Oliver McClinton, a negro about 20 years old, commit ted a criminal assault upon Miss Rebecca Kelly, who lives alone on her planta tion about three miles north of Melton. Miss Kelly is about50years of age, and a large, stout woman. The negro slipped into her house and seized her. She resisted his efforts with all her might, and, after a hard struggle, in which she was painfully bruised and a severe wound inflicted on one of her anus by the brute's teeth, ho accom plished bis purpose. Thc negro then secured ber pocket boni;, ubi.-h fortu nately contained only T'< cent.-, and lefl the house. Mi>s Kelley then walked a mile to the home ol' ber cousin, Kelly, who at once sen! a ines.M ager to Helton to tele]dione Sherill'' ?rc? ii. A . soon as the message was received here Deputy Dillingiuim, with his blood hound, weill to the scene ol Mu.? crime. In the meantime a large crowd of citizens had congregated at the place, j bringing shot gnus, pistols. < :<.., willi determination of making quick work of Ihe brute when captured. When j Deputy Diltiiiyiiam withins dogs ar rived he a! once went to work. The dogs trailed to an old negro woman's i house and her two sons were carried I before Miss Kelly, who said they were not the guilty parties. Ano! her search was made which brought, in Pearl Washington, another negro, who was also carried before Miss Kelly, who failed to identify htm as the criminal. Washington then told thc Deputy that McClinton rode with him that, after noon from Helton ?iud got oil't he wagon near Miss Kelly's homo. Mr. Dilling ham then went to the house of Wm. (Jeer, an uncle of .McClinton, who was found there in bed. Mr. Dilliugham arrested McClinton and carried bivi before Miss Kelly, who fully identified him, her linger prints showing plainly on his face mid throat. Th - was about 2 o'clock a. m., most of \ . croud had gone home, und Deputy Dilliugham bad no trouble io bringing the prisoner here to.jail. While tm tho way the negro practically confessed his guilt. Miss Kelly's condition is not consid ered serious but six-is painfully hurt. Unless we get a special term of Court, tho brute, will have to stay in prison until next February before he can be tried and get .justice meted out . to him. - mm . ? - - Holland's Store. Our schools are presided over by Misses Kate Clayton and Margarito Robinson. The. former young Indy of Anderson is teaching at Shiloh and Miss Robinson tit ltuliatliull. Miss Robinson is from Duo Wsst. Holli these schools are very well attended and are running smoothly. Crops have been gathered and wheat sowing is about completed, > Tho late cotton did not amount to anything, and the corn crop generally is very short, but there has been large quan tities of hay saved. There is a gront deal of moving going nu now. The rush is mostly to ward tho cotton mills. The poor peo ple are forced to leave tho finnis on account of tho short crops and tho un settled condition of business generally. Rev. II. M. Allen preached a good sermon last Sunday nt Shiloh. Rev. Mr. Hailey preached at R u ha mnh Sunday afternoon. His people aro delighted at his return to this Cir cuit. Mrs. J. M. Cardin, of Hart Conn ty, Ga., is visiting relatives and friends in this neighborhood. Mrs. Sullivan spent a few days last week nt Roystou, Ga., with her daugh ter, Mrs. Karie. Master Harrold Lee, son ot' Mr. Wil ton E. Lee; near Anderson, is spending some time with his cousin, Miss Julia Boroughs. Sportsmen are having line times now, as game is quito plentiful.

School has opened at this place with Miss Cora Shirley as teacher. Mr. Tied Finley visited Eureka Sun day. R?tv. W. H. Hawkins has been select ed pastor at this place for another year. Mr. Hawkins is an 'excellent preacher and our church is very much devoted to him. Messrs. Charlie Willingham ami Leo Davis, two popular young men from Belton, were in our midst Sunday.

We regret tho loss of Mr. Brown and family. They will he greatly missed from our community. Mr. Lawrer co Hall visited hero Sun day. His friends were glad to seo him in their midst again. We think the wedding bells will ring ero long in our vicinity: "Two minds with but a single thought, two hearts that beat as one." Harper Balentine, the son of Mr. and Mrs.E. Z.

('KKKNWOoi?, Dee. 1.-Certain Green wood blind tigers have received such a set back in the last few days that it seems lo them almost impossible to get back to a business basis at nil. Those who have been "sohl"' aro all negroes, ami thu seller was a negro, but the stud" sold was water and not the regulation lite water. The facts are these: A week ago ono Henry Probst, a very black specimen, arri veil here from ilamlott, N. C. Ile was dressed ns a dead game sport aitd had several big trunks as personal bag gage. Ile had live live gallon kegs of menu whiskey in euch of these trunks. Aller he hail disposed of ?ill his stock to dealers, he retitled the kegs with water sind ollered other dealers a very attractive proposition to take tho bal ance of his goods at bargain day ligures, as the constables were after him. Ile sold one negro three liv? gallon kegs of water for $24. One went for $7.30, anti still another was? sohl to "Mrs. G Kreuth" fur $7.50. This lady is tho treasurer for a church missionary so ciety, and thought she would i livest the society's money Ju a sure thing and make back a good'um for the society anti probably a margin for herself. Having sold his stock ot I?,o water and plain water, Henry closed? his big trunks and went back to Mantlet. Tho negroes did not know until the next morning, Sunday, that they hud bought water. Their rage knew no bounds. They had to tell how they had been sold. The missionary treasurer is in a whololotof trouble.-Columbia Sin tc. Letter to Air. Luther J. Burriss, Anderson.
