* UNUSUAL CASK IX AIKEX. St. H. DeForest, a Frenchman, Convicted of Assault and Battery. Aiken, Feb. 4.^-St. H. DeForest, a Frenchman, charged with assault and battery with intent to kill, was found guilty yesterday. DeForest is a former resident of Langley, and an employe in the mill there. It was charged that some time ago he made an assault upon Robert Turner, another white man, with a knife, cutting him. DeForest contended that he was defending the honor of Miss Laura Knowles, to whom he alleged that he was engaged to. be married. DeForest sought to show that Turner had made an insulting remark concerning Miss Knowles. He sent Turner a note demanding that he meet him and settle the matter. Turner could not read and did not answer the note. When Turner was passing a certain point in Langley, ft is alleged, uerorest maae me assault upon him. Turner contended that he, too, was engaged to Miss Knowles and that he made no remark other than the truth. After being out not longer than three minutes the jury returned a verdict of guilty and the court passed a sentence of 12 months at hard labor or a fine of $100 upon the defendant. Miss Knowles has entered a suit against Turner for slander in making the alleged assertion against her character. Soldier Balks Death Plot. It seemd to J. A. Stone, civil war veteran, of Kemp, Tex., that a plot existed between a desperate lung trouble and the grave to cause his death.

Augusta, Feb. 6.?John D. Rockefeller was the honor guest at a barbe cue dinner given by the Beech Island farmers to-day. He made a short speeech, in which he said that he was no farmer, but his people as far hack as he could remember, were farmers. He said thajt the farmers during his forefathers''time were not > farmers like the farmers of to-day; that they went after the business in a haphazard kind of way. Mr. Rockefeller complimented the roads of this country, and said: "I believe the thing the farfSers most need is good roads. It will save them much. You will save in hauling and also in the length of the life of your stock." In conclusion, Mr. Rockefeller said: "But, after we get through with farming, or railroading, or whatever our task in life may be, we will be asked the pertinent question, it will come to us, after we have finished our work, and have handed it down to our children, what was the fruit of our work?what was the real t fruitage?"

Jersey, the. pet bull which was driven by former Grand Trustee Thomas Monohan in the Monterey Native Sons' parade, and which was the hit of "the day, is the hero apparently of one of the most remarkable bovine exploits on record, says the Philadelphia North American. Jersey's owner, Timothy Sullivan, appeared at the sheriff's office a couple of days ago and announced that Jersey had been stolen. A close search was made throughout the country by the officers without getting a trace of the animal. Sullivan happened to ascend the single ladder leading to the loft of his barn to-day and discovered Jersey peacefully chewing his cud. The festive bovine had made great inroads upon the stack of hay and oats and appeared to be perfectly contented with his novel position. The officers are forced to believe that Jersey ascended the ladder leading to the loft. Block and tackle was rigged up and Jersey was once more lowered to terra firma and the ladder removed so that he could not climb intrt +V10 hsv mnw airm'n Catarrh Cannot be Cured with local applications, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.

