NEGRO THOUGHT 10 HAVE ASSAULTED WOMAN LAST NIGHT Mrs. Sallie Gibson of Columbia Suffering from Terrible Wound in Head, Thought to have Been Inflicted by Negro, who is in Jail> Woinan Telts Story ot Struggle with Man Early this Morning, Robbery May have Been Motive as Woman is Very Wealthy and Prominent. Columbia, S. C., Oct. 29—Mrs. Sallie Gibson, a mi-Idle aged woman living on North Main street is suffer ing from a terrible wound in her head, and a negro, Jerry Whitmire, is in jaii on the charge of assaulting her in her home. Mrs. Gibson states that about 2 o'clock this morning, some persons tntered her house through a window, end attacked her with a heavy in strument. She fought the assailant with a piece of hinge and drove him off, but not until she had received a blow in her head from which she bled pro lusely. Her screams brought help, and her sged mother was found crouching under the bed covered with blood f:om the daughter's wound. A search revealed a cap where ihe struggle took place, and later the negro, Whitmire, was found in a livery stable next the house, which belongs to Mrs. Gibson. The negro denies all knowledge of the affair, but the authorities claim to have evidence fixing the matter on him. Mrs. Gibson is the niece and heir cf eld 'Squire Levi Metz, who died about a year ago, leaving hidden lioney. Soon after the old man's death she deposited 530,000 in cash in the National Loan and Exchange Bank, but later withdrew the deposit when it was attached bv alleged creditors cf Metz. She has since been supposed to have large sums cf cash in her house, and the robbery was probably the motive, if an attack was made on her. Metz was a long time, a very wealthy man, and lost heavily by the defalcation of a bank official here many years ago. After that time, he would not trust a bank, and uvea the l'fe of a miser until his death, his Liece, being his sole companion. She is not regarded as of sound mind. A white man named Smith, who tad a room in the house, has also been arrested in connection with, the affair. Mrs. Gibson is not fatally hurt. RUSH FOR MINERAL LANDS. Wild Rush of Prospectors for Land Rich in Minerals. Throne, New, Oct. 29—Early this morning thousands of men were pre pared for a dash into Walker Lake. Indian reservation although a signal for the start was not to be given until noon. Promptly at 12 o'clock a big charge of dynamite exploded and a race for the gold was on. Launches, rowboats, automobiles, horses and burros used to speed the prospectors to the place where the mineral deposits of the re servation were located. The charges have freely made fa voritism being shown in allowing cer tain prospectors to enter the forbidden ground and stake out claims before the signal given. Owing to the extent of the territory to be guarded a small force of Indian police found impos sible to keep the thousands of prospec tors in restraint. Many evaded the guards and are out of reach. TROUBLE BLOWING OVER. No Growth of Anti-American Feeiing Among Japanese. Tokio, Oct. 29. —There are no signs whatever of the growth of ill feeling against Americans in general since the action of the Washington govern ment in the San Francisco public school situation became known. The public is growing remarkably calm. The ultra Chauvinism of San Francisco school authorities is deem ed to be a flagrant violation of the treaty but the concensus of opinion, while fully sympathizing with the delicate situation confronting the government at Washington, confi dently expects President Roosevelt to cbide by the principle of justice. Any apprehension of boycotting American goods is generally regarded as absurd. NEGROES ATTEMPT LYNCHING. Wilmington, N. C. Oct. 29. —Ellis Benjamin was struck in the head with an iron instrument by hi 3 assailants Charles and Joe Murphy. Benjamin will die of his injuries. The affair occurred at the Cham pion Compress. The other negroes tried to lynch the two assailants. The officers captured them and landed them in jail. The difficulty arose from a crap game. CASTOR IA For Infanta and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of Chew What You Know About ai .... i '• > : ' •*' * i Know What You Are Chewing There is real pleasure in chewing* the best tobacco grown— where the best tobacco grows —in the famous Piedmont Country. Only choice selections of this well-matured and thoroughly cured tobacco is used in making SCHNAPPS. That's why SCHNAPPS and ethers of the Reynold's brands, as shown by the Internal Revenue statistics for a fiscal year, made the wonderful growth of six and one quarter million pounds, or a net gain of one- third of the entire increased consumption of chewing and smoking tobaccos in the United States. Evidently, chewers cannot resist the flavor and they cheer SCHNAPPS because SCHNAPPS cheers them more than any other chewing to bacco, and every man that chews SCHNAPPS passes the good thing along —one chewer makes other chewers —until the fact is now es tablished that there are many more Sold at 50c. per pound in sc.

