FLORENCE WOMAN ATTACKED.
She is Seized In Yard by Unknown
Man, Who Escapes.

A special to The News and Courier
from Florence says a well-known and
bighly-respected woman, the wife of
q we!l-knovn railroad engineer, was
attacked there Monday night by q
man unknown to her, and who made
good his escape before assistance
reached her.
The lady had gone into the yard
for an armful of wood and as she
reached down to pick up the wood
she was seized by some one from be-
hind. She screamed and made an
effort to free herself from his hold,
and in doing so the person making
the assault tore her dress from her
person. After getting free from his
grasp she ran screaming to the house
and by the time assistance arrived
the fellow had scaled the fence IN
the darkness and gotten away.
The place where the offence was
committed is just one door, south on
Gsillard street, from East Evans,
and within four doors from where
little Andrew Jackson was taken.
The affair, following so close on the
mysterious disappearance and muir
der Of tho Jackson child, has thrown
the women and children who have
heard OF it almost into Mysteries, and
the men, who were congregated IN
groups in the eastern section OF the
city. are swearing vengeance against
the culprit should he be caught. Ar
rangements are being made to secure
bloodhounds II they can be gotten
quickly.

STANDS By HIS FRIENDS.
viii Appoint No One Else TO Office
When Left to Him.

In a speech at Union Friday Gov.
Blease stated that he was in the race
for reelection as Governor and that
he was in the race to the finish; that
he was not working for himself,
but in the interest OF the people. He
was accused, he said, Of saying that
be stood by his friends. He said he
wanted to say this was true and that
none other need apply" So far as
appointment to Office was concerned,
be said, so long as officers were nom
mated in the primary he would aD-
point them, but where the appoint
ment was left to him he would give
the places to only those he knew to
be for Blease. He urged his hearers
to 20 to the club meetings and to
send delegates to the county and
State conventions who would support
his policies and not to let few men
run the conventions for, their own
interests. He also urged that every
man should get registration certif-
icate. He said be had never done g
thing of which he was ashamed.

PARDON MILL GRINDS.
Governor B!ease Turns Two More

ConvictS Loose.
The governor has granted a parole
to Elmore Wright, who was convicted
in spartanburg county in November
OF 1908, and sentenced to ten years
and one day in the State penitentiary
on the charge Of manslaughter. The
parole was granted during good be-
hayior.
A pardon has been granted to
Frank Davis. who was convicted In
Richland county in 1897 on the
charge Of assault and battery with
intent to kill and sentenced to i've
years in the State penitentiary.
Since assuming Office the COVER
nor has extended executive clemency
in 334 cases. Pardons, 142; paroles,
1872. This is doing pretty we'll. The
Governor pardons criminals about as
fast as the courts can convict them.
Should he be reelected and keeps up
his pardon record, we will have few
convicts at the end OF his second
| term.

TAKES BABY TO DEATH
YOUNG MOTHER LEAPS WITH IT
FROM ROOF.
Had Worried Greatly About Little
One-Other Children Saw Fatal
Preparations Made.

Mrs. Samuel Strauss of No. 315
East Ninety-frst street, New York,
began shortly before noon Wednes-
day to dress her fve-month-old ba-
by, Nathan, in his best. She slipped
on his white dress, worked with lace,
and cream colored cape, drew on
his beriboned bootees and placed a
bonnet with blue trimmings on his
head.
Wee Nathan's three little sisters
and "big" brother, Alfred, twelve,
looked longingly while baby was
dressed up" and later when Mrs.
Strauss put on her best clothes.
Alfred, run on downstairs and
play while" was Mrs. Strauss sug-
gestien to the eldest. Then she took
little Nathan in her arms and went
from their modest fourth floor apart
ment to the roof, two floors above.
How long the young mother stood
there no one knows. All that is
known is that she and the baby were
seen falling, and in another instant
their crushed bodies were lying on
the cement pavement Of the court.
Nathan was killed instantly. The
neither died in al ambulance on the
way to the Reception Hospital.
Horrihed neighbors lad run to the
scene and sent hurry call to the
East Eighty-eighth street police sta
tion.
Samuel Strauss, the woman's hus-
band, was sleeping when his wife
and babe left the apartment. He
was aroused by the screams and
shrieks Of the neighbors in the court
below.
Both the police and brother OF
Mrs. Strauss, who was twenty-nine
years old, say the case was suicide.
To Detective Cousins Of the East
Eighty-eighth street station Samuel
Strauss, who Is teamster, said:
s'My wife had been having trouble
providing the baby with the proper
nourishment. This has given her
whole lot OF worry. Last night We
were up all night worrying about
milk for the baby. Finally, went
out and bought some store milk.
Ny wife got out while I was asleep
this morning I know she had been
very despondent lately"
Mrs. Strauss brother, who did not
give his name, said:
"Ay sister had not been well late
". She went out this morning with
the baby anC jumped from the roof.
That's all we know.

TARIFF And TRUSTS
THE TWO BIGGEST QUESTIONS IN
THE CAMPAIGN.
Speaker CLARK Says They Are Burn
ing Problems and These Democrats
VIII Tackle Boldly.

Speaker Champ Clark, a guest OF
Frankfort, Ky, Saturday to the Ken
lucky legislature recited the record
by the Democratic party in congress
eve have absolutely kept faith
with the people," he declared to the
State legislators. eve have redeem
ed or are IN process OF redeeming
every promise made IN order to win
the elections.
Declaring that the tariff and the
question OF trust control will over
shadow all other issues OF the com
ing presidential campaign, Speaker
Clark said:
cit has been given out In manner
that seems authoritative that Presi-
dent TAFT proposes to veto any tarit
bills that we pass. We welcome the
issue. We do not believe 1t can be
blinked, postponed, minimized or
shunted out Of the way. The present
tariff law realizes about s33o,0o0,-
900 a year.
'sIt is estimated that every time
one dollar goes into the pockets OF
the tariff system about IS goes into
the pockets of the tariff barons. This
being true, then the high protective
tariff costs the people Of this coun-
try s1,5o0,0O0,00o year. 1t Is a
gross outrage and cruelty upon the
taxpayers.
Taking up the proposition Of party
and popular progressiveness, Mr..
Clark declared the only way to
achieve progress is At the hands OF
the Democrats. He said p-ogressiVes
in the Republican party would enact
remedial legislation il they could but
that "standpatters are in the major
ity in that party and 1t looks as II
they would continue to dominate it
indefinitely
Mr.. Clark said that on the strength
OF this condition he hoped for inde-
pendent support OF Democratic candi-
dates this year.
Mr.. Clark declared the Repub!i-
cans undoubtedly would attempt to
befoggle impending issues and lure
US away from the tariff and sthe
trust questions because they realize
that on these issues We will defeat
them most decisively."
The battle OF tariff reform and the
proposition OF control Of trusts. he
declared, must be fought to finish.
And on these questions. he said.
I'VE are undoubtedly in the right.
