SCHOOL GIRL
ASSAULTED.
A Negro Tried to Drag
SaIIie Parsons into
the Woods.
THREATENED TO KILL
IL She Refused to Go With Him.
He * Now i'm Jail.

Sallie +. Parsons, thirteen year old
school girl. the daughter of George
! William Parsons, well-known farmer
! living near Conner'S Church was as
Saulted on her way home from "Frankln
School" along woods road shortly
after four o'clock Tuesday afternoon. by
Major Brattcn a. Il year old colored boy,
who grabbed her around the neck and
made an indecent proposal To her. She
fought the negro boy and got away
! from him several times. but he threat
ened to kill herif she did not accompany
him into the woods
Sallie was going home from school
alone. along the county road and was
about half a mile from the school
house when Bratten assaulted her.
After the struggle had lasted several
minutes Bratten heard the "crack of
a transfers whip and let 20 his hold
upon the frightened girl and ran off.
The team was that of William Davis
and Captain Hudson. They were moy-
ing the Captains goods from near
Girdletree to Box Iron. They did not
see the colored boy in the woods but he
saw them and made good his escape.
When they drove past Salhc they
noticed that her hood was thrown back
and her hair was loose and falling III Il
dishevelcd condition around her should
crs. She did not look up or speak to
them. She hurried home to tell her
the colored boy i'll the woods. but her
father was not home. 50 she went to Il
nearby field and sought her oldest
brother. Samuel. She was trembling
in every limb and could hardly talk but
he caught the story all right and from
her description of the boy soon located
him at his uncle's where he lived. He
confronted the culprit with his sister
and she recognized him. Mr.. Parsons
came to town and consulted States
Attorney Jones, and a writ for the boy ;
arrest was Immediately issued and
placed i'll the hands of Constable h. w
Hearthway, who went at once in search
of Bratten. He found him still AT the
home of his uncle, George Collick. On
the way back to Snow Hill he confessed
his guilt although when first arrested
he denied any knowledge of the assault
In subsequent statement he sought to
incriminate two other colored boys who
he said We're older than himself and
who offered him fifty cents piece if he
would drag Sallie into the woods for
them. but this story is not believed. as
Bratten could not give the names Of
those he claimed hired him to make the
assault upon the little girl.
A hearing was had to-day before
Justice Carmean and Bratten was com
mitted for the action of the Grand Jury
of the May term of Court.
The arrest of Bratten was timely as
there is considerable excitement among
the neighbors of Mr. Parsons aud the
parents of the children who attend the
Franklin" school, and the placing Of
the boy in Snow Hill Jail has probably
prevented lynching. Snow Hill Jail
is one of the strongest i'll the whole
State. being modern structure with
steel cages and is proof against tn
assault of any mob

The Grip and Sulphur.

4 correspondent Of the Chicago News
say: In my papers of December 22d, /
find that there are supposed 10 he some
thing like 100. 900 cases of grip in New
York City, and that it is also prevailing
largely in Washington, Philadelphia
and other cities, and is now threatening
Boston. 1t is a fact that when it was
prevailing as an epidemic largely in our
city few years ago | ascertaincd, by
inquiry of the officers AT Byam's match
factory that of the ~ persons employed
there not one had been troubled by it.

duced by the combustion of coal in that

Ii seems to me IL duty, AT this time, To
again suggest as widely as possible that
sulphur is very cheap, and, whether it
destroys or keeps out germs OF disease
from the body or only acts upon the
Imagination, il cannot do much harm 10
