Girl Ravished Near Tryon.

Spartanburg, Feb. 9.-Yester-
day morning about 10 O'Clock h
negro man outraged u Young
white girl named Nellie Carlisle,
who lives about two miles fron
Tryon, N. G.. The deed was
committed in woodland some
distance from the unfortunate
young woman S home. The negro
also inflicted several large, ugly
wounds on bis victims head with
rocks, and left her apparently
dead. When discovered several
hours afterwards, the girl was
carried to her home, where she is
in a most critical condition.
Iryon is greatly exercised over
the deed and if the people catch
the cuIprit, he will be strung up
without ceremony. Nellie Car
Isle is 1S years of age, and her
parents are honest hardworkino
people who live near Tryon. A
telephone message from that place
received this afternoon states that
it is extremely doubtful if the

 T did not give out any interview on German while in Washington. and if I talked to newspaper man on that sub ject. did not know 1t. did say most distinctly several times in general con- versation at different places that was for German. Some newspaper man no doubt heard me say that and putting 1t into his own words. made 1t appear that I was speaking for Alabama.
 T don't think this Is any more than some mans impression af what l said. l was not asked for any interview on the subject and gave out none. don't carry any Alabama vote but my own, and in this instance I expressed my own choice and shall always do so. There are other for German. I recall that Senators Bailey and Culberson have both expressed like choice of German.
 T have been chosen to speak for part of Alabama at certain times, but l have not been commissioned to give it's elec- toral vote to any candidate and have not done so. My personal preference Is for
