= Saluda, November "a: A mad dog
passing through this town Saturday
morning created quite commotion.
After he had bitten several dogs he was
followed and killed. His movements
for the twenty-four hours previous
have been traced and It Is learned
that besides biting numbers Of dogs,
geese, turkeys and hogs in the Eliis
section Of the county and between here
and there, he bit the little 10-year-old
daughter of Brown Butler. The child
was out In the yard when the dog ran
into some geese near by. The child
went around the house to see what was
causing the comrnotion. The dog at
once jumped on her and fastened his
teeth In her face. II is very probable
her face would have been lacerated
much worse had not Buffers dog ran
up. and seizing the rabid dog. made
him loose his hold on the child.

port that the negro lynched In Cairo,
H., some time ago was a well known
Greenwood negro, Is now ascertained
to be incorrect City Clerk w. g. CAL
houn is just in receipt Of letter from
the negro, Will James, dated at Evans
ton, Ind, Nov. IS, acknowledging re-
ceipt Of tax receipts on some lots the
negro owns here. In the letter he
says: II am very sorry to hear from
my good white folks that they Is think
ing I am linched. Don't they know
am a better man than that for know
my right hand from my left. To let
you know this is me, don't you know
had a long talk with you and sheriff
Mcmillan about" This conversation
was mentioned to prove his identity.
He further says: II am sorry that you
all think am linched. Tell all the
good friends I am not linched. Now
good by my good friend. I hope to see
you soon" Greenwood county was not
anxious to set up claim
as the home Of the Cairo fiend and Is
therefore as axnious as Will himself to
see him right.
