MURDEROUS ASSAULT. Ncgio Who Says He Is From New- ] berry Tried to Cut Preacher's R Throat at Troy. Great excitement prevailed at Troy, ! i^ Greenwood county, Thursday afterni.Km over a murderous assauil made hv ?ief.ro upon Rev. R. P. Bradley, the highly esteemed pastor of the Associate He formed Presbyterian i church \it Long- Cane. The negro, John SnbVj'y came from Georgia some j months ago>'\w] was employed by f Mr. Bradley uiU^jhis farm. , The negro resdtjfed some order or ! 9 reprimand given l/,y Mr. Bradley and I made an attack wn him with a knife. ? ? Mr. Bradley \y>;.s cut twice, once on I each side ol'.hiis throat, and also had 1 a long gash across his back. The negro at once fled. I Sheriff McMillan, as soon as the ' news reached home, left in an auto- 1 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 1 highly esteemed citizens of the conn- ' ty. He is about sixty years old and { a leading minister of his denoraina- J tion, and is known all over the state. 1 The serious condition of Mr. Brad- ' ley caused all interest to center up- ' on getting- a physician and the nemo ( 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 v his 10-year-old son were with the ' negro setting- out potato slips. The ' negro was doing his work very poor- ' ly. Mr. Bradley reprimanded him. 1 The second time the negro picked up 1 a rock and threw it at Mr. Bradley, ' striking him on the right cheek, in- 1 flieting a terrible blow, which dazed 1 him, though he did not fall. The ne, -i'? then drtnv his pocket knife, made a long gash on one side of his throat, another on his arm and then across his breast and still another, the long- I est gash of all, down his back. Mr. Bradley's son, it is said, struck the . negro with a hoc. but the cutting- was | done almost before either realized u I'j; what the negro intended to do. Mr. t Bradley was at once carried to the Is y house and medical aid summoned. c Arrested by Clinton Police. * I Greenwood, July 20.?Thcv negro, * ^ John Suber, who made the savage ~ attack upon Rev. R. Foster Bradley 0 at Troy Thursday, was captured this (' morning- at Clinton by Chief Reed 1 of that place. Chief Rccd did a splen- 51 did piece of work in capturing the r negro, lie received a postal card description of him at 7 o'clock this morning- and at ltl o'clock lie had his a man in a cell. He brought him to ,| Greenwood shortly after on llie Sea- | bortrd southbound vestibule. The' negro confessed the crime to Chief ' Reel. Sheriff McMillan, not know-' lug thai Suber had confessed, had I 1 a son of Mr. IJradley to identity ^u-'t her. i The young man says his father is doing as well as could be expected, but that he gets very little rest. r Chief Reed of Clinton says lie saw 1 the negro drinking water at a pump this morning and saw he was a strange t negro. As he walked away he no- j t tictd the bow legs and then felt sure t he had the right one. Later on when j 6 arrested the negro at first attempted t() I get off bv plausible tales of being . elsewhere. | ( When asked why he did it, Suber i told him he had to do it. Said Mr. | ' Bradley "hollered" at him, that then j 1 he .just got mad and "had to do it.", Suber says he is from the Five Forks . section of Newberry county. This is j . probably not his first offense. ITe i is now in jail and there is no fur-j \ ther excitement. lie lately lived in j ' Georgia. ! * i f MAJ. J. C. HEMPHILL. ! c ' I Buffalo Paper Calls Attention To His J 4 Eminent Fitness For The United j 1 States Senate. i s"r 7 , a Buffalo (K. Y.) Kvening News. I Three men are recognized leaders beyond others in the press of the r South. They are Henry Watterson of n the Louisville Courier-Journal, Clark n Howell of the Atlanta Constitution, ^ and James C. Hemphill of the Char- a j leston News and Courier. Col. Wat- ? | terson has never held political office k but has rather declined all propo- ti sitions involving public station. Mr. d I Howell has been long among the lead- ^ ing politicians and statesmen of Gcorgia both as editor of the newspaper _ first made famous by Ihc unrivaled v brilliancy of the late Henry Grady tl and as member of the legislature and presiding officer in turn in both a branches of that, body, and also as ? ^ son in abstaining from public office.. u k but his friends have taken the busi- tl A' ncss in their own hands ami arc mak-1 niy; yrcat progress in a i?ninpai.uu in 11is behalf for the scat in tlu> I'liitcil Slates Senate now hold by Senator Latimer, whoso term expires with the present Congress in 1900. OL' his eminent fitness for that ureal ollice t here is ni> Voom for doubt. I lis work Lor twenty years as the divecting mind and chief editorial writer of the Xews and oC'nrier has been of so admirable a character in breadth of view, soundness of argument from his premises, and enenry of statement, as to have made him the most influential man in his state for the welfare of South Carolina. Major Hemphill has nature's gift i>f a superb personal presence and thai rare finish of manner which has >een characteristic for generations of the finest type of the Southern genlleinan. Tie has added to the collegiate training of his youth the further advantages of continual contact with public men and close acquaintance with public affairs, lie has acquired the wisdom of years while his ?ye is not dimmed nor bis natural force abated. lie "will not resort to lie pitchfork as a weapon of offense ijrainst the president to thr lasting injury of the state and her loss of influence which really belongs to her hough represented by a senator opposed in politics to (lie national cxc ntive. Most of the public business is done vith small regard for political points, ieasonable men in I he Senate can do veil for their states though not V?f ho majority on party questions, Tf ilajor Hemphill is olectod he will fill he position so ably and yet with such irbanity of temper and manner as to epeat the proud days of Ike Palmetto sate and regain for it that degree of espeet and power which the old com11011 wealth has justly enjoyed >for generations. ?? ! i CAN'T GET CHARTER. )ecision in Georgia Against Colored Pythians. , ? t The state supreme court of door- i ia in a decision handed down held hat the negro Knights of Pythias houbl not lie allowed to secure a barter from the state.

Take Ugs, carpets, curtains, draperies and lattrcsses into the open air and beat nd brush all dust out of them and ive them a good sunning. While they re out clean the rooms as you did tho ttic. To cleanse varnished nnd oiled woodwork and furniture pour some erosene upon a soft clean rag and rub thoroughly. The work will be well one, and tho odor will soon pass away, 'his Is the time to examine all bedteads and tho walls to see that no verlln are lodged therein. Ilere, too, the ' ood housekeeper will find kerosene inalnable. It will destroy vermin and lielr eggs if liberally applied. Carpets may he washed after they re, tacked down.
