   HOMICIDES IN COLUMBUS
   We learn that on the night of the 17th inst., a negro man in the employ of 
LUKE L. YATES of Columbus County, but the property of minor heirs resident in 
Franklin, cut the throat of another negro, also in the employ of MR. YATES, 
causing instant deaths.
   We also lelarn that sometime last week, in Columbus County, a man by the 
name of BOSWELL stabbed another by the name of SPIVEY. SPIVEY died in about 30 
hours after receiving the wound. BOSWELL was arrested and lodged in jail to 
await his trial at the next term of the Superior Court of Columbus, which will 
be on the second Monday after the fourth Monday in September.
