Aiken, February 13.--There was
considerable excitement in Aiken to-
day over the news of an outrageous
assault having been made upon Mrs.
Ella Weeks, the wife Of Mr.. G. L.
Weeks, who lives six or eight miles
northeast of this place, by young
negro named Will Burt. The as
sault was made about ! O'Clock yes
terday morning, while Mr.. Weeks
was off at mill, making some re-
pairs upon it. The negro caught
hold Of Mrs. Weeks, who fought and
resisted him and was able to keep
him from overpowering her. In the
struggle he choked her, pulled neai-
.lv all of her clothes off and cut a
cash across her throat with knife,
fortunately not very deep. Her
screams brought colored man, who
WAS working in field nearby, to her
rescue and on his approach Burt
fled.
The news of tho assault spread
rapidly and searching parties went
in pursuit, but up to this writing
they had not succeeded in catching
him, though two or three times they
got in shooting distance last night.
Mrs. Weeks is tho daughter of Mr..
j.. M. Seigler, u well-to.do farmer,
and is q most excellent lady. She is
woman of fine ply sique and owes
her escape to her strength. Her
wounds on tho neck, while painful,
arc not dangerous.

raj of his Senatorial associates have
in Il casual way mentioned the posi-
bility of his beiug selected as a mem
Der Of the commission, but the Pres
ident has made no formal tender of
the position to him. Senator Nc.
Laurin has no desire to retire from
the Senate. His present duties are
congenial, in line with the personal
ambition, and his present surround
ings are exceedingly agreeable. He
has no knowledge of the duties he
would be expected to perform rs a
member Of the commission, and with.
ont having been directly or Indirect
ly informed that the President de-
sired to perform such service he con.
sidered it indelicate to indulge in
any speculation as TO his probable
course at the present time. AS be-
lever in the wisdom of the expansion
policy of the Administration and an
advocate Of the construction of the
Nicarauga Canal by the United
States Government, il is fair to as
sumo that should the President ap-
peal to his patriotism he might be
induced to make certain personal
sacrifices to emphasize his fidelity to
the interests of his country. This is
the substance of Senator McLaurin's
reply to the numerous inquiries made
to him today by his brother Senators
and others interested in his political
welfare.
