tempt Of deputy sher:ffs to arrest
two negro women charged with beat
ing number Of small white boys
they found in swimming
The scene of the clash was the
plantation Of William Gaines, three
miles north Of Rayville. A desperate
battle took place there late yester-
day, hundreds Of shots being fired.
The dead are Cleo Collins, Charles
Kelley, Scott Belliheld and William
Gibbs.
Friday a group of white lads found
a swimming hole and went to 1t. The
negro women are said to have re-
preached them for their lack Of
clothing, and the boys retorted, and
trouble followed. Several OF the boys
are said to have exhibited to their
parents blue and white marks about
their necks where they had been
choked.
Yesterday morning deputies were

Attempts to Wreck Trains.

Florence, July According to
information received in Florence to =
day three separate attempts have
been made within the past week to
wreck trains on the line or the At
lantic Coast Line railroad, formerly
known as the NJ. and A., between
Florence and Augusta. A peculiar
feature OF the attempts, none Of
which was successful. due to the Wig
ilance Of the train crews, particular
ly the engineers and fremen, Is that
they were made at or very near the
point where Engineer Jos. Temple
was killed when his train was wreck
ed several weeks ago. Another pecu-
liar feature Is that only Atlantic
Coast Line trains were sought by
the train wreckers, trains OF the C.
and w G. railroad having been al
lowed to pass without any attempt
at hindrance. In the case OF each OF
the attempts to wreck the trains the
ties and rails had been tampered
with. The last train that passed
found that the switch had been
turned.

To State Department OF Education
for the Month Of August.

The Tamassee school board has Of
fered the use of the Tamassee school

State Department Of Education.
This School, owned by the South
Carolina Daughters Of the American
Revolution, is located in Oconee
county, about ten miles from Wal
halla, and Is run during the winter
for the mountain girls The board
was anxious that the property be
put to some educational use during

ing.
In cooperation with the board the
State Department will establish at
Tamassee a camp for mountain girls
who have not learned to read and
write. Girls between the ages Of 16
and 80 will be admitted. The school
will embrace five hours, and, under
the capable instruction which will
be provided, great progress can be
made during the month. No money
will be charged for board, but each
pupil will be asked to bring to the
camp chickens, eggs, vegetables, etc.
The girls will be under the charge
of an efficient matron. Only twenty
girls can be taken in the boarding
department. In addition to the
courses for the girls, courses in let
ter writing, fractions, etc, will be
given for the benefit Of the people
who live in the community. This
is great opportunity whereby am
bilious girls can learn to read and
write.
