NEGRO ATTEMPTS ASSAULT.
Charlie Benson Arrested Monday in Camden
Pet Doa Saved its Mistress.

Charlie Benson Arrested Monday in Camden
Pet Dog Saved its Mistress.
CAMDEN, Nov. 20-Charlie Benson, Jr.,
a negro boy about 1s years old, was arrest
ed today for an attempted assault on re-
spected lady of this city, and has confess
ed his guilt.
The attempt was made Friday week
ago, and Benson was arrested on suspi-
cion soon afterwards but was released, as
there was no evidence against him. He
was employed at the house adjoining the
scene of the attempt and had been at
work there ever since it took place.
When again arrested today he made a
statement admitting that he had attempt
ed to assault the lady, and his statement
agrees with hers, although she was unable
to identify him, not knowing whether
her asssilant was black or white. His
confession also confirms the lady's state
ment that her pet dog saved her from
greater harm by his persistent barking as
she was struggling with the negro.
When the crime was committed the
carnival was in town. That afternoon the
negro boy met the lady's husband at the
gentleman's gate and asked him II he
were going to the carnival, and whether
he were going at night or in the afternoon.
He was told that the gentleman was go
ing in the afternoon and the negro then
decided to take advantage Of his absence
and make an attempt for which he had
been planning for several days, so he
now says. He saw his chance when the
lady went to the lot to shut the gate.
When she reached the gate the negro was
waiting and sprang at her, caught her
and threw her down. The woman fought
him desperately until her clothes were
torn almost to threads, and his neck was
cut by her finger nails, the marks of which
are still visible. Fearing that the bark
ing of her pet dog would attract attention
the negro gave up the struggle and ran.
1t was dark and she could not see
whether he was white or black.
The affair occurred in prominent res.
idence portion of the town, the house
being on Monumental park. The lady is
of well known family and is about q
years of age.
When Benson was arrested here today
it was thought that there might be an at
tempt to lynch him, and,the sheriff sought
authority from the governor to remove
his prisoner or to secure extra protection
if necessary but tonight it was thought
unnecessary and the negro is now in jail.

The Cotton Market.

The government crop report came out
Tuesday, and sent the price of cotton
up with a bound. The report puts the
crop much shorter than was supposed,
the figures for the total crop being less
than eight million bales. The price today
is eleven cents in Bamberg, and the re-
ceipts of the week are only 100 bales. As
soon as the report came out, New York
went up 100 points, or one cent a pound
1t seems likely that the price will go still
higher.

A SAD KILLING.
Little Boy, Twelve Years Old, Shoots Another
With Parlor Rifle.


With Parlor Rifle.
Last Saturday afternoon most dis:
tressing affair occurred in the factory
portion of the town, which forcibly Illus
trates the very bad practice of allowing
small boys to handle firearms.
It seems that several little boys were
together and enc had parlor rifle, and
one little fellow, twelve years old, shot
and instantly killed one of his playmates.
The bullet entered the heart.
An inquest was held by Coroner Zeig-
ler, and the jury returned verdict in the
usual form, that the dead boy came to his
death at the hands of John Hodson.
Notwithstanding a lot of inquiries, we
have been able to learn very little of the
details of the killing. In fact, we have
heard several versions of the affair. We
understand that the only witness of i'm
portance at the inquest was one of the
little boys who was present when the
killing took place. His story was, so We
are informed I'VE have not been able to
see the testimony that young Hodscn
called to him that he was going to shoot
him, and he replied that if he did, that
his father had gun and would shoot
him (Hodson.) Then Hodson turned to
the boy who was killed and said he
would shoot him, which he at once did.
The dead boys name was McLoat or
something like this. No one seems even
to know exactly what the right name is.
Young Hodson is now in Jail. His
parents are English people, and have
been working in the mill here for some
time.
The case is evidently one of criminal
carelessness or accident. There was no
quarrel, and the boys were evidently
good friends.

All this talk about whiskey being more
plentiful now in counties where dispensa-
lies have been voted out than under the
dispensary regime is allbosh. No doubt
such talk comes from the dispensary peo-
pie, but they are not helping their cause
any by spreading such reports. Anybody
with common .sense knows this is not
true.

