Saturday night Blot Holland, Buck
Carter, Bennie Dodds, Robt. Jackson
and John Huguley, a quintette of negro
bucks, met at Holland’s house over on
Rocky Hill to play a few cards and pass
the time of day. Along about midnight
while the revellerB were deeply en
I grossed in a game of “skin,” Sheriff
Brewster dropped into their midst with
a rudeness and unexpectedness that
g reatly disgusted the gamesters and
roke up the party. They made frantic
efforts to get away, but all were caught
and lodged in jail. Deputy Sheriff Wost
.and Policemen Cruse and Askew as-
| sisted in tho raid.
Last Sunday, on Capt. J. D. Simms
plantation in the Third district, Albert
Sims, colored, became irivolved in an
altercation with Son Calhoun, another
negro, and shot him. Believing that he
had killed hiB man, Sims came to town
and surrendered to Sheriff SrewBter,
who locked him up. Monday morning
Capt. Simms started out to hiB planta
tion to investigate the alleged killing,
when, greatly to his surprise, he met
the “dead man” coming to town, who
seems to have been only slightly
wounded. Needless to Bay, the .Sims
negro was much relieved when informed
that his victim was still alive. The
charge against him has been changed,
therefore, from murder to assault with
intent to kill. Ho will be held for the
grand jury on the last-named charge.
