CAUGHT IN FLORIDA.
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. From S:30 till 10:30 j
during the evening the mayor and al- |
dermen reeeiml the visitors at the !
city hall. The First Artillery Band
was present and played during the re- \<
cepticn.
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.

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.?

of fork and spoon and urn and salver,

The new machine practically
does away with all the labor.
Projecting from the little motor are
spindles tipped with fine or coarse
polishers, as the work may require.
These "buffs" can be revolved at any
speed desired. The servant sits in a

and all that needs to be done Is to hole'
np the plate to the polishing stud.
Neither force nor patience are exponded,
and the plate is more perfectly

thumb. The speed at which the
work can be disposed of is astonishing
