ATTEMPTED ASSAULT Zeter Lawrenei, Obarged With -ApAu1t or TwO IMtte Girls, Arrested.--eodEvd in GreenvSine Ja'i. Last Saturday night about 11 o'clook the few ptople who were ut aind on the streets . were throwr into a furor of rage and excito ment, when Mr. H. Frank Smith, of the Priffin church section of the county, came into town and con. suited with some of his friendh and Sheriff Jennings, .1llug of the foul crime that had been attempted against the porsonas of 1i8 two little innOcent girls, aged about seven and nine years respefully. At first, Mr. Smith was so wrought up, lie thought of taking thb law in his own hands and made for the negro with an axe, the only weapon he had bandy, but Zeta took to the '-tall timber" at first intimation of danger. Then Mr. Smith, rather than arouse the neighbors and have a lynching scrape, come to Pickens and told his story in all of its harrowing details. Sheriff Jennings, as soon as he heard of it, got together a tried and true crowd of deputies, consisting of Congressman George F-. Lgaie, 11. A. Noaly and George Chapman together with his two sons, Earle and Richard, and went to the home of Mansel Homphill, who lives just beyond Secona church, which they surrounded and upon demanding admittance they got the man they were after, They had no lights, but kept strik. ing matches hunting for a lamp and in the intervals of darkness Z/eta, who was sleeping in another room and finding all avenues of ecapO out oiY, was making stealthy steps toward the door through which the sheriff had entered, his inten tion being to take advantage ot the night and make a break, but in this he was foiled. He had not counted on so many being in the house, for while Congressman Lagare and Hovoy Nealy were covering each other's novements by alternately lighting matches and searching, Sheriff Jennings quietly and thoughtfully dropped inside the room by the door well up in the shadow whore he could obsarve all that was going on and at.the same time guard this outlet. Zeta saw what he thought was a good opportunity to go through this door, so began edging toward it and ran right into the sheriff's hands. He was brought on to Pick ena ansl immediately hustled over to Greenville and lodged in jail. Considerable excitement wes manifested, but no mob spirit ruled and we doubt, very much, if the prisoner had been placed in the Pickens jail that thiere, would have been any attempt ati a lynching. We think the people are perfectly willing that the law should take its course. The story, as wye can gather, is that the negro had been taking the children at various times and play. ing with themi and hugging and kissing them and had made at. tempilts upon their p~erson anid had scared them into silence under threats of killing them, but they told one of their little neighbor school mates, who in turn told its mother, she carrying the dreadful news into the Smith household on Saturday evening. Zeta, who was farming up there and kept his mule in Mr. Smith's stable, drove~ up in a few minutes After the re volting tale had been told to Mr. Smith, who was so shocked at the discovery that he could not grasp the meaning of it in all of its enorntity. As Zeta drove into the yard Mr. Smith grabbed his axe, the first weapon. of offense or defence that came to his hand and made for the black brute,' who im. mediately threw time to the winds and left for a section less temper. tuous and stormy, landing at Man sell Homphill's for a nap, but his rest was rudely broken by the sheriff and his posse and alter court the probability is his nieck will be rudely snapped. The details of this bestial de bauchery are too naumeating, too revolting, too sickeneif,' too bar. rowing to put intd public print. 'While Mr. Smith is commended by the best element of the citizen,. :ship of the county for the course he has pursued1 in letting the law take its course, there ar" seome whc have an element of hna lessnoss in themi and they censu.o hime for nol heading a mob a di making wa' with the brute without the formal ity of a trial. We hope that th true Oitlzenship of the county wil do all they can to curb this spiri and advise to let the law take it Turnip See our fres the Well kno Turnip Seed. results are whon you Pickens L course. On the fourth Monday in this month the court convenes in this county and Zota will be given I a fair trial and an outraged 1 humanity will be vindicated. Minss Carke's Recital. On Monday night, August 27th, Miss Irene Cle'ke's music class gave thei annual recitnl in the school auditorium at Libe ty. Although the audience was quite good still it was not e's crowded as it would have ban had the weather been less inclement. . The exeicises were thoroughly en. i joyed by all present, as was attested by the keen and enthusiastic applause that eoch selection eliciti-d. Miss Ceorke was eleganitly dressed in a rich and hantiful lece effect over uile gra3nu. In her management of the stage she was apparently at great ease and was a master of diroc t tion. 1 Every picce rendered, whether song or instrumental, showed that I the performers had been given per feet training and practice. The writer was never more impressed I than by the touch shown by tie entire class, end espccially by little Miss Irmin Mcravey. This attested the fact that as a music teacher Miss Clerke is of the best, both in talent and experience. Miss Clarke will open her music el-is work the first of Uctober in conn 3tion with the Graded School at Liberty. T. NM. S. News From Route No. 3.
