TO REMOVE PAINT SMELL.

The smell of fresh paint is very
disagreeable, and therefore it is use
full to know what will remove it. Fill
bucket with water, put an onion in
it that has been cut down into four
(not cut through; put it in the mid
die of the room that has been painted,
all night, with the windows and doors
shut, and in the morning the smell
will have quite gone.

Kind Words.

In a letter to the Hampton Guard
ian, Mrs. A. McB. Speaks, of this
city, writes as follows of The Bam-
berg Herald and its editor:
''Our town continues to grow de-
spite the wave of hard times which
has struck US. The cotton mill is
building a commodious brick ware
house for their use; Mr.. J. Aldrich
Wyman is erecting a neat cottage
for rent on the street which your
scribe lives. Mr.. J. ]. Smoak has
just completed a two-story stable for
use in his livery business, and Editor
Knight of the Bamberg Herald is
building next door to the Bamberg
Banking Co., a large brick store to
be used as a book and stationery
store with printing office in the rear.
Evidently here is an editor who has
made a newspaper pay in a country
town. His sheet for some time past
has been gotten up altogether at
home and is credit to its editor who
is not afraid at any and all times to
express his views editorially upon is
sues of the day whether popular or
unpopular, to which characteristic in
q man or woman we doff our hats.
We make our incest bow to Mrs.
Speaks. She is a woman of intelli-
gence and strong character, and to
have her good opinion of our work
is indeed gratifying.

NEwBERRY, December w. W.
Spearman, a prosperousyoung farm
er, who lives at Silver street, seven
miles west of Newberry, died sud,
denly this morning from the effects
of an overdose of laudanum. He
was complaining yesterday, but those
who saw him say he was cheerful.
His wife states that he took two
doses, one at about 2 and the other
at about 4 o'clock. She summoned
DR.. Moore, the local physician, and
DR.. Jas. K. Glider, from Newberry.
DR.. Glider arrived only a short time
before Mr.. Spearman died.
It is not known whether the lauda-
mum was taken with suicidal intent
or not. The coroner is holding an
inquest this evening, but will not re-
turn to the city until later.
Mr.. Spearman leaves a widow and
several children by former mar
riage. The funeral will be at New

Senator Bates q Candidate.

BARNWELL, Dec. O.-When seen
by your correspondent today and
asked whether he would be a can
didate for the position of judge in
the second judicial circuit, Senator
George H. Bates said that he would
not be candidate in the sense OF
making a regular political campaign
for the position; that he had been
urged by a number Of members OF
the bar from different sections of the
State to allow them to offer his
name in this connection and put it
before the general assembly this
winter; that he had consented to this
and if elected would accept and do
his utmost to discharge the duties of
the office.
Senator Bates makes the fourth
candidate in the field for the posi-
ton. Solicitor Davis and Col. Robert
Aldrich of the local bar have an
nounced themselves and Capt. Saw
yer of the Aiken bar has also decided
to enter the race.

Brother Sims, of the Orangeburg
Times and Democrat, is right in say
ing his paper was the first weekly
paper in the State to install limo
type machine. We had him confused
with the semi-weeklies when we
wrote the article, and for the time
being had his paper down in the
semliweekly class. The Times and
Democrat no doubt has the best
newspaper outfit of any weekly in
the State. They have no job outfit.
But, really, Brother Sims prints
more matter in his weekly than
many of the semi-weeklies. For
several months he has been issuing
a seven-column twelve-page paper.

WHITE GIRL ATTACKED.
Two Men Arrested at Union on Sc
rious Charge.

UNION, December 10.-On Sunday
afternoon an attempt at criminal as
sault was made, it is alleged, by
Lester Becknell, white, upon Miss
Fannie Vaughn, a respectable white
girl of 16 or 18 years of age. Miss
Vaughn and Miss Sadie Willard came
up last week from their homes near
Santee on visit to relatives. On
Sunday, a little before snset, the two
girls were walking on the Southern
Railroad leading to Spartanburg.
When a short distance up the road
they were overtaken by Lester Beck
nell and man who gives his name
IS w. C. Massey. The former is a
native of this county. When these
came up with the girls Miss Willard
turned and ran back to the home OF
her brother-in-law, but the men took
hold of Miss Vaughn, carried her
some distance up the track and into
a thicket, where she was knocked
down, beaten about the face, and the
men only deslsted from their efforts
to accomplish their purpose when
they became alarmed at the outcries
of the girl.
Upon being arrested Becknell re.
mained stolid and weakly denied his
guilt. Massey, on the the other hand,
pointed out Becknell as the guilty
party, and stated that he himself
only stood off and looked on while
Becknell made his attempt. No one
having denied this account of the af.
fair, Massey, who only came to Union
last week, is being held in Jail as q
witness, while a warrant was prompt
ly issued for Becknell on the charge
: of an assault with intent to ravish.
Miss Vaughn's brothers assault ed
Massey after the occurrence and
stabbed him in the back with 9
knife, but the wound is not serious
one.
