work in New York. The New York Sun
was attracted by the sharp, clear style
Of descriptive writing and sent her 20
Europe. She took Clarence with her and
when Wichita people heard that the lit
tie beauty had crossed the ocean they
began TO think of counts, lords and
dukes. 1t was quite apparent to all OF
them that she would never return single.

To be brief. Miss Clarence was married
In London ten days ago. The announce
ment was received yesterday by her
brcthe Bob who is with the passen-
ger department Of the Missouri Pacific
railway in this city. She married neither
a count, lord nor a duke, but she mar

every county in the world. The house

the nations capital, where Mrs. Norris
spent most of her life before coming to
Wichita dozen years ago or 50.
Mr. Norris and his bride and mother

prove true, Columbia in the
course of time will have another
oil mill plant in addition to the
two now here. The Virginia
company has already decided to
erect a 5000, 600 plant in Charles

mill in Darlington, and it will

Business on Large
Scale.
Special to Greenville News.

Columbia, S G., June 29.-The
Circuit court today was engaged
all day with the case against Mrs
Belle Graddick, charged with
poisoning her husband. The evi>
dence was revolving and showed
the lowest ideas of morality.
Mrs Graddick swore that she
did not give her husband the
arsenic which was found in guam
titles in the dead mans stomach.
The defense insinuated that Daw
kins, who lived with the Grad
dicks, and who slept in the same
room with them, as admitted, ad
ministered the poison. At all
events the jury acquitted Mrs
Graddick.
The evidence was absolute that
Graddick had been poisoned, but
the Jury evidently did not think
the wife had done 50 or else they
were disposed to pass il over in
view of extenuating circumstances,
and that Graddick allowed Daw-
kins to sleep in their bedroom.
The steady rain keeps up here.

Company is going into the cotton
oil business on a large scale, and
this creates opposition to the cot

but it is thought that eventually
it will establish oil mills in all

First Case of Attempted Assault
Reported in Charleston.
The Negro Arrested
and Confessed.
Special to The State.

Special to The State.
Charleston, June. 80.
j Howard, colored, was commit,
ted to Jail today for atte npting to
rape Elizabeth Rourke, the 10
year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs
ii ID Rourkc. The child was
alone playing IN the kitchen in the
rear of the house yesterday when
the negro entered and seized her
by the throat. He forced the
little girl to the floor and was at
tempting to accomplish his pur-
pose, when the child's cries
brought her mother to the kitcb.
en- and the negro escaped. The
case was Immediately reported to
the police station and the detect
ives began work and succeeded in
running down and arr esting the
negro. The iend was identified
by the girl and her parents. He
admitted his guilt and said that he
was glad that the act had been
committed here instead of in the
country, for he would probably
have been lynched for his attempt
outside of Charleston.
This is the first attempt to rape
a white girl reported in Charles
ton in many years. Negroes are
insolent and give much trouble,
but Charleston has been fortunate
In the respect of being free of the
terrible crime. The negro has
been committed to Jail without
bail and the case will be actively
pushed against him and an ex-
ample made of him.

The State, 3Oth.
Unless there is some unexpect>
ed hitch somewhere the work on
the State house should be under
way by the middle of August at
least. That is the present pros
pect.
Yesterday afternoon the State
house commission held an import
ant meeting at the office of the
secretary of State. Architect
Milburn presented the entire set
of working plans and blue prints
for the work. They were found
to be most satisfactory and we're
approved at once.
The commission found that the
architect had as promised held the
entire cost within the appropria-
tion of$165, 600.
a special committee consisting
OF Messrs CAN'T, Mower and Bel
linger was appointed to draw up
the proper advertisement notice
inviting contractors to present
bids on the work.
1t is thus safe to say that the
work will begin not later than
August /. Architect Milburn
believes that the building can be
completed within year from the
date of the commencement of the
Work.
