RUFF1ANS ASSAULT CRIPPLE.
Emmett j. Rodman Roughly Dealt
With on Train.

Chester, April 30.-Mr. Emmett
J. Rodman, son of Mr.. S. A. Rodman,
who is attending Kings Business COL
lege, in Charlotte, was brutally set
upon Saturday evening while a pass
enger on Train No. 27, by Luke and
Roach Jordan, who are said to be
Rock Hill mill operatives.
Young Rodman, who Is a cripple,
and forced to use crutches, was stand
ing on the rear platform Of the train
as it was coming out Of Charlotte,
when the two Jordans and an associ-
ate, whose name is unknown, endeav-
ored to jostle him off the platform.
The young man resisted, and the ruff
fans seized one of his crutches and
pitched it off the train. They then
seized young Rodman, and would
have pitched him bodily off the train,
then moving at speed Of something
like twenty miles an hour, had he not
managed to seize the hand-rail and
save himself. Recovering his balance
the victim of the attack showed his
hand into his pocket as if to draw out
a weapon, and the assailants ceased
their attack. Later young Rodman
went into the coach, and the Jordans
took possession of the platform again,
being finally placed under arrest and
turned over to the Pineville authori-
ties, by. whom they were sent back to
Charlotte.
The two ruffians were before. Re-
corder Smith Tuesday morning, and
were fined $25 each and costs.
Mr.. John Rodman. brother of En-
NETT J. Rodman, was present at the
hearing, and says that the evidence
went to show that the assault lacked
but little of being murder, as the Jor-
dams made efforts to pitch his brother
off the train, which was moving
rapidly, so that a fall under the cir
cumstances would in all likelihood
have proved fatal.

Insurgents Told to Quit Party.

Washington, April 27.-An invi-
tation extended to-day by Senator
Rayner,, of Maryland, to the 'insur-
gent" senators to join the democratic
party was spurned by Senator Dolli-
yer, on behalf of the insurgents. "
This suggestion by Mr.. Rayner fol-
lowed a speech by him in the senate
criticising as unconstitutional some
of the features of the administration
railroad bill. He told the "insur-
gents" that they were out Of sympa-
thy with their party and should en-
brace the principles of democracy.
A lively tilt. ensued when Senator
Bailey, of Texas, advised the 'insur-
gents" to remain in sympathy with the
regular republicans if they desire to
win in the coming election. Other
wise, he SAID. they should join the
democracy.

world that we have here a united
citizenship, standing shoulder to

Last week Congressman Patterson
introduced a bill in congress provid-
ing for public building at Bamberg
to cost $125,000. This shows that
cur representative is right on the
job, and we hope that his efforts in
behalf of this city will be successful.
Bamberg certainly needs better facili-
ties, and we will gladly second the
efforts of Mr.. Patterson in obtaining
the public building. Every citizen
OF the city and county should be in
terested in this project, and should
lend all assistance and encourage
ment to Mr.. Patterson in the fight for
q public building. Of course this
matter will take time, but there is
no reason why Bamberg should not
have a handsome public building.

Jefferson City, Mo-, May 2.-J. A,
Campbell, a wealthy farmer Of Nor
gan county, and his daughter, Mrs
Mabel Addison, were held to the
federal grand jury here to-day under
$1,000 bonds to answer charge OF
conducting fraudulent matrimonial
scheme.
Search of Mrs. Addison's rooms
at her fathers home, by postoffice in
spectors, brought to light more than
four hundred letters from men in all
parts of the United States, Canada
and Mexico. Seevral of the letters
had contained sums of money running
from IS to $50 for wedding outfit.
Campbell inserted an advertise
ment in a matrimonial paper about
six months ago, giving the name ol
Nora Johnson. The advertisement
was so successful that the postofice
authorities became suspicious, be-
cause of the many letters, and the ar.
rests followed.
Campbell confessed to-day, but said
he inserted the advertisement "just
for fun" and that the replies came
so fast he was unable to return the
money as fast as it came in.
Mora Johnson" was supposed. to
be II years DID,, an orphan, and heir
ess to $4,000 in year. Campbell j.:
62 years old.

