ONE WOUNDED, OTHER IN JAIL.
Result of Trouble Between Ticket
Collector and Passenger.

Spartanburg, Oct. 19.-W. Y.
wilkins, a liveryman of this city, and
F. w. Johnson, ticket collector of the
Southern Railway, last night got in
to a dispute over ticket. Wilkins
had mileage ticket, for which he
had exchanged mileage. Johnson
asked to see the mileage book.
Words followed and finally Wilkins
showed Johnson his book. Bad feel
ing still existed. After a few mo-
ments of quietude, it is said that
the ticket collector invited Wilkins
to accompany him as far as Char
lotte, where he would take pleasure
in giving him a thrashing. Wilkins
gracefully declined the invitation and
requested the auditor to stop off at
his .hospitable home town, CoWpens,
and that he would endeavor to give
him proper amusement.
The train reached CoWpens and
Wilkins's ticket was no longer good.
Hence he left the train. The auditor
also left the, train and the two met
near the historic battlefield of Revo-
lutionary fame. Eye-witnesses state
that Wilkins hit Johnson twice, and
it is positively known that Johnson
pulled his pistol, and that Wilkins is
in a local hospital suffering from
severe gun-shot wound. A 32-calibre
pistol was used and one shot was
fired. It hit the intended victim in
the left shoulder, ranged downward
and lodged in the muscles near the
heart. It was a close call, but ply
sicians state that he will recover.
Johnson is in jail here.

CLINTON GLOVER CONVICTED.
Charged with Attempted Assault on
st. George White Woman.

ST. George, Oct. 19.-Clinton Glov-
Or, colored, was to-day convicted OF
attempted criminal assault upon a
white woman of this place. The trial
consumed almost the entire day of
the criminal court. The jury, after
being out an hour and half return
ed a verdict of guilty without recon-
mendation to mercy at z o'clock this
evening. Judge Devore will sentence
Glover tomorrow. The penalty is
death upon conviction, for attempted
criminal assault.
The white woman upon whom
Glover is charged with having at
tempted to assault is highly respected
in the community, and when the al
legged crime was committed, on the
night of the 18th Of last August,
feeling ran high. The sheriff had
to spirit the accused negro to Char
lesion for safe keeping. When he
was brought to St. George yesterday
for trial to-day there was no demon
stration pointing to unlawful proceed
ure. Everybody seemed to be will
ing to allow the law to- take, its
course, feeling sure that the prisoner
would get his just deserts.
Glover was represented by two COL
ored lawyers, Daniel Summers, OF
Charleston, and Jacob Moorer, OF
Orangeburg. Solicitor Hildebrand
was assisted in the prosecution by
the Hon. Walker S. Utsey, of st.
George. The defence did not put up
any witnesses; the State put up ten,
some white and some colored. Ten
jurymen were challenged by the de-
fence and two by the State. Five
were excused. The jury which sat
on the case was composed of repre-
sentative men. Attorney Moorer ask
ed the court to direct verdict of not
guilty.
The testimony was to the effect
that on the night of August Is, last,
about 10 O'Clock, negro entered
the home of a highly respected white
woman and attempted an assault up
on her. Several testified they heard
the woman's screams. An examina-
ton of the arm of Clinton Glover, ac-
cording to one witness, revealed the
fact that it bore a fresh scar. On
the window sill of room in the
house in which the assault was at
tempted was found piece of hu-
man skin. The tracks leading from
the place were measured and the
measurement tailed with Glovcr's
foot. Bloodhounds were put on his
trail and he was caught. The sheriff

When to Look for Frost.

The average date for the first kill
ing frost of the fall in this vicinity
is about November 8. That is the
record of the weather bureau at
Columbia. A record for twenty-five
years shows that the earliest date at
which a killing frost was observed
in this section was October 19, 1896,
and during this same period, the
year in which the frost waited long
est to come was 1902, when it was
the 28tf of November before the
deadly crystals appeared on the fields
in this vicinity.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1911-10-26

of the county fearing that the negro
might be lynched, hurried him in a
buggy to Ridgeville and, taking the
train there, carried his prisoner to
Charleston for safety.
Clinton Glover had been around
St. George for several months before
the attempted assault was committed.
He was supposed to have been an es-
capped convict, and he Is said to have
borne an unsavory reputation. One
of the witnesses testified that the ne
gro had been seen hanging about the
premises where the crime was at
tempted all day of August Is.

COTTON SEED FIRE AT CHERAW
Oil Mill Loses Heavily by Early
Morning Blaze.

Cheraw, Dot. 18.-This morning
at 1890 o'clock, as the night shift
went on at the Cheraw Oil Mill, some
of the retiring workmen went to an
adjoining house to sleep, and found
that the seed house was on fire. In
spite of all that could be done it
burned down with all it's contents.
The origin is supposed to have been
spontaneous combustion.
The loss is estimated at about
$4,000, there being about 100000
worth of seed on hand. There was
insurance of $4,000 on the building,
$4,000 on the seed and $1,000 on
the machinery.
