A Union special, of January 31, to the | Columbia State, says: A very sensational hold-up, in which E. S. Tramell, super intendent of the spinning department of the Excelsior Knitting Mills, was at tacked by J. D. Fore, a North Carolina | mountaineer, and bis 17-year-ohl son, occurred in South Union last night and, as the outcome of a life aud death strug ! gie aloue in tbo dark. E. S. Tramell dis ! armed and overpowered both his antag ' onists. It appefs that Fore had been in \ the mill under the iotluenoe of liquor. I During tho afternoon he had insulted one of the female operatives, who ap : pealed to Mr. Tramell, and when Tramell : remonstrated with Fore, Fore drew : knife on him, but Tramell managed to ] got a box between them and then knocked Fore down. He then ordered : Fore to leave tho mill, which he did, vowing vengeance on Tramell. He then returned to his homo, where he armed himself and his eon with shotguns and . prepared to waylay Tramell as be re turned home. When the mill qlosed. it I ; seems that the son was reluctant- to .do j this, but he did as his father commanded. I Mr. Tramell having an intimation that I Fore might give him trouble, went home j about dark and somowhat sooner than j usual and as ho was nearing Fowler's store he saw two figures in front of him j and a voice from one asked, "Is that you, Tramell?" to which he responded "Yes.'' Immediately the elder Fore stepped for j ward and levelled his gun at Tramell's breast. As quiok as a flash Tramell drew.from his pocket a spinning roll, whioh weighed about a half pound, tho only weapon he had, and threw that with great force at Fore, striking him in the forehead and causing him to lose the gun. Then Tramell jumped forward, oaught the gun and shoved it between his legs, when one barrel was discharged. Fore commanded his boy to shoot and ho placed the gun against Tramell's side, when, with the other hand Tramell se cured the other gun and by a supreme test of strength broke the gun in two, and with the other hand pulled tbo other gun from between his legs and, in attempting to point it forward, the other barrel was discharged, the load singeing Tramell's hair and blowing his bat from his head. Part of tho gun wad was later found in Tramell's hair. With the boy's gun Tramell then struck the elder Fore and knocked him unconscious and the boy ran away. Tramell then coolly walked off and informed persons at a nearby store that they had botter look after Fore. Both of the Fores wore ar rosted and placed in jail last night and this morning wore tined $100 or 80 days on the chaingang, the extreme limit the city council ia allowed, but the oase will be carried to higher courts by Tramell. Tho incident has caused great excitement and interest and Tramell's wonderful strength, nerve and calmness have been much commented on. Rising from the Grave. A prominent mauufaoturer, Wm. A. Ki et well, of Lucarna, N. C., relatos a most remarkable experience. Ho says: "After taking less than three bottles of Eleotrio Bitters, I fool liko ono rising from tho gravo.

