Mr. ; Bates is a good lawyer and a Chris- 1 tian gentleman, one who would be a honor to the second circuit and the State as a presiding judge. Brother Sims, of the Orangeburg ; Times and Democrat, is right in saying his paper was the first weekly paper in the State to install a linotype machine. We had him confused _:*u 4-v. ft riftrfti TTTftftl/llflO orlian TITO I Willi U1C OdIU-YY tvaiiW nuvu IIV wrote the article, and for the time : being had his paper down in the ( semliweekly class. The Times and . Democrat no doubt has the best j newspaper outfit of any weekly in , the State. They have no job outfit. But, really, Brother Sims prints more matter in his weekly than many of the semi-weeklies. For i several months he has been issuing a seven-column twelve-page paper. Kind Words. In a letter to the Hampton Guardian, Mrs. A. McB. Speaks, of this city, writes as follows of The Bam- , berg Herald and its editor: "Our town continues to grow despite the wave of hard times which 1 . has struck us. - The cotton mill is building a commodious brick warehouse for their use; Mr. J. Aldrich Wyman is erecting a neat cottage for rent on the street which your ; scribe lives. Mr. J. J. Smoak has . just completed a two-story stable for use in his livery business, and Editor Knight of the Bamberg Herald is building next door to the Bamberg Hanking Co., a large brick store to be used as a book and stationery I store with printing office in the rear. v Evidently here is anv editor who has made a newspaper pay in a country town. His sheet for some time past baa been gotten up altogether at home and is a credit to its editor who is not afraid at any and all times to express his views editorially upon is- j sues of the day whether popular or ( * * 1 _1 j _x_* _ , unpopular, xo wnicn cnaractenstic in a man or woman we doff our hats." We make our nicest bow to Mrs. Speaks. She is a woman of intelligence and strong character, and to have her good opinion of our work is indeed gratifying. WHITE GIRL ATTACKED. Two Men Arrested at Union on a Serious Charge. Union, December 10.?On Sunday afternoon an attempt at criminal assault was made, it is alleged, by Lester Becknell, white, upon Miss Fannie Vaughn, a respectable white girl of 16 or 18 years of age. Miss Vaughn and Miss Sadie Willard came up last week from their homes near Santeeon a visit to relatives. On Sunday, a little before snset, the two i girls were walking on the Southern Railroad leading to Spartanburg.

The former is a 1 native of this county. When these < came up with the girls Miss Willard < turned and ran back to the home of j her brother-in-law, but the men took 5 hold of Miss Vaughn, carried her j some distance up the track and into j a thicket, where she was knocked ] down, beaten about the face, and the 1 men only desisted from their efforts 1 to accomplish their purpose when < they became alarmed at the outcries j of the girl. Upon being arrested Bee knell re- ; mained stolid and weakly denied his guilt. Massey, on the the other hand, pointed out Becknell as the guilty 1 Darty, and stated that he himself 1 only stood off and looked on while 1 Becknell made his attempt. No one ! having- denied this account of the af- i fair, Massey, who only came to Union j last week, is being held in jail as a ; witness, while a warrant was prompt- ] ly issued for Becknell on the charge < of an assault with intent to ravish. ' Miss Vaughn's brothers assaulted Massey after the occurrence and < stabbed him in the back with a knife, but the wound is not a serious < one. v < EHRHARDT* SCHOOL COLUMN.
