Attempted Murder.

A desperate attempt was made to
murder Mr.. Butler Hall, of Merritt's
Bridge, Aiken County. He tells the
story thus: Il left the home of MIR.
Morgan Fox about II o'clock on my
way home. About 800 yards away
some one concealed in fence corner
sprang out and grabbed me, at the
same time commencing to cut my
throat. He made many desperate ef.
forts to accomplish this, but | being q
strong man, kept him pushed off until
/ could get my pistol. placed the
pistol against my assaulter and fired.
He turned me loose and sprang for the
fence. AS he got over the fence he
came to halt. | continued shooting
at him and 1 got over the fence after
him and he then ran off for a few yards
and halted again. BY this time [
thought perhaps he might be trying to
get me III the woods to some of his
gang, so at once returned to the first
spot and called for help. He cut my
overcoat in five places, going to my
skin only one time My overcoat is
all that saved my life. "

An Attended Lynching.

Sam Riggs, colored, who lives nea,
Walterboro, says two men broke into
his house, cursed him and then would
have shot MIN, but another negro being
present and knocking up the gun, the
load took effect in the side OF the ellsOqse.
He said that several of his friends were
in the house with him at the time, and
that before the man could shoot again
one of them had seized the gun and
wrenched it from him; that the men
being thus disarmed, gave up the at
tenn pit and fled. Their. horse aud buggy
was tied nearby, but they were SO
closely pursued by the enraged
negroes that tE:sy didn't stop, but con-
tinued their flight through the woods.
The negroes, failing to oyertake their
would be lynchers, united the horse,
Jumped into the buggy, drove to Wal
terboro and turned them over to the
sheriff. Riggs says there were other
white men near, but does not know
who they were or how many.

Attempted Murder of an Aiken County Man
Sumter Cotton Mills-From the Jaws
of Death-Orangeburg Farmers Meet.

Mr.. E. Minis Pitts, of Sumter, met
with horrible and perhaps fatal ac-
cident in that town. He was standing
between two pulleys lacing belt, the
one on his right side was running.
His coat was caught by the belt and ne
was jerked down instantly, his right
arm being wound around the ruiiey
the instant he was caught and his
body whirled around by the rapidly
revolving wheel Fortunately his head
did not come i'll contact with anything,
bnt his left foot would come with an
irresistible and cruel force against one
of the joist with every turn of the
wheel. The engineer hearing the
heavy thuds and knowing something
was wrong. started to see what was the
matter.s AS soon as he realized that
someone had been caught by the pul.
ley, he threw himself against the belt
and knocked 1t off.
Willing hands went to work as quick
ly as possible to extricate the unfortu'
nate man, which took them some time,
as his clothing had to be cut from his
body, so tightly had he been held.
When he was taken out it was found
that his right arm was broken in two
places below the elbow and his left foot
beaten to shreds. So great was the
force with which his foot struck the
joist the timber was splintered as if il
had been done with an axe.
Drs. China and Mood were summon
ed and his arm was amputated near the
elbow and his leg below the knee.
Mr.. Pitts stood the amputation fairly
we'll, but his condition is extremely
critical and his life hangs by slender
thread.

At noon on October IS spanis

At noon on October IS Spanish
sovereignty in Porto Rico became o
memory and American sovereignty a
blessed reality, muses. the New York
Mail and Express. The fourth island
of the Antilles makes the transition
without regret for what is gone and
with confidence in the benefits of what
is to come. In the popular demon
strations of Joy at the termination Of
Spanish rule is found an eloquent AZ
raignment Of Spain, as we'll as apleas-
ing tribute to the reputation of the
United States among the downtrodden
of the earth. The victims OF Cas-
tilian barbarism in this tight little
island, which is destined to become
the gem of the southern sea under its
new ownership, have passed from
darkness into light. The Puerto
riqueno of the morning has become
the American of the afternoon, by the
furling of the red and yellow emblem
of oppression and the finging Of the
Stars and Stripes to the breeze.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION
IA TALK WITH MRS. pINHHAM.l


A woman with the blues is very .un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo--
men; results from diseased organs Of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determin will
overcome depressed spirits and nery-
ousness in women. These troubles are
indications of disease. -
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should wrfrs- Il
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinkham for. nsiy
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter: =
dear Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
a weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, wrote to you
for advice. After using the tTeatment
which you advised. for a short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
Il am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than
have had for the past ten years.

Hitherto the Government has offered
only partial guarantee for the Sc
curity of articles sent through the mail
as registered matter. If the respon-
sibility for the loss could be fixed and
an indemnity be collected, the loser
was reimbursed to that amount, but
the Postofice Department had no
funds of its own to draw upon for this
purpose. By an act of Congress $4,000
is now avail able to pay losses, but the
indemnity to be paid on any one piece
of registered mail must not exceed
, $40. Considering the business done,
the appropriation of $4,000 for years
losses seems a small sum. But as the
percentage of loss is low, and as the
yearly appropriation is evidently in
tended to meet only the losses which
might otherwise fall on comparatively
poor people, part of the $4,000 may be
covered into the Treasury at tha end
of the fiscal year. The total number
of registered pieces of mail last year
was II, $50, 0S3. OF these only 149
were lost on account of carelessness on
the part of postal employees; 1877 failed
of prompt delivery because Of dep
relations by men employed in the
postoffce; 227 losses were due to dep.
relations by outside parties, and S23
pieces were destroyed by fire in post
offices, wrecks OF railroad trains, post.
offices and steamboats,. As many Of
the postal employees held responsible
for registered mail are under bond, it
is an easy matter for the Government
to recover from them for losses charged
against them, and those who do not
- nish bonds will as a rule pay fol
the losses rather than be discharged
from the service, which is their only al
tentative. OF the losses last year re-
coyeries were made amounting to more
than seventy SIX per cent.

We are glad to note that London is
finally realizing that she is big enough
to know better. The British metrop-

ment methods, abandoning the old
fashioned equipment in favor of water
towers, chemical engines and hook

Anglo American alliance could not, in
time of peace, receive better demon

than in the adoption of Yankee de-
vices for the saving of life and prop

While three negroes were drilling at
the Hoffman quarry, near Columbia,
the drill of one struck an old unex'

an immediate explosion and a mass oi
debris was thrown up into the air. The
ether hands ut work expected to see
only small remains of their fellow
workmen, but to their surprise the men
emerged from the cloud of smoke and

verely shocked, and were sent home,

Nothing serious resulted from the e1-

? The introduction of water meters at
Covington, Ky, has had remarkable
results. Some eight years ago, when
the fixture assessment system was in
use, between 10000 and 5000, 900
gallons of water were used daily. At
present, when most of the water is
metered, and about 10000 more peo
pie are living in the city, only 2,60o,-
900 gallons are needed, and every one
has all the water he wants. These
figures are given on the authority of
Mr.. W. h. Glore, Superintendent of
the works.
