A TERRIBLE FIGHT.
A Mad Cat Siezes a Girls An.
kle, but is Finally Killed,
Patient Will go to New
York for Treatment.

A wild night and terrible
scene was that enacted at the
home Of Alma Simpson, on FRI
day night.
1t seems that Miss Simpson,
who is young girl employed
at the klermont Knitting Mills,
IN this city, arose during the
night and wanting drink of
water, went down stairs to get
one. In the darkness, the girl
accidently stepped upon the
house cat, which became en-
ragged. and siezcd the girl by the
ankle, sinking its teeth deep
into the flesh.
The girls screams aroused her
mother who came to the rescue,
and attempted to pry he cats
mouth open SO as to release the
girl from the animals teeth.
This proved impossible, and it
was only after the mother had
secured a stone and beaten the
cats head SO that it was killed,
that the girl was released.
DR.. X S. Primrose was sent
for and rendered all assistance
possible in the girls case.
Saturday it was determined
that Miss Simpson ought to be
sent to Pasteur Institute, New
York, for treatment, and a purse
was made up here to meet all ex-
penses.
Monday morning the girl will
start for New York city, and her
case will receive the most care
full and thorough treatment.
The spinal cord of the cat has
been secured, and it will be sent
to New York for examination, to
see what was the condition of
the animal at the time it attack,

LAWYERS STAND BY LYNCH
LAW.
Noted Members of Georgia's Bar
Think it a Necessity.

At the meeting of the Geor~
gia Bar Association, recently
held at Warm Springs, Ga. with
Chief Justice Baldwin, of Cons
nectiCut, all interested listener, a
sharp debate sprang up, in which
five of the leading lawyers Of
the State declared the necessity
for lynch law.
In an impassioned speech Hal
T. Lewis, who placed Mr..
Bryan's name before the Chicago
convention, declared II h G
criminal is lynched because his
victim should not be subjected
to the further humiliation of de-
failing a crime which she can
hardly whisper to her husband
or breathe to her parents. He
is lynched because ofthe convic-
tion in the public mind that this
is the most effectual way of pres
venting a repetition of the Of
fence. To attempt a correction
Of such sentiments by statutes
would prove as futile as any ef>
fort to overcome the fury of the
cyclone or prevent the lightning
flashes from the storm cloud"
l.. w. Thomas pictured the
farmer returning from his days
work to find his home despoiled.
"Lynching Of the wretch fol-
lows, and" said he "wc must ad-
NIT under our new civilization
we are faced with a condition
and not theory"
,Dul lOlJ oiIIAIJ DlOlISI VI lllS
ex-Secretary of til G Interior
Hoke Smith, said:
The Anglo-Saxon has always
protected women without the
aid of law courts, and as long as
Anglo Saxon blood flows in Am
erican veins, whether in Georgia
or Massachusetts, Alabama or
Ohio, assailants Of women will
find a short, swift and ready
rope"
N. J. Hammond, formerly
member o. Congress from Geor>
gia, denounced t h c effort to
"convert the Bar Association

A BLACK BRUTE
Assaults Young lady in Greens
boro Sunday.
SAVED BY RESISTENCE.
The fiend Recognized and lodged
In Jail.

Last Sunday Greensboro
N c., was profoundly stir
red by an attempted assault
by brutal negro upon a highly
respectable white young lady,
whose parents live near the
Southern Finishing mill. AS
she was returning from church
about noon, a negro, named
Luke Richardson, stepped out
ct the bushes and come up be-
hind her. She stepped aside to
let him pass, but instead of do
ing so he caught hold of her and
attempted to stilfle her by chok
ing her. BY study resistance and
loud outcries she succeeded III
frightening him off. It occurred
on North Elm street, within 200
yards of H. W. Wharton's resi-
dence.
AS soon as it became known
the woods were full of men hunt>
ing for the black fend, ana if
they had taken him his exit from
this world would have been
speedy. The young lady des-
cribed the negro so accurately
that the police found him in the
celebrated Meadow" within a
few hours after the occurrence.
The police fearing he would
be lynched, if taken out to Mr..
Syfert's, sent for her and her
father, Mr.. Syfert. She at once
pointed out her assailant among
a number of other negroes of
similar appearance present. He
is in jail. Threats Of lynching
are heard on every side, but the
authorities will make every effort
to prevent it.
Richardson is a hard case and
was recently released from the
county roads.
LATER: R:--Luke Richardson,
the negro who attempted to
make an assault upon Miss
Scifert, in Greensboro. Sunday
was taken to Winston
for safekeeping. There was
some talk of lynching i'll Green's
boro and the sheriff deemed it
to take him away.
Richardson is about 40 years old
and has a wife. He is Of medium
size. He denies the charge
against him, but at the trial be-
fore the Mayor in Greensboro he
failed to prove where he was
when the attempted assault was
made. Miss Seifert, who is IS
years old and quite pretty, is
that Richardson is the
guilty party.