Atlanta, Feb. 6.?Mrs. Leila Chandler, of Elberton, Ga., is here at the Pasteur Institute receiving treatment to prevent an attack of hydrophobia. Mrs. Chandler was bitten by a dog on Thursday. While in the yard cf her home a vicious canine leaped over the fence and attacked her. She came immediately to Atlanta for treatment. The little daughter of James Skelton, editor of the Elberton Star, was bitten by the same dog, and she is here for treatment also. The State board of health is furnishing such aid as is within its power to both patients. The Dog's Ferocity. Elberton, Ga., Feb. 6.?Elberton was thrown into unusual excitement Thursday afternoon by the appearance of a dog supposed to have hydrophobia on Mcintosh street. It bit Mary Leslie, the 12-year-old daughter of Editor Skelton, and also Mrs. Leila Chandler, the latter having several serious wounds on the hands and arms and breast. ?> Mary I^eslie Skelton was sitting on the front porch of Mr. G. W. Hubbard's home when the dog, a yellow, medium-Bized hound, came along and bit her on the hand and arm. The wounds were made through her clothing, which is considered quite fortunate should the dog prove to have the rabies. Mrs. Chandler was in the lane in the rear of her home just across the street when the same dog attacked her, knocking her down and fearfully biting both hands and arms and also making an ugly wound in her chest. Mrs. Chandler's screams attracted the neighbors, but before any of them reached her she had fought the dog away and it continued its course through the back lot. The excitement occasioned by the mad dog caused a fire alarm to be sounded and in a very short while the fire wagon and a large crowd of citizens started in pursuit of the dog. In the meantime, Mrs. Chandler and Mary Leslie Skelton received medical attention, and were carried to Atlanta this morning for treatment at the Pasteur Institute. Drug Clerk Drops Dead. Anderson, Feb. 6.?J. P. McClellan, Jr., aged twenty years, dropped dead at 5 o'clock this evening while waiting on two ladies in Evans' Pharmacy. The ladies had just entered the store when he approached them to ascertain their wants. After speaking to them he fell to the floor and died instantly. Heart failure is the attributed cause, yet he has not been known to suffer with his heart before. The deceased was a genial and popular young man and is survived by his father, two sisters and one brother. Romance of Miss Jeffreys. Washington, Feb. 2.?Miss Georgia Jeffreys, the Washington postof-r flee clerk, who was transferred to Manila recently, and the announcement of whose marriage to Prince AL fred Abrenheim-Gararin, of Russia, in Canton, Dec. 18, was announced, is the young woman in whose defense Representative J. Thomas Heflin, of Alabama, shot and seriously wounded Louis Lundy, a negro, in a street car here March 27 last. That the voune woman who is now the Princess Gararin is the witness to the shooting whose absence from the city has seriously interfered with the efforts of the district attorney's office to bring the congressman to trial is announced, and the fact that she will not be able to testify may have a marked effect upon the proceedings against Mr. Heflin. The matter was brought to light by the fact that the war department, which paid Miss Jeffrey's expenses to the Orient, has received a letter from the young woman inclosing a check for $150 to reimburse the government and also a clipping from a Chinese newspaper announcing her marriage in Christ church, Episcopal, in Canton. Miss Jeffreys, upon her arrival in Hankow, China, was upon the street one afternoon, when a carriage caromed against her, knocking her down and seriously hurting her. The man who was afterwards to become her husband was the occupant of the carriage, and he alighted and personally aided in seeing to the comfort of the iniured woman." She Droceeded to Manila, where the romance ripened, the Prince, it is said, having followed her there. The incident in which the young woman figured in this city last March occurred upon a Pennsylvania avenue car. The negro was a passenger in the same car as Miss Jeffrey and, it is alleged, insisted upon drinking and using bad language in her presence. Mr. Heflin commanded him to stop. A struggle followed, during which the congressman drew his revolver and shot the negro through the throat. He fired a second time, striking William McCreary, a horseman, in the leg. Mr. Heflin's trial has been announced for the first part of February, but it is believed the knowledge that Miss Jeffrey, who will live in St. Petersburg, cannot be a witness may have the effect of indefinitely postponing the case. Negro Man Runs Amuck. Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 4.?Following a daring hold-up on a busy thoroughfare to-day, Henry Morton, a negro, armed with a revolver and with pockets filled with ammunition, ran amuck firing repeatedly into street cars and houses and pedestrians, and terrorizing a section of north Memphis before he was shot to death by police and citizens. Morton was finally corraled on a porch. At bay, the negro continued to fire on his pursuers, but his bullets went wild, while a volley from the pursuers put an end to the battle. Four rounds of unspent cartridges were found in the pockets of the dead negro. | Genui SfluuHtuiuuwt'immimMm ALMOST SERIOUS ACCIDENT. Mule Took Fright at Automobile and Ran Away. The Branchville Journal says on Saturday afternoon Mr. E. A. Jenkins, of Columbia, was going into Branchville in an automobile when he met Mr. Aquilla Drawdy and his daughter in a buggy. The mule that Mr. Drawdy was driving was frightened at the machine and showed signs of running away. Mr. Drawdy hailed the driver of the machine and asked him to stop until he could get by. The machine was stopped and Mr. Drawdy drove to one side of the road and got out of the buggy to hold the mule. While the machine had been stopped the engine was still running, and this noise was more than the trusty son of Balaam could stand and he made preparations ' forthwith to move. Miss Drawdy had gotten out of the buggy in the meantime. The driver of the machine seeing the buggy outside of tlje road started to come on by, and as he did this the mule broke and ran, tearing the buggy completely to pieces and giving both Mr. Drawdy and his daughter several severe bruises and cuts. The accident was caused by the driver of the machine not stopping the engine when asked by the party in tie buggy. It is lucky that a serious accident was not met with. The fact that both had gotten out was the only thing that saved them from being seriously and probably fatally injured. Preacher Assassinated. Houston, Miss., Feb. 6.?The body of Rev. W. T. Hudson, pastor of the Baptist church at this place and one of the most prominent ministers in the State, was found riddled with buckshot in a pond near Houston late to-night. Mr. Hudson left his apartments at the Houston hotel early to-day and when he did not return at nightfall, a search was instituted which led to the discovery of the body. It was his custom to prepare his Sunday sermon seated under a tree near the pond and it is considered evident that he was shot from ambush and killed while thus engaged. As to the motive which could have prompted the killing or the person who committed the crime, nothing can be iea,rueu lu-uigiiL. iue uuiiuuiuu ui the body indicated that he had been dead for some hours. Will Foster Hanged. Spartanburg, Feb. 5.?Declaring with his last breath that he was innocent of the murder of John Young, for which crime he was to pay the death penalty, Will Foster, colored, was hanged here to-day. The execution took place in the county jail and was witnessed by only a few persons. Foster went to the scaffold with a steady tread and was composed until the trap was sprung. Asked if he had anything to say, he said, "I am innocent," and at the top of his voice yelled, "Hallelujah!" Before the cry left his lips the trap was sprung and his body fell. He was pronounced dead in six minutes and the body was taken down in 12 minutes. The Secret of Long Life. A French scientist has discovered I one secret of long life. His method deals with the blood.

James Davidson, pastor of the colored Baptist church and editor of the Centralia Tribune, in a recent issue of the paper told of some of the shortcomings of his race and also took a strong stand for race segregation, especially in schools, a crowd of young negroes bombarded his home and ordered him to stop the publication of the paper and leave town. Several of the leaders were arrested. - - ' ~ i- ' , /CK'f ..
