ONE FIEND IN JAIL.
And Another Being Chased by an
Angry Crowd.

With William Webb, the negro
who criminally assaulted Mrs. EXy
Brown several weeks ago, in the jail
at Marietta, Ga, strongly guarded,
the tense excitement following the
opening of his trial was increased
when, shortly after 6 o'clock, an un-
known negro attempted to criminally
assault Mrs. ]. w. Hicks, wife Of
an engineer of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad. 1t is admitted
that even suspect of this latter
crime would be in danger Of being
lynched if captured.
Mrs. Hicks was preparing to put
her little baby to bed, when a negro
who had concealed himself under
her bed grabbed her by the ankle
She screamed and managed to free
herself from the clutches Of the
negro, Notwithstanding that part of
her clothing was torn from her body.
Frightened by the screams of Mrs.
Hicks the negro ran from the house.
Fearing lest an attempt be made
to lynch the negro Webb, the sheriff
declined to withdraw his deputies
from the Jail in order to try and
effect the capture Of the assailant
Of Mrs. Hicks. However, an armed
posse is securing the surrounding
country for him.

News From Norway.

This section has been visited BY
very heavy rains during the lasi
week, which damaged a great deal
of the fodder throughout this sec.
ton. 1 think everybody would be
glad to see some fair weather now
There is some cotton opening in
this section. We all hope when it
is ready to sell the farmers will gel
a good price for it. Some cotton
in this section is not as good as last
years crop. The late corn and cot
ton which was planted after oats
was gathered are looking very
prosperous throughout this country,
and we trust they will continue so.
We hope the people throughout
the county will come out on the day
of the election to vote for prohi-
bition.

Could Not Be Baptized.

The ST. Matthews correspondent
Of The News and Courier says "a
very peculiar and unusual incident
occurred at Gethsenanee church last
Sunday afternoon. AS result of a
protracted meeting there were eight
admissions to the rolls. There be-
ing no baptismal pool about the
church, all arrangements were made
for the immersion at Herlongs Mill,
near by. The converts, with their
numerous friends, were on hand,
and as the minister was making
ready to proceed the mill dam broke,
and there was nothing left but a
shallow brook. This necessitated
postponement until the damage
could be repaired The disappoint-
ment was somewhat alleviated by
the totally unexpected marriage on
the spot of Mr.. Grover Cleveland
Heckle and Miss Zeigler, from
Elloree. The ceremony was per-
formed by the Rev. Bascom Her

A Farmer on Farms.

A farmer writing to Farm and
Factory says, THE farmers are sell
ing their cotton right along, which
to my opinion, is the wrong thing
to do. If they would be contented
to wait until fall, we would get a
fancy price, but We find the farmers
a very hard class of people to unite.
They pull against each other and
against their own interest, while the
merchants and all other business
men will unite and pull together.
No wonder We poor farmers are poor
and in debt. We justly deserve it,
for We have brought it on ourselves,
when we could be the most indepen-
dent people in the world"

THE COTTON CROP
THE CROP HAS SUFFERED Sc
VERELY IN WEST TEXAS
From Drouth, and it is Very Doubt
full If Rains Could Now Repair

the Damage.
Moderate showers fell over north
ern and eastern Texas on Saturday
and Sunday. No other rains of con-
sequence fell during .the week, and
the crop suffered severely. Central
and middle west Texas is exceedingly
dry, and it appears doubtful if rains
now could repair more than q part
of the loss that has been sustained.
Owing to the very dry, hot wealth
er, the plant is shedding, and the
bolls are beginning to open. With
continuing drouth, considerable cot
ton will be ready for the pickers
in ten days or two weeks. In Sec
tions where rain fell the crop was
benefited, although in some of the
territory the precipitation was light,
and entirely insufficient to put a
Season" in the ground. Fair crops
are promised in eastern and western
counties. The great central belt
has suffered most severely.
Outside of Texas the entire wes-
tern belt, with the exception Of
southern Louisiana, is in need of
moisture. In Oklahoma the progress
of the crop has been arrested and
rain is imperative to prevent deteri-
Grafton.
In Mississippi rains were scatter
ed and insufficient, a general rain
being badly needed. In all States
east of the Mississippi, the rainfall
was abundant, and with the excep-
tion Of North Carolina, where some
excess fell, was beneficial. The crop
in Alabama has improved wonder
fully and in South Carolina and
Georgia promises we'll.

