It seems as If the girl's father, wko runs a small commissary for his farm, near his house, was away from the house, in a field about three hundred yards from the store, when the at tempt at assault, took plase. The mother was not at the house at the time. It seems that the negro Rivers went to the house and* asked to buy some shells for his shotgun, out of the store. The young girl went into the oommissary and sold the man the shells, some candy and several other small articles. Than it was, she says, that he choked and attempted to assault her, but the screams of the terrorized vic tim brought her father running. The negro became frightened and escaped from the furious father Into a bay near the farm. Tho alarm soon spread. Two deputy sheriffs, two magistrates, several constables and about one hundred men started in pursuit of the negro, who, it is claimed, has been located in a kay near the scene of bhe erfcxsa. Just after, sundown, 06r. J. Roid Pitts, one of the party who was searching for the negro in the bay, La wkioh they had located him, sud denly oajaa upon Dave Rivers and was skc-t by him with a shotgun load ed with bird snot, the wound Lufilatod bsiag in the right side, and it is not tkonght to be dangerous. The negro was about seven feet away from 5?r. Pitts when the shot was fired through a slump of hushes. Mr. Flits is a prominent business man of Hampton, and this unfortunate turn to the al ready horrible erlme is deeply de plored. A farmer living on the adjoining plantation furnished the Information that a negrj jmswering the descrip tion of Rivers, with a gun, had passed through his yard and kad gone Into the bay, where ho is now thought ta be. The country round about !a srirret?' up over the attempted assault, and the faces of the men around tho scene of the crime wear a determined look. If the negro Is caught It Is the opinion of people her? that ho will neTer see a Jail. The family of tho girl who was attacked is widely con nected and well known tkrougko?t this oountry.

The announ.cam.ent was mails in N!aw York on Tuesday, following ooa feranoea that havo boon la presroea for several days batwean prominent bankers of Nevr York and leading representatives of the South, such as Governor O'Neal, bf Alabama; Clar ence Ousley, representing Governor Colquitt, of Texas, and E, J. WaUou, president of the permanent Southern Cotton Congr&ss, and commisaionor of agriculture of South Carolina, that a proposition has been present*! to those gentlemen, representing, re spectively, the Governor's conference and the Cotton Congraaa, composed of producers and business men and bankers of tho South, which means tte placing in the cotton belt States of about $50,000,000 immediately for the handling of tho ootton crop of 1911. The bankers, who will furnish the fund, according to the statement, are headed by Col. Robert M. Tnompson. of the brokerage firm of S. H. Pell & Oo., of New York. Tk* financial support of several of the strongest banks In Now York has b*en give* to the Flan, the statement continue*. Tho plan proposes to advance the grower $25 per bale *p*a kh? oottoa, bftsed on the market rain* at the time of the loan. No interest will be I paid upon tko loan, the only sharge being $1 a b&l?, whleh i* regarded [ a* a legitimate atiniisuBt char^o for erponso of grading and handling. The [cotton is not h*Id, nor taken from the *haxn*ls of trade, but is placed at tho best advantage. The grower is given the right to designate tho day of sate, price to January 1, 1)13, and will participate in any advance in price to the extent of three-fourths of the rise of the market. "In other words, the proposition is to give the fanners $25 par bale ad vance on hie ootton, without Interest, j charging him only $1 per bale to cover expenses of grading and hand ling; letting him tnrr. over the ootton to the hot'era, who will advance him $25 per bale and give him the oppor tunity to designate the date of the sale, prior to January I, 1913, and to participate in any advance in price to the extent of three-fourths of the rise in the market. "It is calculated that by the pres ent ordinary holding prices the farm er take* all the chances of the rise in the market. By this plan he takes no more ohance than he did before and has every opportunity of maximum participation in a rise of the market, meantime paying the debts he has to pay and saving the losses sustained by eountry damage and by loss of weight and warehousing charges. "Provision is made agains: any ap parent violation of the Sherman anti trust law, in that each committee named by the Governor or conimi* aioner of agriculture of each State hau the power to name the day of sale, If cotton reaches 12 or 13 cents, which, according to the testimony gathered, gives only a close legitimate profit on the coot of production. "Of course, everything depends on the acceptance of the plan by the individual farmer, in connection with his pledge to retluce acreage the com ing year. The individual farmer alone can make success possible. "The undertaking is father?]' by a number of bankers, of which Col. Robert M. Thompson is the head, he being a widely known bull, and of the I Arm of S. H. Pell & Co., bankers and cotton men, and all necessary machln : ery for caring for the cotton has been provided.

A dispatch from Abbeville says P.rooV? Wilson, tho fonrteen-year-old son of Walter B. Wilson, a prosperous farmer of that county, and Joseph Sherard, the seventeen-year-old son of the late Dt. Sherard, of the Leb anon seetlon, lost their lives early Tuesday morning in a ffre which de stroyed the home of Mr. Wilson. The two young men went to Abbe ville Tuesday night, to attend the show la the opera house, and re turned to Mr. Wilson's after the show. No one heard them enter the house on their return, which must hare been after 12 o'clock. About two o'clock Tuesday morning Mr. Wileon awakened to find his house in flames.

When tha fire had dird down enough to ascertain, the charred remains of the two boys were found on ihe bed springs of the bed. in which they evidently wr-re sleep ing. It is Ftipposed that they must hnve become suffocated with thei smoke and thereby rendered uncon scious of the danger, and that they died without knowing of the terrible Mow which the fire w?s striking at their icved ones. Both were manly boys, with larse numbera of relatives and ti lends in iiieir part of (he county. Their un timely and tragic deaths ate a source of great sorrow and bereavement to j the community.
