A WHITE FIEND. Go vernor Ansel Offers a Reward for one Goldberg. Who In Charge*! With Criminally Assaulting a Mere Child in Columbin. The State of South Carolina is very anxious to catch one Leon Goldberg, who is charged with criminally assaulting a ten year old Belgian girl who came over in the Whittekind a few weeks ago. The outrage took place in a bourding house in Columbia kept for immigrants by Goldberg. The girls parents are working on a farm near Columbia. She is not badly hurt physically, it is said, and has been taken by interpreter Famaev of the department of immigration to her parents' new home in the cou ntry. There is deep feeling among the immigrants over the matter, and while there was no talk of violence, particularity after it was ascertained mat iue gin was not badly hurt physically, there was and is a genuine and general contempt for the man and he will be severely dealt with if caught. C.oldberg is an Austrian. He came to Columbia about one year ago from Canada, and had been from time to time employed by Commissioner Watson as an interpreter but had been discharged sometime ago and had no connection with the immigration department when he committed his dastardly crime. insomuch as the crime was committed upon the child of one of the immigrants brought over on the Whittekind, the immigration department is doing everything possible to apprehend this man and will assi t the legal authorities if lie is captured and brought back to Columbia. Coy. Ansel has offered a reward for the1 scoundrel, and every effort' is being made to catch him. The Columbia authorities are doing every thing they can in the matter and will i not ltd up in their efforts until Coldberg is found and brought hack for trial. Should he be caught he will I be severely punished. In fact, he I deserves innging. IlCllAL OA It KICKS IllOMOFlT _ I tceciit Art of Congress Greatly loci-rases Their l'ny. Under the recent act of Congress making appropriations for the postal service for the ensuing fiscal year, the Postmaster General may fix the salaries of carriers in the rural service at a rate not exceeding $900 per annum after July 1, 1907. The highest rate now paid is $7 2 0 per annum. The readjustment of salaries under the new law has not been fully determined, hut it is proposed to allow the maximum rate, $900, to all carriers on routes twenty four or more miles in length, as shown by the records of the department. This will give approximately | 22.900 or about GO per cent of the I carriers an advance in salary of $180 A substantial increase in pay for other carriers in contemplated. Carriers on the shorter routes, ranging from 12 to 14 and form -14 to 16 miles in length, now receive $5 0 4 and $5 4 0 per annum, respectively, being proportionately better paid than carriers on routes of twenty or more miles. This advance in pay for carriers and substitutes, it is estimated, will result in an approximate increase of $5,900,000 in the cost of rural de% livery service.

