Assaulted Last Saturday.

Last Saturday night while returning to
their homes from work a. the Walhalla
Cotton Mills, K. ID. Knox and young
man named Golden were assaulted in
the west end of town, across the street
from and about a block above the Luz
theran church. just as the two men
reached the vacant lot above j. 4. Hen
drix's residence three men sprang from
behind large tree. Young Golden was
struck on the forehead with stick and
fell unconscious. The attempt to strike
Knox failed and he warded off the blow
intended for him. The three men then
took to their heels and no clue has been
obtained as to who they were. Young
Golden was not seriously hurt, but had
a painful bruise. Policemen were soon
on the scene, and later dog put on the
trail, but the gathering of crowd and
confusion of tracks rendered it impossi-
BILE to follow the would-be thugs. The
theory is advanced that the three men
were negroes who were lying in wait for
negro against whom they had grudge
and that they mistook young Golden for
the party they wanted to disfigure.

A Birthday Surprise.

Rev. III. G. Grossman had the surprise
of his life on Monday evening 1t was
the anniversary of his birth day and he
feels as if he is the youngest man in
town. Friends from his own church,
from other churches, and visitors from
out of town, to the number of one hun
dred, greeted the parson with we'll
wishes for many happy returns of his
birthday. The parsonage and lawn were
lighted up with lamps and lanterns and
the happy throng disposed themselves
on the lawn in chairs and proceeded to
have happy and splendid time. 1t was
hard to tell who was the happiest, the
parson and his wife or the people, Thus
sunshine and love begets sunshine and
love.
The parson made speech and told
them the Southern people ere the
sweetest, most charming, generous ane
big hearted people in the world He said
many good things, to the delight of all,
and gave them his recipe for ever re-
naming young. He closed with tender
prayer for Gods blessing on all present
and all the absent ones. Miss Carrie
Stucke then made neat speech and
presented him with wel-filled purse,
containing large sum of the needful,
skillfully concealed in something else.
The happy throng separated at a late
hour, leaving tho parsonage full of sun
shine and it's two inmates with the pleas
ATTEST memories of their life which they
will ever cherish for time and eternity.
They are bubbling over with happiness
and continually whisper, "God bless
youH' The ladies served refreshmen is
TO all, and thus closed happy event
ever to be remembered Sweet music

ter and w. j. Schroeder.

Clemson College Expenditures.

According to tabulated report filed
with the State Superintendent of Educa-
ton Clemson College has spent, for the
last scholastic year, over Sl55,2l2. This
report was filed last Thursday and is the
first of the series of annual statements
to be sent in by the colleges of the State.
The figures are most interesting, as they
are given month by month, and show
that Clemson is one of the richest col
leges in the South, although practically
every cent of the income is expended on
account of the enormous attendance and
the necessary expense attached thereto.
OF the $155,212 expended, great deal
came in from the fertilizer tax, which
was about $11S,000 last year, and has
already gone to nearly that anlount this
year. The statement does not give the
sources of revenue, but this will be filed
later. BY months the expenditures are
as follows:

Long Creek, August 21.-Iu this SEQ.
tions as we'll as elsewhere, public gather
iDgs are all the go.
Prof. Johu Bearden, Of Westminster,
closed a twelve-days' singing at Laurel
Spring church last Saturday. The sing
ing was we'll attended and great deal of
interest was manifested. SO much so
that the church was unable to accommo-
date all present. A movement ia on foot
(and subscriptions have been started) to
enlarge the building before the meeting
of the Semi-Annual Singing Convention,
which convenes here next May. Prof.
Bearden is president of the convention,
and, from our acquaintance, we think he
is the right man in the right place. The
people here will long remember Mr..
Bearden and David Ramey. who fur
nished the organ and assisted Mr.. Bear
den in the singing. A number of young
men were called on. to lead lesson.
Those we remember we're: Wesley
Moore, Logan Ramey, Luther. Phillips,
Jules Thrift, Bunyon Phillips, Sam Phil
lips, L. +. Ramey. On the last day of
the singing dinner was served on the
grounds by the good ladies of the COM
munity and all were invited to partake
and there was plenty to spare.
The public roads in this section have
been greatly improved by the road ma.
chine gang. We hear that our commits
sioner is thinking Of putting an extra
mule and plow ahead of the machine to
loosen up the dirt. Where the roads are
hard and orusty we believe this plan
would reduce the cost of working at least
40 per cent. We would not suggest q
turning plow, but very strong marrow,
sharp-pointed one. This will tear up
most any ground. In this way the
machine won't have to 60 over the same
ground 80 often to do the work.
We learn that Jas. f. Neville, presi-
dent of the Chattooga River Develop
ment Co., and Col. G. Shanklin, of Glenn
son College, with an engineering outfit,
have located several splendid dam sites
on Chattooga river, near the iron bridge

Col. Andrews Talks Of Mountain Railway.

Having looked into the affairs of the
Blue Ridge Railroad Company at the
headquarters in Anderson Col. A. b.
Andrews, the new president, who is also
the first vice president of the Southern
Railway, passed through Greenville last
evening in his privaIe car on his return
to Raleigh, N. G. The car was brought
in on the last train from Anderson and
left Greenville on No 40.
Col. Andrews is pleased with the con-
dition of the Blue Ridge aud the way in
which A. III. Wells, the manager, has taken
hold of the active management of the
properly. He spent most of his time in
the company's offices in Anderson, into
which Mr.. Wells moved short time ago,
and just after Col. Andrews election to
the presidency.
closer touch with the people of the Pied
mont section than is Col. Andrews. He
is one of the most popular railway Off
cials in this part of the country. He
understands the people and knows the
possibilities of the country for develop
ment and progress. Much of the exten-
| sion of the Southern's lines in this part
of the country, whether through pur-
chase or construction, is due to his good
business judgment
just at present the extension lof the
Blue Ridge Railway through the noun
tains, forming an outlet for Western
| business, is receiving his attention. Not
long ago it was reported that Col. An
drews had said the road would be built,
had the following yesterday afternoon:
Naturally he was asked many times
about the report that the Blue Ridge will
be completed over the mountains from
Knoxville. He said he did not want to
| make any definite promises, but he told
all who asked him that he thought the
road will be built over the mountains at
no distant day. To reporter he said,
Il am here now looking into the matter,
and don't want to say anythingideflnite
just yet. | hope to be in position,
though, to say something positive very
soon, and will be glad to tell you all
about it just as soon as can do so.'"
To Others Col. Andrews said the road
would be built before great while. The
road that is being built from Maryville
to Bushnell is, he said, a part of the
general scheme of the Southern to get a
line from Knoxville through Rabun Gap
into South Carolina. II is only some 90
or go miles from Maryville to bushnell
and as soon as the road is completed to
Bushaell the line on to Walhalla will be
taken up. 1t is understood that the line
is to be completed to Bushnell within a
year.-Greenville News, August 22,
