DARING ATTACK ON LITTLE GIRLS.
Negro Attempts to Assault Little White Girl in
Rock Hill.
Rock Hill, March 11.?An attempted
assault on a 14-year-old white girl was
made by a negro boy Saturday afternoon
near the Arcade cotton mills, in this city,
about 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Four
young girls, from 8 to 11 years 01 age,
left their homes in the mill village for a
neighbor's house to purchase milk. They
had gone to the house and secured the
milk and were returning home, when a
negro boy appeared before the oldest girl
in the party and made a disgraceful remark
to her. She, like the remaining
three girls, became frightened. The
negro caught hold of both of her arms
near the shoulders and tried to push her
to the ground. By this time her companions
had deserted her and she was
left in the woods with the negro. The
negro, who had a knife in his hand all of
the time, told her he would cut her
throat if she did not agree to do as he
had asked her. She screamed fiercely
while the negro continued to scuffle with
her. Presently the negro became frightened
and released her, after he had succeeded
in tearing some of her garments.
The negro made his escape by going
through the woods near by, from which
the young girls had just come.
The little girl went home and reported
the affair to her father. A negro boy
who had been cutting wood around over
the mill hill was at once suspected and
the city authorities were immediately
notified of the affair.
The negro in question is William
Crosby. Crosby had slipped around
through the woods and was brave enough
to come to Main street, and by 4 o'clock
that afternoon he had secured a job in
the meat market of Robbins & Wilsont
on Railroad avenue, in the heart of the
city. A little later he was arrested by
Officers Miller and Devinney in a store
just across from the depot and lodged in
the city guard house. He was arrested
about dark. It was the intention of
Chief Partlow to keep the negro in the
lock-up until the next morning, when he
would take the negro before the little
girls to identify him. Owing to the wild
excitement which was raging in the mill
village, be thought it best to get ^he
negro out of town just as soon as possible.
About 11 o'clock that night he slipped
the negro out of the guard house and
carried him to the mill village, where he
was identified by three of the young girls
as the man who had made the attempt.
Officer Langley was then told to take the
negro to Yorkville and lodge him in the
county jail and by 2 o'clock the orders
had been fulfilled.
The negro stated to Mr. Langley on
their way to Yorkville that he was 26
years of age. He also stated that he had
not been on the Arcade mill hill in over
a year. He was seen at the mill yesterday
about 12 o'clock collecting money
that was due him for work he had done
for the citizens at the mill.
The affair was not generally known
over the city until today, but the excitement
ran high all of Saturday night
among the mill people. Everything is
quiet now.
"An Editor" Defined.
The definition of an editor, given by
the Spectator in a review of the new edition
of Blake's poems, is worthy of quotation:
"A good editor in an immortal benefactor.
His work, unlike the work of the
critic, can never pass away. He loses
himself, subordinates all his personal predilections
and aims to the meaning of his
author, and his reward is perpetuity for
his work and oblivion, it may be, for himself.
He helps readers to their destination,
and like the engine driver of a train,
is forgotten as soon as they have arrive in
safety. He is like a perfectly transparent
window through which the light of his
author streams without diminution or
distortion; while the aesthetic and original
critics resemble a window of colored
glass which permits the passage of only
bo much light as will serve to set off the
pride of the artist."
Fellow Countrymen.
An English actor tells a story of an
Irishman named Flanagan, who had been
out of work for some time, and at length
applied to a circus proprietor for a position.
There was no regular place open, but
the manager looked Flanagan over and
said:
"Our largest lion died last week, but we
kept his skin, and if you like to get into
it, and be shown as a lion, you can have
the inb."
Flanagan agreed. At the first show the
proprietor stepped into the cage and said:
"Ladies and Gentlemen: To prove the
docility of this roaring lion, I shall order
him into the cage with a ferocious tiger."
Flanagan hung back, but the circus proprietor
prodded him with a sword and
threatened to run him through, and the
"lion" was driven into the same cage
with the tiger. There he backed into a
corner and cried, "spare me!"
Then the ferocious tiger jumped to his
feet and answered, "Ye needn't be afraid
of me. I'm an Irishman meslf! "?Western

Old-Fashioned "Circuit Riders/'
Eugene Wood, in "The Old-Time Revival,"
in Everybody's, describes as follows
the "circuit-riders" who used to distribute
religion to our forbears:
"Never before was there such a spreading
of the Gospel. The aureoled saints
that converted Europe were but a feeble
folk beside them, slow-motioned, temporizing.
They were unlearned men, these
circuit-riders. As one of them has said,
they 'murdered the king's English at
every lick,' but they had power given
unto them to move the hearts of men,
such power as we can only estimate by
first reading the accounts of camp meetings
in the 'airly days,' and then going to
a modern one,thinly attended and only by
the very old, at that, and deadly with a
dullness that no brass quartet, or hired
singers of religious ballads, or frequent
jingling of tawdry 'gospel hymns' can
lighten in the least degree. In the old
days whole settlements were utterly deserted
to attend camp meeting, and if the
rowdies came and brought their whiskey

was good times in religion. A mighty
power could smile them senseless to the
ground, if not the preacher's fist on 'the
burr of the ear,' as Peter Cartwright calls
it. Says he*: 'I did not permit myself
to believe that any man could whip me
till it was tried.1 But the mighty power
could not always be depended on, and if
'the slain of the Lord' did not keel over
by the hundred under bis preaching, the
circuit-rider examined his heart to find
out why."

