BROGDON.

Brogdon, May 13-One month ago
we were having lots of frost and ice.
and today there is again touch of
winter-hres and wraps are in evi-
dence. All had hoped that winter,
which had so long fingered in the lap
of spring, had departed and that the
summer days were here for good. We
much prefer TIE cool weather TO the
continued rainfall, for the heavy
rains of last week evidently brought
TO our minds the sad experience of
last year.
Crops are doing only tolerably we'll;
the earth is too damp and cold. Corn
is small for the time of the year. A
great deal Of it has been destroyed by
birds. and has been replanted. Gar
dens are quite pretty. Nearly every
family is having plenty of headed
cabbage, peas, beets, etc.
The fruit crop is failure, but the
crop OF spring chickens seems abun-
dant- The ladies OF this section COM
pete with each other as to who can
raise the greatest number. Mrs. S. S.
Davis has between so and 60 at pres
eat, with several hatchings to follow
Mrs. j. I. Brogdon, Mrs. J. c. Stukes
and Mrs. D. H. Smith each have large
broods OF turkeys.
We must not forget to mention
what some Of the little boys are doing
since they have been released from
school They have made fish traps
for themselves, and are now bringing
in lots &c nice fish. These, OF course,
are much enjoyed by the members OF
each family. One trap produced one
hundred fish in few days.

YOUNG GIRL HAS CLOSE CALL.
Another Alleged attempt at Outrage
in Marion.

Mullins. May 6.-An unsuccessful
attempt was made today by negro.
named Mayo Carmichael. 70 assault,
it is believed, little Waddelle Sawyer.
the eleven-year-old daughter of Mr..
ana Mrs. John Sawyer who live in
the Millers' section. about 1hrre miles
| from town.
This morning. the little girl, as was
her usual custom, about 5 O'Clock led
the COW TO the pasture, which was
only about three hundred yards from
the house. After letting dom the
bars and turning in the COW she first
noticed some one behind bunch Of
bushes near her, and then saw him
start towards her. She INNS ediateiy
began screaming and turned to run.
Her father heard her and at once
started to her. When she began
screaming, the negro, for such WAS
the man, turned and fed.
The negro lived on the plantation
Of Mr.. Gilbert Johnson, which adjoins
the one on which Mr.. Sawyer resides,
and was at once recognized by the
child. Mr.. Sawyer, on learning who
the party was, went to the home Of
the negro's father. but the boy at that
l.oJ
Mr. Sawyer discussed the affair
with the boys father and was advised
by him to put the mstter into the
hands of the law as he could not con-
troll him at all.
About this time the news. began to
spread rapidly and, following on
close on the affair Of Saturday night,
and being within Eve miles Of the
same place, intense feeling was arous-
ed.
The negro, who had started to his
fathers home, was soon caught by
Mr.. Johnson. and Mr.. Sawyer was
sent for. It was decided that he
should take him to town and turn
him over to the magistrate.
Soon after starting they were met
by one Of the neighbors, who insisted
that they tie him. On hearing this
the prisoner jumped from the vehicle
and fed.
Pursuit was at once begun and the
tracks were followed to Buck swamp,
and the negro was seen lodging
through it. The pursuing party was
fast increasing in numbers and the
swamp was pretty we'll surrounded
by them. The fugitive was several
times seen lodging and running
among the thick bushes of the
swamp. and was repeatedly called on
to surrender, but refused to do so,
and continued to run from place to
place. At one time one Of the party
headed him off and caught him. In
the scuffe the negro threw him aside
and escaped again. The chase was
continued until this afternoon aoout
8 O'Clock w;3en persons travelling the
public road across the swamp heard
several shots fred in quick succession
and sznce that time the negro has not
been seen. The news of the affair
was not brought to Mullins until this
evening about o'clock.-News and
