SHOTS BY NEGRO KILL WHITE MEN BEN PARKER AND BEN JOHNSON SLAIN IN MARLBORO. Crime Near KoIIock?West Coon Captured by Sheriff After Chase and Lodged in Jail at Bennettsville. Bennettsville, Nov. 21.?West Coon, a negro, today shot and killed two white men, Ben Parker and Ben Johnson. The double homicide was at McLeod's mill, in the upper part of Marlboro county, near Kollock. The shooting occurred this morning about 7 o'clock and Coon was captured 12 hours later. He is now in jail at Bennettsville. Johnson was about 35 years of age. He is survived by his wife and four children. Parker was about 32 years of age and is survived by his wife and one child. An inquest was held over both bodies today, the verdict being that they came to their death from gunshot wounds at the hands of West Coon. The negro is originally from1 \ uyce, in LiVAiii^iun cuuiitj* The negro is said to have gone to Johnson's house, about 100 yards from his own house, last night when a difficulty arose. Mrs. Johnson ordered the negro away when he is said to have drawn a revolver and threatened her with the weapon. Ben Parker took the revolver from the negro and it was in turn taken from Parker by Johnson, who used it to beat the negro over the head. The negro is said to have left, to^ return later with a guir, which he snapped at Johnson several times without succeeding in firing it. He is said then to have gone to the home of Lovett Davis from whom he secured another gun. This morning about 7 o'clock Parker and Johnson were walking near Johnson's home when the negro is said to have killed them with shots from the single barreled shotgun secure from Lovett Davis. The shells were loaded with B. B. shot. The negro escaped for the moment, but was arrested tonight at 7 o'clock by Sheriff R. J. Patterson, who found him hiding in the loft of his father-inlaw's barn on the plantation of O. M. ,Pegues. With Lovett Davis, Coon was brought to Bennettsville and placed in the Marlboro county jai'.

Gifford, of the Ball Rock Farm, Maymont, Saskatchewan, Canada, says: "Thanks to Furitola and Traxo I am alive. I lay on my back for sixteen days, suffering the agonies of a dozen deaths. I began taking Fruitola and was relieved of a great many gall-stones. My health is now fully restored. Fruitola possesses properties that act directly upon the intestinal parts. It is a great system cleanser, softening the congested waste and disinte graung tne nardeneu particles that cause so much suffering, and quickly expels the accumulation to the great relief of the patient. Traxo is a tonicalterative that acts on the liver and kidneys, stimulates the flow of gastric juices to aid digestion and removes bile from the general circulation. It serves to build up and strengthen the weakened, run-down system. ....

Mr. Editor, I noticed in last week's I): paper that there were an effort to pet a straight road above Union so to keep the railroad from crossing the public road. This would greatly add j11 to the safety of the home people, but it should start at Herbert, in Union . county. There are a number of death traps between Herbert and Union and * ' there are several very serious acci- s: dents that have occurred within the past year or so. I think the railroad crosses the public road about 20 times from Union to Herbert, a distance of 19 miles, and I am quite sure the people in the lower part of the county will aid if they can get the matter c, going. _ A.
