O'Clock this afternoon, while religious
services were being held at the State
penitentiary, three white prisoners es.
capped, but were soon after recaptured.
It seems that the three men, not being

They forced portion of an iron grating
from window, and then by means of o
rope, made of blankets and bedticking,
they lowered themselves 10 the inner
yard. Then, with the aid of some rope
and an iron hook, they pulled them.
selves TO the top of the wall, and gained
their liberty. They were discovered by
the guard, and the alarm was given and
pursuit Instituted. The escaping con
victs succeeded in reaching Hollywood

of citizens joining in the chase: Shot
guns and pistols we're freely used, and to
the surprise of the pursuers two of the
convicts returned the fire with pistols
which, by some as yet unknown means,
they had secured. Before being taken,
one Of the conyicts, Edmund Green,

another, Hugh Nixon, received load of
squirrel shot in the back. The third
convict. Joseph Panley, was retakeD

a Washington City physician
argues that the best way to advance the
cause of temperance 10 to make and
enforce very severe laws against public
drunkenness. In Washington two mur.
ders month occurred during the past
sixteen months, aud FIVE out Of every six
of the cases were due to drunkenness.
OF all the sensual exercises OF modern
communities, drunkenness is the most
dangerous and destructive: The habit is
under tho ban of both human and divine
law, but our laws are not enforced as
they should be. It is worse than useless
to make practice of arresting poor men
and vagabonds when they are drunk if
congressman, generals and millionaires
are to be spared. Make clean sweep of
them all, urges the Washington doctor,
and the evil will be greatly diminished.
There is some force in all this, but it
does not touch the cases of the large
classes with whom the craving for liquor ia
d disease or mania. If these men are
tho victims of disease, perhaps inheri.
ted, what sense or Justice is there in
furnishing them? They are not proper
objects for the penal terrors of the law.

Quick and Deadly ResSngc for an Assault
OH O White Woman.

A gentleman who returned here on
Monday night from ride into Laurens
In pursuit Of Bob Griffin, white man
accused of stealing o watch, brought
strange and horrifying story. He stated
that while riding in the road in Laureus
County on 'ionday morning he came
suddenly on the dead body of negro
man, which on examination he found to
be perforated with bullet holes. Enquiry
in the neighborhood elicited the infor.
nation that the man had been killed in
consequence Of an attempted outrage on
white woman.
A representative Of the News inyesti.
gated the matter yesterday afternoon and
learned the following:
The negro's name was Charles vii.
liams. He appeared in the Highland
Home section Of Laurens two or three
weeks ago and has been working about
there ever since. He has caused some
anxiety among the people, especially the
ladies', by frequently parnding the public
roads with pistol in his hand. He was
large, burly man of unprepossessing
appearance. On Friday morning at
about three o'clock young lady who
lives near Highland Home was awakened
by some one standing by her bed with
hand on her. Sho enquired who it WAS
and then screamed, whereupon the in
truder ley fiat on the floor as If to hide,
but finding that the lady continued TO
call for help fled, leaving the house by
door he had broken open to enter. The
lady's brother, who was away from home
with tbreshing machine, was sent for
early n3xt morning and hastened home.
He and others examined the tracks Of
the invader and found them to Gt shoes
worn by Williams, who was arrested in
the neighborbood, in size, shape and
other respects. Williams was much con.
fused when arrested and told two stories
of where he had spent the previous night,
both of which were found to be false.
When taken before the young lady whose
room had been entered, Williams was
positively Identified by her as her assnil-
ant.
A magistrate was sent for and the evil
dence was beard. 1t was decided to
commit the prisoner to jail to await trial
and be was put in charge of two deputies
to be taken to Laurens. AS they were
on their way they were suddenly halted
at branch between Yergin's and Crisp's
by fifteen or twenty unmarked men who
opened fire on Williams with various
firearms, riddling his body aud head and
killing him almost instantly. His body
was left in the road to await the arrival
of the coroner.
When Williams valise was examined
four locks of hair from the heads of
white women were found in it. What
they meant could, of course, only be
conjectared.- GreenviNe Ne,ps.

No one should marry for wealth. The
man that sells his vote deserves the cons
tempt of his fellow citizens, but the man
who sells himself and betrsys the trust
of d woman's heart would sell the Lord
for thirty pieces Of silver.
Family position should not be regarded
Of chief importance. Every man ought
to make something Of himself "Who
wants to be the mere appendage ofa
powerful family" or be spoken Of as the
man who married "Miss So and &c." or
the daughter of "Mr. So and So% Prince
Albert might have made q name for
himself had he married some good wo.
man unknown to fame, but for all time
he will be known as Queen Vietoria's
husband"
In the outset let the man make sure
that his motives be those found in the
Bible. In choosing a wife God requires
man to seek a woman "suited to him."
The wife is to devote her entire being to
the highest good of her husband. By
her moulding influences he is to become
nobler and purer as the years roll on.
Love must ever remain the controlling
principle in married life. But the law OF
God requires that the wife shall be
"suited" to her husband. Her character
must be such as he can admire, and his
love must be directed by those qualidca-
tions of mind and heart that will make
her ''suited" to him in his life work. The
whole question of choosing wife may
be settled by the closing words of the
text, "a helper suited to him."
