live

BODY OF INFANT
r At ivn in mi i*/
IUUHD IIN UULLI.
HORRIBLE INFANTICIDE?NO CLUE
TO PERPETRATORS.
The Infant Was Rom Alive?Killed
and Hidden in Sack?Mayor
Young's Appea'.
Monday afternoon at :<bout
; three o'clock, a ghastly find was
made in a gulley beyond the pa- *
per bridge near Gage's alley and
Peake's spring in the southern
part of town. It was the decav;
ed body of an infant newly-born
J and tied up in a small meal-sack,
the sack branded Lock hart Mills,
i Attracted by a number of buzzards,
Carrie Richards, Parthenia i
Rogers, Rosa and Walter Daw- *
' kins, all colored, w.ent to the
' spot and found the body partly ^
above ground in the gully, and
with the right arm and leg buried
in the sand.
The head was torn from the ...
body, apparently lay the' buz- . *
zards, while the llesh off the left
arm and leg was eaten away.
; The position of the body indica- <*- ,?
' ted that it had been put into.the '
hi d-ownvvard ar
i Sergeant M. H. Evans was at
once notified of the find. The
body was lel'f in the gully Monday
afternoon . that an inques"
i might be held. Little was done
on that afternoon on account o.'
i the storm; hqwever, the juyv
viewed the body and receiver
the testimony of Dr. Linder.
Mr. Evans gathered up the remains
and interred them in Potter's
field Monday night.
Mayor Young acted as coroner
I on account of Mr. Gregory's sicl ness,
and the absence of Maga1
trate .Johnson. The inquest was
held Tuesday afternoon and con,
eluded Wednesday. The only
I evidence beside the statement of
? those who found the body was
the scientific testimony of Dr.
T .indpi* In hi? rminir?n ?VU1 I
I had been born alive, because of
the lung conditions. And it was
J either white or nearly so; this
judgment was based on the color
! of the skin and the thickness ci
i the skull.
s The evidence all points to a
i dastardly crime. Indeed then?
, is no crime more terrible in it.;
^ nature than infanticide. Killing
a helpless infant not responsible
for either its birth or life, is d< :
serving of severest punishment.
I Mayor Young on Wednesday
1 afternoon made an eloquent api
peal to the people of Unit a
- County, "it is the most hori
hie act perpetrated in Union du>
ing my administration; blind ti. I
ers and the like are tame affairs
