A negro woman and her kindred from Due
West came TO Abbeville one day last week
charging four white men with assault on her,
giving the most shameful details of the al
legged crime. Upon investigation the charges
were found to be false. The woman had an
ulterlor object in making the charges.
Since then one Jim Haddon, q negro eX-
convict from the same vicinity, has been
lodged In jail at Abbeville for assault on
twelve or thirteen year old girl Of his own
race.
For some time the tongues of the gossips
have been busy with rumors as TO short-com-
ings and evil deeds OF both white and colored
men who are prominent In church circles al
Aubeville. A good rule is, not TO believe evil
until IL is proven.
