great deal mors property and the
assessment is raised. Now the people
have right to know what is the matter.
In looking over the other counties
flnd that many of them do not pay more
than half what we do and some not over
one third as much. The main trouble is
in the system of working the roads.
About half the money called for Is for
that purpose, and the only way 1 know
to reduce the levy from 20 mills Is for all
of us to work our own roads. Then
think our system of assessment is much
in need of improvement. These things
should be discussed when men run for
the Legislature. Now, if our delegation
was unit on this matter we could re-
duce the taxes at least mills instead of
increasing it. OF course, some of our
people would not like it, but / think the
only way we will have better roads is for
everybody to work the roads in their own
neighborhood. This is the way talked
last GUNNER aud found that a great many
of our people were of that mind.

White Woman Attacked by Negro.

Lafayette, Ca, Feb. 3.-Entering the
home of Mrs. Hattie Johnson, while she
was alone In the house at 8 O'Clock this
morning, Jim Jones, negro about 35
years of age, made an attempt at crimi-
nal assault, but Mrs. Johnsons screams
prevented him from accomplishing his
purpose and brought number of neigh
bors to the scene, who effected Jones's
capture.
Mrs. johnson is the wife of o. b. John
son, section foreman, who is now in
the Southern part of the State, and while
Mrs. johnson was the only person in her
home at the time, the fact that the me-
gro perpetrated his attack In the heart
of town and in broad daylight makes the
crime one of extraordinary boldness.
Jones was lodged In the county Jail
and will be tried at the next session of
tho Superior Court, which conyenes ON
the third Monday OF this month.

Sensational Rold.Up at Union.

A Union special, of January 81, to the
Columbia State, says: A very sensational
huld.up, in which E. S. Tramell, super
intendent of the spinning department of
the Excelsior Knitting Mills, was at
tackled by j. d. Fore, a North Carolina
mountaineer, and his 17-year-old son,
occurred in South Union last night and,
as the outcome of life and death strug-
gle alone in the dark. f. S. Tramell dis
armed and overpowered both his antag-
onists. 1t appee2s that Fore had been in
the mill under the influence of liquor.
During the afternoon he had insulted
one of the female operatives, who ap-
pealed to Mr.. Tramell, and when Tramell
demonstrated with Fore, Fore drew q
knife on him, but Tramell managed to
get box between them and then
knocked Fore down. he then ordered
Fore to leave the mill, which he did,
vowing vengeance on Tramell. He then
returped to his home, where he armed
himself and his ION with shotgnns and
prepared to waylay Tramell as he re-
turned homo. When the mill closed. it
seems that the son was reluctant to do
this, but he did as his father commanded,
Mr.. Tramell having an intimatipn that
Fore might give him trouble, wept home
about dark and somewhat sooner than
usual and as he was nearing Fowler's
store he saw two figures in front of him
and voice from one asked, "Is that you,
TramellP" to which he responded "Yes.'
Immediately the elder Fore stepped for
ward and levelled his gun at Tramell's
breast. AS quick as a flash Tramell
drew. from his pocket spinning roll,
which weighed about half pound, the
only weapon he had, and threw that
with great force at Fore, striking him in
the forehead and causing him to lose the
gun. Then Tramell jumped forward,
caught the gun and showed it between
his legs, when one barrel was discharged.
Fore commanded his boy to shoot and
he placed the gun against TramelPs side,
when, with the other hand Tramell se-
cured the other gun and by q supreme
and with the other hand pulled the
other gun from between his legs and, in
attempting to point it forward, the other
barrel was discharged, the load singeing
Tramell's hair and blowing his hat from
his head. Part of the gun wad was later
found in Tramell's hair. With the boys
gun Tramell then struck the elder Fore
and knocked him unconscious and the
boy ran away. Tramell then coolly
walked off and informed persons at a
nearby store that they had better look
after Fore. Both of the Fores were ar.
rested and placed in Jail last night and
this morning were fined 500 or 80 days
on the chaingang, the extreme limit the
city council is allowed, but the case will
DO carried to higher courts by Tramell.
The incident has caused great excitement
and interest and TramelPs wonderful
strength, nerve and oalmness have been
much commented on.

Local Photographers Do Not Be-

LARGER CITIES INCLUDED.

Although a widespread telegraphers'
strike may soon be precipitated, ac-
cording to the announcement being
given to the press at the present time,
local employees of the commercial tele-
graph lines state that Richmond will
not be affected dire city, as local tel
ion. Photographers unions have their
stronghold in the larger cities and but
few cities of Richmond's size have
centralized organizations. OF course
Richmond would be affected indirectly
by transmission of messages into the
cities affected by the strike, if it is
declared. 1t is thought locally that all
the trouble will pass without a strike

GAMES ARE CANCELLED;
GLOOM IN BALL CAMP
Neither Springfield Nor Port

WILL TRY FOR OTHERS

1t appears at the present time that
only one baseball game will be played
in Richmond this week. Monday eve
ming Manager Jessup was notified by
the management of the Springfield
Central league team that the exhibition
game which was to have been played
at Athletic park Thursday, was can
celed. 1t was stated that on that
date Springfield would play off a
postponed game with Terre Haute.
Later Manager Hunt of the Portland
team notified Manager Jessup that his
team would not be here Friday and
Saturday The loss of these three
games, which would have attracted big
crowds, is hard blow to Manager
Jessup and he handed Hunt a few hot
ones over the wire. If some other
team can be booked here for Friday
and Saturday the fans will have base
ball, but it looks like nothing doing.
