COLt'MBIA, H. 1\, Aug. IS. —A
special to the State from Greenwood
One of the moat diabolical at
tempts at criminal assault was made
yesterday upon the (arson of Miss
Jenule Brooks. the SO-year-old
daughter of J I*. Brooks. a pros
perous merchant and farmer of this
place, by a negro named Bob Davis,
Brooks was absent himself tem
porarily leaving the young lady In
charge of the store. The negro after
niuklug some purchases grubbed a
meal knife and said: “Yon are what
I want." Seizing an Iron bar the
young lady made an attempt to de
feud hereslf, whereupon the negro
slashed her across the throat, making
a gash four Inches long Hnd almost
severed two of her Ungers A posse of
1.000 men Is iu pursuit of the negro
and if caught he will probably be
lynched. Davis’ brother was lynched
12 years ago for assaulting a white
woman.
MORE PAY FOR
THE PRINTERS.'
WAHHlMflTON. Auk- l.1._ Public
Printer Stillings has gone on record
u« favoring higher wages in the gov
ernment printing office.
“The work of the office has bo
changed" he Bald today, '‘especially
in the printing branch since the In
troduction of typesetting machines,
that the estahlshed wage of $4 per
day Is hardly n fair compensation for
men and women who are skilled op
erators on these machines, and Is
not gt? much compensation n« paid'
by commercial and newspepar
offices to those doing like service.”
Me will recommend to congress a
higher wage scale.

AMI &ICANS

Americana used to l*e half a polo
Retie, half delimit, when they took
che«««e. They had «o often been told
that it was Indigestible that they
would as soon 'have questioned the
rule of three. The status of i hoese
I* entirely different now Physi
cians are declaring -and the people
are bellevelug — that cheeae. If eat
en properly, is u<>t onl\ digestible,
but a I ho more qatrlUous weight for I
w-elght, tiiaii almost mix other food
A Rreut amount, of ch«e«e tunuufac
lured in this cdpntrv is exported to
those places In {Europe which have
bi»en. and still ate famous for their
.cheese, and oar product Is fully equal
to the native brands, it is said that
Stilton cheeae Is made In this country
sent to ftCnalaud, w here u cloth Is put !
mound It^ and reehlpped to this and
other countries ns the genuine En
glish StilUui. The doth used puts a
peculiar print upon the do ese rind
which Is supposed to Identify It
However this may be. thin country
Is successfully making cheeae wlibh
were once made only In certain Kuut
pean districts Chief among these Is
the HW’laa cheese called Schweitzer
kuse by the Hermans and Urn yore by
• he Ktench. an excellent brand of
which is made In Ohio,
Much of the native cheese Is made
III the state or New York. It Is called
simply New York cream cheese and
runs frfom the new, nearly white
and nearly tasteless cheese to the
dark yellow or dark reds, which In
flavor and appearance resemble Stll
ton, Parmesan, Edam and aliniiai
European makes. To get any pur
tleulnr kind flic buyer must except
It be American Swiss, Roquefort,
Minhurgoi or the like- go to the
shop and buy by sample. Most or
• he Americau cheeses, Indeed arc
nunicies*. In Europe the call for a
certain brand of cheese always
brings Hie same product.
The white (‘ream che«*ses, aucb as
the Neiifchntel from Normandy, are
made In 1hia country to perfection
!’ Of the. eight ggiultiH ended Eobmary
lf*or., lli«» cheese exported from this
country amounted to 7,202,11X6
pounds, for the corresponding period
of 1906 It was fi,0ft9,09ti pounds
This falling off Is merely a coined
deuce, and does not Indicate a |es
sen f a g of the* product, been use that
industry in this country Is Increaa
lug. During the last four years It
lias nearly doubled, and a feature of
tin* Situation I* that Americans are
I becoming great cheese eaters a fact
which may, Indeed, account for part
( °f the falling off of the exports.
TUNNELS WITH
OUT ROOFS.
Nature seemed to he niggardly
with space In making the canyons
through which the Moffat road pas
ses. One of these Is flyers canyon
and the other the famous (lore can
on. In both of these there Is merely
room for the road to run beside the
river hank and Hii«*h space as has been
secured to lay tin* tracks has been
obtained by blasting out soil and
rock. I'ait of the rock blasted from
the canyon walls lias been thrown In
to the stream so that tlio mountain
torrent roars along with over-inereas
Insr fury hut Is powerless to cut
away the almost solid stone embank
ments of the line Dyers canyon and
More canyon are two of the available
places for crossing the main range of
the huge mountains that lie to the
westward of the continental divide
At either of then** points the passes
made by Nature through the mouri
fains saved the Moffat road many
thousands or dollars In tunnels There
Is little choice, however, between tin
boxed canyons and tunnels aside from
• he difficulties of construction. Th*
walls rise high and straight, and no
more passage foi teams can he found
through the narrow defile than If li
were Indeed, a tunnel. It is merely I
