The War Game.

War is an extremely simple game.
A number of armed men are sicked
upon another body of armed men, and
they engage in the highly exciting and
diverting sport of manning and STAY
ing one another. The contestant which
can slaughter the most combatants
and starve the most non-combatants
is adjudged the winner. Simple, is it
not?

William Randolph Hearst was
branded as an enemy Of organized Ia

Against this attack, James NJ. Lynch,

the largest employer OF union labor

Negro attempts to Assault Thirteen
Year OLD White Girl and Shoots a

| PufSuer.
A dispatch from Hampton says
Dave Rivers, negro fend, attempted
to criminally assault thirteen-year-
cid white girl, the daughter Ct far
mer living about three miles from
that town, about half-past one o'clock
Tuesday afternoon.
The young girl was choked and
her clothes torn into shTeds. 1t
seems as if the girls father, who runs
small commissary for his farm,
near his house, was away from the
house, in a field about three hundred
yards from the store, when the at
tempt at assault took place. The
mother was not at the house at the
time. 1t seems that the negro Rivers
went to the house and asked to buy
some shells for his shotgun, out OF
the store. The young girl went into
the ccmmissary and sold the man the
shells, some candy and several other
small articles.
Then it was, she says, that he
choked and attempted to assault her,
but the screams Of the terrorized vic
tim brought her father running. The
negro became frightened and escaped
from the furious father into bay
near the farm. The alarm soon
spread. Two deputy sheriifs, two
magistrates, several constables and
about one hundred men started in
pursuit Of the negro, who, it is
claimed, has been located il a bay
near the scene Of the crime.
Just after sundown, .Mr. J. Reid
Fits, one Of the party who was
searching for the negro in the bay,
in which they had located him, sud
denly came upon Dave Rivers and
was shot by him with shotgun load
ed with bird shot, the wound inflicted
being in the right side, and it is not
thought to be dangerous.s The negro
was about seven feet away from MI.
Fits when the shot was fired through
q clump of bushes. Mr.. Fits. is q
prominent business man Of Hampton,
and this unfortunate turn to the al
ready horrible crime is deeply de-
plored.
| A farmer living on the adjoining
plantation furnished the information
that negro answering the descrip-
ton of Rivers, with gun, had passed
through MS yard and had gone into
the bay, where he is now thought to
be. The country round about is
stirred up over the attemptet assault,
and the faces Of the men around the
scene Of the crime wear determined
look. If the negro is caught it is the
opinion of people here that he will
never see a Jail. The family Of the
girl who was attacked is widely con
nected and well known Throughout:
this country.

Mercy, But Laud Roosevelt as the
Foremost Citizen Of the World.

A call for the foremost citizen Of
the world, Theodore Roosevelt to
bear the standard OF the Republican
party in the struggle for the presi-
dency next year was voiced at the
banquet Monday night at Youngs-
town, Ohio, of the Garfield club Of
the nineteenth congressional district
OF Ohio.
John J. Sullivan, former United
States district attorney, was the
speaker who named Col. Roosevelt
for the nomination of his party. His
speech was made at the clubs an
nual celebration OF the anniversary
OF the birth of the late President
James A. CART ED, who attended cor
gress from this district.
Concluding an arraignment Of Mr..
Taft, as president Mr.. Sullivan said:
ITO the president, the Republican
party and the American people are
now sounding in his unwilling ears
the tocsin OF the recall from power
and are awaiting his return to pri-
vate life with the open arms of a
! hearty welcome"
Answering his own inquiry as to
who should lead the party in 1912,
the speaker said: ''1f I mistake not
the prevailing sentiment Of the
masses, their eyes are turned towards
! faithful friend who has been tested
and tried and found true, whost
heart beats are in rhyme with the
pulse beats OF humanity everywhere,
