Martin V. dnael Dr' Mtnry M. Fnyder Addrecaefl the COMMUNITY IN ARMS. Berrell Me Lane is Killed and His Son • »- Seriously Wounded by Nefro Em* ployees on His Plantation at Turner, Aiken County. A Lynching is Feared. Tbe Augusta Herald says aooordfng. to num-rous reports received Id Au gusta M oday morning a race riot wa- surted at Turner, S. 0., a small set tlement Id Aiken county, Sunday night In wbiob a promlc nt farmer was kill ed, bis son seriousftxmounded ann three negroes either killed oa-wuunded. The death and injury of the two whit* men has been on firmed and the sheriff Aiken county wired to from Turner to oome at ot oe and organise a posse. The lnf>rtpatlon received from the *' vlololty of Turnerr—whiobAas no tele phone dr telegraph connection—is that J. B. McLane, bitter known as Bur rell McLane, the largest planter In tbe little settlement, was shot to death by Dave Gardenhelgb and hia son, both negroes, while one of Mr. Mo Lane's sens wsa severely wounded hav Ing tbe whole back of one leg shot Away. A party of some 75 or 100 men was formed and started In search of the negroes, who made their escape, with tbe determination to lynch them. •' Telephone oomtuunlcatlon with the office of Sheriff Rilnborn, of Aiken, Is to thr effort that serious trouble has been reported there, but none of the details given. Monday morning Sheriff Ratnborn received a telegram urging him to oome to Ellenton at once and organise a posse to scour the country. Tbe sheriff left immedlktely for Au* gusta to take the 2:25 train from there to Ellenton, the nearest station to Turner. The story, as gathered-from various sources over the telephone, in the vicinity of Turner, and from pas-seng* - ers c ming to Augusta on the morn ing train, is that tbs negro Garden heigh, whalivea on tbs McLane place, had stolen a child from a negro wo man living on a nelgboring place and was ordered by Mr. McLane to return it, but did not do so. Sunday after noon Mr. McLane went to tbe negro and ordered him to take the oh lid back or he would havAU taken away from the negro At this point tbe information ob tainable Is rather meagre, but^tatthe effect that there were words betwi the employer and the negro employe and later in the afternoon Mr. Mo ^ Lane and his son—which otfe of thei olM8 three sons oanoot be learned—wenti o the bouse of tbe uegro to see that the order had been carried out. They found several other negroes at the place. It seems that an altercation was started by tha negroes, when Gardenhelgb and his s>n rushed updo Mr. McLane and his son, both of them firing a load of shot loto the elder Mr. McLtne, killing him Instantly. The younger McLane was then tired upon, the calf of his leg belug shot away, but wbo bred tbe shot is known. From reports it appears that the two white men tired upon the negroes, kilting one of them and wounding three others, but it appears that the elder Gardeohelgh made his ■ escape with some of his corf pan Ion* and it is for them that the party of white people are searching with the determioatlon of carrying out a lynching bee. It appears from the report received in Aiken that excitement is running high throughout the community aod further trouble is feared from tbe nfgroes. Coroner Oven®, of Alk^n, called at The Herald office Monday afternoon to get some information bearing on the riot. He said the only Information Sheriff Rainborn bas is a telegram asklog that tbe sheriff and coroner come at onoe to Turuer, stating that Burrell M< Lane had been killed In a riot and the whole white community is in arms. Mr. Owens A Formidable Array of Sea Fighters Tbe Halldlng of More Sblpe Will Proceed. It is almoet Impossible to estimate rhe strength of the new navy of the United States now compared with what It was only few years back, and while Admiral Togo's aweaping vic tory la fresh In ths mind of tne people of tbe world, it is Interesting to see what