of Georgfana.
 Georgiana. May 29.-<Special.)-An unknown negro attempted to commit a criminal assault on Miss Ada McMil- Ian. on the outskirts of Georgiana this afternoon.
 Miss McMillan was en route to her home in Duham and had just left Geor- giana when the negro stopped the horse she was driving and attempted to pull her from the vehicle. Her screams at- tracted the attention of a man who was nearby and the negro fled
 The news of the attempted assault spread rapidly, and soon the citizens were in search of theNblack brute, He made his way into a swamp, and 1t is believed that the posse has him sur rounded. In his flight he dropped his hat. and it was identified by Miss Me- Milan as the one worn by her assail- ant.
 The swamp is of such size that it is possible for personsto make good his concealment from human searchers, and dogs have been telegraphed for. They will arrive from Riverside at 7:3O tomorrow morning, and there is little doubt but the negro will be apprehended and that a lynching will follow.

The report of the grand jury at the
last term OF the district court has one
thing to commend it to the people
brevity. Bat in this case we believe
that the jury failed to do its duty to
the people. The county is now in the
worst stage of financial destitution and
the blame for this state Of affairs
should be placed where it belopgs-in
the board of supervisors. This board
has been and will be dominated by "A
man who has only his own petty spite
to satisfy. and in carrying out this one
idea is willing to sacrifice the interest
of the people. This man, if the people
are not aware of the fact, l. the present
chairman of the board. When the rail.
road company offered to pay taxes to
the amount of over nine thousand dol
lars he steadfastly refused to accept it
and does now refuse, although admit
ting that no collection could be had by
law. The payment of this money
would save a great deal of money year
ly in the way of interest and at the
same time give better market to the
holders of county warrants. But does
anyone think that the chairman of the
board cares whether the county gov
eminent survives his administration or
noe? Not by any means. He stands
in the position that Grover Cleveland
did few years ago-want~ 10 be the
head of the lost cause, the last man in
Office in the bankrupt county. He
claims that he is looking after the in
tere>ts of the county aud at the same
time is depicting the treasury by over
drawing his salary hundreds of dollars.
This is the class Of man the people OF
the county has to deal with, and when
they take the reins in their own hands
they should not be too leuient This
man should aud must be made to pay
back TO the county the amount OF his
oveldraft and at the same time should
be ou>ted from office. He is a danger
Gus man in the office he holds, because
at any moment he may plunge the
county into ruinous litigation. II is
this class of business that the grand
jury onght to look into and it il one CT
their duties. OF course the manner OF
its drawing made it a matter Of impos.
sibiliiy for it tc go fully into the af.
fairs Of county government bot at the
next term of the court the matter
should be fully exploited aud the light
