The warrant was sworn out by J. R. Mulligan before Magistrate Kirbv. The case will be investigated to-morrow morning. From what can be learned of the affair, it seems that the young lady in question was returning from Greenville and Grier was on the same train. At the depot he engaged a hack for her and then got in. The young lady objected, stating that she preferred to ride alone, but Grier insisted and she withdrew her objection. While in the hack she claima that Grier hugged her and she screamed for help. ' When the hack drew near her home she cried out for help, because, it is alleged that Grier made an improper proposal to her. Her mother and J. R. Mulligan heard her screams ana came running, me momer wun a pistol and Mulligan with a cowhide, and he proceeded to give Grier a whipping, it is said. Grier was arrested on the charge of assault and battery, the warrant being sworn out before Magistrate Henderson. Yesterday a warrant uas sworn out against Grier. charging him with intent to ravish.

Ehrhardt, Feb. 21.?The repeal of the lien law seems to cut a small figure here in the way of securing advances to make the present crop by the average leinor. Under tho new regime credit is about as easily obtained as in former years, when the lien law graciously and lovingly reached out protecting arms to embrace even the humblest proprietor of an ox farm. Farm work here never started off morft oncouraeinelv and satisfactorily than the present demonstrations towards the coming crop. The weather, except that it has been a little cold at times, has been ideal for outdoor work, and the progress of farm work encouraged by the farmer and farm laborer as well, seems to Indicate success in the end along the ', whole line. Everybody works, there are no drones. A pleasing feature in connection with farming here is the fact that , -M there seems to be absolutely no inclination to increase the cotton acreage this year, at least. On the other hand cartailment of the acreage, even in the face of the gratifying prices obtained for the last crop, is more of a possibility than a probability. i ne sioga.ii auioug uiiuKiiig lanucnr is a bumper food crop, rather than a bumper cotton crop. One of the best thinkers among farmers said to this correspondent but a few days since: . -I "No, 15-cent cotton is no induce- : : j ment to me to abandon planting food crops. I shall first endeavor to raise all home supplies, to live at home and _ board at the same place. What we | fail to make to eat we have to buy, and what we buy is not half as good as home raised. If 20-cent bacon and $1.25 corn, with all other food- ^ stuff in proportionate prices, does not teach the farmer the necessity of raising, or nearly as we can, all the necessaries of life on the farm at less than one-third the cost of ' present prices, and be Independent of the speculator, then I say the poor ;AJ fellows who continue the policy of farming necessitating the paying of " such prices for food have no brains to mix with business, and are to be pitied rather than censured." "Sla Many instances here could be cited showing where shrewd business in- < telligence has raised the farmer out of the mires of dependence and placed ^ ^ him upon an eminence in the business world, where he looks upon the speculator with modest scorn and fjl derision. An epidemic of grip, intense in severity, has swept the country round ' about, leaving in its trail some victims of the disease, many of whom look more dead than living. '.'M Measles is a disturbing element now, and many little tots are victimsOn the road to the home of Mrv Geo. Heirs, on Saturday evening last, ~ vfl the horse driven by Misses Urbanna 'M Westberry and Maud Mathis became frightened and ran away, throwing the young ladies to the ground. They escaped injury except slight bruises . and a deal of fright, although the buggy was broken to pieces. * ? Affairs at Allendale.

The new schedule will give the patrons of this road two trains each way, morning and evening. ? Dr. C. W. Erwin, who recently made his home in Allendale, is ill with pneumonia. , '-^5 Mr. T. D. Johnson is convalescent, = j after a severe illness. Mr. A. W. Owens is suffering from an attack of the grip. / Takes Prisoner to Gastonia. Lexington, Feb. 21.?Sheriff P. H. Corley left last night for Gastonia, N. C., carrying with him a white man by the name of Wilson, wanted by the authorities of North Carolina upon the charge of abortion.