would probably be tbe result of a naval fight by this country today. The advocates of a new and strong navy will indeed be glad to run over tbe list and see tbe number and strength of first-class battleships, ar m .red cruisers, torpedo boats, torpedo boat destroyers, etc., on tbe active Hat in active commission, and ready at a moment’s notice to do battle with tbe great powers of the world. All of >ur nival force Is divided Into three fleets at thia time—tne North Atlan t c fleet, under Admiral ikblev, D the Pad fib static rrtn j Evans, fleet. The Nortfe Atlantic fleet be ing possibly the strongest of tbe three, detains more first-class battleships and armored cruisers than the other two, yet neither of the other two are considered weak by sby means, oon talnlng many of the smaller and swifter s<a going craft of ths navy. Admiral, Evan’s fie it consists of tbe following compliment: Flag ablp Kear- sarge, twenty two guns; Alabama and Illinois, eighteen guns eacb; Ken lucky, twenty two guns; Maine, twenty guns; Massachusetts, sixteen guns; Missouri, twenty guns; Iowa, eighteen guns; gun bust Scorpion, eight guns; cruiser Brooklyn, twenty guns; Des Moines, ten gum; protected cruiser Cleveland, ten guns; O.ympta, fourteen guns; Texas, second-class battleship, eight guns; monitors Fior ids, Arkansas and Nevada, six guns eacu; protected cruiser Newark; gun boats Bancroft and CiStino; convert ed cruiser Dixie; protected cruisers Ohattanocga and Detroit; gun boat Newport; protected cruisers Tacoma, DesM(lines, Galveston, Aberanda, col Her Caesar; .coal supply ship Colga; Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Colora do and Maryland, all armored cruis ers; Minneapolis and Columbia, pro tected cruisers; cruiser Hartford; con verted cruiser Pralrje; gun. boat To peka; converted cruiser Yankee; tor pedo boat destroyers, twelve; two sub marines; eighteen torpedo boats In reserve; oca submarine In reserve. This i trength represents the N^rth AUautic fleet alone, now under com mand of Admiral Evans. There aie now in ocmmlsslon, and ready, for service at any momeot when the department may call for them, the following shipe: Three ahipe of the class of the Alabama, 11,525 too*, jhe (begun class, 10,228 tons, 16 qs. main gun battery; one of the “Ntf tbe Iowa, U.3A0 tone, 18 guns main battery; two of tha Kear sarge olaavll.525 tons. 22 guns main battery; three of ths class of the Maine, 11,500 tons. 20 guns; onp sec ond clasrebsttleshlpv Texts, 6,350 tons, eight guns, main battery; ar mored cruiser*; Brooklyn,^ 215 tons, 20 guns main battery; jNsw York 8 200 tons, 18 guns main battsryHwo of the West Virginia class, 13,680 tons, 18. guns main battery; two of tbe Pennsylvania, 13,780 tons, 18 puna main hitrorp There art also two monitors of tbe class of the Mo- nadni ck; 4.500 tons, six guns; one of the Puritan, 0,000 tons, ten guns three of the Ampnitrlte, 3 090 tooa. eight gum; four of the Florida olaas, 3,214 tons, six guns Bealdes these there are four torpedo boat destroyer* of the Decatur class b sides numerous other destroyers and torpedo boats. There are now under construction, forty three shits of which twelve are first-class battle ships, ten are armor ed cruisers, three protected cruisers, (be oLhom being gun boats, colliers and torpedo boats. With this formld able array of sea fighters It can be seen that the United States at tbe present time is pretty well able to take care of Itself, should occasion arise for her to show her progress oo tbe high seas of the world. Besides this It Is not Improbable that since we have made so much progress along this line during recent years that Aa Bxoelleat Year's Work Complet ed at tbe CKris' ladasttlal Col* lege at Book Hill. The tenth annual commencement exercises of Winthrop college dosed Tuesday night of last week, and this dose marked an occasion which most have awakened the pride of all con cerned.

