CRIME IX GEORGETOWN.
*
Negro Attempts to Assault Young
White Woman.
Georgetown, June 19.?It was
learned that John Jenkins, alias
"Slippery Jim," is the guilty party
who attempted a criminal assault on
a young lady school teacher near
Socastee Landing yesterday afternoon
and was privately identified
last night, immediately after the arrest
was made. The sheriff did not
make this known until this morning,
after the prisoner had been taken
out of town, about 3 o'clock. An automobile
was secreted in the jail
yard and as soon as convenient arrangements
had been made the officers
placed the prisoner in it and
left the city. It is supposed that the
automobile party will meet the passenger
train at some point between
Georgetown and Lanes, where the
nwannpp will be transferred to the
train and taken to Columbia for
safe keeping.
There were three parties arrested
last night in connection with the
crime and one other this morning,
who will be held as witnesses. Jenkins
was secretly identified last
night, although this was not known
until after he had been carried out
of town. It was rumored on the
street here also that in the community
where the crime was committed
three parties had been arrested,
but until to-day no one ex-,
cept the officers knew positively
who the guilty party was.
Sheriff Scurry said when he
brought the three parties to the city
that he did not know who the guilty
party was and that they would be
kept in jail until they could be identified
some time to-day by the young
lady. However, this was to avert
anw lawlessness that might have
taken place, had the public known
positively that the guilty party had
- ? t - J -it.
Deen apprenenaea. xue omci yaities
who are now in jail will be held
as witnesses.
Sent Towards Columbia.
It is hoped that Jenkins was landed
safely on the train for Columbia,
though this is not known to be a fact
at present. Sheriff Scurry is to be
highly commended for his conduct
in regard to this matter, as only for
his cool head and steady nerve possibly
Jenkins would have ne^er seen
the jail house.
It is likely that an extra term of I
court will be ordered for the trial of j
Jenkins at once.
Sheriff Scurry is now in communi-1
cation with Gov. Ansel regarding the
matter and will probably go to Columbia
to-morrow to advise with
him.
Jenkins is said to be a notorious
villain in this section and has been
at this work among his color for
some time. The young lady comes
from one of the most prominent families
of the county and is about 18
years of age.
ThA Vpimt's Crime.
Georgetown was terribly shocked
yesterday afternoon when the news
of the commission of this, one <Jf the
most horrible crimes that has ever
stained the history of this section of
the State, was learned. About 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon, near
Socastee Landing, on Waccamaw
river, just a few miles above Georgetown,
a young school teacher, belonging
to one of the most prominent
families in the county, while
on her way from her school to her
boarding house, was attacked by a
negro brute who attempted a criminal
assault upon her.
While the particulars relating to
this crime cannot as yet be stated
positively as facts, from what can be
learned by the correspondent it
appears that the young lady, after
school was out, in company with a
little girl whose parents the school
teacher boarded with, started for
home in a buggy. After they had
gone a short distance the negro
brute halted the buggy and by force
took the school teacher from the
buggy and compelled the little girl
to drive on towards home.
After the buggy had left the
young lady was thrown to the
ground and part of her clothes were
torn from her, but it is not said that
his purpose was accomplished,
though it is said that the lady was
horribly scarred and bruised up.
About 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon
Sheriff C. W. Scurry received
a 'phone message requesting him to
come to the scene, bringing necessary
aid to apprehend the guilty
party. Immediately upon receipt of
the message Sheriff Scurry secured
several gasoline boats and a crowd
of probably 50 or more left here
about 4:30 o'clock for Socastee. The
crowd returned this morning between
2 and 3 o'clock, having arrested
three negroes near Socastee, who
are now in jail here awaiting to be
identified by the young lady, who is
expected here to-day for this purpose.
Sheriff Scurry seemed positive
that one of the three is the guilty
party as stated, though the names of
those arrested were not divulged
this morning. No trouble is anticipated
just at present.
Convicted of Wife-Murder.
Atlanta. Ga.. June 21.?George
Burge, a truck farmer, was to-day
found guilty, in the superior court
here, of the murder of his wife in
this city on the night of May 17. He
will be sentenced to death to-morrow.
Mrs. Burge's throat was slashed
while she was asleep in her home,
death resulting almost instantly. It
was testified that Burge then cut his
stepson, Frank Britton, sleeping in
the same room with his mother, and
before leaving the room picked up
his 12-months' old baby from the
bed where it lay beside its dead
mother and kissed it.

