A dispatch from Lexington says Coot Lever, the negro who attempted to criminally assault the young wife of a prominent Dutch Fork farmer, at her home near Pinej Woods Church Nlouday afternoon between.the hours of 1 and 2 o'clock, was lodged in the Lexington jai. %<4 -by .'Deputy Sheriff Miller Tuesday ' W. morning about 2 o'clock, after the most exciting race that officer hasever known. Lever wbb captured in the hou.se of another negro neai the town of Chapin. The train for Columbia was soon due, and it was the first intention of the officer to carry his man b> rail, but before the train arrived Mr. Miller heard the posse coming on horseback and he at once secreted the negro until a buggy could be ecurod. In the meantime the angrj cbowd was scouring the whole ne'gh borbood round about, seekiug th? whereabouts of the deputy. As soon as possible Constable L. L Roof hitched up his horse and me: I Mr. Miller a few hundred yards away j and the journey of fourteen iullet to the court house was begun. A: the party rode over the rought hills of Dutch Fork, they often imagined ' .that they heard the sound of horses -%ifeet right behind, and by the use . of the whin the horse was made tf increase his speed. When the rlvei was reached, it was found that tli ferryman. Mr. James Wise, had gom 'poBBum hunting. Realizing that m time must be lost, Mr. Miller toh -.flwr ?wtfe of the ferryman that h< ' Would leave the tint on the othe side, and the river was crossed. Almost before the officers hat cioftsed, however, they heard tin crowd ride up to the banks of tin river on the opposite side. Rut tn? flat was gone, and their plans wen again foiled for the time being, lly the time the parties on horseback crossed the river, the officers had almost reached Lexington. How ever, in the hope of overtaking tin men with the negro, eight of tin party rode on to Lexington, arriving there about fifteen minutes afte the officers. They rodo up to tin. jail armed to the teeth, and askeabout the negro, but no attempt at violence was shown. While Deputy Sheriff Miller war talking to the crowd, Constable Roof had Lever hid away in r.h? garden, the posse arriving before the negro could he placed in a ceil Some of the horseback riders had come the whole distance of eighteen miles bareback, so determined were they to bring vengeance nnon the assailant's head. The negro wns kept In the Jail until news wns received that a jnob was forcing, when he waa removed to the Penitentiary Just In time to avert an attack upon the jail. Story of the Crime. Monday between 12 and 1 o'clock, the negro was seen to walk quietly by the home of the woman, but no attention was paid to this at the time. As soon as the husband of the woman had gone to the field to plough, the negro returned and made his way into the yard, where the woman was banging up clothes. He made a most vicious attack, knocking the woman down by a severe blow with his fist. He grabbed her around the throat, and choked her down, tho finger nails of the brute brlngiug the blood frotn her neck. With almost superhuman effort the woman cried aloud to her husband, and the negro left before accomplishing his fiendish purpose. To the oWcers Lever has confessed, laying the blame to what he calls a "Hoot Iloctor." He says that he owed the doctor a bill, and being unable to pay it, the doctor told him that he would cause him to get in trouble. He says that he was "conjured," and could not help It. Lever is of a light gingercake color. and Is under 3 0. He has been working for different people in the community, last for Mr. Chas. P. Robinson, of Chapln, where he turned up later. Five Men K*ten.

