In broad open daylight Sunday afternoon was committed one of the most daring and brutal as saults in the annals of crime. Al tender and delicate woman, it he j wife ol Major Mitchum, who lives j a lew miles west of (ireeleyville.' and is employed bv the Mallard / Lumber Co., was sitting in her home in the quiet Sabbath afternoon. her six-months-old infant in her arms, when about 3 o'clock a knock was heard at the door. Lit-! tie dreaming of the horrible fate | awaiting her, she went to the door and opened it. There she saw Macon Le>esne, a negro boy about 1G years o'd. Being a.one except - K/\M i ?

With the insti?.ct ot sell-preservation the terrified woman turned to pick up her husband's gun. As she turned the negro grabbed her and ordered her to lay the baby down. She tried to scream lor help, but the black brute drew a knile, exclaiming, ""Damn you! If you say a word 1 will cut your throat." Frightened nearly tc death, the defenceless woman was forced at the point of the knile to submit, and the vile purpose of the foul wretch was accomplished. The negro then fled, and as soon as she was able Mrs. Mitchum ran to a neigh bors house ana gave I fie alarm, a crowd was quickly organized and w.is soou in swift pursut of Lesese, whom they captured by 10 o'clock at Greeleyville^ where he was placed in the guard house for sate keeping.

The facts of the crime, conviction and lejral execution of Hamilton McGiil are still fresh in the minds ot our people. In that case, through the forbearance of the child-victim's father and because of his request that the law be allowed to take its course, no mob violence occurred. There were many here Monday j who were ready and willing to take the law in their own hands and mete out punishment swift and sure to the guilty wretch; and in the light of subsequent events they still think that it was a mistake not to have swung t ie negro to a convenient limb.

Bryan Has 143?Ten States Yet to Hear From ine election returns reported so far indicate a sweeping victory for McKinley and Roosevelt-, the republican candidates for president and vice president. I:p to tIris time 266 electoral votes are conceded to McKinley, while Bryan has only 140, with ten States with a total electoral vote of 38 i not yet heard from Even if they j all go for Bryan this would still I give Bryan 181, the total electoral vote being 447.