An Appeal for Temperance.
Editor The Bamberg Herald:
Shakespeare says: "We are creatures*
that look before and after,"
intimating that we do not see what
is actually passing under our eyes.
This must be true, else, why this
seeming indifference to the fatalities
happening all around us, even
at our doors? When we see smoke
we naturally conclude there is fire
somewhere. When we see all these
things happening and with such frequency,
it is high time for the thinking
people to find out the cause and
try to remedy it, or God may pour
out "the wine of hfs~ wrath" in a
; greater measure than he has already
; been doing.
I do not say strong drink is the
only evil, but I do say it is the
mightiest agent the devil possesses
for the destruction of human souls.
I Many valuable lives have been destroyed
by it. As long as this temptation
is kept before the people,
this will continue. . "The eyes of
the Lord are in every place, beholding
the evil and the good." He
aeeins iu 11 a v c a j^vunat mnug ivi
the poor and needy, and has promised
to hear their cries.
"Man's extremity is God's opportunity."
When we feel we can do
nothing by ourselves then he makes
us strong; with him we can do all
things.
You, good .women, who feel so
helpless, crushed by this modern
juggernant, think what a power you
can be. Your innocence and purity
fits you to come inco the presence of
God. Do not neglect to intercede
with him for the advancement -of
right in our land. I fear you underestimate
your value. You can say
with Sir Galahad, "My strength is as
the strength of ten because my
heart is pure." Remember,
"Satan trembles when he sees
TVid Tirisoboct saint- nnnT"; his knpps."
As a people we are forgetting God
?a dangerous thing to do. "It is
a fearful thing to fall into the
hands of the living God."

his wife and then attempted to commit
suicide by shooting himself here

Osman quarreled with a neighbor,
Jrvseph Benitski, over a cat and ran
into his house to obtain a shotgun,
with which to shoot Benitski. In
the room where Osman kept his gun
he found Demick, a boarder, caressing
Mrs. Osman. Securing his gun,
Osman shot and almost instantly
killed Demick. Mrs. Osman was

few moments there would have
been no necessity of trying him for
murder.

WHISKEY USED BY PUPILS
In Public Schools of Bayonne, New
Jersey.
The report that drunkenness prevailed
among the pupils of the
Bayonne, N. J., public schools has
been verified, despite the denials of
the city officials, by a special committee
of the schol board, whose
report sustains the charges made by
Dr. Henry A. Abbott, medical inspector,
that many children attended
the school under the influence.
The board has issued an appeal to
parents, teachers and pupils to do
their utmost in discouraging the use
of intoxicants by the children of the
city.
It was also resolved to enforce the
law forbidding the sale of cigarettes
to boys under sixteen years.
SHOT VISITING PREACHER.
An Incident in dolored Society in
Lexington County.
Lexington, June 20.?George Simmons,
a negro residing nfear SaxeGotha
mills, a few miles from Lexington,
yesterday shot and slightly
wounded a negro preacher by the
name of Bowman. It is said that
Simmons came upon the preacher c
visiting his wife in his house, and i
when he went in by one side of the i
house Bowman went out by the other.
As the preacher ran Simmons
discharged his shotgun at him, but
the man was so far distant that only t
a few shot took effect. Bowman is
still on the go, however, and no arrests
have been made.
Govan Correspondent Replies.
Editor The Bamberg Herald: I
observe a letter printed in this
week's issue of your paper purposely
addressed to you. The writer signed
"One of Them." I suppose by his
signature that he gives himself the
distinction of posing for the mass of
The Herald subscribers in his rebuke
and criticism of my recent theological
doctrine. %
I thank him kindly for using his
masterly foresight in conveying to
my mind my wrong action, in using
the county paper as a medium for s

