Rockbridge County Sends 81, 400 to
Democratic Committee

Rockbridge county, so far as can
be ascertained. has made the larc est
contribution to the Democratic Ma
tiopal Committee of any county in
Virginia Last Saturday a check
for 81, 300 was sent to the commit
tee. This amount was raised after
a weeks canvass in response to a
proposition from a resident OF this
community, who said he would con-
tribute four dollars for every one
raised by the Wilson and Marshall
Club OF Rockbridge, up to $3.50. The
finance committee of the club got
busy and in a few days they had
raised the required amount, eve1
exceeding the $3.50. The gentleman
who so generously promised the four
fold contribution promptly came
across" with his thousand dollars.
Following is the report OF the mat
ter sent out from Lexington to the
daily press:
The Wilson Marshall Club OF
Rockbridge county. through its
treasurer, Mr.. T. S. Burwell, today
forwarded TO the Hon. Rolla Wells.
treasurer of the Democratic Nation
al Committee. his check for 81 300. 0C
as a contribution from the Demo
Gratis of this county to the Nationa
campaign fund.
1T is believed that this 10 tht
largest fund sent from any county
in the State, up to this time, TO tn,
National Committee. 1t is the re
suit of the intense interest of the
ROckbridge Democrats in Mr.. vii

which it represents.

Negro Put in Jail This Morning for
Criminal Assault

William Stuart, otherwise known
as Tucker" Stuart, a negro oil
that vicinity, was brought to
Lexington FROM Rockbridge Baths
this morning at about two O'Clock
by Justice n. A. Wilson and placed
in Jail, under charge OF attempted
criminal assault on a young white
woman of that community. The at
tempted crime was committed yes
terday afternoon at about 3 o'clock
in a skirt OF woods on the Adams
farm just west Of Rockbridge Baths
So quickly and quietly was the in
vestigation OF the affair by Justice
Wilson that the negro was on his
way to Lexington before report OF
the crime gained circulation in the
neig hborhood.
The sworn statement OF the wo-
man, who is about % years old, is
to the effect that she was returning
from the store across the field. and
when she approached the woods
Tucker Stuart met her and cursed
her, then struck her with the butt
end of whip and knocked her
down. He then attempted criminal
assault. When she escaped from
the negro the crime was reported Il
Mr.. Wilson, who Issued a wal ram
for the mans arrest, and after
preliminary hearing, in which the
negro made confession OF the assault
he was committed to Jail to avail
action by the grand jury.
Stuart's story differs in some par
ticulars from that of the young wo
man. He says that he was in tn
field after the horses and when tn
woman came along she cursed hin
- and struck him with can; then b
D caught her and pushed her down.
: Stuart is about 19 years old and i
rather small of stature. He is darl
? brown and talked freely of the Grim
