he Brotil Assault 00 a Yoorg White
Girl at Honea Path Avenged.
BRUTE HUNG AND SHOT
'Taken from Officers After E.vct(inf{
Chase Through Several Counties,
the Fie d was Taken to the Scene
of His Crime, Hun<; and Riddled
Willi lliillcts.
A negro l>oy, about seventeen
years old, committed a criminal assault
on a twelve year old white
girl at Ho ilea Path on Tuesday
morning. The brutal assault occurred
about half-past seven o'clock
some three hundred yards from the
limits of the town, where the little
girl had gone to put a cow in a
pasture.
According to the little girl, she
was attacked from the rear ,while she
was going to a pasture with cows, the
attack being made within three hundred
yards of the incorporated limits
of Ilonea Path, and after dragging
liis little victim about seventylive
yards into a patch of woods he
accomplished his dasstardly purpose
.behind a dead log. The little girl
emerged from the woods, attracted
the attention of a passerby and gave
the alarm.
The negro then passed through the
town to a butcher shop where he
worked. He was found later ax uie
shop by Constable Ilaynes, who took
him before the girl, and after she
had positively identified him, the
constable, with two other citizens,
hurried the negro to the jail at Anderson
in an automobile. The infuriated
citizens were searching the
woods during the while and did not
learn that the negro had been apprehended
until he was on his way
to the jail.
As soon as the dastardly outrage
became known the people of Honea
Path gathered and began a rigid
search as above stated for the fiend.
As soon as it was learned that the
negro had been caught and taken to

fiend if trey could get him in their
hands.
A disipatch from Anderson says
more than a hundred heavily armed
men arrived there at eleven o'clock
from Honea Path. Some came on
trolley cars, others on the train, and
the remainder in automobiles. Fifteen
minutes before the crowd arrived
at Anderson thenegro had been I
itaken in a fast automobile and was

six miles away.

The car they left in was a fast one,

PUNCTURES A BUBBLE 1
CFRRENT EVENTS SET RICJIIT BV
NEWBERRY OBSERVER.
Sliowes That a Majority of the Farms
in South Carolina are Owned by
White People.
Wo have seen it stated in several
newspapers that a majority of the
farms in South Carolina were owned
ly negroes, and that they were still
buying land in large quantities. We
no11Id not understand how this could
be true and intended to hunt the
matter p, but the Newberry Observer
has fore stalled us by setting the
facts much better than we could have
done. Here is what the Observer
says on the matter:
"Current Events" described in its
title as "a condensed newspaper,
weekly, for use in public and private
schools" published at Springfield,
Mass., and Chicago, 111., contains
some very startling information for
the boys and girls of this great country.
"Current Events" has been in
existence for 1 1 years and, according
to its own statement, "has a larger
circulation than any other school
paper in the world"; and in an excellent
school journal, though it does
blunder sometimes, as in this in
stance, when it says, in its issue of
Sept. 29:
"Negroes are. buying) many farms
throughout the South and especially
in South Carolina. From 1900 to
1010 the farms owned by negroes in'rreased
by 1 1,295. There are now
176,180 farms in that state. More
than half of them , or 96,696, are
owned by the eoJored people."
This big blunder is no doubt occasioned
by mistaking the meaning of
"farms operated'" as reported in the
census.
The Observer has not seen the agrii

census of 19 00; from which we take
the following statistices as to per

and colored in the Sothern states at
that time:

the achievements of the colored race,

It FUELS KILLED IN FIGHT.
Over a Hundred Dead as Result of
Mexican Hattle.
Fighting for the possesion of the
little town of Chiapilla, Mexico, held
by insurrectos whose strength was
estimated as 900, a force of volunteers,
numbering but 190, killed 130
rebels and captured 10G, eighteen of
whom were wounded. The loss to
the Government force is given as
less than a dozen killed.
Early reports were that the State
troops met with little opposition, but
it is now know that the encounter
was the fiercest since the beginnng
of the insurrection. The State troops
were commanded by Col. Manuel Pas.
Gen. Antoro Holinas commanded
the rebels and according to the prisoners
be escaped with the majority
of his force. His second in command,
"Col." Marcelino Jiminez, was
killed.
The rebel force was throe-fourths

THE MAN TO WIN
Bryan Faws Wilsan as The Demccratlic
Candidate for President
HIS FRIENDS AT WORK
Milwaid F. G'oltra, of St. Louis, Will
llo in Charge of Wilson Campaign.
Is Princeton Man. Group of
Princeton Men to Have Charge of
the Financial Side of Campaign.
News conies from Washington that
William Jennings Bryan is for Woodrow
Wilson for the Democratic nomination.
Me believes Wilson will win, has
told many of his followers so in the
last few days, and has given his general
indorsement to Wilson as the
sort of man who should lead the party.
The Wilson campaign is to be
largely in the hands of Edward F.
Goltra, of St. Louis, who in the next
few weeks will be elected national
Democratic committeeman from Missouri.
Goltra is a former classmate of
Bryan and also a Princeton man, imbued
with all the Princeton loyalty
to Wilson.
Mis selection as committeeman for
Missouri is made with the acquies
cence of Joseph W. Folk, who, it the
deal goes through, is likely to be the
candidate for Vice-President with
Wilson.
Wilson headquarters are to be opened
this week at 12 Broadway, New
York, with Mr. Goltra in general
charge, and with a group of wealthy
Princeton men looking after the important
buisness of raising money to
manage the preconvention plan.
This is the substance of the story
brought back by politioians who were
present at the National Convention
Congress at Kansas City. Mr. Byran
spoke there, spending most of a day
and night. During, his stop in Kansas
City he confered with many
Democratic leaders. In substance, he
said to all of them, according to all
accounts:
"It is not my desire to discourage
any man's ambitions; I am certainly
not going to be put in the position of
appearing to attempt dictation. You
gentlemen go right ahead with your
plans and ambitions. But Wilson is
the man who is going to be nominated.
It's just as good as fixed."

stead of Champ Clark is regarded as
the most important development. The
differences between the Nebraskan
and the Speaker are commonly referred
back to the Underwood-Bryan
incident, and to umbrage Mr. Bryar
is alleged to have taken because Mr
Clark did not stand for the Bryar
ideas in connection with the wool anc
steel schedules. At any rate, the de
fection of Bryan from Clark is ac
cepted as very well established.
The recent death of Col. Mose Wot
more, *he St. Louis tobacco million
aire and friend of Bryan, opened th<
way to the selection of a new nationa
committeeman from that State.
The most difficult part of the pres
ent story to accept is that Goltra I
to be made the new Missouri com
mitteeman. He is frankly a Wilsoi
man, and his selection would be in ef
feet a repudiation of both Folk am
Clark.
Champ Clark is not in position t<
oppose Folk's dispositions, becaus
he was chairman of the convcntioi
which endorsed Folk for Missouri'
Presidential choice.
