will be promptly indicted and tiled
on Monday. The penalty for as
sault in Georgia is death, but where
the crime has only been attempted

tiary ofspce. There are some WHO
believe that the facts VIXEN revealed
fully to the grand jury by police

to the death penalty. The mans
attempt at assault, even if his crime
is no greater, is so peculiarly revolt

be intimated without exciting the

American Peace Commission Will
Weigh All Points Involved.

Paris, Nov. THE two peace COM
missions met this afternoon. The
Americans were aware before the
session that the Spaniards would
decline their proposals made on Mon
day to take the entire Philippines
and pay all debts actually incurred
by Spain for the benefit of the island.
A statement was printed here today
with much display to the effect that
the Americans would insist upon the
complete surrender CT SPANS SOW
ereignty in the event of her refusal
to accept the terms of the issued ul-
timatum. No ultimatum is contem-
plated, there is no probability Of dras
tic measures being taken by the
Americans. The Americans expect
to patiently weigh all the points in
volved and carefully consider the ar
guments of the Spaniards.

they have received from it, and know
it's value from the use Of it in my

BUTLER GIVES AID ALSO.
Special to the State.

Gaffeney, Nov. 2-Our people be-
ing close to North Carolina are much
interested in the fearful condition
the white people of that grand old
State, are ready to give them any
aid that emergencies may demand.
In fact we have already been help
ing them. Our talented and elo-
quent young townsman, COl. T. B.
Butler, in response to an invitation
from the leaders of the Democracy
in the old North State delivered an
address to the yeomanry of Clevc-
land county at Patterson's Springs a
few days ago, and, We learn, with
telling effect. He gave the South
Carolina notion of white supremacy
prominence, and it was absorbed by
white men determined to rule.
Col. Butler says that in Cleveland
county the conditions are not so bad,
local. y, for there the white people
rule. But that these Cleveland peo.
pie are straining every nerve, so as to
as much as possible relieve their
bretheren in the eastern part of the
State CJl. Butler describes the
conditions as fearful, such as white
people never have nor never will sub
nit to long.

DINGLEY AND TAWNEY.
Former Calls Attention to Provisions
Now In Force,

Washington, Feb. 2.-Mr. Dingley
called attention to the following pro-
vision now in force and applicable to
the present case of German prohibition
of American fruit:
Sec. 5.-That whenever the president
shall be satisfied that unjust discrimi-
nations are made by or under the au-
thority of any foreign state against
the importation to or sale in such for
eign state of any product of the United
States, he may direct that such pro-
duets of such foreign state so discrim-
mating against any product of the
United States as he may deem proper,
shall be excluded from importation to
the United States; in such case he shall
make proclamation of his direction in
the premises, and therein name the
time when such direction against i'm
portatiOn shall take effect, and after
such date the importation of the arti-
cles named in such proclamation shall
be unlawful. The president may, at
any time, revoke, modify, terminate or
renew any such direction as in his
opinion the public in this may require"
Representative Tawney, another
member of the ways and means COM
mittee, endorsed Chairman Dingley's
view, and said that if Germany began
such a course, it was a game in which
two could play.
It was said also that the result would
work serious results to German wines,
German hosiery. German shoddy and
many other lines of German goods
brought in great quantities to this
country.
