town to the officers and Sheriff
Fountain, Dep. Dixon and Con-
stable Clemments went to the
scene in Mr.. FarnelI's car and
from the description received
from Mr.. Knight and Mrs. Nc
Kay, believed they recognized
the culprit and proceeded to look
for him.
Warrants were sworn out for
the suspected party Thursday
before Judge w. B. Moore and
placed in the hands of the
Sheriff. He is we'll known and
if he remains in the vicinity will
certainly be arrested. Certain
strong influences have helped
him out of previous scrapes but
the time is ripe when the good
people of the city and Ben Hill
county, see to it that a character
so dangerous to the peace of our
country neighbors is not allowed
to further endanger their lives
and expose their families to the
insults Of a drunken brute.

SIGNORA TERESA BARETTI, LEADING
SOPRANO, CREATOREs BANDA
VERDI.

COPIED From Charleston News,
Dec. 8. 1879
Two audiences enjoyed the con-
certs by Creatore's Banda Verdi
at the Academy of Music yester-
day. francesca Creatore, the con-
ductor, is a nephew of Guiseppi
Creatore, who has been to Charles
ton a number of times. His Banda
Verdi consists of about thirty
pieces, and the Lomberto Grand
Opera Sextettee is especially fea-
tured. The younger Creatore's
lack of reputation in this section
was probably the reason for the
slenderness of the patronage here.
His is an excellent band aud in the
performance of difficult numbers
the organization is admirable. Mr..
Creatore ought, however, in &C
compartments to incline to piano,
the loudness of the band marring
to some extent the work of the
vocalists at the concerts here. The
Banda Verdi is under the manage
ment of w. Albert Jones, of Jack
sonvllle, who is we'll known in
Charleston. 1t has been engaged
as feature attraction for the Pan
anna Exposition to be held at San
Francisco.
The vocalists rendered the
exquisite sextettee fir ON onizetti's
'Lucia di Lammermoor" with dis
erection, and also did capitally in
the rendition of the superb quar-
tette from Verdi's ''Rigoletto. -
Turci, the baritone; Parolinl, the
tenor and Barelli and Deluco, the
sopranos, use their voices to ad-
vantage. francesca Guerente, solo
cornetist, improved his opportuni-
tY with "Silver Threads Among
the Gold" A skilfully arranged
medley from Donizetti's "Lucia
dl Cammermoor," Verdi's "Aidaa"
Comes I'll Guarany", Rossini's
civilian TELL" Verdi's "Travia-
ia" and Tschalkowsky's"Solonell
was splendidly played at the matt
nee. The peer Gynt" Suite
(Grieg) was we'll done in conside-
ration of the difficulties. The med
ley of patriotic airs as the finale
stirred the audience.

McCay's House Entered
Jesse Knight Stabbed

Wednesday evening the house
of Geo. Mckay, about three miles
west Of the city, on the James
plantation, like every other home
wherein a good woman presides
and children abound, was the
scene of good will to ALP. Mr..
Mckay had gone to the city to
do some final Christmas shopping
and with the family remained
Jesse Knight, the brother of
Mrs. Mckay. All were assem-
bled in the front room, when
! suddenly the door was bursted
open and a man reeled into the
room with foul oaths demanded
what they were doing in the
house. Knight, who is a brave
young fellow, promptly threw
him out of doors and shut the
door. Getting down his shot
gun, Knight started after him
but his sister and niece prevailed
on him and he laid the gun On
the bed, started out of the room
to the porch when the fellow
grabbed hin. and stuck a dirk in
to his right shoulder. The two
fell to the floor and though the
blood ran in streams from Knight
he was able to infiict some telling
blows on his assailant and finally
again pitch him out in the yard.
Whilst the eleven year old daugh-
ter of Mr.. Mckay ran to some
negro tenants, a quarter of a
mile from the dwelling, for help
and the mother was binding up
the wounded man as best she
could, the fellow attempted a
third entrance and Mrs. Mckay
grabbed the gun and struck the
fellow with such force, that it
broke stock and barrel. Soon af-
ter Mr.. Mckay arrived home and
though with some neighbors a
thorough search was made, the
assailant could not be located
that night. Word was sent to

BMsIarized A Negro Cabin.

Sheriff Fountain received q
white boarder, who has the de-
stinction of playing his trade
among the colored people. Christ
mas morning he entered the
premises and under threat made
Ada Mcbride give up what little
change she had about the house.
Later on Grey held up white
man, whose name we failed to
learn and the officers nabbed him
before noon. Several sand bag
ging jobs are laid to him and he
may serve to raise several cotton
crops at the State farm.

DIPLOMACY WINNING.

The power of President Wilson Is d.
plomacy is at last making itself felt
in Mexico. For the first time since
Huerta seized the reins Of government
and allowed Madero to be assasinated
he is willing to heed the wishes of the
United States. Americans will take
much satisfaction out of the present
state of the negotiations for the rea-
son that President Wilson appears to
be winning a great moral victory. he
founded his diplomacy upon the solid
rock Of morality and justice, while
Huerta pinned his faith to the old Eu-
ropean standards Of expediency and
self-interest. 1t Is gratifying to see
that the president Is carrying out his
plans in exact accord with his declared
policy-without recognition of Huerta,
without intervention, without lending
military aid to tho revolutionists and
without war.
Huerta, deserted by England, Ger
many and France, held out against
President Wilson as long as possible,
but he foresaw his doom When the
presidents ultimatum was delivered
and Lind departed from Mexico City
the dictator realized that he had
reached the end of his resources. While
Huerta makes pretense Of insisting on
compromise, it is clear that he must
accept ell of President Wilson's do
mands. That means the passing Of
Huerta as q ruler or even as an influ-
ence in Mexico.
Another source Of satisfaction to
Americans will be the triumph Of
President Wilson'S policy over that
adopted and then abandoned by the
European powers. England, France
and Germany believed that they should
follow the ancient precedents of self
interest, and they frankly expressed
astonishment at the idealistic policy Of
the American president. cit Is mag
nificent, but it is not diplomacy" one
could almost hear the foreign states
men exclaiming. But now they have
received a light that should teach
them an edifying lesson in the new

AN EDITORS INVENTION.

Public opinion Is being expressed in
novel and effective way by the edi-
tors of Colorado. In response to call
issued by Mr.. Shaffer, the new owner
of the Rocky Mountain News and the
Denver Times, the editors convened to
discuss and take action on the coal
strike which has produced such dis.
graceful conditions in the Centennial
state. Mr.. Shaffcr IS idea evidently was
that a heart TO heart talk among the
editors would prevent them from act.
ing at cross purposes and would pro.
duce a practical unanimity of opiu-
ion In regard to tho strike.
The newspaper men adopted resolu-
ton urging that the present strike be
declared off Immediately, that the
union should give up It's demand for rec
ognition by the operators and should
abandon its demand for high wages; /;
and that the operators should guaran-
tee the miners the uupreiudiced right
20 join tho union, trade at any store,
have their own check-weighmen and
work but eight hours a day. They also
demanded the enforcement Of all laws
relating to tho coal mining industry in
Colorado.
This conference Of editors should
havo salutary influence on the strike.
Both sides were given full and free op-
portunity to state their cases to the
conference, and it was only after am
exhaustive hearing and patient delib.
Grafton that the editors made their
findings. Had tho newspaper men, each
in his own town, formed opinions at
long distance. the editorial erpres