John Sharpe Williams, the Democratic
leader Of congress, in the house, says that
he will support the president in the mat:
ter of national regulation of railroad
rates. AS the Esch- Townsend bill is the
only one likely to be presented, the state
ment of Mr.. Williams is equivalent to
saying that he will support this bill. 1t
is to be hoped that the Democrats will
not follow him in this. The Democrats
in congress can be depended on to do
some very foolish things, but we think
they will hardly support this measure.

A short visit to Orangebrg last week
showed US some of the wonderful prog.
ress that thriving city has made in the
last few years. Handsome new business
houses, long lines of cement sidewalks,
beautiful new residences, and many other
things attested the progressive spirit OF
her citizens. Bamberg could with profit
follow the example of her sister town
across the Edisto. The most noticeable
difference to Us was the appearance OF
the business portion of the city. A few
wears ago most of the business houses
we're old style one-story structures, some
of them being of wood. Now modern
two and three-story brick stores with
Mate glass and handsome fronts are to
be seen. In fact, Orangeburg's business
section would do credit to much larger
city.
The price of farming lands has gone
much higher all over the State. Now,
let's see how this class of property will be
returned in January. 1t is fact, which
no one can successfully deny, that banks,
cotton and oil mills, other manufacturing
enterprises, and town property, both real
and personal, bears an unjust burden in
the matter of taxation. Why should farm
ing lands which are worth $50 or more
the acre be returned at SIS the acre, and
other property be assessed at sixty per
cent. of its value? This rate of assessment
does not obtain in all instances, but We
unhesitatingly declare that farming lands
as rule are assessed lower than any
other form of property. We are not ar
guing for higher assessments, but We do
want to see more equitable and just as
sessments, Either raise farming lands
or reduce other property. Equal justice
to all men" and classes Of property should
be done.

ANOTHER LOST CAUSE HERO

Great Bargains in

Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, U. S. A.,
retired, was stricken with apo
plexy while EN- route from Boston
to Washington City, on Friday of

city that night.
Gen. Lee had the high honor of
having served in three wars, and
latter having served as a Major
General in the Southern Armv)
of dying General on the retired
list of the United States Army.
He was brave, gallant and hon
orable man, in all the relations
of life, and met the last enemy
without fear.
He did as much to assuage the
bitterness left by the civil war as
any on man in the country, and
lived to see that country one and
indivisible.

DIR. j. w. Young read a paper on
Race Suicide" before the State Med
ical Association at Jackson last week
which is being much discussed. 1t is
a custom of the association not to per-
NIT any papers read published in any
other than medical journals, but the
Doctor was paid the very high and I'M
usual compliment Of having this
restriction removed, as regards his
paper discussing the above subject,
and was requested to have the same
published in the associated press,
which will be done in a short while.
We have had the privilege of read
ing the paper ourselves. 1t shows
thoughtful preparation, and none
other than a desire to contribute to
the good of society and the physical
well being OF coming generations.
1t is a paper that should be read
and pondered by every family in the
land. 1t causes this question to pre-
sent itself to the mind: Is literary
training, social culture and latter day
environments and developments cauS-
ing people to violate a common law,
transgress a heavenly mandate, rob
the home of it's sweetest treasures,
and perhaps, be the means of landing
thousands within the gates of perdi-
ton?

New Real Estate Firm.

AS will be seen by announcement in
another column, MeSSrS. w. B. Hoffa
and q. A. Beatty have formed a
partnership as real estate dealers.
Mr.. Hoffa, the senior member OF the
firm, is thoroughly identified with
Grenada and her prosperity. He has
given much of his time, his talent and
energy toward every move looking to
the development of Grenada and Gren-
ada county, and we feel safe in aSsur-
ing that he will give the same indus
triOuS attention to any real estate
deals entrusted to him.
The junior member of the firm, MI.
G. A. Beatty, moved to Holcomb, in
this county, about five years ago from
Ohio and only recently became a
resident of Grenada. He is, however,
not without business experience, hav-
ing managed large property interests
both for himself and for his father.
The combination of the business
acumen Of two such excellent gentle
men makes a firm that should make
themselves felt in handling real estate
throughout this territory.