' The Celebration of the Opening of Traffic of the Carolina, Clinchfleld J and Ohio Railway. Last Friday was a great day for the city of Spartanburg and the Stato of South Carolina, when that city celebrated the opening to traffic of the Carolina, Clinchfleld and Ohio Railway. The railway had just been completed to Spartanburg, and that progressive city celebrated the event in keeping with its importance and aer own dignity as one of the great rade centers of South Carolina and the South. People from all over the State had gathered in Spartanburg to rejoice with her at the consutna.ion of one of the greatest events in her history, and partake of her generous hospitality. The great event of the occasion transpired on Friday, but the uight before a protracted demonstration was given that the road was completed by the arrival of a train from Johnson City, Tenn., and other joints, loaded with guests from Tennessee, Virginia and North Carolina, including the officials of the new rall.vay. This train reached Spartauburg between eight and nine o'clock Thursday night and was greeted by thousands of people who had lined he track to welcome it to Spartanjurg. The train, as it Blowly passed to the'.Union Station, gave one long, ontinuotis whistle, which wa.inswered by the cheers of tji*' tembiei thousands. Friday morning everybody, ot lenrly everybody, went ont to the -'air Grounds, where a first-class fair .vas in operation, and where the arrival of that train was to be ccle>rated In a style befitting its great .mportance to Spartanburg and the est of the State. The weather was deal, and everything else seemed >.0 be greased for the occasion, so smoothly did everything pass off The crowd numbered many thousands, and every one seemed to be tappy and entered into the celobraion of the occasion with vim and enthusiasm. Spartanburg was happy, and so were all who had gone there to reloiee with her on the great occasion. A little after eleven o'clock th? neeting waH called to order by Dr. T. N. Snyder, President of Wofford 'ollege. who presided with his UBual ;race and ease. He introduced th? speakers who were to make address's. As a preliminary, Dr. Snydei >aid a glowing tribute to President leorge F,. Carter, of the Carolina ^linchfleld aud Ohio railroad, who. le said, had made the celebration possible. He declared that the link ng of the rails would bring iutt loser relation, not only commercially, but industrially, the people of th< Bast and the West, so long harrl-aded against each other by what leomed to be an insurmountable ango of mountains. Judge A. A. I'hiegar, vice presilent of the new railroad, was the irst speaker upon the program, hisaddress being delivered externporan ously. He declared that a brighter sun never shown than that which speeded the departing trains from lohnson City, and that a warmer .velcome never greeted a party of travelers than that which they had found in the city of Spartanburg, as the trnin pulled into the I station Thursday evening. Judge 1'hlegar declared that the welding of the rails binding many States together, not only cemented commercial and industrial interests of many States, but were love-ties betwwn the various sections of the country. And he prayed that these love-ties might be everlasting. Judge 1'hlegar touched upon the great cotton mills of this section, giving statistics. Admitting that the railroads were often in the wrong, Judge I'hlegar pointed to the fact that sometimes the public, too, being human, was at fa tilt, and lie asked of the people a square deal for the C., C. & O. railroad and promised the same in behalf of tilt- road. PhefT-s ?*? * It"' air in response to this utterance. Mayor Rhett, of Charlestou. and other speakers, were introduced, who made appropriate addresses. Then ] came the barbecue, in which about j twelve hundred guests participated. < It was one of the best managed and < conducted affairs of the kind that , we have any knowledge of. The } barbecue ended the celebration, and ( after it was over the large crowd | that enjoyed it dispersed. The whole * celebration was happily conceived c and carried out without a hitch. t BRKAKS THK IIK(X)III). t ? t Lieut. Iaihin Makes a I/>nK Flight in ail Army Hiplunc.

I rh< FIGHTING THE FARMER HAT A FARMER'S UNION PAPER SAYS ABOUT THE MILLS. hotting Down, and Claim* That It Is an Effort to Keep the Cotton Grower Down. The following articles from the armers' Union News, of Union ity, G?.. brings out some things bout the mill curtailment that we ever heard before. The first article ijs: The presidents, vice presidents nd owners of cotton mills throughut the South are organized into hat is called the American Cotton lanufacturers Association. Sueh ten as S. B.

They were some of the plotters in thiR fabulously prosperous eld of business. Their cotton mills nd others have paid enormous divlends, in many cases as much as rom ten to forty per cent profit n highly watered stock. And yet the present president of be A. C. M. A., Mr. Lewis W. Parker f Greenville, 8. C., at the instance f Smythe, Tompkins and Tanner. a? just called a meeting of the oard of governors for the purpose f fighting the increase in the price f cotton to thirteen cents, by shutiug down the mills, or at beast unning them on half or quarter lme. Some of these men whose ortunes ,n%e increasing by leaps nd bounds as a result of their mauifaeturing cotton, ride in nutoniomileg live in the most luxurious horns. and even spend their summers broad, enjoying all the very best hings of life, while wo producers f the raw material, the basis of heir income, struggle from early rtorn until dewy eve in order to ;eep body and soul together. And when we g>'t together for he mere purpose of securing a fair rice, yes. the mere cost of producng cotton, they prepare to fight is tooth and nail, in this brutal ashion. But this is not the firHt nstance. Mr. Dnnte Aikeuside "ompkins of Charlotte, then presilent of the A. C. M. A., went abroad n 1907, with the present president f the A. C. M.

Yes, ifr.

Every hardware store showwindow has them displayed to tempt the boys to buy the.a. \s then very nine game to snoot with them, \ I can't see wtiy parents will a'.lcw their boys to have then:. Mo.-t ;.ar'ontR thLnk them toys, nn'l when j harm In done to an Innocen* person 400 yards away they wi.i say | 'accident.' A shotgun wi*h Kmall shot would not do much damage at 150 yards, and if the hoys would shoot shotsunn they could see anyone at that distance and would not shoot them. But It is different with the rifle, as it is liable to kill some one out of sight of them when they shoot small birds on fences and hushes the right height to give the right elevation. I hope the next Legislature will take up this nuisance and see If there can't he some law passed to remedy the evil." Men cannot gain succ ss hy waiting for it to come to them.
