NEGRO ATTACKS MINISTER.
Rev. B. F. Bradley Seriously Cut by
Farm Hand-Great Excitement in
Greenwood County.

Greenwood, July 1S.-Great excite
this afternoon over a murderous as
sault made by negro upon Rev. r.
F. Bradley. the highly esteemed pas
tor of the A. r. P. church at Long
Cane
The negro, John Suber. who came
from Georgia some months ago, was
employed by Mr.. Bradley upon his
farm. Today the negro resented some
order or reprimand given by Mr..
Bradley and made an attack on him
with a knife. Mr.. Bradley was cut
twice, once on each side of mis- throat,
and also had long cash across MS
back The negro at once fled.
Reports, from Troy say that every
man in the town and surrounding
country is. searching for the negro.
Sheriff Mcmillan as soon as the
news reached him, left in an auto
mobile for Troy. The dogs owned by
tie county were at Epworth, some 20
miles from Troy, but they were at
once ordered TO the scene.
a later report from Troy says Mr..
Bradley is not fatally wounded.
1t is almost impossible to get COM
munication. Every one is beside him
self with rage and resentment. Mr..
Bradley is one of the most highly es-
teemed citizens Of the county. He is
about SO years old and a leading
minister OF his denomination and is
known all over the State.
At 6 O'Clock the negro was reported
as surrounded in swamp.

TERRIBLE MARINE DISASTER.

San Francisco, Cal, July 22.-One
hundred lives are believed to have
been lost when the steamer Columbia
was sunk by collision with the lumber
steamship San Pedro off Sheeler Cove
All of those reported dead met leah
by drowning. while an equal n: abr
of passengers from the Columbia es-
capped death by getting aboard the San
Pedro.
The accident occurred in heavy
fog and the doomed passengers had
no chance to escape. The wreck oc-
Cured at midnight Saturday night,
but the news of it did no reach here
until today. Reports are meagre and
details are lacking.
The Columbia was an iron screw
steamship of 2,722 tons, and was built
by ]. Roach & Sons, of Chester, Pa.
1t was owned by the San Francisco
and Portland S. S. Company and was
enroute from here to Portland at the
tirne Of the collision.
The San Pedro was a wooden screw
steamship of 456 tons. San Pedro
was heavily laden with lumber.
San Francisco, Cal. July 23.-The
latest reports from the Columbia
steamer disaster indicate that there Is
doubt as to the t,uth Of the report
that III persons have been saved. 1t
is now denied that more than one
] life boat was picked UP. 1t contained
16 survivors and the bodies Of tive
victims. Six life boats and three life
RATS, loaded to the limit. were cut
loose Until all are accounted for iC
will be impossible to tell the exact
number saved.

wH1sKEY FLoArED DOWN RIVER

Darlington, July 2i.-Deputy Sher-
if W. H. Moziago and Policeman l.
D. Fields captured six. barrels OF whis-
key and arrested Charles r. Mccall,
we'll known white man who was in
possession Of the same, Saturday
nigh. The capture was effected at
the point where the Charleston. Sum-
ter and Northern Railroad crosses
Pee Dee river. The barrels had evi-
dently been foated down stream for
some distance and landed at this
point for the purpose Of being trans
ported through the swamps out to
Darlington, or other lairs of the til
gers of this section.
1t is apparently moonshine whis-
key, there being no evidence that any
revenue or other tax has ever been
paid on the same. Some of the bar
rels had apparently been used before,
and some were apparently almost
new. 1t is hard to tell, however, for
the reason that they are covered with
river mud. which has accumulated
and fastened itself to the barrels dur
ing their Journey down stream.
The officers named received some
informa ion yesterday that caused
them 70 leave Darlington about 5
o'clock in the afternoon, and arriving
at the point designated about dark.
It appeared just at the time that Nc
Call was on the. lookout for his con-
federates to approach and assist in
transporting the stuff. There was no
trouble in making the haul. 1t is not
believed that Mccall owns the whis-
key, but that ne was simply floating it
down the river from some whiskey
still above here for oilers, but he
declines to give any information ex-
cept that it is not his property.
Mccall was lodged in Jail. He was
tried about three years ago for SELL
ing whiskey, but the jury could not
agree and a mistrial was ordered. AZ
ter capturing the whiskey it was nee
essary to send one of the party out OF
the swamp for distance Of more
than four miles to procure a wagon
with which to bring the whiskey to
Darlington. It was loaded on the
wagon about 12 O'Clock last night and
the party reached Darlington about
o'clock this morning. The officials
think they know positively to whom
the whiskey belongs. and are of the
opinion that had there not been SPIES
on the lookout to inform the ownef
that the officials were in the swamp
last night they would have captured
the "chief guy
This floating OF whiskey down Pee
Dee is not a new scheme. some thirty
| barrels having been captured at one
time some two or three years ago

MEETING OF LUMBERMEN.
Three Hundred Mills in North and
South Carolina Agree to Shut Down
HI,rino August


During August.
A large number of .lumberraen who
operate mills in this State and North
Carolina met here Tuesday pursuan to
a call sent out ten days ago by H. j.
McLaurin, Jr., and others, for ti1s'
purpose of considering the preserTS
unsatisfactory conditions existing ira
the lumber market. The lumbermen
present in the meeting represented in
their own right and by proxy about
three hundred mills located in the
two Carolinas, hence the action taken
by them will have weighty effect upon
the lumber markets.
The whole situation was discussed,
at length, and a resolution was hna1--
ly adopted to shut down all the mills
represented for one month, from Au-
gust 1st.
The meeting was not public one
and a full report of the proceedings
was not given to the press, but it was
stated positively that no move was
made looking toward Withdrawing
from the North Carolina Pine Asso-
citation, and the organization Of new
association.

CLEMSON COLLEGE DISCIPLINE
The Condition in the Big Agricultural
College Disgraceful to the Whole
State


College Disgraceful to the Whole
State.
Editor Item: We, of all men,
should look closely after the discip-
line Of our youth. The government is
now firmly stablished and there is
no following for the dissenter and
the country is safe from disruption.
and as nothing short of an attempt
to establish a government should be
dignifed enough to claim our support,
bushwhacking tactics should not be
tolerated. All things today approve
Of the necessity for stricter discipline
Of our children. The form of our
government demands it, as We are re-
sponsible to ourselves, and if we are
reared without proper discipline we
can never make safe citizens. There
would be less blufing and buying OF
votes at our primary elections; pistol
practice would be abated; the drink
habit would be modified; the danger
Of race riots would be lessened; our
home life, the most important of our
possessions, would be elevated and
made more attractive; the clamor Of
many whites who by their acts are
row seeking admittance into the con-
fines of our penitentiary would be
quieted; and foreigners could visit
our State without feeling that they
were taking their, lives in their hands.
Assuming that the proposition that
the head being corrupt causes evil to
permeate the whole, is correc-, causes
desire in our heart to lament with
the Anderson Intelligencer, over the
pusillanimous, sickly and disgusting
state of discipline at Clemson College.
The modification it makes US feel
that "The Britannica America knew
somewhat Of our condition down here
when it declard that tn South would
soon sink to the level Of the South
American republics but for the prox-
| unity of northern civilization. The
Citadel is run With scrupulous regard
to discipline. There is never any IN
suhordination at the University, Win
throp is a modl. Even Miller of the
negro college jealousy guards its
discipline, and it remains for Clemson
to disgrace the whole family, and II
remains also for Clemson to be al
last pulled down by its own hopetul
founders and those who pay the
heavy tax for its support.
W. A. James.
