MURDEROUS ASSAULT. Negro Who Says He Is From New berry Tried to Cut Preacher's Throat at Troy. \ (;reat exeitenelt preva.ed at Troy. in Greenwood couinty. Thur.day after notbn over a murderous "sIault made by a, negro upon Rev. R. F. Bradley, the lii-hly esteemed pastor of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian church at Lonz Cane. The negro. John Subgr, came from Georgia some months ago and was employed by Mr. Bradley upon his farm. The negro re-ented some order or reprimand given y Mr. Bradley and made an attack on him with a knife. Mr. Bradlev' was cut twice, once o) each side P his throat, and also had a long across his back. The ne gro at once fled. Sheriff MeMillan, as soon as the ,news reached home, left in an auto mobile for Troy. The dogs owned by the county were at Epworth, some twenty miles from Troy, but they were at once ordered to the scene. Mr. Bradley was one of the most highly esteemed citizens of the coun ty. He is about sixty years old and a leading minister of his denomina tion. and is known all over the state. The serious condition of Mr. Brad ley caused all interest to center up on getting a physician and the negro had plenty of time to get a good start before pursuit was instituted. The crime was committed about 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Mr. Bradley and his 16-year-old son were with the negro setting out potato slips. The negro was doing his work very poor ly. Mr. Bradley reprimanded him. 'The second time the negro picked up a roek and threw it at Mr. Bra'dley, striking him on the right eheek, in flicting a terrible blow., which dazed him. though he did not fall. The ne gro then drtw his pocket knife, made a long gash on one side of his th_roat, another on his arm and then across his breast and still another, the long est gash of all, down his back. Mr. .radliy's son, it is said, strudk the Snegro with a hoe, but the cutting was done almost before either redized what the negro intended to do. Mr. Bradley was at once carried to the house and medical aid summoned. Arrested by Clinton Police. SGreenwood, July 20.-Ther negro, John Suber, who made the savage attack upon Rev. R. Foster Bradley at Troy Thursday, was captured this morning at Clinton by Chief Reed of that place. Chief Reed did a splen did piece of work in capturing the negro. He received a postal card description of him at 7 o'clock this morning and at 10 o'clock he had his njon in a cell. He brought him to Greenwood shortly after on the Sea board southbound vestibule. The nezro confessed the crime to Chief Reed. Sheriff- McMillan, not know ing- that Suber had confessed, had a son/~ of Mr. Bradley to identify Su ber'. The young man says his father is ding as well as could be 'expected, -but that he gets very little rest. Chief Reed of Clinton says he saw the negro drinking water at a pupip this morning and saw he was a strange negro. As he walked away he no tietd the bow legs and thien felt sure he had the right one. Later on when arrested the negro at first at.tempted to get off by plausible tales of being elsewhere. When asked why he (lid it, Suber told him he had to do it. Said Mr. Bradley "hollered'' at him, that then he just got mad and ''had to do it.' Suber says he is from the Five Forks section of Newberry county. This is prbably not his first offense. He is now in jail and there is no fur ther excitement. He lately lived in Georgia. MAJ. J. C. HEMPHILL. Buffalo Paper Calls Attention To His Eminent Fitness For TIhe United States Senate. Buffalo (N. T.) Evening News. Three men are recogni.7ed leaders beond others in the press of the South. They are Henry Watterson of the Louisville Courier-Jonrnal, Clarb Howell of the Atlanta Constitution: and James C. Hemphill cf the Char leston News and Courier. Col. Wat terson has never held political oficet but has rather declined all propo sitions involving public station. Mr. Howell has been long among the lead ing politicians and statesmen of Geor. zia both as editor of the newspapel frst made famous by the unrivaie brilliancy of the late H6nry Graa3 and as member of the legislature an~ presiding officer in turn in boti branches of that body, and also a~ lieutenant governlor.

On in the contrary, she takes one floor at a h time, beginning at the attic and de- B. scending, last of all, to the cellar. In I4 the attic, first, the waste paper, old shoes, old garments and dilapidated household utensils naust be cleared ta out. Everything for which no good W Iuse can :e aa:.d should be destroyed. W It is foo!!sh to let old things that one de ne::. uses accumulate around a house. thi IL:ring got everything out of the at- ~w ti that edan 1i' removed sweep the ceil- im i.g thoroughily, sweep and wipe the Iis wW!:. clean the' woodwork and wash ti<j !: s windows. The easiest and quickest al vytoclean window glass is as fol- B: ow:Take apail ofclean, warm wa- gr ter and pour into it about a tablespoon- d ful of kerosene, stirring the oil into the d water. Have plenty of clean, soft w loths and a good sized soft chamois Q leather. First wash the window withm the kerosene mixture, then dry it with I a cloth, polishing finally with the leath er. This removes all lint. Wash the floor of your attic last, then let it su nd dry, and it will be ready to have its belongings put back in. Next day tackle the bedroom. Take rugs, carpets. curtains, draperies and mattresses into the open air and beat and brush all dust out of them and give them a good sunning. While they are out clean the rooms as you did the attic. To cleanse varnished and oiled woodwork and furniture pour some 4 kerosene upon a soft clean rag and rub thoroughly. The work will be well done, and the odor will soon pass away. This is the time to examine all bed steads and the walls to see that no ver min are lodged therein. Here, too, the' good housekeeper will find kerosene in valuable. It will destroy vermin and their eggs if liberally applied. Carpets may be washed after they are, tacked down. Use warm water in- , to which some liquid ammonia has been poured, a scrubbing brush and plenty of clean dry cloths. = For the third day of cleaning do the parlor, front hall and stairs, after that the dining room and kitchen and lastlg the cellar. . . . . le RELIGIOUS THOUGHT. ms Gleaned From the Teachings of Al Denominations. :f you are going to make home a par ise, let iove preside in it.-Rev.
