While sitting k in her room and everything quiet k, aroundl, she heard the front door fly k open, and a woman's voice cry "save a me," and through the hall the woman gi ran, and hid herself in the closet in t the kitchen. When Mrs. Bradham t< entered the hall to see what the trou- re ble was, the pursuer of this screaming r woman was standing there with an a open knife in his hand. He asked her nm if a woman hadn't just run through a] he house, but without losing her nerve al in the least she ordere< the negro out, a and he left. She then sent for Po- a liceman Peavey, and the man was E locked up. It seems that Jodie James t saw another "nigger" walking with t his wife, and he at once got jealous and decided to make hash out of her, but wifie was on the alert and took refuge in Mrs. Bradham's kitchen, as that was the nearest house to her.

For the week ending April 13th, there had been sold in this County over $7,000 worth as against about $1,500 that had been reported prior to that time. From what I can gather the report for ghe week ending April 20th will show about $5,000 worth more sold. The allotment for this County is $20 for every man, woman and child. This will aggregate something over $600, 000. It will readily be seen that in order for us to come up to our full quota, we will have to sell over $10,000 worth each week. Nebraska has already sold its allotment. Kansas, Missouri, Ohio and other States are near the top. South Carolina is at, or near the bottom. We certainly should be wvilling to lend our money to the Government. I therefore appeal to every person in thme (.'unty to purchase thlese Stammps, ndl as far as possible to buy them sys Ltemat:r-ally each week, or at least every month. They may bei obtained at rFosoffices, banks, stores and oth er nlaces of business. S. OLIVER O'BRYAN, County Chairman. Notice .My land near Brewington Church iposted.

In some in stances, the men, reluctant to face tife penalty, have deserted. "Every soldier wants to receive let ters from home," said the war depar-. ment's statement. "They should Tbe frequent, cheerful, hopeful and appre ciative of the sacrifice that h is mak ing for his -country. They should be full of family incidents and cheerful home gossip. They should protect him from the trifling alarms and the small annoyances of every day life. They should encourage him by giving full confidence that his family and his friends stand behind him in the great enterprise he has undertaken." -W-S-S BARON RICHTHOFEN KILLED IN FRANCE London, April 22.-Captain Bar mn von Richthofen, th. famous German. aviator, has been killed, Reuter's coF r spondent at British headquasrters re. l orts. 0 The cIllt: !h was brought nown i, the Somme -alley.
