Assault
Is Said to Have Been Attempted
Near Town Of Donalds by
Negro Man.
(From Saturdays Daily


A report came to Anderson yester-
day from Donaldss.in Abbevlile coun-
ty. to the effect that q negro had at
tempted to criminally assault q little
negro girl.
From the rumor reaching this city
It was said that the negro succeeded
In accomplishing h.s purpose and
th.i nEcr tho girl had been ravish-
cd she was thrown into deep we'll.
The man madc his escape but the
girls cries were heard by passers-
by and she was rescued.
1t Is understood that a request
was made to the. Greenwood authori-
ties for their blood hounds and the
animals put ON the trail, although no
arrest has yet been made. -.
1t was impossible to secure the
names OF any Of the parties concern
Ell and as yet the Anderson county
officials have received no request to
aid in the capture of the negro.

ist out Of work, is the sole support of
her mother and invalid sister, IN adj
dit1oh to her earnings, she gets five
shillings a week from the war relief
fInd, which helps ,defray her weekly
rent of $1.85.
~ pathetic case is that of a one-eyed
girl, for whom arrangements have
been made to buy new glass eye, as
the enamel had worn off the old one.
1t has been brought to the notice of
Mrs. Jenkins that there is great suf-
fering among middle class women en-
gagged in the arts. A music teacher
said she had earned but S1.10 in o .
week.
AS soon as permanent quarters are
found, the committee expects to
branch out. Meals at two pence each
will be furnished and a nursery for
children. Already the homes of the
workers are visited and second hand
clothing given according to the needs.
The American women have won the
gratitude Of many families in Isling-
ton by their prompt methods. Queen
Mary's Fund is equipping factory
with machinery out Of its 10000
pounds, but its members do not seem
to understand that what is needed Is
aid right now, and not when the war
IS over. Recently the ladies Of Green
wich raiBed fund to equip factory,
and unable to obtain financial assist
anco from the Queens fund, turned to
the American Women's War Relief So
ciety. which straightway agreed to
advance SIS a week forf wages. The
factory is now running.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 23.--Whilc the

tl0ns in the South was before tho

Wyatt Aiken made e speech setting
forth his views. He declared that
congress could do something to re-
lieye conditions In the South, and he
opposed any adjournment until that
something was done. lIo did not
: speak long, but he had something TO
say as he always does when he gets
Up to speak, and his romarks attract
cd general attention. He said:

who believe the government can do
something for the relief OF the people
OF tho South. who are facing disaster

along this line.
The people OF the South are not

Ing that the government perform Its
rIghtful functions, They are nsking
that the government do something 7or
b great part OF tho people and not
for any special interest. One-third
Of the people OF tho United States arc
directly interested In the cotton crop.
The price of cotton has been cut In
half by the war in Europe. ana unless
something is dono for tho people Of

Electrocuting Germs.
iDsIHpss,xa,

Sterilizing milk by the application of
heat Is no longer the method used i'll
the most progressive dairies. 1t has
been found that to electrocuts the
germs by tho application of IL strong
current to the fluid Is much quicker
and more efficient. The nutritive quail
tiles of the milk remain absolutely un-
changed.
The complete modern mechanism for
milk treatment begins with clarif1er,
where dirt and all other foreign sub
stances are removed from the milk. 1t
is then placed in a large mixing tank
where wooden paddles, driven by a
small motor, thoroughly mix the vari-
GUS constituents of the milk. From the
mixing tank the milk passes through
steam jacketed coils, which regulate its
temperature, to the electrical purifier
itself.
The milk is driven through q half
inch hole in a composition disk, sur
rounded by electrodes which subject
the milk to an electrical energy of
about 2,2OO volts. The milk energies
from the purifier at temperature of
about 15S degrees Fahrenheit and is
then passed through coil of water
cooled pipes, and so reaches bottle
filling machine and is ready for the
market without having been handled
since the beginning of the process.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION

Taft, speaking before the Bar Associa-

banquet last night.
at would revolutionize the national
government" he said. 1T would put
on the shoulders of the government the
duty of sweeping the doorsteps of every
home in the land. If national prohibi-
ton legislation is passed, local govern
ment would be destroyed. And If you
destroy local government, you destroy
one of the things which go to make for a
healthy condition of the national gov

National prohibition is non-enforcea-
BILE; 1t is a confession on the part of state
governments Of inability to control and
regulate their own especial business and
duty: if the matter were placed under
federal control it would result in crea tion
of machinery of government officials
large enough to nominate any president
and would offer too great an opportunity
to persons seeking to perpetuate theiI
power in Washington.
