Pettiford appeared beferthe Clerk of the Superior Court and made affi davit to the effect that he had fcanse to believe that the infant of Pear Lewis, colored, had come to its death by foul means. Upon this affidavit the Clerk appointed J. P, Hilliard, Esq., Coroner, with the following jury to investigate: A..D. Sawyer, J. E. Iliunant, Thos. Bem- bry, David Harrison Emperor Spruill and 13eni. Leary. The corpse of the infant, which had been buried, was taken up and carried to the jail where the coffin was identined by undertaker W. J . Nurnev. In the absence of the county physician, Dr. W. H. Ward, Dr. B. F. Hallsey, of Roper, was called to hold the post mortem ex amination. Alter a tnorougu ex ternal and internal examination, the doctor rendered the opinion that the child had lived and that it came to its death by strangulation. There were two marks on its throat as an evidence that the infant had been choked to death. After an investigation the jury rendered a verdict that the child had been murdered by parties un known. Circumstantial evidence pointed strongly to the mother, rearl Lewis, and on Saturday a war rant was issued for her arrest. She beit.g confined to her bed the war rant wa3 served and Isiah Pettiford was placed guard over her body un til she is in condition to stand trial. Such a hienous crime in our midst naturally creates excitement and in dignation. The law should be ful ly carried out, and the perpetrator of this, the most innuman crime that has ever stained the history of our town, should pay the penalty. An Accident. On Friday last while Lonnie Smith, a colored man, was at work drawing np logs at the Company mill, his hands were caught in the rope and his arms and hnAv wound up. He was Boon extracted from his position and Dr. S. Hassell summoned. who dressed the wounds and rendered the necessary medical treatment, and at this writing Smith is doing as well as could be expected. 8everal bones in his bands and one wrist were broken; also two ribs in his right side. It was a narrow escape from death, and teaches ns that men cannot be too careful around maohinery. Two Millions a Yeab.
