Shocking Fratricide in Saluda Count:
Sunday Night-Lawton Lowery
the Slayer.
The State.
Saluda, May 6.-A most shoekin
fratricide was comnmitted last nigh
in the extreme northwestern sectio
of this county when Lawton Lowery
a young wfhite man, shot his broti1
cer, Preston Lowery, to death in th
home of -t.he latter.
From the meagre information ot
.tained this morning, a.t this distanc
from the scene of the awful tragedy
it applears that Lawton Lowvrey, wvh
lived in thle homne of thle brothle
whom he has slain, came in sonie tim
during the night, and going to hi
briotier's roo with a shotgun t01
him .he was g.oing to kill him. Th

was attempted upon little 12-year
old Tincey Sawyer, the daughter of
Mr. Johim -Sawyer, a highly respeet
ed farmer residing in the Miller's
churlich section, -three miles from this
towii. Her screais and the hurried
response of her father, who -was near
by, saved her from the brute.
The child -was taking a cow to the
pasture, near -her father's home, and
upon ,reaching -tie entrance of tihe
pasture, the negro, Lambhold Carmi
chael, sprang from a clump of bushes
aid made for 'the girl, who began to
sereaim fralntically. Her failler heard
i he dist ressin." cries of his lit t le
daIugher, ald ran to her 'assistance.
The negro, seeing the approach of
Mr. Sawyer, made for the nearby
swamp, not however, uit-il t.eic latter
was near enough to recognize Iim,
.who is a well known character in this
section of the county.
The news of the outrage rapidly
sp'ead and within a short time the

disappeared in the swamp.
The lititle girl is a. sister of Wil
liam Sawyer, a well known contrac
I tor and builder of this place, there
fore when the news reached Mullins
excitement, ran .high. Many of the
townsmen hastened to the scene. Up
t on reachiin-g.4 lie neighborhood of the
attempted crime they met the crowds
retlurning from the swamp, wearming
satisfied expressions. When question
C ed as to the outcome of filie chase
t t hey simply remarked that they were
-satisfied and that the negro was
- where lie could do not further crime.
Ot-her than this they would not speak
s of the affair.
The State's correspondent learned
something of the affair from one of
the most prominent citizens of t1hat
section, who said that, from his
knowledge of it 'he believed that the
neg-ro was literally riddled wit-h ibul
lets and talht his body was left ini
Buck swamp. It is said that lie was
7 killed as a last resort to effect his
eapture.
Followinllg upon tie heels of the at
