A scene that reminded he older citizens of slavery days was witnessed to-day when Auctioneer Crabb stood on the Court House steps and sold Sy Lewis, colored, to the highest bidder. A large crowd was present, but no one seemed anxious to bid on the darky, probably because it was uncertain whether one could get any real benefit from the negro if he bought him. He was finally knocked down to Arch Hays, a young farmer near town at $2.00. Lewis was sold into servitude for period of nine months upon being convicted at the last term of court of vagrancy.
