Awful Crime In GreenviIIe.

Greenville, September IA four
year-old negro girl was criminally as
saulted last night in the woods adjoin-
ing Furman University campus in the
heart of the city. The child is in a
critical condition.
Bob Gunnels, white man, 35 years
old, has been arrested charged with the
crime. 1t is claimed that unmistakable
evidence has been found which points to
him as the perpetrator of the deed. =;
Threats of lynching among whites and
blacks were made. Gunnels has been
taken to a nearby town for safekeeping.
The criminal court meets Monday and
the case will probably be the first one on
docket.
The crime is one of tho most revolving
in the history of Greenville county and
the people were wrought up. The man
under arrest probably owes his life to tho
officers who spirited him away before the
news of the crime had been made known.
Just whore the man is now being held is
not made knG@n.

AS TO THE vAGRANcY LAW.

The attention of the town authorities
Is respectfully directed to the numbe,
of men and boys who loaf on the streets
of Walhalla day after day and are neve,
seen working. Last week gentleman
sought diligently for few hands to
work in his field for day or two. He
approached numbers of these darkies on
the streets, but Is cents q day was nc
inducement FOR them to go to work.
They preferred to loaf and get living
by some other means. This condition
prevails, of course, principally among
the colored population, yet there are
cases whero it is noticeable among the
whites. Regardless of color, this loafine
business should be broken up. The
yagranoy section of the Town Ordinances
is explicit and should be enforced. II
If ~ follows:
SECTION 10. That any person found
loaiilg ON the streets of Walhalla, hav.
ing no visible means of earning an hon.
est livelihood, shall be deemed vagrant
According to this section vagraut is
person loafing on the streets, shaving
no visible means Of earning an honest
words "having no visible means of sup.
port" which might be technically con.
strued to mean that portion of the anat-
omy which forms conjunction with
we'll curbs, steps and other convenient
resting places about town or the stores
and fences against which the vagrants
are seen to lean for support for hours at
uio o. &c
and visible means of earning an honest
livelihood" while Synonymous terms,
are susceptible of very different con
struction, and it is we'll that Walhalla
has incorporated in her Ordinances the
latter mode of expressing herself on the
vagrancy question.
Let the law be enforced. If the ones
who clearly come under its operation
cannot find something to do, the town
authorities should look them up job OF
two on the streets. 1t would be mani
festly to the towns interest to have
these loafers in the streets with picks
and shovels instead of on the sidewalks,
with nothing better to do than inconven-
fence those who have business to attend
w a'u w hoO Wloh W Dc dunOycu Uy
seeking out a path through gang of
do-nothings.
1t is certain proposition that none
of the violators of this section are capi-
talists; therefore, if they do not work
for living, from whence does it Gomez
According to the view Of the average
loafing citizen, the two lines of the old
coon song explain both the reason why
he doesn't work and where his living
comes from, for, as he reasons,
"Whats the use fer to work so hard?
Use got oman in dc white folks yard"
If this doesn't explain the "whence" of
his living, there is still another PROPOSE
tion in reserve, and that is that on Sun
days, out in the by-ways and hedges, the
do-nothings are shooting craps or shut
fling cards at the expense of some of
their more Industrious friends, who work
all week and try to win at craps or cards
on Sunday. This loafiug business is one
that should be stopped, even though it
carried no side lines, such as gambling
and 'lifting." AS compound PROPOSE
tion, however, it needs the application
Of prompt and drastic measures, with no
relaxation until the practice is squelchcd
thoroughly.

The SaiIOris wedding.

Max Adler, as Charles Heber Clark,
the humorous writer, likes to be called,
once told at a dinner of the Manufac-
turers' Club of Philadelphia a story
apropos of the tariff, says an ex-
change.
Mr.. Clark has strong views on the
tariff. In his speech he condemned the
advocates of certain half way meas
ures, opposed to his views, as follows:
"These people remind me of sailor
who took his sweetheart to church and
asked the minister to marry them.
'"The minister would have married
them readily enough, only the man
was half drunk, and even the woman,
it was evident, had been drinking. Be-
sides they admitted they had only
known each other two days.
" oh, can't marry you,' the minis
ter said. Then, to give an inoffensive
reason for his refusal, he asked:
" Have you got a guinea?'
" No, indeed, said the sailor, nor
nothing like it.
." Then to marry you is out of the
question, for you haven't enough
money to pay me- said the other.
THE sailor took out a quarter and
squeezed it, with wink, into the
minister's hand.
" Just marry us as far as that'n go,
boss he said.
