NEGROATTEMPTSASSAULT
CHILD OF j. H. SANDIFER THE IN
TENDED VICTIr1.
rlother Prevents Crime and Wounds
Negro-Boy Confessed and
is i'm Penitentiary.

An attempted criminal assaultupon
the 6-year-old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. johnson H. Sandifer, who live
at 1920 Lady street, resulted In an
exciting chase by the police after
Antley Robinson, negro boy, his
SUBSEQUENT capture and removal to
the State penitentiary. The details
of the affair show a remarkable ten
dency toward criminal life by the
boy, who is only IL years of age, but
the shocking and sickening details
are of little public interest, partly on
account of the youth Of the negro,
and on account of the nature OF the
attempted crime. ,
Robinson, whose mother worked
in the house, attacked the little girl,
whose mother was attracted by the
screams. The boy ran as soon as he
heard the mother coming and al
though caught, wrenched away from
her grasp and started out Of the yard:
He was struck by a brick hurled
by the mother of the child and a long
cash cut in his head.
AS soon as possible the police were
notified and several officers put on
the trail. Officers Marsh and Hough
and R. O. Thackman of the county
constabulary traced his movements
to the upper part of the city and he
was finally seen on east Lumber
street. From here he was chased
out the old Asylum road to the dairy
on the property of the State Hospital
for the Insane, where he surrendered.
He was taken to the police station,
where he admitted the crime and at
forwards it was thought best to take
him to the penitentiary fer safe
keeping. There was no excitement
over the matter and all concerned
are satisfied to let the law take its
course.
Mr.. and Mrs. Sandifer are origin
ally from Bamberg county but moved
here recently from Gastonia, where
they spent some time. While the COM
munity was wrought up over the at
fair for awhile, the news that the
boy had been caught satisfied all that
he would be properly punished.
Court convenes here one week from
Monday. The accused will be given
a speedy trial. The grief-stricken
father of the child came to the State
Office last night to request the with.
holding of the crime. He expressed
regret that he had been unable to
catch the negro boy before the po-
lice got him. 81 would have left
life in him." said Mr.. Sandifer, "but
I would have given him terrible pun
ishment and suffering; an example
to others of his race"
The confession of Antley Robinson
disposes of his case. and the trial
will be but matter of form.-Co-
lumbia State.

BY the way, let's build that cotton
warehouse in Bamberg this summer
and have it ready for the fall crop
of cotton. The commission to
organize was obtained some months
ago, but the scheme fell through be-
cause of lack of subscriptions to the
capital stock. This is a matter for
the merchants and business men to
take hold of, and they are losing
money and business as long as they
put off the building of warehouse.
A desirable location can be secured
at a reasonable price, the money is
here, and there is no reason why the
enterprise should not succeed. Let's
get to work at once.

Vouchsafe Us SurceaSe.

The following clipping was handed
us few days ago by gentleman In
town. We do not know what paper
it was clipped from, being sent to
our friend by a New York house:
The sentiment of business is more
hopeful, although the number of
failures and the amount of money in
volved is appalling. The better feel
ing is due to the increasing ease in
time money and the response accord
ed to applications for large loans on
the part of the railroads. As the
conviction grows that Mr.. Roosevelt
is not to succeed himself conditions
will probably improve. Except for
the actual and intrinsic damage and
destruction which he has wrought
there is really nothing to retard re-
covery except the widespread and de-
moralizing apprehension that he may
seize upon another term. 1t is, un-
happily only too true that Mr..
Roosevelt's word carries little weight
with the general public. This is due
doubtless to his indecent proclivity
for calling people liars upon made
quate provocation. Hence the fact
that, his disavowals of an intention
to serve another term create uneasi-
ness instead of reinsurance.
If it shall turn out that MIR. Taft
or any of his fellow candidates re-
ceives the nomination at Chicago
public sentiment will undergo a
most beneficial change. Indeed, the
improvement already noted is due
solely to the anticipation or dis
counting" of that contingency. Mr..
Roosevelt hangs like a pail Of death
over the business initiative and
energy of the whole country.
Only the Hrepressible optimism of
American character sustains anima-
ton and keeps the machinery of af-
fairs in motion.
Should Mr.. Taft be nominated that
event will be followed by a. week or
two of keen anxiety as to what the
convulsive deliberations Of the Dem
ocrats shall result in at Denver. So
much doubt has been cast by Mr..
Roosevelt and his associates upon Mr..
Taft's strength and availability as to
impart probably fictitious impor-
tance to the possible nomination of
Mr.. Bryan. This should rapidly di-
minish as a better knowledgeis gain
ed of the hopeless disruption and con-
fusion prevailing in the Democratic
ranks. So far they have not betray-
ed the least evidence of either desire
or ability to get back their deserters.
In 1904 perhaps two million Dem
ocrats voted the Republican ticket,
and as matters stand now they are
likely to do it again next November.
It is a great national misfortune.
The natural and traditional principles
of Democracy are needed in our gov
eminent at this time as they never
were needed before. That this griev-
GUS and evil lack may but little
longer afflict us may an Almighty
Providence graciously vouchsafe!

Brother Smoak, of the Walter
boro Press and Standard, in speak
ing of The Bamberg Herald's new
building, says it is encouraging to
know that one country weekly is
making so much money. We must
correct him with regret. We are
not making any money, and we have
never received the patronage we de-
served. We only have lot of nerve,
and this is the explanation of the
new building and equipment.

TALKED TOO MUCH.
Juror Said He Would Convict Regard
less of Testimony.

COLUMBIA, May 21-In the case of
Will Foster under sentence of death
at Spartanburg for the murder Of a
white man named John Young, the
supreme court to-day filed an unusual
order granting a suspension of the
appeal in the case in order to allow
Fosters attorneys to move for a new
trial in the circuit court on the
grounds that one of the jurors. Jesse
Mahaffey, said before the trial that
he would convict the negro regard
less Of the testimony. There were
several affidavits from persons who
heard him make this statement al
though Mahaffey declares he was
only jesting.
Mahaffey is a former member of
the legislature and Methodist
preacher.

RHEUMATISM
CAUSED BY
DYSPEPSIA
So Claim Many Eminent Doctors
Upon Recent Scientific
Investigation.

A large school Of physicians which is constan
ly increasing claims that the eating OF too much
animal foods creates an over supply OF proteids
which composed OF carbon, hydrogen, nitro
gen. oxygen and sulphur. and that when such
proteids are imperfectly digested and 60 into the
blood they create vast quantities OF nitrogen
which the oxygen from the lungs cannot neutral
ize and hence results uric acid and rheumatism
and scores of other diseases.
These proteids do not permit the assimilation
processes to take PLACE properly and poisoning
results all through the blood.
However. IL such prOteids are perfectly digested
they form 4 most valuable part Of our food and
absolutely necessary to life.
The fault then rests with the stomach and the
digestive apparatus.
Hence 1t is claimed by these latter day au-
thorities that rheumatism arises in the stomach
or through the stomach. and not in the kidneys.
