Stringer, Colored, Had to be Chloroformed Be fore Weapon Could be Withdrawn From Her Back. Said to Have Become Enraged With Jealousy When His Wife Was Found Sitting in Another Man's Lap. Emma Fryer, the wife of E<l String er, colored, today owes her chance for recovery from a severe *tab wound Inflicted yesterday afternoon by Stringer, to the fact that It was with *uch force that he plunged a long knife Into her shoulder, while In a rage of jealou*.v, it is said, that it stuck too firmly into the hone for him to pull It out and probably suc ceed In his alleged attempt to end her life. Stringer has been In the employ of the transfer company here and so far as Is known has been an ordinarily peaceful negro. His wife's mother lives near Twiggs' rock quarry in South Carolina, between the North Augusta cemetery and the river, Just outside of the corporate limits of the town. Yesterday afternoon the negro wom an visited her mother and a short while after Stringer followed hot GETTING TIE, S. C. WIND-UP Pollock and Jennings Absent at Monks Corner. Only Blease and Smith Speak. Monks Corner, S. C.—One of the smallest crowds of the cumpaign for the United States senate, about 400, heard two of the candidates, says a special to the Atlanta Journal. Sen ator E. D. Smith and Governor Cole L. Illease, speak here Tuesday. A decid ed majority 'of the audience was anti- Blease, although the governor carried Berkley County two years ago. W. P. Pollock and L. D. Jennings were ab eent. The former wired his regrets, j "especially In view of yesterday’s meeting," stating that he would be at Manning tomorrow. Senator Smith was tendered a dem onstration by many of his Berkley, supporters, practically all farmers. He rode to the meeting sealed on a baJe of cotton In a wagon drawn by four mules. The parade was led by a band from Charleston, a long string of buggies following. The senator made about his usual speech, which the crowd listened to attentively. He discussed the present cotton situation, as the result of the war tn Europe, and his effort* to aid the farmers tn the criet*. concluding with the declaration that an tnspec- ! tlon of hi* record would show that ho haa kept ht* promises and predicting Ills re-election. Blease Claims Victory, Governor Blease declared that con servative estimate*, baaed on reports from Ids leaders In every county, ahow that he will be nominated In the primary next Tuesday, by not less than from six to seven thousand, per haps from fourteen to fifteen thousand majority. He charged the antl- Bleaaeltes with appealing to faction alism. displaying an advertisement appearing tn acme newspaper* urging the people to vote for Richard I. Man ning. of Sumter, "the anti-Uleaac can didate." for governor. When Governor Blease charged that F. F. McLeod, a prominent business man of Charleston and supporter of Ktnator Smith, had paid for the ser vices of the hand in the Smith parade. Mr McLeod approached the stand and declared th# governor’s statement un true. and that the band had been paid for with money raised among Senator Bmlth’a friend* tn Berkley County. Latter the chairman read a *tate ment signed by eight Berkley County citlsen* who declared that they hud fumUhed the money to secure the band. The governor declared that if o:i r v be and Bcnator Smith had been F.t the race the campaign would have across the river. When he found her it is saiil that she was sitting In a negro man’s lap at the quarry. On the Impulse of the moment Stringer drew a long knife and with all his might jabbed it into the woman’s hack, clear up to the end of the blade, it is said. Had he been able to pull it out and stab her again it is claimed that he probably would have killed her. Before the weapon could be with drawn It was necessary to chloroform the woman. Stringer consented to return to South Carolina without requisition pa pers and was taken to Jail at Aiken, where he Is being held pending the condition of the woman. At present he is charged with assault and bat tery wdth intent to kill. If the ne gress dies he will be charged with murder. been one of education as they would have discussed "issues, facts and fig ures,’’ but that somebody put two hirelings in the race to help Smith. Attacks Smith's Record. In making his usual attack on Sen ator Smith's record the governor re peated the charge that the senator had voted to pay $2,000 to the family of a negro who had been lynched, whereupon Senator Smith explained that such provision was in the consti tution of 1895, and had been put there by Senator Benjiman R. Tillman; that said provision did not contain the word "negro;” that a jury would have to pass on such a suit and that he was as much opposed as any other white man to paying a verdict under such circumstances and that his attitude while a member of the legislature to ward this provision was one of pro. lection for the family of a white man who might be lynched for other than the crime referred to by the governor. The executive replied that Senator Tillman was not infallible; that this provision was the biggest mistake Senator Tillman ever made, and that when an effort was made to repeal it Senator Cmlth voted against the re peal.

Innle Roberts, who Is, as a matter of fact, Mrs. Glßson's servant girl, about 19 years of age, called up Boyle's gro cery and meat market yesterday, ac cording to the police, and ordered a lot of groceries, telling the store keeper. or whoever answered the phone, that Mrs. Gibsou was sending her servant down to bring back the ai tide*. Forthwith Annie hies herself to the store for the groceries, thinking pos sibly that she would lay In a nice supply at the expense of her em ployer. She had ordered sugar. 25 cents; a steak, 25 cents; ham, $2.22: dozen eggs, SO cents, and a pound of butter, 49 cents. Mrs. Gibson had only been buying meat from Boyle’s and this made the storekeeper suspect something wrong. He told the negro girl when she ar rived for the groceries that he would call up Mrs. Gibson, and as he started t< the telephone the negro girl made for the front door. She caught a street car, but wag closely pursued by a clcrq from the store, who also pick ed up a policeman in the chase. Pret tv soon she wa* apprehended and sent to police barracks. There she firmly maintained her Innocence, saying that she knew' nothing whatever about it.
