Colored Alan Thought to be the Mur- 1 derer of Miss Lawrence. It will bo good news to many to | loarn that the murderer of Miss Car- ' rie Lawrence, of Allendale, is at last j in the hands of the law. Charles Robertson, the murderer, is a colored man and at the time of the horrible murder. February IS. 1S93, was 22 years of age. He*was captured a few days ago j near Tallahassee, Fla.. and is now in jail at that city. Mr. John A. Pearce, ; sheriff of Leon County. Fla.. has writ, i ten the sheriff of Barnwell county, asking that the man be identified. j There is a probability that the wrong j man is being held, but he answers so well the description of the guilty man j that Mr. Pearce is pretty sure there is ; no mistake. A telegraphic report from Allendale j giving an account of the murder is as follows: Miss Carrie Lawrence was found murdered at her home in Allen. ; dale. Robbery is supposed to have been the motive, as she lived by her- : self and was supposed to have money in her house. There is no clue to the | murderer." Detectives Hogan and Brennan were cr\nf A llnn^oln of rmorwl fnrtll. nately for two innocent negroes, they arrived in time to save them from ' lynching. There was absolutely no clue to work on. but when the detec- : tives visited the scene of the murder they noticed small foot tracks. The negroes about to be lynched had very large feet and this fact saved them. The detectives inquired if there was a negro in the neighborhood who wore small shoes. There was one in par- j ticular and everybody agreed that the negro was Charlie Robertson. Strange ! to say. he had been on the scene where j the lynching was averted but a shoit time before. Good work was put in by the detertives, but the negro was not to be found. _ :1 The murderer is described as being copper-colcred and stoop-shouldered. , His right hand bears a scar which is the result of a cut received from a jar which he used to kill his victim. The State's Doctors in Session. Wednesday morning the medical i I men of the State met in Charleston. The occasion is the semi-eontennial ; meeting of the South Carolina Medical Association. This association is composed of the leading physicians of the State and their annual meeting is , a time when they get together to ex- I change ideas and commune in a social way. On Wednesday morning at 11 o'clock the meeting was called to order by the president of the association, at which time he delivered his annual address. Immediately after the morning session a reception was tendered i the association by the president, at his ( residence, on West Lamboll street. In the afternoon at \i ociock me association reassembled and completed un- j finished business.

Oil nil! for Yorkville Assured It is now a settled fact that Yorkville is to have a cotton seed oil mill. Mr. W. R. Carroll has given the whole subject a thorough investigation in all j its details and he is so well pleased with the result that he has definitely ; decided upon the building of a 20-toa mill. He is now locking for a suitable . site, convenient to the railroad, and within a few days will apply for a commission to organize a corporation, j The necessary capital has been as?ur- j ed, but, of course it \rill be necessary to open books of subscription as prt? ! scribed by the corporation laws. His ' nnnroVton rl on ic tint Vio will n.'\f i be able to pet the mill in operation by early fall on account of the difficulty in securing machinery, all the machinery houses being crowded with orders.

Sample of FARM JOURNAL ami cin tacking force loses about four times as many men as the defending l'oree. As we .shall pruhal.ly always be wo attack ill;,' party it appears essential that our numbers should always be largely in excess of those of the enemy. The ultimate issue then is merely a question of the number of men we can concentrate in onler to make our attack irresistible. I do not mean to say that this would be the ease were we fighting the rained troops of an European Power. It seems probable that a modern European battle will last several days, and that against a modern disciplined army the bayonet will he discarded as a useless encumbrance. With the present magazine ritle the infantry come under a hot lire at 1,000 yards, and in an attempt to rush trenches at the point of the bayonet, few, if any, would survive. But with our present foe the conditions are somewhat different. The Boer does not wait for a bayonet charge; lie is not disciplined, and does not remain 111 the trenches because his officer commands him. When he thinks his enemy is getting top close, he mounts his pony and gallops away to where lie considers he is safer. Thus, though we lose many men. our troops have usually managed to dislodge the enemy by this means: but; as a rule, when they have gained the position, they have not found mainj lioors thorp. They have gone when tlitl storming party was still 200 or you yards oflf. and at a distance at which European soldiers would have opened a fire, out of which no man would have come alive. I wish to show by this tiiat though this mode of attack is a costly one. and would probably be impossible against European armies, yet it seems the only one by which we can make sure of driving the enemy from the strong positions they take up. and to carry this out successfully we must be vastly superior in numbers. It might be asked why do the generals not try bis flankins movements to turn the enemy's position? The answer is simple. Our generals have found that owing to the extraordinary mobility of the Roers this mode of attack Is impossible.? London Daily News. housework In the Future.