DEATH OF MRS. HUDGINS
In Charleston Causes Sorrow to
Many in This City.

The Orangeburg correspondent of
The News and Courier says the news
of the death at Charleston Sunday
night of Mrs. George E. Hudgins was
received here by large number Of
relatives and friends with profound
sorrow. - She had been seriously Ill
for some time, and her life despair
ed of, yet to those who knew and
loved her the tidings of her taking
of came as a shock. -,
Mrs. Hudgins before her marriage
was Miss Rosa Wannamaker, the
second daughter Of the Rev. and
Mrs. T. Elliott Wannamaker, and
sister of Mrs. Jefferson D. Keller.
Messrs. T. H, W. w. and DR.. E.: j.
Wannamaker, Of this city, and MIR
Theodore E. Wannamaker, Of Che
raw, all of whom survive her. She
leaves also husband and several
children, -
She was woman OF loyable dis
position, and strong character, and
will be missed by3all who knew her.
Here, the deepest sympathy goes out
in spontaneous flow to the aged par
ents, who are called upon to mot IN
the death of a loved daughter, the
third to be taken in full woman
hood in only. a few years:
The remains Of Mrs. Hudgins were
laid to rest in Magnolia Tues day

DOING GOOD WORK
THE STATE LABORATORY OF
VERY GREAT VALUE.
The State of South Carolina Now
Provides for the Examination of
Patients Blood.

Provides for the Examination OF
Patients Blood.
The Columbia State says the State
laboratory is proving Of very great
value to the people of South Carroll
ma. Each day the calls upon it for
service increase in number, and DR..
Coward is kept busy making tests
for physicians from almost every
part of the State For instance,
yesterday mornings mail brought II
letters, all relating to ibacteriologi-
cal tests.
In the mail come letters inclos-
ing slips of paper with drop or
two of dried blood thereon 1t is
put up to DR.. Coward to tell what
micro organisms inhabit 1t and
thereby determine the disease of the
patient from whom the blood is
taken.
Some OF these specimens yield
negative results. Some show the
tubercle organism that proves con-
sumption beyond dispute. Most of
the samples and tests are for these
two diseases.
It gives one a creepy sensation to
look through the lens and find the
focus on some fellow human crea-
lures possible death warrant in the
form Of miniature, pinkish rod-like
animalcule known as the tuDerculo-
sis bacillus.
DR.. c.. F. Williams, secretary of
the State board of health, has his
Headquarters at the State labora-
tory, and he and DR.. Coward work
together. Dr. Williams says that it
is gratifying to learn in his trips oy-
er the State how much the State
laboratory is appreciated not only by
the physicians but by citizens gen.
orally.
DR.. Williams says that iE another
year it will be necessary to have an
assistant in the laboratory. Among
other functionaries under the direc-
ton of the State board Of health, he
desires that there shall be a compe-
tent engineer to inspect the condi-
tions under which factory buildings
are erected in South Carolina, and
he wishes to see statute enacted
that will make it necessary for plans
of all such buildings to be submit
ted to the engineer and passed upon
before the building Is authorized to
be constructed.
He says that mill owners as a rule
are anxious to comply with the re-
quirements Of correct sanitation, but
being unfamiliar with details they
make mistakes, and that they would
hail this project with favor. He had
occasion to call on certain mill man
agements, and going through the
factories pointed out deficiencies
which the managements said would
be remedied; and that it was to be
regretted that they were not appris-
ed of these details before the build
ings were erected.

"The scattered rains of the last

crate temperatures. This was the

Does Prohibition Hurt Business?

Mr.. M. o. Riley, North, S. c.
Dear Sir: Entirely aside from
any moral standpoint, believe that
the business interest of Spartanburg

vanced by the abolishment of the
dispensary. Frankly I think that
the argument, 1T will hurt busi-
ness" distinctly out Of date.
OF course there is still, and Will
probably always be, some illegal sell
ling, but the general condition has
in my judgment been distinctly ele-
vated.
This is equally true as to the

temperance is distinctly on the de-
crease.

gained perceptible headway. When
the final barrier of rocks was passed
the rescue party found twelve hud-
died forms close together, the bodies
indicating that the men had died of
suffocation.
Nine Inspector Williams is Of the
opinion that the explosion was caused
