Girl Withdraws Charges.

Rome, Ca, Sept. 1s.-Declaring
that she was driven by the lash of
conscience to tell the truth after hav-
ing perjured herself on the witness
stand, where her testimony secured
the conviction of Jack Worthington,
a Barlow county farmer, to 20 years
in the penitentiary on the charge of
criminal assault, Rosa Elrod, the al
legged victim, to-day made a sensa-
tional affidavit in which she says her
story of the assault was pure fabri-
cation.
The girl, accompanied by her faith
er, appeared to-day before notary
and the attorneys for Worthington
and denied her whole story. She ad-
mitted having illicit relations with
Worthington but said they were by
consent and that he was engaged to
marry her. Her father, J. S. Elrod,
swore she made the same confession
to him.
Both father and daughter declared
that the girls testimony at the trial
was caused by threats of death to the
girl, made by enemies of Worthing-
ton who had discovered his relations
with the Elrod girl and wanted him
lynched or jailed.
Worthington's attorneys will use
the afhdavits in motion for ne Y
trial now pending in the appellate
court.

Young Man Killed by Train.

Spartanburg, Sept. 1S.-Glover
Acton, 19 years old, employee at the
Spartan mills, was struck By passen-

railway near the Green street cross
ing this afternoon at o'clock and
instantly killed. His skull was
crushed, his neck broken, his left
arm broken and the wall of his left

1t seems that the young man was
standing on the track of the passen-

South. He did not notice the pass
enger coming until it was too late to
get aut of the way. He made one
step to get off the track when he was
struck. He had been standing on
the passenger track for half min
ute or less when he was hit. There
were several eye-witnesses to the
tragedy.

SEIZE ANOTHER BIG STILL.
Officers Capture Large "Tussac'
Plant in Edisto River Swamp.

Aiken, Sept. 15.-Another of the
"big stills" of the South Edisto river
swamp is in the Aiken jail yard, hav-
ing been brought here last night by
Officers Samuels, Cato and Holley.
The still was a large one, the capacl-
ty being about 12O gallons OF
mash"
Mr.. Samuels received information
a few days ago that Kinney Monday
white man, was in the business.
The information was based, it is said,
on Monday carrying molasses from
the Windsor depot. Subsequently
Constables Samuels, Cato and Holley
left yesterday, armed with search
warrants, for Mondays house, which
was searched. Nothing but empty
Jugs and bottles were found. A
search of the premises not revealing
any whiskey, it was continued into
the adjacent swamp. A path from
the house was followed into the
swamp, and short distance from the
house the still was found, still steam
ing after a big "stilling bee' had
taken place. The big basin and the
worm was loaded on the buggy,
while six fermenters and neeck
stand we're demolished. 1t is said
that this still is one of the most IA
nous of the Edisto swamp, having,
it is alleged, been in operation for 20
years.
The distilled goods could not be
located, but all appurtenances were
destroyed. This still was found at a
point that has not been raided with
a year, 16 miles from Aiken, near
Pine Log bridge.
Monday raised quite fuss about
the officers searching his house, but
made no resistance.
This is the eighth still that has
been captured within a years time
by the Aiken county officers. Aiken
is to be congratulated upon having
the diligent dispensary officers that
she has, as they are terror to the
blind tiger element, and by their
good works the violations of the law
are kept within a small sphere.

SHOOTING WAS AN ACCIDENT.
An Account of the Wounding of Joe
PadQett.

Atlanta, Sept. 13.-As a result of
a playful prank of a friend with a
pistol which he thought empty, Joe
o. Padgett, ticket seller for the
Haags dog and pony show, lies at
the Grady hospital with a danger
Gus wound through his right lung.
The accident occurred in Pull
man sleeper on a side track at FL
berton, Ca, yesterday morning about
8 o'clock, the show having an en-
gagement at that town. The pistol
was picked up from bunk in the
car by Frank MCGUIRE, the general
manager Of the show, and playtully
pointing it at Padgett, pulled the
trigger.
To the utmost horror of Mcclure,
there was an explosion and Padgett
fell back unconscious. Drs. johnson
and Thompson, of Elberton, were
called in and the bullet was located
in the back, the wound leading
straight through the right lung. The
two physicians, wishing to have the
best of facilities for treating Padgett,
brought him on a Seaboard passen--
ger train to Atlanta, arriving here at
4 O'Clock.
The ambulance met Padgett at
the depot and, with the assistance of
several local PHYSICIANS, a second
operation was performed at the hos
pital. While the wound is not i'm
mediately of mortal nature, con-
siderable doubt is felt as to the out
come. Padgett is native of Bam-
berg, S. c., and has been with the
show for three years.
