Spartanburg, October 11.?All i quiet in Spartanburg tonight, the mol spirit having died out, and no furtli er trouble is expected. The Hamptoi Guards, the local military company 1 lie Morgan Rifles, of Clifton, am the Traynliam Guards, of Laurens, art % still (in duty, however, and are full\ prepared to protect John Irbv, tin negro charged with having attempte( a criminal assault upon Miss Lillie De.mpsoy yesterday. The streets are practically clear oi people tonight, witili the exception oj l small groups of men gathered lien f and there about the court bous< \ square, in the. vicinity of the jail. N< i incendiary talk is being indulged iu 1 It is greatly to Die credit of tlie I' officials of Spartanburg that Irb\ jjj was not lynched yesterday or lasl night. The officers were determined to protect the negro at the cost of L.? their lives, and with three military I1* companies stationed in the jail yard ) -the mob soon saw tliat it would b( fqolhnrdy to attempt to take Trby. In many of the churches here today the ministers referred to the mol: ^ spirit Mi at had possession of hundreds of men yesterday, and gave thanks that another tragedy was not committed nga.inst tlie law iof the w land and the Creator and added tr, ^ thc awful crime charged against Trby, Tt is not known how long the troopremain on duty at the jail, f lough it is thought that the two visiting companies will return to tihcii homes tomorrow. The men who were , wounded in the miniature battle yesterday between officers and members ' of the mob are not thought to be seriously wounded. Miss Dempsey, who was brutally assaulted by Trby, lias in a measure recovered. though is stil! very nervous i and suffers much pain / about the1 head and throat. Tt may be several weeks before site entirely receivers. I Several Arrests Made.

G rover Fowler, who was arrest | ed today, was one of those who was shot yesterday. Fowler had a sledii'c hammer trying to batter down the j iron gate when he was fired on from f inside the jail. f Irby to Remain in Spartanburg. Columbia, October 11.?Governor |i Ansel returned this afternoon from Greenville, where he has been spendi ing several days on personal business. He passed through Spartanburg todav, and it was roporled to him that iJ1 ?. situation there is quiet, but the gro, John Trby held for attempted ?ault. is under military iruard. Tt is derstood to be the intention eif the icers tr> keep tihe prisoner in the il, which is strong and easily guard, and he will not likely be brought the State prison. Governor Ansel iy take' ii|> the matter e>f special rm of court to give the negro a trial. ABOUT COLLARS. arks of Man's First Step Toward Civilization. There is much virtue in a collar, any philosophers believe' that it is ic real distinct ion between a haririau and a civilized being", but this going a little to far, tor the idea f the collar is evident even in priniivc man. Those are nearer the lark ?vho say that the real qualifi11ion of a gentleniaii?one more inerent than birth, breeding, or the ighi to bear arms?is the ability to a clean collar without looking Conspicuous. I bit all are agreed that Aian without a collar is a poor thing, , ,i}id 'that unless he has one of the stfet in vogue fe>r the time being he is\?aelly lacking in dignity, and a ptifteible burglar e?r pickpe?cket. All through history, with one remarkable gap, the collar has been the sign of 1 the superior person, one e?f the insig ilia eif authority and the mark which J dis| iiiLruishes I lie really respectable ? individual from the Dohcmian. I he I coll" r of i lie kiiii'ht I v order and of I the* mavor ol a hnroii'jii niu>t have* 8 been \"-i -1 i^ intpo-uii'jf iu tlie* days | when to wear a collar was to be an 1 oxc,option. Man's first real step forward toward civilization was tlio assumption - oT a collar. It is true that tin* eariv collar was made of a necklace, and ilia.t it was mailt* of teeth or cowrie shells, the teeth being the spoils ol some enemy, .such as a man of another tribe, or a wild beast which it was a credit to have killed. And it is a s curious thing that the nock should > have been the first part of the body - to be decorated. It comes before the i head, with the band of grass, or hide. , into which feathers were stuck', and 1 which evolved into the crown in one ? direction and into the hat in the oth; or. It conies before the wrists, on j which bangles have developed into I bracelets and the kindred cuffs; bcj fore the waist and long before the fingers. It was this primitive instinct C for adorning the neck that led the p African chieftain to reject all other ? forms of European raiment and to > bedeck himself with the paper col) lar of the wandering white man. And . the more important a man became the > greater was the number <?f strings of ' shells or teeth that he put round his I neck, until he became as swathed as | I'eau Brunnncl or the I'rince Kegent. Hand no doubt as dignified. lint then eomes the curious gap in history. The | ancient civilizations were n?>; habi\ Iua 1 collar wearers: but tliaj was probably because they 1 i\"? ? 1 round about . the Mediterranean. where it is too , | hot to wrap up i'w neck., and because . they looked on m as a barbarous . tiling to do, a habit to be left t > the ; outlandish tribes. In fact, the l.aby. onians, ft reeks and lionians classed , collars with trousers -as things which no one hul a barbarian would wear. and that is the real reason whv our (civilization is -o superior ; > :in-ir-. .! I lu* white, or linen, collar quite . I a modern invent ion. I; i urned up II suddenly in the Middle Ages in the , form of the ruff, which \vas m , have been invented to hide ii scar on some royal personage *s neck. Tt reached its height in Elizabethan times, and then sank down into the htve collar of the cavalier, and starched and plain linen of the I'uri, tan. In Georgian days the collar was merged in the stock, only to come to the front again in Hyronic times, when the poet wore the turneddown collar, which almost proclaimed its wearer a free-thinker. Next came the. Regency collar, with its folds upon folds of cravat, which was worn in a modified form by old gentlemen even in the seventies, though twenty years before smart young men in London had worn a small' all-round, just like that which is known today as the 'military." Then in the sixties there was a painful lapse into t.he Hyronic collar, which for some reason or another was called the "Shakespeare, perhaps from a line draper's ot her. idea that one poet was as good as anKor the 1 i?t thirty years the allround still collar has reigned supreme. with such little eccentricities as turned down corners and butterfly fronts: though of la.te it has been threatened by the double collar, variously known as the "Roddy Owen'' or t.lie "Barmaid." By all the rules, df a single collar adds dignity to the wearer, a double collar should increase that dignity, but this is not the case. Tn fact, it is one of the mysteries of collardom that the wearing of a double collar in evening dresr is a hideous and inexpiable crime. The gr-at thing about a cellar, that which gives it ijs importance, is its aloofness from the coat. A coat-collar has no dignity, and is merely a fraud, pretending to be that which it is not. I he true collar must lit* sovereign and independent: it must encircle the neck justly, and 'neither hang round it like a necklace, nor compress it. like a boaeonstrictor. And, above and beyond all, it must wear t.he white flower of a blameless laundry. London Globe. How Birds Soar. Experiments recently carried out iu France have already set aeronauts to working on 'an entirely new line of thought in connection with the problem of" flight. Interest has been diverted from compact engines of exceptional power to i he quest ion of general construction and wind resistance. Many aeronauts believe that the successful flying machines of the near future will not require a highpower engine. The whole question has been thoroughly discussed before the French Academy of Science. It was shown by <aotunl experiment Mini a heavy object with no motor of its own c-an not only he sustained by 'the wind, but can even advance against the wind. The experiment had been inspired by long observation of soaring birds. The experiments of M. Mawitz ! Deprez. which undoubledlv will make an epoch in the history of mechanical flight, are extremely simple. 11? u*'| ed a light carriage like that of a Watts' Rai HEADQUAI CROCKERY, CHINA, WARE AND NOVELT This is the store that no other store in town, > and values.
