SATURDAY JUNE II. 1899,

We have received from a friend a
copy of letter written by one E. p.
Nicholson (white) to the Seattle,
(Wash.) Times in reference to the re-
cent barbarous Southern lynchings, in
which he sets UP the plea of justifica-
ton for the worse than inhuman mon
sters who perpetrated them, on the
ground that these extreme measures
are necessary to protect their women.
He uses some of the most "damphooT''
arguments and makes assertions In
strict keeping with his argument. For
instance, he says: Ever since the war
between the states, the south has oc-
casionally (?) lynched q Negro, and;
ALWAYS for the same crime against
their women. !" In view OF the fact that
not one out Of every twenty who are
lynched are guilty Of rape, he shows
that he is very ignorant In regard to-
the subject he would have the world
believe he is thoroughly posted upon.
One other thing, he like very; very
many others-mak es It patent that it
is not the simple despo ling Of female
virtue which makes crime so hein-I

Something Good Comes Out of This
Hotbed of Color Prejudice.

The incontrovertible evidence Of the
existence Of the damnable, inhuman
color prejudice in its most virulent
form has been furnished by the recent
riots in this city, the most prejudiced
in this state, the home Of the immor-
tai Lincoln. tits therefore with pro-
found pleasure the following facts are
published, for they show how sense

Thousands OF Women

arc dragging out weary, miserable
existence, because they do not fully roal
ize what is tho matter with them. They
know that they have "fomale weakness"
but they do not really appreciate what
that means. They do not know that
to this ono trouble is traceablc almost
all of their bodily ills. They consider it
disease by itself, and If they have also
neuralgia, norvo headaches, .biliousncss,
kidney trouble and other things, thoy
SEQ no connection between them and tho
arrangements of strictly female nature.
Busy and overworked physicians often
treat these things as separate ailments,
whom tho whole trouble has the ono
source. Tho reproductive organs are 80
important part of the body that when
they arc out of order, tho whole systom
is derangcd. Whatever illness q woman
has, sho will do vol to look thoro for
tho cause. A great many women know
ingly neglect themselves, because they
dread tho tolling Of thoir trublos to o
physician and tho subsequent "examina-

needless, for DIR. Pierco's Favorite Pres
cription has been found to perfectly and
permanently restore lost strength and

MRS. WILLIAMS IS ASSAULTED.
Negro Attacks and Outrages White Woman
Near GreenyiIle.

Greenvllo was astir on Saturday after
noon whom tho news camo that o foul
crimo had beoh committed only short
distance from tho city limits, and that n
respectable white woman wsS the victim
of ncgro's lust. Tho wife of Silas Will
liams, an industrious white farmer, liv-
ing near tho Anderson road, was brutally
assaulted betwoen 4 and 8 o'clock that
afternoon by negro dressed in uniform,
who suddenly appeared Mt tho door of
tho house whore Mrs. Williams was OIL
gagged in ironing. Sho was entirely alone
except her youngest child, who was
quietly sleeping when tho brutal negro
oamo on tho scene. Tho assault was
made in fow minutes, and tho woman
was lot helpless and prostrato for the
timo being. Tho negro had vanished as
wards Piedmont before tho alarm was
given in tho neighborhood.
Mr. Williams was only n short dis
tanco from homo whom tho assault on
mis- vito was made, and tho two oldor
ohildren wore with him. He was speed
lily informed as to tho outrage, and after
returning homo ho camo galloping to
to catch the villain who had despoiled
his humble homo. 1t did not require
much time for men to respond in mount
cd squads, aid tho road to Williams'a
house was soon thronged with riders
wt.o wero bent upon summary process
to avonge tho dastardly crime. The
neighbors for miles around camo to join
in the search for tho miscreant, and
some Of thom started afoot to catch him,
because he was still in sight whom the
alarm was given. This gave tho negro
an advantage, and before horses wore
procured ho had left the main road and
was pushing his way through tho woods.
Piedmont and Polzor wero notified, and
scouting parties were organized at both
places. Prompt efforts were made to
cut him of at tho crossings of Saluda
river, and search was instituted among
tho houses occupied by negroes fol
miles around. The negro was seen few
miles from tho place where the crime
was committed, but tho parties who mot
him did not then know about tho assault
1t is almost certain that tho assailant
of Mrs. Williams has mado good his
escape and tho latest nows in regard tC
Anderson and was making tracks fol
Georgia, which would be reached in q
fow hours. His clever evasion of the
various parties who joined in tho pur.
suit shows that he was not an ignorant
negro by any means, and it seems that
his escape was hardly possible when mon
were uniting in the chase from every
neighborhood. He is very black negro
five feet and half high, and weighs
about 140 pounds. He >will doubtless
got rid of tho uniform at the first oppor
tunity, and his identity will be com
pletoly lost, rs he il not unlike q thou