This is the season Of the year
when many. people think they have
the privilege of plowing up the pub
lie roads, to the great discomfort and
inconvenience of the travelling pub
He, If some of these violators of the
law we're prosecuted and heavily
fined, it would put stop to the
practice. It is against the law to
plaw into the public roads, and our
officials should take the matter in
hand and prosecute those who are
guilty of such reprehensible practice

There is nothing that calls atten-
tion and draws people to town equal
to a good newspaper. In order for a
man to make a good newspaper he
must have the patronage of the peo-
pie among whom he lives. If he has
halfway support it stands to reason
that he must make poor paper, and
in doing this every man in the town
and surrounding country has to bear
a portion of the loss. For this rea-
son, if for no other, the man who tries
to make a good newspaper should
have the support of his town people,
all of whom reap fully as much bene-
fit from it's efforts as he does himself.

Mule Knocks Out Locomotive.

Marshall, Mo-, April l8.-Despite
the efforts of the engineer, who re.
versed the locomotive, Missouri Pa.
cific passenger train No. |, north.
bound, iostled a mule on tie right ol
way a few miles east of Sedalia, and
now it is in the shop for repairs. The
mule is enjoying its usual good
health.
The mule, driven by farmer to a
light wagon, baked on the tracks,
and no amount Of persuasion could
bulge it until the train bore down
upon the anchored outfit. The mule
decided to vacate when almost too
late, and some projection on the en-.
gine's pilot pulled a piece Of the
mules harness off.
In a flash the mule doubled I'D and
let fly with its heals, landing on a
steam cock and breaking Il of. The
engine went dead and a wait Of sew.
eral hours ensued before another
was dispatched to pick up the strand

the Republicans won't know they

Did You Ever Try These?

X. C. Post.
When haggard from fatigue, try a
hot bath in which a little vinegar and
cologne have been added.
A few chopped almonds added to
the top of sweetened biscuit are very
good and make pleasant change.
Washing the eyes morning and
night with water as hot as can be
borne is an excellent tonic for them.
Never take a hot bath in the MORN
ing, unless it is followed by cold
sponge, or you will catch cold.
If shoes have become mildewed,
rub them well with vaseline. This
will usually remove all traces of the
green.
Boiled or roasted meat which is to
be used cold should be put away in a
wet cloth to keep it most and tender.
When ivory becomes discolored,
paint it with spirits of turpentine and
lay in the sun two or three hours.
A lump Of charcoal kept in the
drawer with the silver will absorb
any chance moisture and keep the
silver bright.

PH0NY PATRIOTISM.

Now come letters from New York
warning the authorities at Washing
ton OF plot to dynamite the statue
of General Robert E. Lee, which has
been placed in the statuary hall by
the state of Virginia.
The motives of the parties partici-
pating in plot of this sort may prop
erly be classed with that of the Sena-
tor from Idaho who short time ago
made vitrolic attack upon propo-
sition to lend a few government tents
to an ex-Confederate encampment,
and who was very properly rebuked
by the Senate as body and his COL
legue in particular.
In neither case is there motive of
patriotism to be found, but simply
the blind sectional prejudice of small
minds which fail to comprehend out
side OF their own ken.
Senator Hepburn tacitly acknowl-
edged that he was not a participant
in the Civil or any other war, and it
is doubtful if the deep dark plotters
of New York have ever smelled gun
powder unless possibly in some of
their carousals on the bowery they
have been compelled to shoot some
victim in the rear in order to ap-
propriate his bank roll.
In direct contrast to these patriot
ism" for grand stand purposes only
exhibitions, come dispatches from
Fl. Worth, Texas, to the effect that
Parmly Post, G. A. R. Department of
Texas adopted resolutions expressing
indignation that those Confederate
veterans able to earn their living
should be excluded from the Confed-
crate Home Of the state (on account
of insufficient funds to maintain alb
and proposing as "a post to stand
our pro-rata in taking care of the old
Southern soldiers.
Thus are we permitted to, compare
with the maGnamious generosity Of
the victorious soldiers the, unreason-
able bitterness of the non-combatant
who from sectional prejudice would
harass a fallen foe.
Judge for yourself-wherein lies
patriotism. ~
