A Fiendish Assault.

The town of Greeleyville was thrown
into excitement by the attempt of ne
gro named Grant keels to commit an as
sault on Mrs. GeSt, white woman about
80 years of age. The fiendish attempt
was made about two miles from Greeley
vile and was frustrated by the cries Of
the old lady, bringing to her rescue her
daughter and Mr. Bradshaw. The ne
gro had thrown his victim down, but,
hearing others approaching, ran off and
made good his escape. 1t will not do for
the scoundrel to be seen anywhere in
that section again.-Manning Times.
No news of this brutal assault had
reached kingstree from Greeleyville up
to to-day Saturday. We suppose, how
ever, the Manning Times published it on
good authority, and we believe that il
the scoundrel is caught short shrifl

CAPT. JOHN A SATERS.
Salters Monrns the Death ofh her Oldest
Citizen.

From the pulpit IN the Kings
tree Presbyterian church last Sun
day, Rev. Mr.. Dunlop read tele-
gram announcing the death Of
Capt. John a SaIters. While his
death was not unexpected. the ac-
tual tidings of it caused shock
to his friends here, and Sdddened
the hearts of all who knew him.
Capt. Salters was one Of the Oldest
men in the county, having lived
fourteen years beyond the allotted
span of three score and ten. He
was born near the village that
bears his name and has lived lhere
all his life. The record Of his life
is that of pure, good man revered
by all his acqnaintances, and be-
loved by those who knew him best.
When the war broke cut Capt.
Salters was among the first TO res
pond to his country'S call, and
during the four years strife did
gallant service. When the war
ended he returned to his planta-
ton, where be followed the occu-
patton of farming until his failing
health and advanced age preclud-
ed active exertion. He was of 2
deeply religious nature and at the
time of his death held the Office of
Elder in the Union Presbyterian
Church.
His funeral was solemnized at
Union Church on Monday morning
by lev. j K Dunlop after which
the remains were inferred in the
family burial ground near Salters.
The large crowd that assembled al
his funeral and mourned with his
bereaved family showed how deep.
ly the loss is deplored when a
good man dies.
