As a citizen, a? a progres sive worker, aa a moral asset of the nininunity, as "a man and as a Chris tian, be was srtn?MgM an example 01 constancy, of buoyancy and of quiet courage. Not alone his family, but the entire city of Anderson will miss him. As a citizen Mr. Townsend wa hroad-vlsioned end full of public spirit. He never allowed personal In .crc&ts to overshadow the welfare of bit? community. One has hut to scan the many buildings that bear his name lo he convinced \ljjut he had tho wol furo of his city at heart In bis every unstnesa venture^ No institution 01 enterprise tliat$vas launched for the welfare cf his Community ever failed if his generous support and encour igement. As a Christian he was modest, : in ere, loyal, liberal and consecrated, '.lo lived up to the views of his pro fession and gave generously of hi time and money to the cause of Chr'st. While he was a loyal member of the* First Presbyterian church and a faithful office bearer in it. and while to contributed liberally to all (lie mises that It represented, his Chrlt tiuu activity was by no means con lined to that organization. Many churches of Mr own and other de nominations, as well a-i benevolent and eleemosynary Institutions, looked tipun him as a eyropalhetlc friend and a generous benefactor. His Interest was us catholic aa the Kingdom of Christ, and his liberality was as broad us the various phases of Chrls tlun activity with which he was at inaiuted. His only requirement was hat . the cause be accredited as worthy and trustworthy. Iii the death of this good man thb .whole city ?h sustaiuiat u great lour..

ATTEMPTED ASSAULT STIRS ALL PELZER Negro Grabbed Woman and Was Frightened by Her Screams. Community Aroused. The thriving town of Pelzer was stirred und excited Monday ufternoon as it seldom hau been when the word spread like wildfire throughout the place that an unknown negro brute had attempted to assault a well known white woman of tin* place Five mlu ut'-s ufter the word went over the place the streets ot Pelzr were lined with determined, men. A message was sent to Anderson apprising tli< Officials here of the outrage and Sheriff Joe M. il. Ashley, accompan ied by two of the deputy sheriffs, left at once for the scene, taking with them the county blood-hounds. It was very difficult last night to obtain detail? and these were but meagre at best It Beema that the lady, who is about 27 years of uj;e and the wife of a well known me chanic, was going through nome woods near the back of her premi ses in West Pelzer or Frankville, at about 4:30 o'clock, when she heard steps behind her and turning she confronted the negro. He at once seized her and made an effort to pre vent an outcry, but in this he war unsuccessful and when she screamed he became frightened and ran. When released thfi woman ran to her house, almost crazed with fear, and ^creaming for aid. The alarm spread like wildfire. When the sheriff arrived on tin s-eenc between 200 and 300 men wer?' making a determined search, bin with the vague def-'^riplion of her as sailant furnished by the woman. the> saw but little hone of finding tin right ne?ro. She had said that he was a tall mulatto, who appeared to be about .'.0 years of age nn>\ that he wore a pair of yellow trousers. Suspect Released. Suspicion pointed to a negro nam ed Au^t n, who was captured by the posse and he was rushed before th> woman for identification, but th< minute Phe snw him she was posi tiv,-, in her declaration that they had the wrong man. 'He was therefore released and the search continued. I'rom the very time of the happen ing until about 10 o'clock last nigh', tie poss?c, together with tho sheriff, kept up a determined search for the Hend, but at that time the members <<r the posse lost heart and gave up the chase. The sheriff, together with his deputies, receive! Information that t;.c negro had headed in the direction of Piedmont and when la?t heard of at a l-.te hour tho search was being continued in that direc lion by tho officials. There has never been a happening more to excite the inhabitants of tin place and while there were no ou'-? spoken threats it Is generally under stood that the negro, ff caught and identified, would have r/n with speedy punishment at the hands of Hie people. At a late hour last night Informa tion from Pelzer was to the effect that everything was rjniet and that nothing further bnd been heard of the sheriff or the chase. THE OLD BLUE LAWS MAY BE INVOKED Ministers* Union Had Conference With the Druggists Monday. The ministerial union of Anderson at its weekly meeting Monday dl-> eus.sed the matter of enforcing the bine law of the city. The druggist" of the city were asked to appear be fore the ministers. Dr. John F. Vines at th.e Firnt Bapt'?t church Sunday night bad auid that one cause of the falling oh in tho Sunday schools was the "bungliolc? on Main street that attract the Hies and the young bo>>." it is understood, however, that IhN agltatlon antedated that attack.