An Obliging Kditor. In course of the conference held In Washington last year by the Amerl can newspaper humorists, some one told the following, declaring that William Allen White was the hero of the stnry. One day there strolled into White's sanctum a man wbo was evi dently a politician. He edged confi dentially towards White and, slipping a memorandum written by himself un ier the eyes of tbe editor, said; ' "Say, old man, I’d Cake It to be a great favor if you’d just manage to put in tbe paper that I’m in town with my wife, stopping at the Blank hotel. You might work In something as to my being an eminent Kansan, or words to that effect. Personally, I don't care a hang about this sort of guf; but—well, you know what tbe women are. And I’ll take one hun dred copies of tbe paper.” And the eminent Kansan laid before the editor a five dollar note. Then be took his departure. The next morning, to his Intense amazement and disgust he reads in White’s pa per: "Mr. Richard Dash requests ns to say that he with his wife, la stop ping at the Blank hotel; that he la an eminent Kansan; that ha himself cares nethlng for newspaper notoriety but that a society note would be some what kratifying to Mrs. Dash. He adds that ha win take one Hundred copies of the paper for distribution among his friends.'^ Two Children Drowned.

Wight, Ethel, aged 10, and Aldan, aged 12 jean, were drowned while In bathing. x The family were on an outing. Mr. J. B. Wight’s little daughter came vary near drown ing at the same time. ^ ft The correspondent ef The Btate says proud fathers, happy mothers and professors silks Tuesday of last wssk witnessed tbe fruits of their labors, whan diplomas were awarded to tbe 40 graduates of the class of lOOfi of Clemson college. Weather conditions were almost IImI and not in recent years has there been so large a crowd at oommenoement. In fact the num ber of visitor! was so large that it was almost impossible for all to secure so oommodations. Etch year the atten dance upon oommenoement grows lar- crowd this year exeat dad all others. It was an inspiring scene aa the grad uating dam marched into the audito rium and took their places on the front row of seats. TUey were fol lowed by the faculty, headed by Presl dent Mall, with Dr. H. N. Snyder tha orator of tha day, the board vt trustees bringing up tbe rear, taking Chair places on the platform. The dosing day’s exercises of commence msnt were opened with prayer by Rev. B. B. Turnipseed, pastor of the Methodist ohuron of Aiken, one of the first graduates of Clemson college and the lint to enter the ministry The programme was interspersed wlto music by the college orchestra. President Mell Introduc d Arthur Jackson Speer of Abbeville, the first of tbe three dass orators, who *poke on "Revolutionary Russia. ” He was followed by Robert FI- ming Gooding of Fairfield, who* subject was "Ar bitration.” Tnen came Lester Ern est Boykin, wbo dlscussen "The Law of Trial by Impeachment.” These addresses showed much thought and preparation and were well delivered, aa waa evidenced by tbe generous ap plause of tbe andlenoe. Briefly, Dr. Mell Introduced Dr. H. N. Snyder, president of Wofford college, wbo seid be waa pleased to oome to “the lair of tbe Tiger.” In speaking to the graduating olaas Dr. Snyder discussed "The Chivalry of a Democracy,” mentioning Wll Ham H. Baldwin as a good example He began with the knight errant of ancient timed and came on down to the present day, saying the knight errant of the new age is the " worker. ” As an Illustration of what honesty, Heyward w*a natural and for-1 common sense and integrity will ac oompliah, the speaker thrilled his an ditun with the story of the life of Abraham Lincoln. Be told bow the young backwoodsman, sitting before the firelight of bis log cabin borne, was to be seen reading bis books and figuring and bnllo Ing the foundation for one of the greatest mindset hte age; bow, when he wanted to go to the State legislature, hia ft lends, said, "Well we will vote for him becauae.be Is honest,” and be waa elected. Serv ing bla district faithfully, he sought! seat In congress. But he did not go about making speeches on the tariff and other questions * > nothing of and hia constituents less Oae day aa he passed a netg b »rlng farm he saw men cutting grttirbul they were not making much headway. Grasping the implement of one o tnem he said, "Folhw me aod I will show you how to out grass.” And be wielded tbe great knife as only one with such strong arms could. When election day came the voters said, "Wall, we will vote for tbe man wbo can do somethiog, wbo does things,’ and be waa elect* d to congress Then came tbe black clouds of war and the people again looked about for an hon est man to load them.
