Attempted Assault.

Abbeville, December ga negro
on Tuesday night attempted to as
sault Mrs. Scott Hammond on Maga-
zine street. Mrs. Hammond was at
the time alone at home. About 6
O'Clock she was attracted by some
one opening window blind to her
room. She saw a negro trying to
enter her room and Immediately
rang the phone for policeman.
The negro cody told her, as he
was attempting to raise the window
sash, that it would be too late when
any one came to help her.
Mrs. Hammond ran into the front
yard and by screams gave an alarm
to her next door neighbor. Her
screams were heard by her husband, /,
who was returning home earlier than
usual, and he hastened to her assist
ance. He arrived just in time to see
the negro jump over the back yard
fence and run away.
Mr.. Hammond fired his pistol at
the fleeing negro, but without effect,
as it was too dark for him to see.
Bloodhounds were put on the trail,
but it could not be followed further
than the Southern depot, where there
is much travelling. There is little
clue as to who the guilty negro is,
but it is very probable that it was
some one well, acquainted with Mr..
Hammond's movements, as he at
tempted to enter the house at time
when Mr.. Hammond is almost in
variably absent. This was one of
the boldest attempts at crime ever
known here. 1t was shortly after
dark and on one of the most thickly
settled streets in town.

Monument Erected to Memory OF Col. Orr.

In memory of the late Col. James
l.. Orr, for many years president and
treasurer of the company, the Pied
mont Manufacturing Company has
erected handsome monument,
which stands close by that of the
lamented II. p. Hammett, father-in-
law and predecessor of Col. Orr, in
the beautiful well-kept lawnaround
the company's office in Piedmont.
The monument was designed and
purchased from the Butler Marble
and Granite Company, of Marietta,
Ga, through the local manager,
John II. Gillespie, who placed the
handsome shaft last week. The mon
ument cost approximately $1,000,
and is beautifully executed piece
of work. On the front of the shaft
this inscription is found: "James L.
Orr, born August 20, 1852, died
February 26, 1906" On the South
side: "Representative in the Legis.
lature; peerless and efficient solicitor
of the eighth circuit for seven years
an able and successful lawyer; one
of the most prominent and successful
manufacturers in the South; leader
among men," On the opposite side
81 have fought good fight; / have
finished my course I have kept the
faith, henceforth there is laid up for
me a crown of righteousness" On
the west side of the shaft is found
"This monument is erected by the
Piedmont Manufacturing Company
in commemoration of the memory of
James Lawrence Orr, who for four
teen years served the company as
president and treasurer."-Green-
vile Herald.

Philippine islands Graphically Named.

A man from Michigan, who seems
to have a natural capacity for putting
things graphically when he sits down
TO write, has sent a letter to the
Mount Pleasant Enterprise, of that
State, in which he expresses some
plain truths in very picturesque style,
80 we reprint it as contribution to
the gaiety of nations:

lands about three months (too many)
and, as / see them, they are bunch

tion.- They are bounded on the
north by rocks and destruction, on
the east by typhoons and hurricanes,
on the south by cannibals and earth
quakes, on the west by sharks and
smugglers. The interior of the is.
land is composed of mud and noun
tains. The population includes S0,-
600 oaribous (water buffsloes) and
100000 roosters. OF the people
10000 are insurrectors, $4,000 are
amegoes friends at the mazzle of a
AZ and the balance are Chinese
gamblers and carineta drivers.
The Philippine Islands are nice
bouquet for deadly enemy. The
climate; is pleasant and healthy for
mosquitoes, snakes and caribous.
Malarial fever is so prevalent that
on many occasions the islands have
been shaken by the vibration of the
inhabitants in their chills.

Another blow has been struck at the
cigarette. Now comes medical au-
thority to declare that leeches applied to
inveterate cigarette smokers die of nico-
tine after short time. On the other
hand they cling to habitual pipe smokers
without experiencing any apparent dis
comfort, from which 1t is argued that
the cigarette smoker absorbs the nicotine
while the pipe smoker does not. The
investigator is silent regarding cigars,
but the experiments show that the cigar
cite evil is bad one.

While we ale worrying about how to
get enough money to run the State on a
cash basis, Alabama is discussing what
it shall do with the surplus, and it is
proposed to call an extra session of the
Legislature to consider the question.
Fortunate is State where the treasury
has all necessary funds to heet expenses.
When surplus arises the question
ought not to be how to itSest it, but
how to get rid of it by reducing taxation.

Cut Out Patent Medicines.

Spartanburg, November 24.-The
retail druggists of Spartanburg
county held meeting recently.
The principal matter up for discus
sion was whether or not druggists
would handle for the trade Peruna,
Hostetter's Bitters, Malt Extract and
other malt goods. Owing to the
fact that the United States exacts a
license of $25 for the sale of the
preparations above mentioned and
also that their sale will come in
direct conflict with the State law,
the druggists decided to cut out the
entire affair, and will sell none of
the proprietary medicines coming
under the ban.
DIR. B. w. Taylor, one of the most
prominent citizens of Columbia and
a distinguished physician of the State,
died on December 81 of heart failure
caused from double pneumonia. His
extensive local practice over so many
years makes his death appear a per-
sonal loss to more citizens than that
of any other man in Columbia could
bring about. He had an enviable
war record, but as physician his
reputation stands high. He was 70
years old.

1t is the chamber IN WHICH lue uVine
and immortal within us dwells. The
soul is the holy Of holies in mans
life. It is as Paul says, '"The Temple
of the Holy Ghost" When, for In
stance. you feel at times, as surely at
times we all do, an almost overpoWer-
ing yearning after God, to know Him,
to be like Him, it is your soul that IS
speaking. It is the immortal within
YOU. crying out for its kinship with
God. The vitality of your soul. there
fore. is the pledge of your immortality.
Destroy the soul, and you destroy that
; within YOU without which eternity is
unthinkable. That is why Christ put
such emphasis on the awful possibility
of losing the soul. ''What shall it pront
a man." He said. eff he gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?" Moth
ing can compensate that loss. Christ
does not say that gaining the world''
necessarily means loss Of the soul;
what He says is, that a prize even so
great as the attainment Of the whole
world would not offset the loss Of q
single individual soul. Do we realize
that?
The first condition, therefore. in soul
growth. is to realize the issue at stake,
to recognize the infinite value Of your
soul as your one and only asset when
death, with ruthless fingers, strips
Won Of all else. "Think Of living"
said Carlyle, "for vert thou the pitt
fullest of all the sons of earth thy life
is no idle dream. 1t is thine own. 1t is
all that thou hast to zee eternity

A Spirited Witness.

Sir Henry Irving was once the
guest of honor at lawyers banquet
in New York. In the course OF q
graceful address, he said:
"You, gentlemen, have given me
most helpful advice on the art OF act
ing-will you permit me to give you
in return a piece Of advice regarding
your profession?
my advice, then, Is that you make
your cross-examfnation less vigorous,
less harsh. What is the good OF
treating an honest and sensitive wit
ness on the witness stand as though
he were a sneak thief? A young man
in my company was witness in a
case of robbery. He had seen thief
snatch a young girls pocketbook and
make off.

He roared at him, shook his fist at
him, raved at him.
"sAnd at what hour did all this
happen?' the lawyer, sneering, asked
toward the end Of his examination.
"I think my friend began, but
he was at once interrupted.
".We don't care anything here
about what you Think said the law
yer. with a snort of contempt.
Don't you want to hear what l
