From Saturdays Daily
Another unspeakable crime was
committed last night, when Mrs.
Clara Erwin Of ILL Hayne street, was
crininally assaulted. by a colored
man, shortly after o'clock, in the
vicinity of the Vine street bridge.
Leroy Edwards, colored, an en-
ploye of the packing house is in the
county jail charged with the crime.
He was positively identified by Mrs.
Edwin after the negro had been ar
rested at his home on Hayne street
by officer Tom Holland and taken to
the police station Mrs. Erwin with
out hesitation said, your are the
man."
Early In the Evening.
The crime happened shortly after
work had ceased at the packing plant.
at point on Hayne street, below
Vine street, near the pickle works.
This part Of the street is sparsely
populated and the path taken by Mrs.
Erwin was through vacant lot.
The first warning she had of the
approach of any one was when some
one placed his hand on her shoulder
from the rear and said Come with
me sister" Too scared to scream at
first and later with the mans hands
over her mouth the woman was car
r1ed short distance to an out Of the
way place where the man drawing a
knife. said that he would drive it to
the hilt in her body if she attempted
to scream. She refrained from do
ing so.
Mrs. ErWin's Story.
The story is best told in Mrs. Err
wins own words as told to a Courier
reporter this morning:
81 was returning from town shortly
after z o'clock in the evening and
went east on Main to Vine street
where turned south to the point
where Hayne street crosses Vine. At
this point felt that was being
followed or at least some man was
behind me from Main street although
was unable to see whether he was
black or white and as he disappear
ed at this point l dismissed the
thought and turning east on Hayne
street continued on my way home

Lonely Place.
II had proceeded some distance
distance along Hayne street, which
for some length below Vine, as you go
toward the pickle works. is very lone
some and sparsely built. The path
along here that is usually taken is
through vacant plat of ground and
saves considerable walking that would
otherwise be necessary if one takes the
sidewalk along the road. In following
this path one has to cross some Of the
Burlington railroad tracks used for
storage and switching purposes, and |
had just crossed the first track and
was near the second one, which is a
short distance away, when some one
whose tread in the snow l did not
hear. placed his hands on my
shoulders, saying, Come and go with

In many ways they strove to make

"Look here!' he said. "I've been
insulted in this club! A man offered
me a hundred pounds if I'd esign

children, is sufficient appeal to every
heart.
Some years ago it was suggested by
Rev. Howard Crumley of Atlanta,
Ga, that on the first Saturday and
Sabbath Of October, all those who
love children set apart those days for
gathering funds to relieve the needs
or the fatherless. On that Saturday,
let everybody old and young, rich and
poor, devote the day to the Orphan
ages, each man sending his gift to the
Orphanage he loves the best or that
lies nearest his heart. The Georgia
scheme worked we'll. For several
years an effort has been made to
rouse an equal interest in South Car
olina. and Alabama and Florida have
also taken it up. In every commun-
ity some Jealous brother might take
up the matter and push it and the
days work from everybody would 60
to the orphans. This proposition is
not in the interest Of any one orph-
anage; it is intended for each one to
give to the orphanage nearest his
heart. Give Saturdays wages to the
orphans. Gather the proceeds on the
Sabbath and forward to the institu-
tions above named It will be sure to
reach the right spot, if drafts and
checks are made out to the name of
the institution itself and provisions
shipped to the same. We have no
doubt that when an individual COM
munity makes special request Of the
railway authorities, flour and rice
and molasses or any other products
would find them willing to deliver
without charge.
Notice that this is simply state
ment. Urgent appeals are not nec-
essarv. The orphans need help. The
institutions are unable to give it,
without the backing Of the people. At
this season all their treasures are
greatly depleted. Do not overlook the
day.

\Senator-elect E. D. Smith in a
speech to the farmers at Spartanburg
on Saturday said he would, if it could
be done, have the government report
the cotton in the warehouses so that
the farmers could know. The govern
ment has paid agents in each county
to report the cotton that is ginned
and tie condition Of the crops so
that the speculator may know just
what the farmer has but the infor-
nation to the farmer as to the
amount Of cotton in warehouses and
in the hands Of the manufacturers is
never given. It keeps the farmer in
ignorance. Mr.. Smith is right. 1t is
the contention We have made for some
time.

President Harris of the Farmers
Union issues an address to the cotton
producers which is printed in this is
sue of The Herald and News. He
urges wherever it is possible that the
cotton grower hold his cotton for a
higher price. He states that he has
been in q number >of the cotton pro-
ducing States and that the crop is
short. Not only is this crop short
but the crop Of 1907 was short. He
urges all business interests in the
South to cooperate with the cotton
farmer and help him t. make the
present WELD profit above the cost
of production. Of course, this will
help all lines. Of business because it
will bring more money to the South.
Mr.. Harris, however, in closing his
address suggests a fact which we
have preached for many years, and
only by the observance Of this tact
can a Southern cotton producer be-
come independent and demand and
command a profitable price for his
cotton. It is now time for the farmer
to begin to get ready to put himself
in this position and we hope that
every farmer in Newberry county will
take note of what Mr.. Harris says.
Every farmer knows this already.
Here it is:
"How is the grower Of cotton to
become able to maintain 4 profitable
price? First, he must diversity his
crops, and now is the time to begin
for another year. Sow oats, wheat,
crimson clover. vetch, rye and barley.
You will need it next spring to feed
your stock. Instead of buying, raise
your horses, mules, COWS, hogs and
corn.
"Quit buying hay to kill grass, to
raise cotton, to buy more hay with.
Make home self-supportipg and self
sustaining, and prosperity is yours. y

Hail Carolina! fair among thy sisters,
Throughout thy length the voice Of
