JAILOR ATTACKED AGAIN.
Two Negroes Try to Overpower Jailor
Hodge.
Another attack was recently made
?a the keeper of the County Jail, this
time upon Jailor Hodge, who has just
assumed charge.
It is the cusom at the jail to *>iace
the meals for the prisoners in the cor
f lidor between the two rows of cells,
then open the ceil doors ?ric! allow
the prisoners to get their meals and
take them back" to their cells to eat.
Jailer Hodge followed this plan, but
;tead of returning to their cells
^fter receiving their breakfast, two
negro prisoners hid behind blankets
purposely hung on the hers of the
. cage,, and when the jailer returned
for their dishes, they grabbed him
- unexpectedly, held him so that he
could not use bis pistol and were pre?
paring to escape. George Spivens,
who is allowed the privileges of the
Jail pending his appeal to the su?
preme court, heard the commotion,
and rushed to the assistance of the
: jailer. Spivens, who is a powerful
man, grabbed one of the negroes, j
: "threw him down, and the other was j
?oon properly managed by Jailer j
Hodge. The two men were placed in j
-their cells again, and hereafter will1
3>e carefully and closely watched. j

Resolutions of Respect.
Whereas, it hath pleased Almighty
God in TT?"" wisdom to remove from
our n * JUT lamented brother, B.
T. W" .ams, and whereas, we feel
deeply the loss of our brother, both
to ourselves and his family, therefore
be it resolved:

the will of God in His act.
(2) That in the death of Bro.
Williams the commurn; has lost a
good citizen, and the lodge a member
who exemplified the principles of our
I order in his daily life.
(3) That our sympathies be ex?
tended to his loved ones in their sore
bereavement.
(4) That a page 'in our minute
book be inscribed to his memory, that
these resolutions be copied in the
daily and one weekly paper of our
city, and a copy of same sent to his
family. Guy C. Warren,

Wheels at Alcolu.
j Alcolu, Jan. 17.-Rosa Green, an
aged colored woman, was run over
and killed today about 1 o'clock by
the Atlantic Coast 1; ~e freight train.
It seems that the train was doing
some shifting, and just as it was
pushing some loaded box cars from
the siding to the main line she, being
hard of hearing, did not hear the cars
and attempted to cross the track,
when she was run over and terribly
mangled.

AN ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.
Mr. T. H. Dick, Jr., Shot at and
Slightly Wounded by a Negro in
Chesterfield County.
Mr. T. H. Dick, Jr., who was in
the city Tuesday morning gave an
account of his narrow escape from
being shot by a negro last Saturday
while going from Ch craw to Chester?
field Court House. He was driving
along the public road in a buggy and
when about a half mile from Chester?
field a negro, who was standing 40
or 50 yards out in the field, through
which the road passed, threw a rifle
to his shoulder and, taking deliberate
aim, fired on him. The bullet passed
thorugh the buggy top, Mr. Dick's
overcoat and other clothing and in?
flicted a slight flesh wound across
the back just above the hip. Had the
bullee struck him an inch further
front it would have penetrated his side
and probably caused his death.
The negro who fired the shot and
another who was with him immedi?
ately fled, but when the police of
Chesterfield were notified a posse was
organized and after several hour's
chase they were overtaken and ar?
rested three and a half miles from
the scene of the shooting. They had
in the meanwhile gotten rid of the
rifle by hiding the barrel in one place
and the sock in another, but after
their capture were made to produce it.
They were commil.ted to jail and
the preliminary was ?-?et for Monday
morning. Mr. Dick was present to
attend the hearing, but the negroes
waived the preliminary, and were re?
leased on $300 bond each, which was
furnished by the man for Whom they
work.
So far as could be learned the ne
I gro who did the shooting had never
seen Mr. Dick before, and bore no ill
will to thc negro boy who driving for
Mr. Dick. The attempt to kill Mr.
Dick seems to have been made out of
innate deviltry.
Bad Stomach Trouble Cnred.

years with a bad stomach trouble, a

lain's Stomach and Liver Tablets.
i
They did me so much good that I j

used 12 bottles in all. Today Z am
