Col umbia, Maroh 10,-Miss Pittrann has declared, after seeing him, that Nathan MoCleary, the imbeoile negro who "confessed" to the attempt to as sault her in Marion oounty last Monday, is not the man, in spite of his confession. Miss Pittmat has also seen two more siiBpeots arrested and presented to her in Marion oounty and bas deolared that neither ls che man. It bas not boen do oided yet just what will be done with MoCleary. He is wanted in Marion oounty for a similar crime against a negro girl. It is likely that steps will be taken in a few days to place bim in the hospital for the insane bore. His whole demeanor, as well as bis looks and acts, clearly olass him as dangerously weak minded. It is thought that bis so-called confession was matched from pieces of information he gathered about tho crime. He soys he is the man who "ketch ed holt of the band of the white lady who teaohed sohool In the little blue school house." Ho did not appear to recognize Miss Pittman, and on no occasion since his arrest has he shown any excitement or seemed in the least anxious about the on tooms.

The executive onmmittee of tho Civic Association met at the home of the Presi dent, O'. W. Gignilliat, last evening, in which the new officers adjusted full har ness for the work of the present year. Pr. J. H. Burgess, as appointee of the town council, proved a valuable assist ant in planning the work. Offers from th? council for co-operation with the as sociation to do work on the park wera received and favorably acted upon, prov ing that the utmost harmony prevails | between the council and the association, ?a' most'encouraging symptom. A few mild requests were ratde th rou uh Dr. Burgess to the council, and it is thought that the year's woik will mark a moat progressive one in the icrly history of civics in Seneca. The president ap pointed the folio mg committees: Ceme tery committee, Mesdames B. P. Sloan ind J. W. Byrd, Dr. J. H. Bargees; chair man of sections, Mesdames Ki A. Hines, W. J. Lunney, O. V.

The park committee is composed of the chairman of the several sections, who, with assistants fron the Individual sections, appointed by the chairman, shall conduct the work in the park, tak ing it in turns of three months each. Other plans for improvements were dis cussed, among them being the cemetery work, the waste paper question and care of sidewalks. Substantial and delight ful refreshment* were served, which proved a wonderful brain stimulant to the committee. As the quarterly meeting of the Li brary Association approaches the men-* bera become, naturally, more interested in the workings of this popular public institution. There are some very im portant issues tc be met at the next meeting and the oin oe rs are desirous that the meeting be a full ?od r o pr eso n tat i ve one. Unless there is an . improve ment over certain conditions it is thought, by some, that the library will have to be dosed.
