BeSeiged with Birds.

An army of birds, numbering sew
eral thousand, collected in trees at
the home of Mrs. j. E. Sprunt one
day last week and for a while gave
the family considerable annoyance.
The birds came down in clouds lit
orally obscuring the sun and swarm
ing in the tree tops like bees. They
resembled martains and kept up a
loud chattering until they were fl
nally dispersed with gun shots.
Messrs. j. ]. Mckenzie and Jas.
Sprunt fired &c shots into the drove
and killed 500 birds. At each shho
the birds would come down like rain
drops and the ground was covered
with dead birds when the drove was
finally dispersed. The birds were
of a peculiar dark green color and
1t is the first time they have been
seen In this country.

WHITE MAN
ASSAULTS GIRL?
Sprunt Ellis, Well-known

The following is taken from The

Columbia, August 13.-Special:
There may be sensational develop-
ments following the offering OF a
reward OF SIS. by Governor Ansel
this morning for the arrest of
Sprunt Ellis, young white man
from Mullins, section If Marion
County, who is charged with NAL
treating a young white girl. There
is the possibility that Governor An
sci may recall the offer of reward.
although nothing was done this
evening until the matter can be
placed before the Governor in toto.
The matter came up when a peti-
ton signed by a number of promi
nent citizens and forwarded here
with a letter from E. d. Smith. of
Mullins, explaining the circum-
stances as alleged i'll the petition
that the Governor offer a reward
to have Ellis apprehended.
Late this afternoon the Govern
or's office received a letter from
Is. s. Ellis, who is presumably re-
lated to the young man charged
with the alleged crime. This letter
says that the charges against young
Ellis are untrue, that the girl was
not under fourteen, but is sixteen
according to her own statement.
that the young man offered TO mar
ry the girl. but that her folks asked
Tor $4,000, leaving off the marrj
contract. Believing that there
