A FIENDIsH ATTACK.
A Lady Attacked in Her Home BY .
Brute

The Atlanta Journal says Mrs.
Mamie May Dupree, nineteen years
old, was knocked down and rendered
unconscious and her throat slightly
cut Tuesday afternoon of last week
by negro in the kitchen OF 81. T.
Grogan, on the Jonesboro road, near
Cornell. The negro escaped and a
posse of blood hounds belonging to
the federal prison, and the city and
county police are on his trail.
DR.. @. o. Smith, who was called In
to attend the young woman found her
unconscious and bleeding from q
slight wound in the throat, Mrs. Du-
pree is not seriously hurt and will re-
cover.
TO DR.. Smith Mrs. Dupree said she
did not remember the appearance OF
the negro. She did not state to the
doctor whether she was criminally as.
saulted or whether an attempt Of that
kind had been made. 1t Is believed
however, that this was the attempt
of the negro.
Mrs. Dupree's husba d is not the
city just now, andsShe ad been living
at the home of II. T, GroRan.
Accounts of the time when the at
tack occurred differ, but it Is thought
that it happened about $50 O'Clock
Tuesday afternoon.
Mrs. Dupree had started to the
kitchen on an errsnd. Turning then
to 20 back into the house she was
confronted suddenly by negro who
dealt her blow in the forehad. She
was knocked fat on the floor and
there lay unconscious until other wo'
men in the house who had doubtless
heard her scream when she fell ran to
her assistance,
They found Mrs. Dupree in state
of stupor and bleeding from a wound
in her throat, evidently inflicted from
a knife, or some sharp instrument.
Mrs. Dupree was picked up and
borne into a room, later DR., Smith
was summoned. He tried to calm the
young woman who had become hyster'
icsl and examined the wound on her
throat found that it was not serious.

WORLDS OLDEST INDUSTRY.
Manufacture of Gun Fllnts-Still
Used In Africa and Asia.

Used In Africa and Asia.
Probably the oldest established buss-
ness in the world is at Brandon, in SUI
folk, where the manufacture OF gun
fints has been carried on as the sue
cessor to the prehistoric manufacture
of arrow heads from the same mate
rial. It is estimated that for more than
ten thousand years flint working has
been carried on at that spot; the only
change made since those early days be-
ing in the introduction Of metal tools
for working the hints in place Of the
stone and horn Of the average.
Gun fints are still in use In various
parts of Asia and Africa, where the
possession of percussion cartridges 1s
forbidden to the natives. The average
weekly production Is still 10000,
though in the days when the flint lock
was the universal arm millions were
turned out weekly, since Brandon Is
noted as producing the best flints made.
Gun fints are not the only product,
however, for in Latin Europe the
"strike-a-light" is still given the pref
erence over matches, and of these about
twenty thousand a week are manufac-
tured for the Italian and Spanish trade.
During the Bocr war $4,000 fints were
issued to the british troops and were
found valuable in emergencies where
the ordinary match would not have
served.
The strata of flint are in five layers
on. Liugheath Common, q mile south
east of the village. Each miner works
by himself, employing the same meth
ods as were followed by the earlier
workmen, the ground being uncovered
in layers or "steps," that the dirt may
be carried away without the use OF
windlass and buckets.
The product is sold to the clippers,
who work at their homes in the village
In spite of the fact that each blow OF
the hammer is from different angle
and is struck with various force, the
workman instinctively guides the chisel
and the flakes fall into the baskets in
an almost continuous stream. They
are shaped with q chisel-like hammer
on q block Of iron and are then packed
into barrels containing from 5000 to
10000 each.

Industry, in the form Of selling whale
