NEGRO HOLDS UP
TWO CAPE WOMEN
Black Complies Them to Sur

tanned Only Pennies.

Mrs. Sam Stewart and neighbor
woman, both of whom reside north of
the shoe factory, were held up by a
negro bandit last night at about $3.50
o'clock, and at the point Of revolver
forced to deliver purse which, for
tunately, contained but eleven cents.
The two women had accompanied
Mr.. Stewart to town to purchase
groceries, and on their return to
their home they concluded to take the
shortest route and follow the railroad
track.
When they had reached the Rueh-
mann Iron Works, about 200 yards
north Of the depot, the husband dis
overed that he had forgotten a pack

women sat down on the edge Of the
track to wait until he could 60 back

art an dher friend. Thrusting q gun
into Mrs. Stewards face, he command

promptly handed over her pocket
book, and when he discovered the in
significant sum IL contained he pro-
ceeded to curse and abuse the fright

force them to disrobe If they did not
produc more money.
He held his revolver above their
heads in q threatening manner, and
told them that he was tempted to
brain them.
They begged him not to harm them,
and finally satisfying himself that he
could secure no more money from
them, he disappeared in the darkness,
warning them that il they made an
otucry he would return and kill both

his might in trying to control the ex-
cited beast as he plunged wildly
through the frightened throngs Of
people, scattering them like chaff as
he charged down upon them.
The boys were the sons Of T. n.
Williams, who lives at 800 South
Louisiana street, and the horse that
had gotten beyond their control was
a family animal, and had always been
considered perfectly trustworthy and
gentle.
Near the corner Of William and
Sprigg streets some part Of the har-
ness gave way and caused the horse
to take fright. The boys were utterly
powerless TO control him, but they
gamely held on and never lost their
courage at any time during all the
trying period.

SCRIBES In WAR
ARE HANDICAPPED
Governments Now In Conflict
Consider Newspaper Men
Only as Pests

Paris, Aug. 24.-The fighting
among Germans, Belgians, French and
English on the Continent has given
the war correspondents the hardest
task they ever encountered, for all
of the warning Governments are doing
their utmost to bottle up information
and keep eventualities from the pub
lie. Officially there are no correspon-
dents with the French and British ar
mics now, and from the outset, the
Kaiser ordered that no correspondents
be allowed with the German army.
However, the world is getting some
news Of what is going on, which is
proof that the correspondents are at
work whether or not the Kaiser, the
King, the Gar and the President Of
France recognize them as such.
Regulations against correspondents
are more rigid than in any other war
in history. In the recent Balkan wars

they were several miles in the rear OF

respondent Of London newspaper,
with them, sent out the information
that the army was encamped on the
right bank of the River Elbe. This
seemed innocent enough even to the
Austrian censor, but it was sufficient
to give the Prussians a clue to the po-
sition of the enemy and they acted on
it promptly and successfully.
Sherman's famous march from At

BOARDER FREKS

Arrested, and Fined $40 81;
BY Willer

BY a clever bit Of detective work,
Glenn Young, q carpenter, living at

believes has been systematically rob-
bing him Of his money for many
months.
He has been missing small amounts
from time to time, since Christmas,
until his total losses aggregated
something more than $40.
He felt certain that the money was
being taken by someone familiar with
the premises, and at last his suspic-
ions fell upon a young man, Willie
Dodson, who has been boarding with
him for several years.
Yesterday he noted the number on
a 81 bill before he placed it away.
Later in the day he missed the bill
and when Dodson was searched it was
found in his pocket.
He was taken before Judge Willer,
where he entered a plea Of guilty to
the charge Of having stolen the
money, and was fined S10.S0.
The defendant promised to make
good all the money pilfered from time
to time, and gave his note TO cover the
amount, with the understanding that
he would pay it off in full if no fur

terror conceals kindness of heart and
undeniable good qualities. His bark
was great deal worse than his bite
in the days when he was Americas
leading, loudest, most rampant, negro
phobiac, preaching lynching and all
manner Of spectacular and peculiar
outlawry to polite and asNonighed au-
diences. But the time was and il was
not long ago, when Mr.. Tillman's
methods were very nearly as had
not quite, to give the Senator his due
as those Of Cole Blease.
Many of us are going to hope that
Mr. Tillman's days will b. m9' y N re

But he Is a man old enough TO avail
himself Of the privileges of age and
solemnly warn his juniors without

blushingly remember--the days when
it was 'Pitchfork" Tillman, deliberate
thriller Of audiences, who was making
South Carolina notorious.
1t is altogether improbable that
Mr.. Tillman ever sincerely felt the
sentiments he used to express with
such picturesque vigor. It is equally
improbable that Mr.. Blease has been
"a fool for want Of sense" From a
distant view both seem to have played
1t results. Each has be-
lievsd that the hell-roarer gets office
in South Carolina, and each has
proved by his experience that his
theory is correct. The fact that it is
correct has made South Carolina by

DELEVAN COMET
PREDICTED WAR,
Heavenly Wanderer L astDec.
Told Astronomer that 1914
Would Bring Rumpus

London, Aug. 24.-Every great war
in the worlds history has had its COM
ct, and the present titanic conflict in
Europe is no exception. Paul T. Dolo-
van, an astronomer; has the honor of
having his name attached to the free
lance Of the skies, which will go down
in history and science as the comet
Of the war Of 1914. Although when
Delevan discovered his comet from
the observatory in the Argentine Re
public eight months ago, there was no
war on the horizon, and no sign of
great trouble, the travelling body has
been steadily growing brighter, and it
will become visible to the naked eye
shortly. reaching its greatest brillian-
cy in the course Of the present war.
Supersttious people might find
much in the beginning Of the great
struggle TO convince them that war is
a sin, and that it's makers are frowned
on by God. On August 10th, Pope Plus
X, head Of the Roman Catholic Oh arch
died, the direct result Of worfiment
over the great slaughter. On August
2lst there was an eclipse Of the sun,
total over . part Of Russia and other
European territory where war is rag
ing. The coming Of great comet may,
by the ignorant, be construed as an
omen. .'.r
When Delevan first saw the comet
on December IL, 1918, it was $4,000
miles from the sun, and was not very
clear even with the telescope. At
present it is about 220, 0OO, 600 miles
from the sun, and may be seen with
opera glasses in the northeast part Of
the sky, late at night, and early in the
morning. Scientists have said that the
Delevan Comet will be visible with
telescopes for period stretching over
about six years.
1t will come nearest to the earth in
October, when it will be not more than
$4,000, 900 miles from the orbit of
this globe.
Although the atmosphere in most
cities makes photography Of the sky
extremely difficult, some excellent re-
suits have been obtained in several
cities Of the United States by those
who have attempted to take pictures
Of the new wanderer Of the heavens.
The tail Of Delevan's Comet is
bushy one, and is about three degrees
in length. As was predicted by the dis
coverer, the comet has become one Of
the'bright" ones, visible to the naked
eye, as distinguished from the "tele-
scope" comets never seen by unassist- :
cd lay observers. The new comet now
is not far from the constellation Of
Capella, and from Castor and Pollux.
During the Franco Prussian war,
which is wildly recalled by the war
now raging, the comet Tempel II. was
visible and attracted much attention
as a war comet" Olber's comet was
the one visible when Napoleon met
his downfall at Waterloo. In the
course Of the Japanese Russian war,
Brooks comet came within sight a
the earth.

Court yesterday in an answer by the So

suit by Mrs. Bolssevain for 81 900 for
legal services rendered when the company
