At a ite hour yesterday afternoon the negro, Bob 1)avis, who on Tuesdai attenipted a criminal assault upoi Miss Jennie Brooks, ot the Mt. Morial sectioni of Greenwood county, atm Vlo, after failing inl his diabolica purpose, cut. the young lady's throat had not. been caught, but the scarel for him was being continued, and i was stated that it was thought h would soon le in the hands of hi pursuers and that no earthly powe could prevent a lynching. The crim has stirre.d Greenwood county mor than anything else since the Pheoni: riot. Armed men have been in contin nous pursuit of the negro since h criie was comillit-ted, and the coiuit. is beilgl scoure(l fromli one end to thl other.

The men ol Oreenwooi county are determined, and the larg4 crowds searching for the negro il every part of Greenwood county ar< swearing vengealice. An Account of the Crime. One of the most (diabolical ateipl)t at criminal assault possible was n'ih Tiesday upon the persini of Miss Jen nie Brooks, the 20-year-old daughtei of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Brooks of tl MAlt. Moriah section of (Greenwoo Vcounty, by a nlegro named Bob. Davis The fiend did not accomplish his pur pose but he came near murdering Mis. Brooks. The crime is a horrible one. Mr Brooks is a farner who lives betweet Greenwood and Mt. Morial clhureb about four and a half miles fron town. Ie is a very siecessful farme1 and has accumulated property. hi connection With his fairm he rmis I store. . The store building is abi 50 yards or less from his house. 'Thl4 public road runs between the two. 1 is ia very piuilic place an( is seeni incre(dile that the fiend woutld havi been s hold( as to attempt such < crime ini sneh a public place and ii broad, open daiyligh t. It i.s thle enis toni of the family to keep the stor< lockedl anid to opueni when culstomen' .coime. '*'nesday Mr. and( NIMrs. Brook had gone .1o at tendl a priotracted1 meet ing at Rehobot h. They left thei:1 two eldlest daughters, Misses Jenni< andl Nalo, and their grandmother, Mrs ilerlong, at home. The grandmothei uises a rolling chair, being a confirmei invalid. Miss Jeninie wasii called t< the store by some negro custonmers ani while they wecre there the negro Bol Davis came ini. She says she did noi like the inegro's looks. HIe waited un til the others had goiie out of th< store, then he asked to see some shioes HIe selected a pair and then boughi a pair of p)ants, then lhe told her~ hi wanted some bacon. She told him sh< was out of' bacon.' IHe pointed to somi *that suited him ini the box and she canme from behind the counter to got it. As she did so ho grabbed uip the moat knife and came towards hei Vsaying: ''You are what I want.'' A Brave Girl. Miss BrookS, who was perfetAy cool wvhon relating her' awful experi ne,says she saw an iron har before -amid attemphted to get it to do h etrs f. The negro made in ~~us onslaught wvith the knife hrew up hier hands involumn lhenri ace. The bl ow of thea . stsevered t wo of lier fin Cor. gers. As soon as she dropped her hands, he again struck at her with the knife, this time making a ghastly wound in the throat. This wouind is about four inches long and missed the carotid arteries by the mere frac tion of an inch. With her blood spurt ing from the wound in her throat and disabled in ler right arm by the other wound, Miss Brooks successfully fought off her assaulant, finally in some way seeuiring the knife, though she says she does not know how she o -ot it. Became Frightened. I ''le thill. that Saved lici was a paiss I erby. Mr. .1john TPolbert, coming to I town in his buiggy, passed the store. The passing frightened tlie negro. lie I fled and](] Miss Brooks came to the door i and had strength eiiough left to call 3 to Mr. Tolbert. le had heard, he . said, a peculiar noise ill tle store, but r led her to the gate, where he was met a by her sister, who said she woul take her inl and for him to go for help c to cateh the negro. le did so. In a - short time-Ienl were leavin.", town in d droves. I)r. 0. P'. Neel welit to the W01ouded girl at, once inl an automo bile, MIr. Tolbert having caught him by 'phonle I'roil the tIearest 'plhole to i lie Brooks home. I)r. Neel thinks shie will recover. I )eteriniled hani scoured the coun try. The ne-ro was traced to tih lilard Lahor Creek swamp. Oi tihie way lie . made an old negro, Watt Ilackett, give him a hlt, having (11opped his own inl thel Brooks store. He had tlie shoes umider his arm, Hackett said. His Brother's Example. An inexplicable tlhing inl connection with , the erime is that this negro's brother, Jake Davis, was lynched in Greenwood eounity about 12 years ago lfor criminial assault upon i an old lady, Mrs, Muinday. Bob Davis had his brother's fate before-him, yet lie at t(Ilpted worse; Woul have murdered his vietim bef'ore the deed. Assaults Negro Woman.

Will Recover. IMiss Brooks says that she was fighting so lesperately for her life and her lionoir that she was unable I to give the alarm by screaming. Hei resete was purely accidental. Mr. 1 Tolbert, passing i In his bIggy, did not lknow that aiiyt hing unusual was going oii in the store, hcaring. oily a slight I noise, blit the store is so nleari' tle read that (the net.ro bweamle frighltenecd \%wicn he heard the buggy and gave up the unequal fight lie had beeni waging with the brave girl.

Mr. Tolbert, who wa a brave ('on federate s.ldlieir, w"ith lis 3 little granchild in the( buggy with him, -faed the mob fearlessly until his horse, -wounded, ran away wvith him frocm the crowd in the opposite di rei-ct ion.-* The scenei) of -the (ontriage is he tween (Greenwoodi and Phoenix, a lit tle off the i'oad running bectween these two places. It is about five miles from Or'eenwvood t.owii, to the southi. The Bell place, where tihe nege later assaultedi the negro woman, is ab)out two miles from the Bi'ooks home. All of that portion of the country is being seachled almost foot by foot, and it wlbemarv~elous if the negro is niot cap)ture'd. At one time it wvas thought that he was surrounded ini a swamp but if he was he made his escape. Love of Idleness. Londtoin Chronicle.