though I shall say that I was aware c
of the inappropriateness, but knew it (
the only means through or by which
I could reach the people. !
Doubtless the paper is open for an- 1
tagonisio, but I don't suppose this 1
kindly coadjutor would venture to 1
contend with this enlightened age's
exploitation on the subject.
I would remind him (perhaps
though he is not teachable) that it
was a minister of the gospel who
preached from the pulpit up in
"Yankeedom" that Sharp's rifles
would be good to use to bring back
into the union the seceded States.
Now, I would ask him why is it that
the great conferences are divided today?
We hear the echo answer,
"public sentiment." We hear and
have read (the youth) of the culmination
till actually we imagine we
hear the booming of the cannons on
a Manassas or Gettysburg battlefield!
I merely use this as an illustration.
The great trouble now is that we
pay 100 mucn iriDuie 10 some auc- ?
trines" as are often arrayed in the '<
pulpit, and the pulpit is screened 1
from attack because it is termed a 1
sacred altar, but my understanding is 1
that it would be defined sacred in 1
civil justice, when slander or ignom- <
iny is dashed against its worthy institution
and there would come dire
intervention. s

MAX IDENTIFIED.
Negro Brought from Georgetown
Seen 'by Woman.
John Jenkins, alias "Slippery
Jim," the negro charged with attempted
criminal assault on a young
lady in Georgetown county, was
identified yesterday by the lady. The
negro was brought to Columbia Saturday
night and lodged in the penitentiary
for safe keeping. It was
decided Sunday to bring the young
lady to Columbia and accordingly
ahe ramp aprnmnflm'erl bv her fath
cr, and made oath that Jenkins was
the negro who dragged her from the
buggy and attempted the crime. She
brought with her a written statement
which was filed with Mr. A. J.
Bethea, private secretary to Goy. Ansel.
The statement carries out practically
what has already been given:
In the newspapers and gives no new
facts as to the attempted crime.
When she was shown Jenkins she
begged her father to kill the negro
and was absolutely prostrated as a
result of the shock. This is the first
case of this kind in that section of
the country and efforts will be made
at once for a speedy trial. Mr. Geo.
W. Watts has written Gov. Ansel,
who was out cf the city yesterday,
requesting a special term of court.

Civic League.'
An unusual amount of sickness
imong the members of the Civic
League at the time of the last meeting,
and the inclemence of the
weather since, has prevented a meetng
for some time. But now. after a
season of seeming idleness, a grand
'rally day" of the League will be
leld at the Fitting School chapel on
Thursday afternoon of this week at
Ive o'clock. This is the regular
:ime for the monthly meeting, and
ifter the usual routine of business
s finished, it is proposed to hold a
egular health session.
With an unlimited supply of pure
vater furnished by our far-famed aresian
wells, there is no reason why
vith proper attention given Jo the
lanitary conditions of the town,
3amberg should not be an ideally
lealthful place. But to secure this
lanitary condition a vigorous cam>aign
must be conducted?just as is
>eing done all over the civilized
vorld?against improper drainage,
itagnant water ' on vacant lots,
ilthy barnyards, weeds growing up
iround the home, as well as unsaniary
conditions around the premises.
In an article from the State the .
ouowing extract was taaen irom an
nterview with a member of the
>oard of health of the Crescent City,
is to the danger and habits of the
louse fly: "Already in our midst,
he house fly, the dirty fly, the ty>hoid
and cholera infantum fly, will
oon swarm in thousands and milions,
unless precautions are taken,
rhe house fly, which we were taught
n childhood to treat with kindness,
las been exposed. Its habits are
ilthy. It breeds in stables and gar>age
pails and carries the filth it
evels in and tracks it across the
iugar, the butter and the beefsteak,
t is a nuisance. It must be extermilated.
The doctors have declared
var on the house fly. It probably
lisseminates disease of every kind,
t can be driven out of every city,
n an age of knowledge, screens and
:heap disinfectants there is no exuse
for flies in any household. Clean
ip your premises and report to the
lealth department your neighbor
vho does not. Get rid of breeding
daces of flies and you will get rid
>f flies."
When it is so clearly demonstratsd
to us that the fly is the breeder of
nost diseases, has been tried and
:ound guilty of spreading malaria,
yphoid fever and other diseases no
ess dangerous and that he can only
jreed in filth, how can we afford to
eave him alone in his haunts? In
10 way can this be done as thoroughy
and systematically as in a cleanlp
day or week if necessary.
In connection with this campaign
t is encouraging to note that those
rears in which a vigorous war was
vaged against the mosquito and fly
showed a greatly decreased death
ate and also a most comforting decease
in the number of deadly diseases.
Let us no longer discuss this mat:er
which may mean life or death to
is and our household, but get to
work at once and influence our
leighbor to do likewise.
