FOUR MEN IN PRISON.
Three Whites and One Negro in Jail
Accused of Criminal Assault.

Gainesville, Ca, Aug. 22.-With
the placing in jail here to-day Of
William Golden, a white man, SO
years old, on the charge of criminal
assault, Barlow county jail now
houses four men accused of this
heinous crime-and but one of these
is a negro. Not before in the his
tory of the State has such a condi-
tion existed and an attempt at whole
sale lynching would not be surpris-
ing. Extraordinary precautions, how
ever, have been taken by the officers
to protect the prisoners and the sher.
iff processes to have the situation
well in hand.
Golden is charged with criminally
assaulting a feeble-minded young
white woman near Taylorsville on
July %. Golden disappeared shortly
after the commission of the crime
and was not seen again until last
night when he was arrested and hur-
ried to the Jail here. The details Of
the crime, as told by the victim and
corroborated in part by her sister,
are revolving in the extreme. It is
not doubted that Golden would have
been lynched had he remained in the
vicinity of the crime, great indigna-
ton having been aroused by the girls
story. There is still much excite
ment on account of the crime.
AS Taylorsville was also the scene
of the more recent assault upon an
other white woman, for which John
and r. J. Worthington, white, are be-
ing held in the jail here, the author
tiles are apprehensive lest a mob of
considerable numbers be organized In
that section with a view to storming
the Jail and putting to death the
quartet of alleged criminal assailants.
Howard Stokeley, a negro, is the
fourth man held on this serious
charge. He is charged with assault
ing a 7-year-old negro girl.

IN THE PALMETTO STATE
SOME OCCURRENCES OF VARIOUS
KINDS IN SOUTH CAROLINA.
State News Boiled Down for Quick
Reading-Paragraphs About
Men and Happenings.

The Citizens Social Club, of Or.
angeburg, has also decided to dc
away with the locker system and
obey the prohibition law.
The State Association of Red Shirt
Men was organized at the reunion In
Anderson this week. Col. j. c.
Stribling was elected commander.
Meetings were held in Sumter and
Orangeburg this week to organize
law and order leagues. Rev. Chas. B,
Smith, presiding elder, was one OF
the movers in the Orangeburg meet
ing.
The sheriff's deputies raided the
premises of lone Becky Wilson, y
color not stated, near Allendale
Barnwell county, on Friday and cap
tured four gallons Of whiskey and
wine.
Clarence Frazier, colored, aged 49,
was drowned in the pond at the rock
quarry, two miles from Edgefeld, on
Friday. He could not swim, and
some of his companions threw him in
to teach him how.
A law and order league was or
ganized in Orangeburg Tuesday. A.
w. Summers, Esq, was elected pres
ident; B. H. Moss, vice president; A.
G. Dibble, treasurer; Jno. S. Bow
man, Jr., secretary; and w. L. Glaze,
solicitor.
Both the prohibitionists and dis
pensaryites filed contests in Flor
ence county. Next Tuesday was fix
ed for the hearing. Jno. P. Grace
made a protest in Charleston, but the
county board turned him down. He
will appeal.
Since Orangeburg voted out the
dispensary the Elks club of that city
have adopted a resolution that no IL
quor of any kind shall be kept in
private lockers or otherwise within
any room or place owned or controll-
ed by the lodge.
R. F. Mulligan, policeman, was
caught at the cash drawer of Du-
pres book store in Spartanburg
about $3.50 o'clock Tuesday morning.
Some one had been 'robbing the
store, and another policeman was set
to watch. 1t is said Mulligan will
not be prosecuted.
It is stated that in the coming mu-
nicipal election in the city of Or
angeburg, a full prohibition ticket
will be in the field. A. w. Summers,
Esq, who was county chairman of
the prohibitionists and managed the
recent successful campaign in that
county against the dispensary, is be-
ing spoken of for mayor.
Senator B. R. Tillman made a
speech in Greenville county last
week, and as usual he cussed out the
newspapers, especially the State and
the News and Courier. He said he
was glad to see the State going for
prohibition, and he hoped that the
few counties which now had dispen-
saries would soon vote them out.
The prohibitionists of Richland
county protested the recent dispen-
sary election in that county before
the county board, which met Tues
day. The protest was overruled, and
now the contestants have appealed to
the State board of canvassers, which
meets to-day. The men behind the
protest seem to be determined, and
will carry the matter into the courts
in case the State board decides
against them.

during which he remained secluded
IN the State prison at Trenton, N. j.,
Patrick Quinn, 80 years old, one OF
the men who was recently paroled
by the court of pardons, was freed on
Saturday and excited considerable at
tention in the streets.
He had never before seen automo-
biles or electric trolley cars, and was
.bewildered generally at the changed
appearance of the city since the time
when he was imprisoned for murder
ing his wife.

STRIKE THREATENS
TO COVER FRANCE
Government Faces Menacing
Labor ConditionS-LeaG-
erS Are Watched.

PARIS, April 5.-Labor conditions in
France, particularly in Paris, have
grown so menacing since the govern
ment's weakening in the recent post
mems and telegraphers' strike that to-
day the cabinet IS seeking exhaustive
reports from the police heads and army
commanders as to their ability to com
bat the threatened general strike on
May /.
The big labor demonstration at the
Hippodrome last night, attended by
nearly 10000 agitators. at which the
organization OF a revolution was openly
advocated and a war council appointed
to stir up the movement. is taken seri-
Ously by many Of the government
leaders. Past demonstrations by the
labor leaders have shown that they
are not in the habit Of making threats
until they are prepared to carry out
their plans.
NJ. Pataud, general secretary OF the
Electricians Union, and one of the
leaders in the General Labor Fedora
ton. and others Of the leading agi-
tators, are being constantly Swallowed
by government agents. In this work
the government has introduced a spy
system that rivals that in vogue in
Russia.
As soon as the government feels
itself strong enough 10 resist the
threatened strike, the leaders viii be
arrested. There is enough evidence
against them now, but the authorities
are afraid TO act
Grave fears are entertained as to the
loyalty Of many divisions of the army.
AS a result Of last nights meeting,
II is certain that the governments at
