COLLEGE ASSURED.
The Citizens of Greensburs Put
= Up. Cash for College Building.

The citizens of Greensburg ard Green
county met in the Presbyterian church
Tuesday evening at o'clock, and with
their purse-strings loose, and both
hands down deep in their pockets, and
inside of two hours changed the destiny
of this town and county by raising six
thousand dollars for the erection of a
high-class college in this town. What
does this mean? 1t means everything.
1t reveals that when the citizens of
this community are thoroughly aroused,
they show what kind of stuff they are
made of. The results of Tuesday night
show that the kind of stuff is the very
best kind, and that it is going to be
made still better.
The citizens were aided in their eff
forts by Rev. Donald Mcdonald, of
Danville, DR.. ]. ]. Rucker, of George
town College, and Gov. Hindman, Of
Columbia They made splendid speech
es, and encouraged the citizens to make
this good investment. This is certain
ly a week of thanksgiving for our peo-
pie. When that meeting adjourned
Tuesday night Greensburg and Green
county had changed their course, and
with fond good-by babe farewell to
the past, and asked her citizens to fol-
low her in her march to the front rank
of prosperity and advanced civilization.

TAXABLE PROPERTY
In COLUMBIA.
Lacks Only a Small Amount of The
Half Million Mark.

The taxable property in the town of
Columbia, according to the list taken
by the City Assessor, Miss Daut Mar
cum, amounts to about $4O9, OO4, but the
Board of Supervisors raised this assess
ment $40, 900 making the sum total of
taxable property reach $479, 1O4, which
falls short of the half million mark on
ly $2O,896
At the present rate of taxation, these
figures with other additional sources of
revenue, will give the City Council next
year about twenty-three hundred dol
lars with which to meet expenses.
Taking into consideration the pro-
gressive steps taken by the Council
this year, we are led to believe that be-
fore the expiration of another, Column
hia will be in the front ranks of modern

MURDEROUS ASSAULT
Made Upon eager Jones By Leon.
ard Mcclure Saturday Morning.

AS result of murderous assault
made by Leonard Mcclure, colored. in
the livery barn of Allen Walker, Sat-
urday morning, young white man.,
eager Jones, is lying at his home in
this city in very critical condition.
Both men were employed by Mr.
Walker, and from witnesses we gather
the following statement. The parties
were sent to grease some vehicles, the
negro having the box, and in friendly
scuff1e, as the witnesses thought, Jones
jerked the grease from the negro, and
the latter was so angered, that he
struck him once or twice with his fist,
whereupon Jones turned and started
towards his work. Mcclure grabbed a
heavy piece of oak timber, and slipping
up behind the white man dealt him a
murderous blow, which felled him to
the floor with such force as to knock
several teeth loose, and the blood oozed
from his mouth. The injured man was
placed in buggy and carried to his
home, where he was examined by DR..
w. R. Grissom, who says that the
skull was not fractured, but the man
is in very serious condition.
Mcclure was arrested by Sheriff Pat
teson and lodged in jail.
Jones removed to Columbia
about a year ago from Grady
vile, and with his wife resides in a
tenant house owned by Mr.. Allen Walk
er, near Greensburg street. He is a
poor man financially, and this spell will
work great hardship on his family
Mcclure is about eighteen or nineteen
years of age, and is son of the late
VIM. Mcclure, who was killed by Jody
Burbridge last March.
The examining trial has been set for
Thursday.

When DR.. Whitfield took charge of
the M. & F. last September, he imme-
diarely revised and strengthened the
courses of study, making the curricu-
lum conform to the entrance require
ment. of the best colleges and universe
ties in the South, and at the same time
gave it sufficient elasticity to accomo-
date that large class of Students who
wish only business training. The
wisdom of this step is already bearing
fruit in an increased interest and en-
thusiam upon the part of the student
body. The Normal course has been
arranged with a special view to the ac-
commodation of prospective teachers,
and those already in the work, who,
for any reason, wish to review or make
more thorough preparation for their
calling. Both these classes will find
the arrangements at the M. & F. ad-
mirably adopted to their needs.

SIX BEARS SEEN
In Tennessee Mountains by W. D.
King, a Commercial Traveller,
of This City.

Mr.. w. D. King had a thrilling ex-
perience in the mountains of Tennessee
one night last week. Mr.. King is a
Drummer" called by many a COM
mercial traveller, at any rate he sells
dry goods, and big lot of them, and
Wilde in the mountains of Tennessee
one near jamestown, he spent a night
with farmer. Near the place he was
stopping was turkey roost, and after
hearing about it, Mr.. King became
anxious to kill some turkeys that night,
so his farmer friend and two other men
and Mr.. King secured guns and left for
the turkey slaughter pen. On their
way up the mountain they came across
six black bears, two old ones and four
well grown cubs. They opened fire,
on one of the old ones that showed
fight, and finally succeeded in killing it,
but in the midst of the battle the bear
made rush at Mr.. King, who left the
earth in pair of seconds, by climbing
atree so fast that the bear gave up and
rushed at anoter. Mr.. King forgot to
use his gun, and doubtless made a
lucky escape, as it was not loaded for
bears. Bears are not common in that
section, and it is thought the ones
above mentioned were just passing
through. After the one had been killed
the others made their escape.
