EXECUTION OF A BRUTE.
Legal Execution OF Fiend for Re-
.volting Crime.

George Williams. the Jefferson
county negro who waylaid and crimi-
naly assaulted Laura Knade near
Harpar's Ferry, w. Va, several weeks
ago, was hanged at the State prison In
Moundsville Friday evening at 3 10
o'clock. Eleven minutes later life was
pronounced extinct and the body was
cut down and pr spared for burial In
the prison cemetery. Williams never
lost his nerve and went to the scaffold
without whimper, declaring to the
last his innocence. The crime was per-
haps the most revolving in the crimi-
nal annals Of the State. Laura Knade,
a beautiful white girl whose family Is
one OF the most prominent In the east
ern Panhandle, LETT her home on
bright July morning driving to Har-
per's Ferry to board a train for the
worlds fair. On the way Williams
waylaid the girl and committed the
assault. The crime aroused the coun-
trlside to man and when the negro
was captured public excitement be-
came SO great that the prisoner was
taken over the border into Maryland.
The excitement was allayed seeming
ly and Williams was taken to Charles
town jail but again m0bs formed and
the prisoner was hurriedly taken to
Moundsville penitentiary to await
trial. Coy. White called out the ma
tional guard and under its protection
Williams was taken back to Charles
town and tie trial held under military
protection. The night before the trial
the excitement eliminated In the for
nation OF the largest mob of all and
assaults were made on the jail but the
militia, under Col. Sims, succeeded In
overawing the citizens and then fol-
lowed the trial which speedily resulted
in verdict OF guilty and the sentence
to hang at Moundsville September 8.

THE HARVEST SEASON.
The Weekly Report on the Crop and
Weather Conditions.

Section Director Baurer issued his
weekly crop bulletin as fololwS:
The week ending s a. m., Sept.
oth, had mean temperature Of 79
degrees, which is about one degree
above normal. The temperature was
very uniform throughout the week.
The extremes were Il mini mum of 81
at Greenville on August 30th, and a
maximum OF "a at Blackville on the
3rd. The sunshine was slightly above
the normal amount, and the relative
humidity was slightly below There
were no violent winds or any hall
storms during the week.
The precipitation averaged less
than the weekly normal amount, al
though in the northwest counties and
in the middle Savannah valley coun-
ties there were excessive rains locally,
over qlite large areas. a number Of
places had no rain until the 18th, when
generally showery conditions prevailed
over the entire State What rain fell
during the week was generally bcne-
fetal.
The moderately high temperatures

were favorable and teamwork made
rapid progress.
Fodder pulling is under way and
nearing completion in the western
counties, and is ciically finished in
the eastern ones. The bulk OF the
corn crop has matured and 1t is Il uni
formly large crop.
Ga sandy lands cotton has stopped
growing and generally slapped fruit
ing; it is opening fast with picking
general over the eastern and central
counties, while picking has just be-
gun in the western counties where the
crop is from one to three weeks late.
Rust, shedding and blight continue
to cause deterioration on light lands,
and rust has appeared on some clay
lands and on sea island cotton. Boil
worms and caterpillars have appeared
in a few fields, but are not yet threa-
tcning. Sea island cotton is heavily
fruited and is still blooming freely.
The weather was ideal for cutting
rice, and much Of the early planted
crop has been harvested; late rice is
very promising; rice birds have ap-
peared on a few coast fields. Consld-
erable hay was cut AMI cured In Inc
condition. Peas are fruiting heavily
recently. Nearly all reports indicate
a continuous promising condition OF
all minor crops and fall truck.

THE GUATEMALAN ANT.
Will Feed on All Kinds of Bugs and
Other Insects.