An inquest was held this afternoon to determine whether the gun shot or the blow on the victims head was the cause of his death. The shot was fired while the dead man was run i.ing and if the coroner's jury decide that the shot was the cause of his ueath, the matter will assume a more serious aspect. The blow with the pistol was inflicted when the fleeing man suddenly turned to make attack cn the detective. Companies Chartered. Raleigh. N.

When the officers entered the building where the game was go ing on, George Foster, a negro, drew a revolver and shot and killed officer Henry Sasely, and probably fatally wounded officer John Bowers.

C., Oct. 29. —Mr. Howard Rowe, the public cotton weigher of Wilson, bronchi, into town on last Thursday morning a 30-pound wild cat. It was shot the evening before by a negro named Dave Brooks, who was hunting on the lands of Messrs. J. M. and M. B. Aycock, at the junc tion of Black and Great Swamp, known as "The Seven Bridges," two miles below Black Creek. Tho animal is supposed to be about two years old; and it is thought that there is a family of them in that sec tion. Several fowls and pigs have been missed by the farmers round about and they think the cats destroy ed them. The animal is tabby in ap pearance and looks exactly like a' large cat, but is five or six times as i 1-rge. Mr. Lee Woodard lias promised to j stuff the animal and keep it on exhibit j at his store.

IN Tl?/E OF PEACE. In the first months of the Russia- Japan war we had a striking example of the necessity for preparation and the early advantage of those who, so to speak, "have shingled their roofs in dry weather." The virtue cf prep aration has made history and given to us our greatest men. The individual as well as the nation should be prepared for any emergency. Are you prepared to successfully combat the first cold you take? A cold can be treated much more quickly when treated as soon as it has been contracted and before it has become settled in the system.

About six hundred new names were added to the registration lists, a majority of these being in the city. If a full vote is polled the Democratic majority in Winston and Salem will be about 900. This will be amply large to overcome the Republican ma jority in the country districts, which will not be over 600, unless the Re publicans make much larger gains than the Democrats are willing to concede now. Tonight ex-Governor Aycoclc will make an address in the court house here. That the spacious building will be totally inadequate to accomodate the crowd that will be on hand is gen erally conceded, for the ex-governor has a warm place in the hearts of the people of this section, and not sine? I the days when the negroes voted here ! has so much interest been aroused as at this election. At the beginning of the campaign the leaders of both par ties were aware of the fact that the voters generally were paying very lit tle attention to politics and that it would take much work to arouse inter est, but since the great speech of Con gressman YV. W. Kitchin here last Tuesday night the rank and file of the Democratic party has taken much in terest in the coming election. It is conceded to have been the very thing j needed here and if the county is saved; to Democracy that speech of our Con-! gres&man will have done more to at-J tain that end any other feature i cf the campaign. The exact figures relative to the number of pounds of loose leaf to bacco sold on the Winston market | last week shows that the sales were! even larger than the warehousemen had estimated. The sales amounted to 1,53G,702 pounds, for which the growers received §131,754.00, an aver age of about S cents per pound. The inferior grade of the offerings kept the price down. One grower had about, 300 pounds on the market, which av-j eraged him $3-1 per hundred. The session of the North Carolina W. C. T. U., wliich convenes in Cen- ! tenary Methodist church in this city on the third of November, promises to ■ be largely attended.

Blalock was arrested and com mitted to jail here Saturday charged with stealing ?230 from T. W. Me dium. At the preliminary hearing late Saturday afternoon Blalock was re manded to jail to await the action of the grand jury at the next term of superior court. From evidence it seems that Blalock and Medium were friends, were drinking, and while Me dium was asleep Blalock took his money. Blalock confessed to the offi cer that he took the money and told him where he had buried it. An officer took the prisoner to the place where he claimed that he buried the money, but it was r.ot there. ?.iechuni says if Blalock, who comes of good family, will give him his money back he will not prosecute the case. It is believed by the officers that Blalock will givej bond soon and leave. Both Blalock and Mcchum are from Davie county.
