Started For Penitentiary. Saluda, July 6. r..-o p. m.-Sheriff Rhoden has just left with Will Jones. presumably for Columbia. where he will deliver him to the state authorities for safe keeping. It has been learned that a heavy reward for the apprehension of this negro. who is wanted for murder in Georgia. was sen(me time ago -.,ffered. Mr. Bob Strum, of this county. has been wiring I the Georgia authorities since yester day and he has an answer this morn ing that the sheriff of Dublin, Ga.. is now on his way here with requistion papers. When he reaches here. how ever, Jones will be in the custody of the penitentiary authorities. Killed a Man In Georgia. It is further learned that Will Jones. as he calls himself here. but whose name is Evans Jones. killed a white man in Georgia some time ago and has been on the scout ever sme Strium hired him early in the spring near his father-in-law's plantation on the Savannah river and brought him here. Tihe negro remained wvith Strum tweo days and left. Se on afterwards Strum wvas informed that the negro was wantedl in Georgia for mttrder and has been on the lookout for him ever since. When' Jones was lodged in jail here a few dlays ago Strum happened tee see hinm and at once recognized him as the negro wanted itn Geergia. A- full accoutnt of Joenes' attempted criminal assault was published at the time . On Thursday night of last week he ati;empted to enter the room occttpied by the youtngest danghter. aged 18 years. of \Mr. Warren Kirk and. a highly respected citizen ot this county living near Richardson ville. The yeoung lady was awakened and ran to her father. wvho saw the ngre rtunning awvay in the darkness. Hie thought the negro resembled Jeones. wvho had been in his employ for a short time. and Jones. wvhen' con fronted with the accusation. ninallv admitted that he was the man and confessed that this was not the nirst! time he had gone to the place for the ptrpose of entering the young lady's room, but his heart theretofore had failed him and he w.ent away withot making any noise.

But what if a Russian woman in power should not drink beer or Rhine wine? It would be no more unreas onable. The women of Russia, of Turkey. of Greece, of Italy, of France-and . even England and America can no longer. in entirety. deny the allegation-do indulge. In Ruis a the custom is s, general that it is tho,ught ot as no more extraor dlinary than the cigarette ,f the men in the familv. The custom is a con c-el (act the world over. Even the \\'abirf- .\storia management would make.

Cats Fear This Robin. Ptrtland Oregonian. A pair of robins made th,ir home and raised broods of young for sev eral years on the premises at Thir tecnth and Salmon streets., and appear til have come to the conclusion that they own the property. The female is at present sitting on some eggs and her mate is making himself busy pro tecting her. Cats which stray on the premises are tiercely attacked by the bold bird and driven off. Even the children making themselves too prominent about the cherry tree in which they nest in are threatened by the bird, which pounces down as if to peck their eyes and cause them to "throw up their hands" and move a . A cat belonging to the family enticed its family of kittens outdoors to gam brtl in the sunshinie recently. and the old robin seeing danger ahead for the youtng robins when they might leave the nest. dashed down among the kit ten and pecked and mauled them till they yelled bloody murder. When the robin dashed violently in her face and seizing a tuft over one eye. tore it out. leaving a bare spot as large as a dime. This daring bird is not one of the ld fashioned robin rebreasts so often mentioned by poets, but a genuine ?regon robin. with a long. strong and sharp bill and the energy and daring of a hawk.