A dispatch from Washington says
colonies Of Guatemalas insect eating
ants, which are now devouring the
cotton boil weevil, are to be located in
other parts OF the United States and
several are already at work dining
upon potato bugs, grasshoppers and
other things on the crop around Lam
ham, Maryland. The department of
agriculture has come to the conclusion
that il the ant will eat boil weevils, he
may be taught to destroy the pests
that cause hundreds of thousands
OF dollars loss to other crops, and the
bureau of entomology Of the depart
ment is now experimenting along
these Zines. The experiments are in
charge OF O. Il. Cooke, chief ento-
moligist who is acting head Of the
bureau during the absence of DR..
Howard. The ants are OF the same
lot which was imported for use in
Texas.
They came in cages, and were fed
upon various kinds OF bugs on their
way north for the purpose of deter
mining which they liked best and
which suited their digestion. The first
lot reached Maryland about a week
ago, and since then field experiments
have been made with them. 1t is as
l. yet too early to decide whether they
will prove Of use in the northern
fields. 1t is feared that they will not
be able to stand the cold weather In
regard to the reports that several OF
the large colonies have disappeared
from the Texas fields, MIR. Cooke said
this morning that the dispatch we're
twisted.
There was colony in the back
yard Of house in Paris, Texas said
! he, that did not seem to be able to
get the right kind of food; they died.
The others, those in the cotton fields
are thriving and it begins to look as
though the experiments will be sue
cess, the ants living and propagating
as we'll In Texas as they do in Guate-
mala. The department. of agricul-
ture is giving much study to the ques-
tion OF the destruction of insects,
which are running crops in various
parts Of the country. The loss has
been growing slowly but surely for a
decade because, it is said, OF the
slaughter of insect eating birds. 1t
seems surprising but experts make the
Statement, that insects destroyed an
nually nearly 500 000,0 900 In crops.
And, " concluded an officer of the de-
partment, If the ant can save eve, :.
quarter OF this, he is well worth his
hire "

TERa1BIH SLAUGHTER.
Seven Hundred Japanes Blown UP
by the Russians.

A dispatch from Che:oo says q Jap.
anese column numbering approximate.
ly 700 men while marching along at
night on road in the valley between
Long hill and Division hill met
frightful disaster through the explo.
sion OF an electric land mine, Sept.
1st.
The mine was carefully laid by the
Russians three weeks ago. 1t covered
nearly mile Of available marching
space. The explosive was placed at
the bottom. Rock were placed next
and on top of these clay were paced so
carefully the ground gave the i'm
preston of not having been disturbed.
The indications OF Japanese activity
in this Vicinity put the Russians on
guard. Near midnight the outposts
rushed In and reported that the Japa-
pese were approaching.
The Russians withheld their fire for
some time. Suddenly they threw a
searchlight up the valley. The Japa.
nese opened with rifle fire. The Rus
SLAMS waited until apparently the
whole Japanese column was In the
danger zone. Then the mine was ex-
ploded. The force of the explosion
knocked a number of Russians down,
and the sight of japanese rifles, water
bottles, legs and arms hurled through
the lighted space made by the search
light was an awful spectacle.
Some rocks landed inside the Rus
sian lines. There was one appalling
moment during which the garrison it.
self was stunned, ther deathlik
silence. The searchlight coldly light
ed up the road and hillsides strewn
with dead.
The following day the Russians
buried the dead, but owing to their
dismembered and mutilated condition
the russians we're unable to accurate
ly estimate the number OF killed. A
few japanese escaped, however.

night confirms the above to the extent
that he heard the report that many

NEGRO ATTEMPTED ASSAULT.
A Little White Girl Had Narrow F.s.
cape from the Fiend.

a dispatch from Brevard, N. c., to
The State says about half-past IL
O'Clock Tuesday a young negro at
tempted an assault on little l3-year-
old girl, the daughter Of a prominent
gentleman OF New Orleans, who is
spending the summer at boarding
house at Brevard with her uncle and
aunt.
The girl, who has an attractive face
and dark brown curls, was returning
to her boarding house, after getting
the morning mail, when she was ac-
costed by mulatto, apparently about
II years old, who insOlently said:
Shake hands with me-"
II won't" she cried, and attempted
to run in the opposite direction, when
he caught her by the throat and tried
to choke her, but she struggled and
screamed, which frightened the negro,
who ran Off, while her cries attracted
the attention OF some boys who we're
near the Brevard roller Touring mills.
When they found her near the mills
on the railroad track, she was weep
ing and running diStractedy, with
her throat bearing the imprints Of
the negros fingers, but fortunately
he had been unable to accomplish his
terrible purpose.
The child was brought to the Tran
sylvania lodge, where she was given
every attention, while the alarm was
given, and In a few moments dozens
OF armed, excited men were securing
every section Of the country. With.
In an hour young negro was captur-
ed, but when brought before the child
she said he was not the right person.
An hour afterwards another negro
was caught whose description tailed
In every particular with that first
given by the child, and she identified
him except as to his hands. He was
promptly committed to jail, and the
Judge who IS holding court here now
says he will be given an immediate
trial, If the posse now securing the
country do not bring in man who is
positively identified. The whole COM
munity Is greatly excited, but it is
thought thata lynching will be avert
ed.
1T Is expected that negro from
South Carolina working for a negro
farmer named Arthur Hemphill may,
be the assailant, and the road to South
Carolina will be strictly guarded.

Charleston Post, knows how a candi-