Columbia, Fobruary 4.-On account of tbe illness of my brother, John S. Vor nor, 1 did not got to write you a letter last week. I aro glad to say to bis ii 'landa in Ocouee county that, though the ejec tors thought ho could not live, he has passed the orisis of the disease and is re covering. Since I wrote you the House by large majorities h.. 3 parsed two very important and far-reaching measures-one to repeal the lien law and ono to abo'ish the State dispensary-though I doubt, that either of these bills will get through tho Senate this session, as that body seems about evenly divided on both measures. A resolution passed the Houso last week to in vest ig.?to and hud who, if any, of the members were using free railroad passes. It created quito a stir, and while some of the members then seemed to think that an attorney for a railroad or a newspaper man could aouept a pass with out violating the law, it now appears, after looking up the law, that no mem ber of the House or Sonate, whether he be attorney for a railroad or newspaper man, or in anyway connected with a railroad, can accept a pass without vio lating the law. This of course will be a two-sided question. It seems to me that this Legislature has done less in the past four weeks than any body that I have ever attended ; though personally I have had moro to do than at auy previous session. My work has been mostly on committees while the Mouse was not in session, and in watch ing legislation while the same wan in session, rather than in taking a very ac tive part on the floor of the House. There aro thirty standing committees of the House. Of these only three have private rooms allotted to them-the ways and means, the judiciary and the committee on agriculture. I am chair man of the last named committee as well as a member of committee on railroads and ways and means. I suppose I do very woll with the committee on agri culture and railroads, but I count myself of very little worth to the people as a member of the ways and means commit tee, because they, or a majority of them, seem to think or believe in a groat deal larger appropriations than I do, and that idea grows year by year. The commit tee has already consented for an increase over last year's appropriation of nearly $200,000. A few of us object, but what oan we do? A majority rules, that give a favorable report aud that generally carries in the House. So as a matter of faot about half dozon men virtually have control of tho State taxes, though of course the House has final action upon it. The House passed a bill to reduce rail road fare to J couts per mile. The Sen ate ia yot to act upon it. There was a bill before tho committee on agriculture last week of considerable intciest aud that developed a very uioo question of law. It was co require keep ers of game preserves lu this State to pay a license foo. A hearing beforo the com mittee brought out tho fact that there aro moro than 200,000 acres of laud in this State ownod by rich Northerners wired iu and kept aa gamo preserves. lu ono county (Beaufort) one-fourth of the inti re county is owned by foreigners and fencod and kept with guards and furnished with club houses, A-c.. Al though tho Sonate committee had givon the bill a favorable report, tho Houso committoo decided against it on the ground that a man had the right to do aa he pleased with his own land, and thought that tho assessors had suffloient powor to regulate the mattor of taxes. The point of law is whether they have this power or not. If it is shown that tho assessors do not have this power, then thero will doubtless in the future he a law passed com, '.Jg these dubs to pay a license fee. Our County and State taxes were ll mills this year. 'Our county asks for about 10} milla. This with 8 mills for schools and Ti mills for State would give us about 18 mills. That is an increase of 7 mills io our county, though we have love on February 1st, and are makiJ| 3es on Turn Plows, Blacksmith Tools are. Our line of Builders' Hardware ies is complete.

If you have much hauling to do a Stude baker will pay for itaelr m h few months by saving you time and trouble and the expense of constant repairs. You Know the Studebaker Wagon lor more than fifty years its reputation has grown better every year. This reputation is due to the good quality that has alway? been a part of the Studebaker Wagons. Each part is made from the lumber that is best fitted for that part. New England black birch makes the best nubs tho Studebaker hubs are made of it. Butt cut, second growth black hick^ ory is the best for axles-Studebaker axles are made of lt. Scjccteu white oak is best for spokes and running gears-that is what is used in the Studebaker Wagon. The Studebaker Wagon ls Perfect In Every Detail That is why we sell it. Come in and let ue talk it over. Wo have some interesting wagon books for every one. C. W. PITCHFORD CO.. Walkalla, S. C. fi a great 'leal m. r > property and the assess me . ?8 rai:.ed. NOW the peu] ile have a right to know what ia the matter. In looking over the other counties I lind that many of thom do not pay morn t han half what wo do and home not over one-third as much. Tho main trouble ia in tho system of working the roads. About half tho mouoy called for ls for that purpose, and the only way I know to reduce tho levy from 20 mills is for all of us to work our own roads. Thon I think our system of assessment is much in need of improvement. These things should be discussed when men run for tho Legislature, Now, if our delegation was a unit on this matter we could re duce tho taxes at least 4 mills instoad of increasing it. Of course, some of our people would not like it, but I think the only way we will have better roads is for everybody to work the roads in their own neighborhood. This is the way I talked ho.? summer and found that a great many of our people were of that mind. E. E. Verner. White Woman Attaoked by Negro. Lafayette, Ga., Feb. 3.-Entering the home of Mrs. Hattie Johnson, while she w as alono lu tho houso at 0 o'clook this morning, Jim Joues, a negro about 80 years of ago, made an attempt at crimi nal assault, but Mrs. Johnson's screams prevented him from accomplishing his purpose and brought a number of neigh bors to the scene, who e licet cd Jones'? capture.

John son, a section foreman, who is now in tho Southern part of the State, and while Mrs. Johnson was the only person in her home at the timo, the faot that the ne gro perpetrated his attaok in the heart of town and in broad daylight makes the crime one of extraordinary boldness. Jones was lodged in the county jahVlr and will bo tried at the next session of tho Superior Court, whioh couvenea on the third Monday of this month. * Chamberlain's Cough Remedy Cure?