It may not be generally known that for
barns and scalds nothing is more soothing
than the white of an egg, which may
be poured over the wound. It is softer
for a burn than collodion, and being always
at hand can be applied. It is also
more cooling than the sweet oil and cotton,
which were formerly supposed to be
the surest application to allay smarting
pains. It is the contact with the air
which gives the extreme discomfort experienced
from the ordinary accident of
this kind, and anything that excludes the
air and prevents inflammation is the
thing to be at once applied.

MARION ASHLEY KILLED AT HONEA PATH.
Excitement Intense for a While and Militia Took
Charge.
At Honea Path last Thursday afternoon
John Marion Ashley, one of the most
prominent members of the Ashley family,
was shot and mortally wounded by
Pnlirpinan Whit.fi of that town. From
what can be learned White was making
an effort to arrest one of the Ashleys for
some disturbance, when Marion Ashley
pulled out his pistol and shot at White.
Several shots were exchanged between
the two, Mr. White being shot in the
' hand and Ashley receiving a wound
which caused his death in a few hours.
Excitement ran high and White was
spirited away to a place of biding by his
friends, as the Ashley family gathered in
large numbers as soon as they leu.r?d
of the shooting of Marion. All sorts of
rumors were afloat and the military company
from Anderson went down on a
special train, arriving about ten o'clock
at night. They immediately assumed
charge of affairs. White was placed on
the train and carried to Anderson f<^r
safe keeping. The military spent the entire
night on duty, and order is restored.
The dead man was one of those mentioned
in connection with the lynching
of the negro Allen Pendleton a few
months ago.
Pat Yourself in His Place.
Suppose you had contracted to carry a
lot of people in your wagon from one
place to another, and one of the passengers
would persist in jumping on and off
while you were trotting along the road
and you would tell him half a dozen
times he was likely to get hurt and finally
he did get hurt and sued you for damages,
and a jury would give him $2500,
you would think you had been mighty
badly treated, wouldn't you? And so you
would have been. But that is exactly
what a jury did to a railroad company in
o_t_ tt c_ rn r% ~ 4
OUllimee vs. n. 00 x. v. xvjr., a tasc uicu
in district coart in Collin county.
A boy sixteen years old was a passenger
ann persisted in getting off at every
station and waiting until the train started
before he got back on. He was warned
a half dozen times that he would get
hurt. But he boasted as to his ability to
catch a train. And to give evidence to
such dexterity he tried it again. His
funeral was largely attended. Then his
people put aside their tear jugs and sued
the company. The jury gave them $2500
for no other reason than its desire to rob
a railroad.
Suppose some fellow you had cutting
wood fof you was a little late in coming
from his dinner, and, in harrying to his
work, should accidentally run against |
some man, who got in his way, and injure
him and the man should sue you for dam
ages and a jury would give him $5000,
you would froth at the mouth wouldn't
you! And you would have a froth coming.
Yet, this'is the kind, of justice a
jury gave a railroad in the case of Edwards
vs. M. K. & T. Ry. (4 Tex. Ct. Rep.
784) tried in Denton County. A-train
stopped for dinner. The brakeman was
delayed in getting his, and the train
started before he finished. He ran to
catch on and bumped against some loafer
who happened to be standing around.
The fellow was knocked down and hurt
and a jury stuck the company for $5000.

M'LAURIN FOR THE CABINET.
Former Senator From South Carolina May be
Invited to Accept a Place.
Washington, March 11.?Recently
there have been many expressions of opinion
from the South in favor of having a
a Southern man in the cabinet.
That section has had no representative
in the cabinet since H. A. Herbert, of
Alabama, and Hoke Smith, of Georgia,
retired.
The renewed talk of cabinet changes,
the report that Secretary Taft may be appointed
a justice of the supreme court,
that Secretary Hitchcock may retire in
the summer and that Secretary Wilson
may give up the department of agriculture
almost any time has led to considerable
discussion of the name of former Senator
John L. McLaurin of South Carolina for
a place in the cabinet. When he was in
the senate Mr. McLaurin was noted for
the broadness of his views. He coined the
phrase "Commercial Democrat," meaning
the Democrat who was broad enough to
rise above party environment and look
after the South's material interests.
President McKinley offered the senator
a place on the Philippine commission,and
President Roosevelt offered him a place
on the court of claims. At that time he
refused to accept any post Decause ne desired
to be free to identify himself with
the industrial development of the new
South.

ambassador to Russia, is to be made secretary

R. A. Adams to be Hanged.
R. A. Adams, the Colleton county
farmer who killed his kinsman, Henry
Jacques, whom he shot down in the field,after
looking him up with a shotgun for
that purpose, is finally to be hanged for
his crime, the Supreme Court having reversed
the action of Judge Townsend in
granting Adams a new trial on after-discovered
evidence, the after-discovered
evidence consisting mostly of affidavits
to show that one of the women witnesses
testified in accordance with signs she received
from a relative of Jacques sitting
in the court room, being intimidated to do
ibis by threats from the Jacques side of
I the house.
The Supreme Court finds that Judge
Townsend was altogether in the wrong
in granting such a motion, from which
tbe State appealed, it Demg-conclusively
settled" that the judge had no jurisdiction,
since the Supreme Court had already
passed upon Adams' appeal and
affirmed the death sentence of the court
below. The Supreme Court alone could
have granted leave to apply for such a
new trial. The case was before Judge
Townsend merely for the purpose of having
him set a new day for the execution.
Judge Townsend was much criticised at
the time for granting this motion.
Adams has had some novel experiences
since his trial and conviction. In the
first place he was allowed to escape from
jail, and he continued not only to live in
the county, but he carried on farming
operations, hiding out as circumstances
required. He sent word that it would be
dangerous for any one to attempt to take
him. Finally a well-armed sheriff's
party surprised him and captured him.?
