II Parisher of Jamesville had been and killed by a negro at that place. Sheriff Kerd and Policemen White and Swain of Piymouth and Policeman Chesson of Roper, together with one or two depu ties hurried to the scene to assist the officers of our sister ci ty, if possible, in arresting the outlaw. While one or two arrests were made, the murderer escape and at thif writing has not been taken. Mr. Parisher, a resident of, and formerly Policeman of the town of Roper, this county, had made some reputation as a de tective, especially in "Blind Tigar" cases, and the people cf Jamesville, desirovs of ridding their community of these pests, employed him to catch them. It seems that late on Saturday afternoon he shadowed a bunch of n groes down on the banks of the river and caught one of the number dealing out the fire fluid or 'Monkey Rum. " He walked in and arrested that one, and when he did so someona shot him from behind, the ball taking ef lectin the head, pierc'ng the brain, from the effects of which he died about three hours later w.thout regaining cors:iyusness. After the shooting the party dispersed and escaped. The remains were brought to Plymouth Plymouth on a gas boat Sunday, and from here were taken uverlana to his home at Roper for burial. Our sympathies go cut to the bereavd family and friends. COMMISSIONERS CEEEINGS. PRO- The Board of County Commis sioners met in regular session on Monday, Sept. 3, 1017. Present J. W. Starr, Chm ; T.
