The threatened riot is thus averted. 1 W. F. C. ; Ridgeland. June 11.?Excitement that may result in serious trouble holds ithe village of Bluffton in its grasp. Late tonigM it is said the feeling is near the danger mark and * ? ? -3 ! ?. /*\ fa clasfr may De-txpecieu u-cl vv ecu white citizens and negroes. The town authorities are reported as taking T,_ j\ chances and the town has been pii%L xeted to prevent an outbreak pending the arrival of the militia and officers f-rom Beaufort. The soldiers and sheriff's deputies under command of Lieut. Hv C. Townsend and Sheriff M. O'D. White, are reported hurrying to the excited village in launches. Sheriff Porter of Jasper is on the scene and assisting in the preservation of order. The trouble began last evening Tt-Vion a rt^crrn nftterrmted to assault the wife of a prominent young attorney and failing in the effort made his escape. Today a negro answering the description of the fugitive was shot and killed while resisting arrest, it is said. The-fatal shot was fired toy E. F. Hammond, State detective. The young woman attacked by the negro is said to have s-een the dead negro and declared that he is not the man who attempted the assault last night. This development in the already serious situation brought about i & condition tthat was considered f*erious enough to call for assistance from Beaufcrt in the shape of soldiers and sheriff's deputies. In the meantime a negro answering the descrip tion of th-e fugitive furnished from Bluffton has been arrested and com| mitted to the Jasper jail at Ridgeland where he will be held pending identiIficaiticn. Posses from Bluffton are searching for the negro who attempted the assault but weather conditions make the search hard and the pursuers are proceeding with difficult}'. % The attempt at criminal assault is said to have been made about 7.30 o'clock last night. The young woman, the wife of a well known attorney, was alone in her home when a negro entered through the front door and I grabbed her around the neck. With I the wonderful strength of the frenzied the young woman wrenched herself from the negro's grasp and rushed to the home of a neighbor, her I -- -- screams giving >the alarm and calling j -citizens hurriedly to the scene. The alarm spread with great rapidity and in a short time the search for he negro was on. The object of the hunt was described as about six feet, one *iioh in height, of slim build and a dark linger cake color. His age was estimated at 30 years. The search I ' of the evening was fruitless and it was renew-ed this morning with no ereater success. The regro arrested here was taken In cusirdy by the chief of police and lodged in jail awaiting identification from Bluffton.. Telegrams were sent to chiefs of I police in all nearby towns giving the accepted description of the negro and calling on these officers to be on the sharp lookout. Many citizens of Jasper county hurried to Bluffton, going from Ridgeland in automobiles and other towns in Jasper and Beaufort sent men to the scene of trouble which may grow more serious.

One evening a few weeks after the wedding that strict cold water crank, Papa MeStubbins, dropped in to call. He found his daughter all alon-e. After a while he asked: "Where is Christopher?" "Well, the fact is, Christopher isn't feeling very well this evening." "Is that so? What seems to be the matter?" "Well-er-the fact is-er-Christopiier is suffering from a bad attack of i of-propinquity." "Propinquity?propinquity," repeated the puzzled old gentleman. "That's a disease I never heard of.

Amateur Forecaster Talks of Weather Conditions and Prospects. The State, i:>tn. W. P. Houseal, of Columbia, who is known eveywhere in South Carolina : as the "Dutch weather prophet," has ; not retired from tie special series of forecasts of temperature and pre^initatinn in xrhich he has achieved I ? - I I State-wide notoriety, but it is well known in the city that ^ome of his , recent predictions have been fulfilled to the letter. Mr. Houseal said yesterday that he i had been devoting more time to the study of causes of weather changes the past year than to making predic+Tio npwsnflnfirs. He HUiiO UllUU^Il 1-UV uvn ^r-r has given out, however, quite a num| ber of predictions casually as he | would come and go in attending to , his regular business as a newspaper ! man. At the beginning of the yeaT he predicted a short fruit crop in many sections, especially of the peach crop, which would be almost a totp.l ; failure in sections in the north where some of the choicest fruit is produced. tVio nni'cniil warm weather in Jan juary and February did not deter the I "Dutch weather prophet" from preI didting that March and April would I show lower temperatures than either i of the two . winter months of 1913. Then also a series of unseasonably cool periods was forecasted to occur at regular intervals of a fortnight through April and May, and the influences at work which caused these I unseasonable period* would come to I a climax with a similar cool period in June, 30 days from (the similar period in May. ^ The population just at this time, while they shiver at 54 degrees in an inclement temperature, have not forgotten so soon that fires w^ com1 ? 1A 10 If rpnrt thfi lonauie iviaj h ? newspaper carefully they also will ! recall that killing frosts occurred on the northern boundary of the State I and were disastrous to vegetables and fruit from that point still northward. I There was one element of weather, however, Mr. Houseal said yesterday, _ +Vta r>nr?l TVPriods. in l<lIKlUg auuuii UiU ^ , that people he meets- every day desir ed very much, a:.d which at the time he could give no hope that would be , forthcoming when they wanted it, and that was rain in May. i Early in the year his prediction i was that the absence of rain in May would amount to 1 drought, and he set May 21 as the day when the idrought would be broken. The "Dutch j weather prophet" was obdurate. He ' J * +V>/\ fnror>9 5t The W0U1Q XIUL uuaugc ljulc rain came as predicted, insufficient in quantity in many sections, but abundant in others. It was a starter, and, as the Dutch weather prophet again assured all inquirers, before a change came for a long period of sunshine the showers would cover the whole country, adhering to the fortnightly periods which rule until (the summer solstice, which occurs June 20. The next general disturbance will ' T 10 nnrirxr. tn a centre arouna juut LO} UYTIUJ) WV va major planetary movement on that date. v < Cool nights are to prevail during the greater period of the summer, ,vwbich Mr. Houseal says are the re! suit of the four-year period that occurred this year on March 22 and caused the Omaha cyclone and the jOhio flood, having been shifted from j March 4 to the above date by the magnetic influence of the sun in Connection with the position which the Tuniter assumed on (that time. ; u ? i The assurance is also given by the ! long distance forecast of the Dutch: weather prophet that the South Atlantic coast will not be visited this year by a West Indian storm. The four-year period likewise has a con trolling influence that it nullifies at the equinoxial date the atmospheric movements which around the vernal equinox produces inland disturbances i similar to the Omaha tornado of Easter Sunday. >"ow, Sow!
