A YouSG GIRL OUTRAaED.-Savannah
Ga, Oct. S.-The eighteen-y ycar-old mute
daughter of Mrs. Jaue Young, recently
ma,ron Of Little Mianie Mission, one Of the
leading charitable institutions of Savauuah.
was ravished in her home, within forty feet
of the county courthouse last night by March
Walker, negro carpet layer who had been
employed about the house during the day.
Finding the girl alone in the upper part OF
the h use, Walker chokel her into iusensi-
bility, and after accomplishing, his purpose
left the house unsuspected. The girl has
been a mute from her birth, aud her inability
to utter cry rendered the accomplishment
Of her assailant's design easy.
After recovering consciousness, the girl
crept down stairs and t9ld her mother of the
assault. The police were not notified until
several hours later, and Walker iu the mean
time, escaped from the city. Special de-
tails Of police and detectives searched oil
night aud during today for him without suo-
cess. negro resembling Walker was ar
rested this afternoon at Guyton, thirty miles
from Savannah, but was released upon fail
ure TO identity him. The crowd gathered
at the depot tonight with the expectation
that Walker would he brought in on the
train and threats Of lynching were made,
but squad of police quieted any demonstra-
tons in that direction.

were saved. Four or five hundred bundles
OF fodder and few bushels of corn in the
loft was burned, with the building: The
fodder in the loft was on Ere first, and, as

A meeting commenced at the Presby ter ian

well known fact now that tho cotton crop
will be very short. 1t will soon be all open

HIS Nor AS"Porn- Governor Tillman
has gone 70 the st. Louis bi-metallic, or, ~
it is more generally termed, Populist con-
vention. lie left yesterdsy and will arrive
In St. Louis this evening. The Governor
will be, from present indications, about the
only man TO represent South Caroline in that
convention, who is of tho Same way Of think
ing with those who issued the convention,
lie appointed twenty delegates, but they
did not 60. Whether it Was because they
could not or would not, remsins to be seeR6|
One man alone accompanied the Govern>
TO the convention, but he Is OF the opposif1|
way of thinking from Governor
The Governor appointed Dr.. w. T. G.
the State Treasurer, delegate and he H.
DR.. Bates before consenting to 60, called on
the Governor at his Office and frankly told
the chief executive that he was not follow.
ing in his footsteps on the financial situation.
DR.. Bates was seen before he left the city
and asked about the matter and he said:
'In case l attend the st. Louis convention
I expect to do what l can to advance the
business interests Of the South. through o
commercial union with the West. DO not
expect to take any active part in the politi-
cal features of the convention"
Then DR.. Bates went on to talk about the
financial question, and remarked: al am
in favor of the immediate repeal of the pur-
chasing clause OF the Sherman law. I be.
lieve in this emergency that such course
would do the greatest amount Of good to the
greatest Dumber, and on that. account
favor speedy action, and then the financial
question in its entirety can come up on its
merits"
al believe that it is incumbent on the
Democratic party to carry out its policy as
expressed in the Chicago platforu and If it
does not there will be q reckoning
"Tbe free coinage Of silver will not give
the relief that its friends expect, nor do the
harm that its enemies predict. The silver
question i, only one factor in the financial
problem. am in favor of ti-metalism, and
hope that the Democratic party will carry
out its pledges In regard to god and silver"
As will be seen from the above DR.. Bates,
although he attends the convention as
delegate, only goes to look after the financial
interests Of the country as he sees it, aud
when that feature of the convention is dis
posed Of he will retire aud decline to fol-
low the lead Of Governor Tillman in the
matter of the formation of the proposed
new Populst party.

Our Merchants.

Oar Merchants.
We wish to call the special attention Of
our readers this week to our advertising
| columns, which they see that notwithstand-
ing the hard times and the scarcity OF
| money, our merchants have laid in full
stocks Of goods to meet the demand Of all
classes Of their patrons who must be clothed
ard fed
Economy is essential this year, owing to
the short crop and low price Of cotton, aud
we advise practical economy in the purchase
of the necessities of life, which by the order
of things, must come through the mercsn-
| tile chsnnel whether wholesale or retail, it
makes no difference.
But we have often thought of tho great
injustice done the retail dealers by cOnsum-
ers sending off and ordering goods direct
from merchants in other towns, when they
can get the same article as cheap here.
1t is certainly unfair, for in several in
stances we have known it TO be fact, that
the money thus sent off, came directly or
indirectly from a retail dealer, who had the
very same goods on his shelves and could
have furnished them as cheap, and after the
cost of carriage was paid, the consumer
saved little or nothing, and sent moucy out
of the town that might have been circulated
| at houe.
[ sElslgss;. nothins eelealated 10 build .up
town more than home people sticking to-
home reople
! We will be candid in saying, that we be-
lievc that the practice of showing prefer
ence for other places even among our own
people has had more to do with retarding
the progressing of Union, than anything g
else
If the money that has been sent off in the
past, and invested in enterprises, to boom
other places had been kept at home, Union
would today have been in q more prosper
Gus condition, and the people would have
enjoyed seeing the town prospecting, instead
Of knocking around their safes worthless
certificates of stock in some dead towns with
a mushroom boom.
VIC think our prospects are as fine now
as any town in the State, and all it needs is
push and pulling together aud one way to
accomplish this is by every citizen who has
any interest in tAe town, to spend what he
hns to spent right here with our own Inc,
chants and mechanics.
We often hear of our citizens going to
Spartanburg, Chester, Laurens and New
berry to make purchases, but do you ever
hear Of any one from either of those places
coming here to spend their money for any.