Descriptions of the Men and IH'talls of Tlieir Crimes Furnished the IjOcttl Force. The Columbia State says the police of that city is In receipt of a letter from Mr. William 11. Pierce, superintendent of police at Boston, Mass., containing the descriptions of three men and also a facsimile check of one of u number of checks that each of these men have passed which are forged papers. The men are: Nelson R. Sears, a man calling himself J. Simpson, alas II. Harlow, alias II. Mosher, alias Julius Sternberger, and the other man is known by the names of Charles Williams, Charles Morgan, Charles Moore, Frank Stephenson, Fred Nelson and Charles Fisher. The men are professional checkforging swindlers who have duped many business men and merchants in the United States and who are said to be headed this way. Nelson B. Sears is described as being a man about 4 0 years of age, height, 5feet 6 or 7 inches; weight, 150 pounds; complexion, medium. When last soon had a smooth face but previously" wore a brown raous tache and Vandyke board mixed with gray, and had on a long gray coat and black derby hat. He sometimes wears glasses. Sears' scheme is to enter a store, buy a small bill of goods and then tender in payment a check, usually on the State Hank of Chicago, receiving back the difference in the bill and the amount of the forged check calls for. lie sometimes works on millinery and dry goods stores. .1. Simpson, with his aliases, is said to be from !lf> to it) years of age height, S feet 5inches; weight, 100 to ITT. pounds; broad shoulders, rather stout build; dark complexion, apparently a Hebrew. When last seen he had a dark moustache, dark overcoat and black derby hat. He speaks with a foreign accent. His scheme is to have some woman present herself to the manager of the store or one of the linn, represent that she wishes to purchase some goods, show a check and ask him to place his "O. K." on it, saying that she desires to give same in payment for the goods.. This check is very small, usually $2.50. He puts his "O. K." on it with his initials or name. This check is never offered for payment. Later on the man calls at the store and* watches his opportunity when the manager leaves the otlice and then steps into the managers othce. Afterwards he walks over to the cashier, who had presumably seen the man go into the manager's ofhc.e, presents a check which is raised in valus to a much larger amount than the original to get it cashed. The scheme of the first check is to get the managers's signature and ! ! this being had, he forges the enI .... *r II a 'I , v.w. nv ii.v-m, III KJ. IV. lO ine DOgll8 | check and the trick is done. The, purpose of the crook in going into j the manager's oflice is to give the I eahier the impression that lie lias i just seen the manager and tlie check ! is good. ' The man calling himself Charles Williams et al., is described as be' ing between 30 and 3f? years old, height, feet CJ or 7 inches; weight, 1 r?0 pounds; complexion, mediiun; chestnut hair, round face, sometimes wears a small moustache, dark | clothes and black derby hat. His scheme is to visit grocers, retail shoe dealers, whiskey houses | and dry goods stores, and after buying a bill of goods offers a check larger than the amount of the bill | receving the balance in cash. These checks are usually made out on the Boston and New York banks and are entirely worthless. It would be well for the police here and elsewhere to be on the lookout for these light lingered gentlemen. They should not be allowed to run at large. i 1lOI>K A CKOCODILI? AT SFA A Queer Inhibition Given at l'ulm Iteacli, Florida. Warren Frazler, better known as "Alligator Joe," treated society folk at Palm Beach, Fla., lately to a new sporting sensation. He towed a crocodile weierhiner 20h nr?imdn well nut Into the Atlantic Ocean, hud a wrestling match with it, mounted it harehack, and brought it hack to shore. (The crowd, mostly women, gasped until it was over, and then applauded smartly. The crocodile was about sixty to seventy years old and perhaps twelve feet long. "He's a young one," said Fraizer, and he spoke truly, for the patriorch of his tribe is declared to be more than 4 00 year old. After towing it out Frazier released it. then made a quick jumpv and land ed stomach down on the creature's hack. Over and over they went, like hoys wrestling. The tail of the anii mal lashing about could he seen, and at times its forefeet were exposed as Prazier tilted it up. , Gradually Prazier worked the reptile to a steep hank. A rope was ' thrown to him. Keeping the croco? dilo under water he tied the cord f around its long snout in two places ? It was then dragged ashore and its 5 tail was tied to its head so that it } could he lifted to a cart. The reptile toward the end appeared to ne 5 completely fagged, hut Prazier show[ ed no exhaustion. The iron output of the Alabama 5 mines amounts to more than 13,000,* 000 tons for 1906.

Ex-Governor Heyward Thursday received a cablegram from Commissioner Watson in which he urged Mr. Heyward to sail for Bremen on the 2 6th. The cablegram reads: "Sail 26th all hazards. Need you badly." It is doubtful, however, if Mr. Heyward will be able to get away at that time, as he has some matters of great importance to the immigration movement which he has not yet been able to get in shape for presentation to the North German Lloyd Company in reference to the permanency of the immigration line to Charleston. There are also per! sonal matters which might prevent I Mr. Hey ward leaving next week but he would endeavor to put these out of the way if the other affairs were in shape for presentation. It is likely, therefore, that he will not sail until the boat leaving New York on the 2nd of April, and when he goes he will he prepared to make a strong pull for the interests of the whole South in,general and Charleston and South Carolina in particular. Governor Heyward has just returned from Atlanta, where he went on business, and while there he had the pleasure of renewing his acquaintance with Governor Terrell, whose interests he has enlisted in the immigration movement.

Mrs. James Tolbert, wife of former Mayor Tolbert of Fairmont, Ga., was brutally assaulted and her two months old child was murdered by a negro at their home Thursday evening. The negro, who approached the house when Mrs. Tolbert was alone with her child, demanded $50. Being refused he said he must have the money or her life. Then began a struggle during which he followed her from room to room, until she escaped and ran to her husband's store, some distance away. When she returned with a party the baby was found with its head nearly severed from its body and the negro was missing. ,A posse was soon formed and the pursuit was kept up during the night the crowd increasing as the search continued. The whole country has been scoured for the negro brute but his capture has not yet been reported. Excitement is running high and there is no doubt, if caneht. tbo negro will be lynched. Will liaise More Cotton. A dispatch from Cario, Egypt, says the council of ministers has adopted the proposition to increase the height of the Assuan Dam. It is calculated that this will give suflicient new water to irrigate another million acres, which, it is estimated, should yield an increased cotton crop to the value of $17,500,000 to $20,000,000 annually. It: will take six 1 years to complete. Prices to Advance. A dispatch from Birmingham, Ala. says at a meeting of southern stove manufactures it was practically agreed to advance prices five per cent, because of the high price of iron and steel and the increased cost of labor.
