HI DOWN BY NEGROES.
C. K- MCORD SHOT AT BY NEGROES.
We clip the following from the
Augusta Chronicle of yesterday:
Mr. C. E McCord, who runs gener
al stores and a grist mill near Slate
Rock, in Columbia county, about 25
miles from Augusta, had a thrilling
experience day before yesterday,
while on his way to the city. He
narrowly escaped a violent death at
the hands of negro ruffians, who
hounded him and chased him with’
the avowed intent of taking his life,
assigni :g no cause or reason for their
purpose. The negroes are now safely
lodged in the county jail at Appling,
being unable to give bond in large
sums for their appearance at the next
term of Columbia Superior Court.—
They are Aaron Harden and Jim and
Charlie Mims, known in Columbia
county and Augusta as Jpretty tough
cases.
DETAILS OF THR AFFAIR.
On the day mentioned, when Mr.
McCord reached the Stern place, 12
miles from Augusta, on his way to
this city, he was, without apparent
cause, attacked by Aaron Harden,
who, after the most insulting lan
guage, fired at McCord with a pistol.
Stern’s place is in District No. 1, a
locality noted in the county for its
negro desperadoes and the lawle s
ness of the brother in black. Mr-
McCord was unarmed at the time,
and his only safety was in flight—
Hotly pursued by the seemingly
crazed negro, McCord dashed down
the road toward Augusta, seeking to
distance bis would be assassin.
FLIGHT FROM THREE RUFFIANS .
Halt a mile farther on, at the forks
of the road, near Mra. Griffin’s, Har
den was joined by two other ne
groes, Jim Mims and Ch.-.rlie Mims,
and the three, after a hurried consul
tation, started, mounted on mules, in
pursuit of McCord’s buggy, yelling
and firing at him. The race for a
mile was a most exciting one. The
negroes at times rode up to the
wheels of the buggy and deliberately
fired at McCord, but miraculous as it
may seem he escaped unscratched,
though balls flew thick around him,
one passing through his hat. McCord
was powerless. Continued flight, and
energetic dodging were his only
hopes. A mile onward Dr. Smith s
house was reached, the negroes hav
ing been left three or four hundred
yards in the rear by this time.
END OF THE CHASE.
Mr. McCord drove up to Dr.
Smith’s and his hurried statement of
what had happened was corroborated
by the appearance of the ruffians,
who, however, offered no further vio
lence and disappeared. Dr. Smith
insisted on McCord spending the
night with him, but the young man
refused and proceeded to the resi
dence of Capt. West, on the route to
Augusta. Capt. West, who is a police
magistrate, tried to induce McCord
to spend the night at bis house, but
the offer was declined. Procuring
from the Captain a shotgun McCord
continued his journey to Augusta un
molested.
THE RUFFIANS CAGED.
Capt. West secured a description
of the negroes from McCord, and
early yesterday morning started in
pursuit of the ruffians. He soon suc
ceeded in capturing Harden, who im
plicated the other negroes, at d the
three were quietly arrested. At dis
trict No. 1 the negroes were given a
preliminary hearing, Air. McCord ap
pearing against them. They gave no
cauoe for their attack, while admit
ting the facts above given, and were
bound over in a large sum to appear
before the next term of Columbia
Superior Court to answer the charge
of assault with intent to murder. Fail
ing to give bond, they were securely
handcuffed, and under the escort of
Messrs. McCord and West carried to
Appling and safely lodged in jail.
a magistrate’s good work.
The foregoing narrative is given by
Mr. McCord himself. He speaks
glowingly of the promptness of the
efficient magistrate in so quietly ef
fecting the arrest and incarceration
of the would-be assassins. There is
no little excitement in Columbia
county over the affair. Mr. McCord
can assign no cause for the murder
ous attack. His escape was some
thing almost miraculous, for else than
a pretty bad scare he is unhurt. A
term of service in the penitentiary
walls is promised the black da e
devils.
Mr. C. E. McCord is well known in
Augusta. He is a nephew of Mr. Z
McCord, in whose employ he has been
here for quite a while. Later he was
engaged in the shoe business here
under the firm name of McCord A
Dill He has many friends here who
ccngratulate him on his escape.