THEY SNAPPED WIVES.
Story of Peculiar Transaction
Of Two Mountaineers

a rather unique and startling
state of affairs was revealed in a
case i'll court in Mitchell county,
NJ, c., recently. Some parties
were arraigned on a charge of
fornication and adultery, and it
turned out that while in a sense
they may have been guilty, i'll
another they were innocent, The
evidence showed that merely the
trading liberty of the mountains
had been exercised, and that the
parties involved had considered
it a matter of no consequence to
the public Thomas Lowe. who
was one Of the lawyers III the
case, related the story to Brls>
tol gentleman, stating that it
was true as the plain evidence
of the parties involved could
make it.
1t appeared from the evidence
that one mountaineer had OF his
own free Will swapped his wife
and sever children to a neighbor
man of the mountains for his
wife, a musket and a moody bull
The parties to the deal were per
fectly sincere i'll what they did,
and entered upon life in new
relation without a thought Of
violating any law. The man
with the other fellows wife and
the muskct and the bull as his

The following is said to be a
sure destroyer of flies. 1t is cheap
and worth a trial. We give it
for what it is worth: Take a
tablespoonful of ground black
pepper and mix it with two
tablespoonfuls of brown sugar;
moistcn the compound with
milk and place where there are
rays of light. The flies will gen
orally be quickly attracted to it
and eat greedily. If they do it
will be their last meal, for the
mixture is poison to fly.

Greece PROSTATE.

Chivalrous and Christian Greece pros
trate at the feet Of the unspeakable
Turk is not spectacle for lovers OF
Christian liberty to contemplate with
Conplacency, more particularly as it is
believed that Greece entered the strug-
thing more than the sympathy of the
world--tlat it would have also the
active assistance of more than one ma
ton. In this latter expectation Greece
was disappointed; not only disappoint-
ed, but the powers by their action, in
measure, contributed to its defeat and
to the loss of province. Had Greece
had any idea that the powers would
have taken the course they did, and
knowing the strength of Turkey, it is
very probable the war would not have
taken place. 1t was not a question of
valor, of patriotism, for a Greek lacks
none of those attributes: it was ques
ton of numbers and military supplies,
in which they were overwhelmingly
outnumbered.
Turkeys demands, however, may not
meet with the support of the powers.
The sultan, always greedy and brutal,
may insist on peace terms AMI be indig-
nantly resented by the powers, and
cut OF the embers of the late struggle
may arise a contlagration the end of
which will be disastrous for the Turks
In any case, the fate of the Turkish en-
pire will not be one of expansion. The
willy sultan may stave off the dread
day of reckoning for a while, but it vii,
come as sure as he has triumphed over
Greece, in which day Of adversely and
justice he will find few svmpathisers
outside of his harem.
Greece PROSTATE should. and will. rise
again; its cause is just, and therefore
must triumph.

TYRANNY.

Mayor Starkweather has signed the
Union Label ordinance, it has been
published and it has become law, at
least so far as the city council can make
ii a law.
We are not obiectiEg so much to the
fact that we are prevented under this
ordinance from receiving any city print
ing, because, of late years, since the
daily newspapers of the state had a law
passed preventing weekly newspaper
from rendering for the publication of
laws and ordinances, TIE TIMES has
not resolved any city printing to speak
of, though we contribute more money
in taxes to the citv's revenue than all
the union printers in town put together
and owe not cent of taxes to-day.
We object to this ordinance because
it is conceived in spirit of injustice and
tyranny; because it runs counter OF the
instincts of all Just minded men, and
because the passage of such an ordin-
ance is an outrage and disgrace to our
city. We will next expect to be denied
city fire and police protection because
we do not choose to wear the yoke of the
printers Union. Indeed, We may have
to gO-though we hardly think SO just
now-to that all potent and mind
enslaving incu bator-on Bonded knees,
and most humbly beg for the priv ege
of-paying our taxes? Oh, no; We are
eheerfulv granted that-but the priv.
Iege of doing business, Of earning the
money with which to pay our taxes, in
fact, the privilege of living here. is
practically denied Us. If this unjust
concession to the printers union is
the price of Mr.. Starkweather cleo
ton the sooner he gOes-not to
Russia, because laws Of this character
are not allowed in that country; but
back to his farm, the better. He may
requirea COW to submit to being branded
before it can eat grass or drink water,
without the animal kicking, but we tell
him that we Will kick and keep on
kicking until we succeed in bringing him
and the printers union, and all other
tyrannical organizations in this city, to
sense of what is just and right, before
We have done with this matter, unless
the spirit of justice is dead within the
hearts of our citizens. We want no
class legislation. All we ask is far
held and no favors. We hate and We
loathe tyranny of whatever nature and
from whatever source.
1t is but Just to say that there was
fair minded enough to oppose the ord
nance referred to.
