ceived as the result of an engine on

taken to the Supreme Court of The
state and while this was pending

Addie Evans, 30 years old was
shot and instantly killed by Mrs.

saw her husband 'alklng along the
highway in conv .rsatlon with her
supposed rival she became so an
gered that she procured q rifle and
went after Miss Evans and killed
her.
Mrs. Davis fired so quickly that
Miss Evans had no chance to es-
cape. The bullet entered just un-
der the right arm and death epsued
instantaneously. Mrs. Davis, after
the deed. secured more ammuni-
ton and was soon III hiding in the

A MURDEROUS ATTACK,
Unknown Man With Heavy Stick Strikes
Couple In Druid Park,

Unknown Man with Heavy Stick Strike,
a Couple In Druid Park.
Augusta. Ga, Special. 1.-Two
patients We're treated by DIR. A. b.
McNaughton Wednesday who were
lnjuEed in mysterious manner.
They were j. Il. Taylor and Miss
Carrie Glaze.
Tho young lady is the nieco of
Mrs. Augustine and lives with her
aunt on Moore avenue. She and
the young man were out taking a
walk in Druid park, a wood near
the old exposition building. Here
they ware suddenly attacked by q
man witha' heavy stick nwyhos Selled
Mr.. Taylor with his first blS~aand
then beat his face almost into a
jelly, also striking the young lady
several times, fracturing her arm
and inficting severe bruises on the
body.
In this condition the couple
made their way to DR.. McNaugh-
tons Office on Walton way, near
by, where their injuries were at
tonded' to and from whence they
were sent home. Mr.. Tsylor's g
wounds were very serious, there
being number of ugly gashes on
his head.
The most peculiar part about
this murderous assault is that the
victims didn't know who attacked
them. The young man says they
were sitting On log when ho was
suddenly struck down without
more than barely catching a
glimpse of his assailant, who he
thinks was negro. The first blow
rendered him unconscious.
Miss Glaze also is unable to tell
who struck her, having seen no.
body until her companion was
struck down, and remembering no
more after that. She thinks,
showever, that their assailant was q
white man.
The news of the assault soon
spread, and quite large number
of men went out to the wood, with
out discovering any clue. City
Detectives Howard and Williams
also worked on the case, without
any better success.

went prepared for any emergency.
The raid was altogether successful
as Che results show.

"Chicola Farm and Nurseries,
is the name of a new enterprise to
be established near Central by
Oscar M. Watson of Clemson Col
lege. - l., y~
Mr.. Watson spent the day in
Greenvllle Friday and talked very
interestingly about his plans and
the prospects for such an enter
prise. - ..
AS is generally Known there is
no stock farm and nursery in this
section of the State, and it is be-
lIeVed that the time is now oppor-
tune for the establishment of such.
Mr.. Watson, who IS a native of
the peach section of South Caro-.
lima, his father, Col. r. B. Watt
son, of Ridge Springs having boon
the pioneer peach raiser in the
State, says he believes the Pied
mont section of South Carolina is
equally as adaptable to raising
peaches as the counties in tho
lower portion of the State. IL
Saluda county, for INSTANCE, hun.
dreds and hundreds of acres are
devoted to peach farms. In fact,
the peach crop is the leading crop
in that and several adjoining
counties.
Mr.. Watson says the climate of
this section together with the char
acter of the lands is we'll adapted
to peach raising, and he sees no
reason why the crop cannot be
made success in upper South
Carolina as we'll as in the lower
portion.
Mr.. Watson's farm is located on
the Air Line division Of the South
ern railroad between Clemson COL
lege and Central. He has already
planted number Of trees and also
has q number of buds planted

On last Tuesday, Mr.. Suraskys
loaded his wagon with his packs
and started on his rounds. Aas

have stopped at Green's houseSto

that the two men carried out theirS

Surasky was shot twice in the
back with gun, one arm was all
most severed from his body,Nand
his head and body were hacked
horribly with an axe. When the
body was discoved it was impossi-

a human being in the face, as de-
