Columbia, October 23.?The failure of the Southern Railway to relay its tracks on several lines in this State by October 1st, as ordered by -the railroad commission some months J ago, precipitated a warm discussion among the members of the commission at the regular weekly meeting. General Manager Ackert of the Southern was notified to appear before the commission on November 25th and show cause why the order of the commission has not been complied with. The order in question, which was p* issued several months ago, provided that by the first of this month the Southern should relay with heavier . rails the Columbia and Greenville, Augusta and Columbia, and Columbia and SDartanburg branches. 11 is understood that some of this work has been done, but only a small portion and that the railroad authorities claim it is physically impossible to comply with the order literally, though they are said to be endeavoring to comply as far as possible. Shooting Affray in Aiken. H*' Aiken, Oct. 21.?Mr. Ben Tyler, a well known farmer of the Levels section, had a narrow escape from being killed by one of his farm hands on Friday afternoon. Mr. Tyler was I in his cotton field weighing the cotton which about 30 negroes had picked that day. _Dne of the hands disputed Mr. Tyler's figures and while the two were arguing the matter another negro who had no interest in the mat.ter slipped up behind Mr. Tyler, and reaching around his neck, cut him with a pocket knife. The knife missed Mr. Tyler's throat, but a long gash was cut in his cheek. Mr. Tyler at once ran to a negro boy with whom he had left his revolver and gaf - * getting the weapon he turned upon '*' his assailant and fired three times at him. At the third shot some one knocked up Mr. Tyler's arm and the other negroes overpowered him and dragged him off. Mr. Tyler later m ? .1 i broke loose from tnose wno were holding him and ran back to the negro. But he found that the negro was shot through the stomach and began begging for mercy. Mr. Ty(??, ; v ler did not shoot him again and sent the man home in a wagon. Mr. Tyler's wound is not serious. The negro is said to be badly wound ed and may die. ? > Race Suicide in the Middle Class. "The sociologists lay the charge of . race suicide at the doors of the multiL'.> ' millionaires," writes Anna Steese Richardson in an article on The influence of the Business Woman on Home Life,' in the November Woman's Home Companion. "Why do they not investigate the family conditions in the great middle class, from which are drawn our most successful women? Here they will find the great source of danger to the promulgation of the human race. "To-day it is the young women? and the mature women?of the middle class who are turning their backs on the home wherein lies America's hope of future greatness. And for what? To exchange the birthright < of womanhood, wifehood and motherhood for the mess of pottage known as a business career. Therein lies the nation's greatest menace?race suicide." TO WED AGAIN.

Cable dispatches received today say Paris is convinced Prince DeSagan has won the heart of the American heiress who cast off Count Boni de Castellane.' The prince is a constant visitor at Mme. Gould's chateau, and is paying vigorous court. When asked by a friend about the rumors that she is to marry Prince DeSagan, the countess is reported to have said: "I am not going to jeopardize my . freedom again. Once was enough for me, thank you. Still Paris is convinced that the marriage is going to take place and that it would be off with the old rake and on with the new. It is even reported that the marriage will occur very shortly in the English capital.

But, although you will I i be looked upon as a promising pupil i by Mrs. Elizabeth 0. Hiller, who is | to have charge of the corn kitchen, there will be much that you may learn, ( says the Chicago Post Mrs. Hiller, it seems, knows "between 300 and 400 / ways" of preparing corn products. v The kitchen is to be one of the fea- i tures of the exposition. That all may \ see and hear what is being done in the : kitchen, and that all may realize its / true importance, it is to be hung in the } air?that is to say, it is to be elevated q olinnt fnnr f txpf T t t aowve LUC UWl auv uv ?>/-. ? will have but one wall, and that to the / back.

( There will be three sessions each day, * and they will be none too much for \ Mrs. Hiller to tell all she knows about f the cooking of corn. Morning, afternoon and night she will explain to / those who crowd around the rail \ bounded kitchen the reasons why "corn is king," as they say out in Iowa. ( All but forgotten dishes, of which * there is a-plenty of traditions, but a v paucity of recipes, will be explained In f terms of cuds and spoons and pounds v and pints until any woman who Isn't / a culinary degenerate will be able to \ serve the dishes which the housewives ? of Puritan and Cavalier days served, / but which have gone down that broad ^ way whereon have vanished so many v of the lost arts. ' f1 Pannhause Is to be one of the star > dishes in the kitchen. It sounds bad, Y but the badness of its sound is equaled V by the goodness of its taste, so Mrs. Y ETiller says. The Pennsylvania Dutch /j are the ones who are to thank for it } Even those frugal, stolid people change. V their habits, however, and as twen- fj tieth century progress came eighteenth >< century pannhause, which had surviv- = ed Into tEe nineteenth century, passed away. , Down in a deserted, inn in the Blue Ridge mountains lives an old woman ^ whose father was famous as a host in 2 the days when a stage trip was the ap- ^ proved because It was the* only means * of journeying. Her father served ? pannhause to his guests. Rememjber " bow it was made? Of course she ^id. A One art is not lost, after alL And what is pannhause? You must eat to v know it, Mrs. Hiller says, but it is Jj madi of cornmeal cooked for many ^ bours with the tender bits of meat T. Prom the head of a pig and with pork ' liver. After this cooking it is molded. u Then it is sliced and fried. Philadelphia scrapple, which assist- J id the Declaration of Independence in ' making famous the city for which it is 0 aamed, will be prepared in the kitchen. ?] Some of the methods of preparing ;ora are those* which the Indians " taught to the pilgrim mothers when ^ they weren't engaged in massacring the pilgrim fathers. They knew how e: to parch corn to save it from the bac- n teria of which they never heard, and c< they knew many ways of grinding it md mixing it with the juices of meats. w All parts of the country, with the ^ ironical exception of those great west- ?J irn tracts where most of the corn of ^ :he world is grown, contribute their J ecipes to the lectures which Mrs. Hil- P er is preparing. The corn land has jeen too busy raising corn to discover P lew ways of preparing it Corn pone, ^ such as only a southern mammy can S( make, will be served. From New Hampshire there will be a baked pudling made of Indian meal. Up in Ver- S* nont they might serve spring lamb h svithout mint sauce, but they never U! vould think of serving it without a jorridge of white cornmeal. "From hasty pudding, the simplest cind of a dish, to the confections and tc ce creams which are made or flavored w jritb corn we are omitting nothing of vhich we ever have heard," Mrs. Hil- sc er says. Everything that is prepared in the si titchen is to be served free to the vis- ti tors of the exposition. lil ti Lure of the Church.

'I heard what he said, nd I'll fix him right now. You tiould have set that child down and illed him in his tracks. Send the *ain conductor to me and we'll disose of him at once.' "Well the white colored man was ut off the train at DeKalb. But how paid me does not yet appear. You ie the family and I were returning om California, and we had tickets ) Chicago.
