Jimmv sebrino,s Record.

A fan writes as follows 10 the Williams
port Gazette and Bulletins
"rhore seems TO be a desire on the part
Of some TO hammer al this, or that player
when he the player. falls TO make a de-
sired hit, or falls down on an almost inn
possible play The widier has attended all
games played at home, and at times has
been very much amused by the remarks
made by some patrons of the game, who
invariably select as his target certain
players Of the home team as the base Of
his unjust and prejudicial criticism They
appear TO be positive in condemning his
misplays, and equally as positive to for
get his good playing. What they desire Is
a conundrum TO the writor. In Saturdays
game with Wilmington they had their
hammers going at lively clip, located d.
rectly at Jimmy" sonring. Let us look
up the record Of "Jim" for this season.
Batting average pa. sixth I'm rank Of
home team, consisting Of 81 games played,
5S base hits. 81 runs, 3 sacrifice hits, 10
stolen bases.
Fielding average: 81 games played, Ill
put-outs assists. 4 errors, average .957.
highest record OF our own outnedors.
In che face Of this record il as unneces-
sary TO dwell on Jmmy's efficiency.

He Had The Habit.

A story is current concerning a pro
fessor who is reputed to be slightly
absent-nainded. The learned man had
arranged to escort his wife one even.
ing to the theatre.
II don't like the tie you have on.
wish you would go up and put on an
other," said his wife.
The professor TRANQUILITY obeyed:
Moment after moment elapsed until
finally the impatient wife went up
stairs to learn the cause of delay. In
his room she found her husband un-
dressed and getting into bed. Habit
had been too much for him when he
took off his tie.-London Tit-Bits.

USUAL CRIME IN ABBEVILLE.
Negro Boy, Thirteen Years Old, AS
saults Little White Girl.

ABBEvILLE, Sept. 2.-The reports
of an extremely peculiar criminal as
sault case was brought to Abbeville
this morning when Constable J. R.
Wilson, of the Level Land section ar
rived, bringing with him Tillman
Black, a small negro boy of 13 years
of age.
The outrage occurred on Sunday
morning near Level Land, which is
practically between Abbeville and
Anderson counties. Black was en-
ployed and lived on the farm of De-
Witt Hall, farmer. He was, Of
course, thoroughly trusted around
the house and was accustomed to
play with the six-year-old daughter
of Mr.. Hall.
Sunday morning he took her with
him, saying he was going to the pea
nut patch. Instead he took the little
girl to a cotton house and there ac-
complished his purpose. He then
told her he would kill her if she dis
closed what had happened. The lit
tie girl remained silent all day and it
was only when her mother put her to
BED Sunday night that she learned
what had occurred.
Black was found on the place as
usual and Constable Wilson was sum-
moned. Mr.. Hall was anxious that
the law take it's course and helped to
see that the boy was sent to Able
vile. DR.. J. A. Anderson was also
summoned and after an examination
said that the little girl had not been
seriously injured.
The boy arrived here about three
o'clock this morning and was placed
in iail. The case was given to the
grand jury which rendered true
bill, and the trial will probably be
entered upon tomorrow morning:
There are on the docket beside this
case, one murder case, one arson case
and six assault and battery cases, the
accused in all of the cases being col
Ored.
