o'olocfk on a charge of attempted crim
inal assault ityon the Kl-year -old
daughter of a farmer flviug in the up
per portion of Richland county Boyd
was (placed under Arrest by Mayor Gar
rison as he was in the act of indors
ing u check, Richland county officers
were close behind the fugitive and
reached Camden about 15 mluutes aft
er lloyd had been lodged In prison.
Hoyd told officers he was the man they
were looking for.
Richland and Kershaw county offi
cers perfected plans . to bring the
negro to Columbia for safekeeping
and Boyd Waf <011 his way to the pen
itentiary early this morning. Cam*
den of/leers detoured tbe prisoner to
avoid j>oskH>1o trouble.
.Boyd made a vicious attack on the
girl at 7 o'clock yesterday morning
within 75 yards of her home, where
her mother was attending household
duties, according to officers. The lit
tle girl sounded the alarm and the
brave mother followed the negro and
nroused neigl?9>ors as she followed In
pursuit. Alined men joined in the
chase and in a short time nearly 2<X)
men were scouring the woods and open
land in search of Boyd. The victim
of the attack escai>ed serious injury,
ncording to reports.
? Richland county officers left Colum
bia as soon as the news was received.
Charles Ufa vis, deanity sheriff led them
in the race to overtake the fugitive.
W. II. Rawlinon, Catlin Bickley and
officers Neeley and Trotter formed the
squad from Sheriff Heine's office. No
tices were sent to "\Yinnd?oro, Camden
and other point' and all roads were
covered with .men armed with ahot
Kuns and pistols. Officers and volun
teers walked more than. 15 miles
5 through thickets and over plowed land
following the tracks of the negro. The
officers trailed Boyd to tbe river bank
and proceeded to cross the stream and
enter Camden. On arriving t'here they
learned that Mayor Carrlson had cap
lured tbe fugitive in, the Bank of Cam
den as he was affixing bis signature
to a check., An investigation showed
that. Boyd's clothing was torn and h{s
shirt almost in slvrcds, Indicating that
the negro had passed through thickets
on bis run toward Camden where his
sister lived.
Sheriff Welch. Deputy' Sheriff MrQ
Ix'od, Constable Stokes n nd Chief
Whlttaker of Camdfn -participated fn
1hC search foT"~BoyTt and ? thc^y Iiif<T
placed men at various (points to head
off the fugitive.
Richland county officers quest lofted
Boyd after ?his arrest and they say the
negro admitted thai he was "the one
that tusHlcnK with the girl." Tired and
hungry, ihe officers " from Sheriff
Heise's office returned to Columbia
yesterday afternoon at 5.1 B o'clock.
They left Boyd, in charge of Kershaw
county and Camden officers, who had
planned to bring the ne?ro to the pen
itentiary in safety.
The public roads leading to the
Watereo bridge. near Camden were
blocked with motor ears during the
chase. Angry citizens of Richland and
Kershaw counties were making every
effort to capture Boyd and , there was
much rejoicing when it was announced
that the negro had been taken Into
custody.
Officers Davis. Rawllnson. BickJey.
Trotter and Neelcy talked interestingly
<>f the chase. They left Columbia on
*hort notice early jn the morning and
(racked the fugitive over flowed fields
and through swamp land*. Determined
volunteers walked with the officers
and every Inch of ground for many
acres was covered during the pursuit.
Mayor Carrison of Camden scored
another hit yesterday in criminal af
fairs. "Last week he arretted a liquor
salefanan when he was asked to make
a trade and yeterday his gtsxl judg
ment resulted in the capture of Boyd.
Officers pay Boyd has been employed
on a farm in the neighborhood of the
attack fer seeral years and that he
was regarded as a "#oo<1 negro" until
yesterday.
Boyd wil be tried in Richland coun
' v and he will l?e given a speedy trial.
Criminal court opens . i n Columbia next
Monday and It is* probable that So
1 i<-i tor Splgner will hand out an In
'Motment early in the session elinrging
Boyd with attempted criminal assault.

Kendall requested Ixn-kwood, . rtrwn
Ik Co., to continue to manage
these mills until the Lewis .company
was projHMly organized to enter the
field <?f manufacturing cotton cloth In
addition to their regular business as
bleachers and finishers. This tem
porary period has continue*! longer
than at first anticipated, namely, for
six years,
In athlitlon to the taking over of
these plants, the Lewis Manufactur
ing. comfo >auy Is to purchase two other
mills in South Carol inn on which
they have held options for some time.!
According to a local re]>ort received
from an authoritative source, the
Lewi* company is to abandon its local
plant and move .South. I^abor condi
tions force this move, it is said.
In a statement ?--issued to a corres
pondent of The State this evoning, Pre
sident Kendall refused to comment on
the reported moving of the local plant
South.
"We 'are now prepared to operate
these two plants In SoutJi Carolina j
in conjunction With the Lewis Manu

"The Lewis company is sole owner of
tho Water ee aj[id Addison mills and

able and fitting, J think. In addl-j

They stopped, their oar on DeKaH*

bis name as J. '1\ Ward, froiu Aiken
called upon Mayor H. 0. Garrison, Jr.,
and told him that a friend had given
him his name as one who might want
to make a purchase of monio Scotch
whiskey. Mayor (Harrison's wits were
put to work at onoe, and he told him
he would, and that he had a friend who
also would llke*to get some, and Invit
ed him to a<vompany him. They
walked up street together for a short
distance and as soon as Mr. Carrlson
located n policeman he eaWed him. The
fellow expressed sunrise that he would
put a policeman on him. and Mr. Gar
rison told 1 1 i in that was exactly what
he was going to do, that ho was Mayor
of till# town. The fellow lit out run
ning, the officer right behind him.
