no particular Issue at stake, and
it was more matter Of individual

This was, perhaps, the shortest
campaign on record for this part
Of the country. But such cam

have more time to discuss, disgust

His Arrest Caused Quite a
Sensation in Columbia.
1t is Said that He Tried to Cut
Policeman Who Arrested
Him in Alleged House
of Ill Fame.

Columbia, May ga warrant
charging George Bell Zimmerman, of
Lexington, solicitor of the courts of
South Carolina, with assault and bat
terry with intent to kill has been
sworn out before Magistrate Fowles
by P. A. Murphy, member of the
Columbia police department. Solic-
ltor Zimmerman gave bond in the
sum of 5000 and the case will very
probably come up for trial in the
Richland county court. The warrant
charges that Solicitor Zimmerman
cut the throat of Policeman Murphy
with knife. The witnesses named in
the warrant are J. G. Taylor, F. L.
Fleming, E. L. Etheridge and two wo-
men of the questionable district of
Columbia. The assault is alleged to
have occurred in house of ill-fame,
1112 Gates street, which is said to be
operated by Carrie Foster.
Solicitor Zimmerman was arrested
In the resort several weeks ago by
the Columbia police. Among the
charges were assaulting an officer,
violating the auto ordinance by riding
with a woman of the district and
without lights, and drunk and disor-
derly. He was fined in the police
court and the case was brought to a
climax by Policeman Murphy swear
ing out the warrant charging assault
and battery with intent to kill. So
licitor Zimmerman is we'll known
throughout the state, he having been
prosecuting officer for a number of
years. The affair has caused sem
satin here.

Dear Mr.. Editor: Thanking my
friends from the depth of my heart
for the confidence they have express
ed in announcing my candidacy for
the Legislature, I find, after mature
deliberation, that I shall be unable
to make the race. I realize that pa
triotism should come first in mans af-
fections, even before love of home,
because the former comprehends the
latter. l am not, therefore, trying
to shirk. a duty. In declining to make
this race, l am guided simply by the
exigency of pecuniary circumstances.
Yours very truly,
