Fester Floyd, aged 13, of Fork Township, Anderson county, is being held in jail in Anderson charged with assault and battery with intent to criminally assault an eight year old giil of the same township. The war rant was sworn out by the girl's mother. According to official report, the girl was badly beaten about the face, limbs and body about 9 o'clock Thursday morning, after resenting al leged insulting remarks made to her by the lad, who is the son of Bunyon Floyd. Information received here indicates that the girl was on her way to summer school, which is in session at Folk school house, when upon getting near a saw mill, the boy ap proached her and is said to have made improper advances i.o her. Re senting the boy's remarks, the girl ran in the direction of her destination. Young Floyd picked up a stiek and running after her, struck her several blows, inflicting painful wounds. Upon reaching the school house, al most exhausted byTTPTMiUig run, the girl related her encounteT - to the teacher, who rushed the gill to her home in a motor car. The mother of the child went to Townville, after hearing the giri's version and swore out the warrant before Magistrate K. B. Farmer, under which the boy is held in Anderson county jail. When questioned about the alleged attack the j)oy maintained his silence. The girl's condition is not considered se rious. although she is suffering from a bad cut on her light thigh as the result of the incident. It is claimed by scientists that the result of taking from the earth sucn vast quantities of oil, relieving as ii mtist certain pressure from within the earth, may prove serious. TYie [exact nature of such results is, of course, merely a matter for specula tion. Testing the .Meters. Mr. K. R. Banner, of Charlotte, N. C\, associated with the Southern Elec trical testing laboratories, is in Cam den working in connection with the superintendent of the City Water and Light Plant, testing the electrical meters of this city. This is being done in order that both the consumer and the plant gets the correct read ing on the meters by putting them in shape so that they register correctly. This is done periodically in all of the cities where electric current is used. r?v 100 % Ghwu(m4 n NO CHARGES "WE KNOW ITS MERITS" Camden Drug Company Clyburn Drug Company W, R. Zemp, Druggist Zomp & DePaas, Druggist* CHEAT THIBl'TE TO NE(ilU) Capital City Store* Clone During Funeral of "I'ncle" Jaggera. Columbia, Aug. 121. - 'Uncle" Jag gers was buried this afternoon and all Columbia mourned. From 3:90 to 4 o'clock all business was sus pended in the capital city of South Carolina while her citizens, irrespec tive of creed or color, paid tribute to the Rev, Charles Jaggers, 93, negro, former slave, and missioner to the poor, who died Monday. One tribute to "Uncle" J aggers' memory was in the form of a proclamation by Mayor W. A. Coleman, asking all stores to close and the citizens ?f Columbia to observe the thirty minutes' period during the funeral services. Far greater though was the trib ute paid by. .the nearly 4,000 persons, a white, who crowded the Bethel A. M. E. Church this aXtcrnon for the lust rites. Hun dreds stood outside with bared heads in a drizzling rain; For thirty min utes a solid line, passed the bier where the body lay and the kindly wrinkled black fate smiled peacefully at those who countless times had do nated to his fa\*orite charities, a negro mission and a negro old folks home. "Father" Jaggers, as he was known among the negroes, and "Uncle" Jaggcrs to his "white folks," knew his end was near, and, according to the Rev. E. A. Adams, negro pas tor of Bethel Church, who conducted ?the services, said the evening before he died: "I'm ready, brother, an' I knows I'se got a through ticket To Heaven. Look out for my old folks and teach the young folks the right way to live." Dr. II. K. Murchison, I). I)., dean of the Columbia Theological Semi nary. paid the tribute of the white people in a eulogistic address and assisted in the funeral services. "We are all one in Christ Jesus,'' said Dr. Murchison, "and those who live such a life as has 'Uncle' Jag gcrs gain the respect, admiration and love of all." Attending the funeral were Mayor I Coleman, of Columbia; Edward A., McDowell, "personal representative j Governor Thomas G. McLeod; Gen.! W. A. Clarke, head of the local camp I of Confederate Veterans; W. K. Gon zales, editor of The State; Charleton Wright, editor of The Record, and many other prominent Columbians. County officials and members of city council also attended. The county court house was closed this afternoon in respect to the memory of "Uncle" Jaegers. '"Uncle" Jaggers was laid to rest amid a mass of floral tributes sent; by friends of both races, not only ! in Columbia anil South Carolina, but i from many parts of the United1 States. Almost the last words pro- ? nounced today liefoVe the body was ' lowered to its final resting place was I the quotation from I'hillipians 2:5 which the negro divine had used as his only text in the numberless ser mons during the seventy-five years of his preaching, "Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus." Charles Jaggers was born a slave on the estate <>f Lemuel Kstes in Chester county, S. C., in March, 1831, j and as a youth spread- the Gospel as ; he termed it "from the fence eor- j ners." When eighteen h?* was or dained a preached in the African Methodist Episcopal Church. He f preached in a mission he sponsored, i at the chain gang camps and prisons , and conducted the old folks home for a salary which he allotted himself. I The annua! stipend was one copper ? cent. ( A fund to create a memorial to "Uncle" Jaggers has been started by the afternoon paper and many were , the contributions received today. Diamonds and jewelry valued at % 1 r?0,0(>0 were stolen by four men who held up the clerks in the store of Carl H. Skinner, diamond merchant in Boston, Tuesday. One man remained in the automobile, two covered the, three clerks with revolvers, while the fourth picked up the jewelry cases which had just been removed from the safe. The real loss, the manage ment said, might prove to be much ' greater when inventory ha* been . checked. The jewelry taken includes diamonds, bracelet*, and brooches and platinum goods.
