county by a negro. The peopli
were greatly aroused and the coun
try was scoured at the time, bul
the brute escaped. Nothing fur
ther was heard of the matter unti
yesterday morning, when the gov
ernor received the following fron
the sheriff of Aiken county:
Gov. M. B. McSwoeney.
Have negro in jail who it ii
claimed assaulted Miss Clark it
mill district. Imminent dangei
of being lynched. Will brin?
him to Columbia today for safe
keeping unless you telegraph con
trary. Owen Alderman.
Gov. McSweeney immediately
ordered the sheriff by telegrapl
to bring the negro here to the
penitentiury and to see that he
was protected at all haz/.ards.
Deputy Sheriffs P. B. Glovei
and E. \V. Lamar brought the
prisoner, Sam Williams, to the
city yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Glover, when seen last
night by a reporter, said that
Sheriff Alderman considered it
very necessary that the prisoner
be placed in the penitentiary at
thera had beon much talk of lynching
on the streets of Aiken since
Tuesday last when Williams was
captured and jailed in that city.
The Yaucluse men were thorough
ly enraged hy the crime end neemed
determined to have revenge.
TU? ..i ?L
iuo Biory 01 me crime is well
remembered. Some time ago a
negro broke into the kitchen of a
house occupied by a Miss Chirk
in VaucluBe and assaulted her.
She furnished an accurate descrip
tion of the man and he was idem
tified by many as Sam Williams,
a strange negro, who had beer
loafing around the town for som<
time. A posse was organized anc
the search kept up for some days,
but in vain.
About two weeks after tint
crime three negroes again broke
into Miss Clark's home and demanded
supper. She was terri
fied, especially as she thought she
recognized her assailant as one ol
the party. On the pretext of obtaining
some sugar, she slipped
into another room and out to a
neighboring bouse and gave the
alarm. No trace of the negroes
was, however, ever discovered.
Last Tuesday Williams, the
man answering to the description
given by Miss Clark was found in
an unoccupied house which he had
broken into near Vaucluse. lie
was taken by surprise and captured
without effort.
After being taken to Aiken as
stated above he remained there
until yesterday when he was
hrniiflfkl In rnliimkia
Williams is a young negro
about 21 years old, black as the
ace of spades and rather tall.
Wheu captured he was dressed in
blue overalls, a red shirt and a
pair of odd shoes, tbo same costume
he was described as wearing
when the crin e was committed.
Th$ odd shoes were particularly
notioed as these peculiar track*

home the morning after.
The prisoner stoutly denies hit
guilt and says that he was nevei
in Aiken county until Sunday
night.
He will be kept in the peniten
tiary until October 20, when the
circnit court will convene in Aiken
and be will be tried.?The

copy of some resolutions adopted
t Portland, Mo., over 1.500

of chi'dren in mills. /
The resolution was unanimousr
adopted by the Central Labor ?
nion of that city and a copy of j
lem was orderod sent to tho ^

ly that the people of this state
aould be asnamed to permit
leuisclves to be so controlled by
le capitalists, and winds up with
le hint that the national governlent
may take u hand in the mat3r.
As a matter of fact, out of
6,000 employees in the cotton ne
lills only about 600 are children;
nd as a recent article published
i The Record taken from The p(
radesman, a Southern industrial ne
lagazine, states, this number ^
ill be much reducer, wheu the ^

The resolutions referred to ^
bove have been adopted in one or .
