Aiken, May 31.?Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Raborn received a telegram from White Pond to the effect j that a riot was being enacted at that place. No details were given. Sheriff Raborn, with Deputies Samuels 't and Cato, hurried to White Pond. They found that at a negro church, Summer Grove, a "falling out" had| resulted in one negro, John Allen, being stabbed in the back with a knife by Gabe Moseley, another negro. When this occurred about 75 negroes with pistols began to fire at . the assailant, and hundreds of shots are said to have been fired, with lit tie or no effect. Nearly all of them , were fired at the escaping negro, who, however, finally made his escape, presumably unhurt. When the ; officers reached White Pond they found about a hundred negroes congregated at the depot, after the church services had been concluded, but the fuss was over with and things had reached a normal attitude. However, they found a couple] - of negroes, "Mud" Bellinger and John Holmes, with pistols on their persons, and they were brought to the jail on charge of carrying concealed weapons, but it is not thought they were implicated in the church row. The wounded negro is said to be in a serious condition and may die. The officers have returned, and no excitement is prevailing at the I seat of war. A Question of Time. A conductor on the O'Fallon Park division of the old St. Louis and Suburban railway had such a good run of business Sunday afternoon that he had difficulty in keeping himself supplied with small change, says The St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Many^persons who patronized his car handed him dollars and bills of larger denominations in payment of their fares. The conductor managed to get along fairly well until a woman, carrying a tiny infant, boarded his car. When he approached the woman for her fare she handed him a $5 bill. -Is that the smallest you have, madam?" queried the conductor, fearing another stringency in change. The woman looked at the conductor and then at the baby, and made this surprising reply: "Yes, I have been married only twelve months." -. 'v ' "CLEAN UP" DAY PROPOSED. Plan to Get All Citizens to Devote One Day Thereto. The Civic Improvement League has under consideration the institution of a vigorous campaign for bringing about a "back yard reform." The ider. is to devote, say, the first week in June, to cleaning up all the premises in the city by inaugurating an annual event, to begin with this year, in which business men, clerks, officers and departments, householders and women and children, will all join in raking up rubbish, cleaning vacant lots, mowing down weeds, cleaning such alleys as are in the city and making clean the back yards of residences and business houses; in fact, gener ally furnishing up tne city ior me summer and fall. "Clean-up-week" is an anniversary occasion in many cities of the country, North and South. Gradually all the cities are coming into the movement for at least one universal clean-up a year, for the purpose of putting it into the best possible sanitary condition. In other cities coal oil is poured on stagnant water, cisterns are covered with wire mosquito bar netting, every can and other container that might hold water is emptied and thrown on the trash heap or placed where it cannot catch the rain and breed mosquitoes, all I yards are carefully cleaned of refuse j of every sort and such as cannot be burned is thrown on heaps and hauled away by the scavenger wagons to thfe dumping grounds. The back yards and alleyways are then sprinkled with lime. On one day in the spring a holiday is declared, and everybody goes to work in the clean-up crusade. The city administration co-operates Business men put on working duds and work side by side with their employes. The children compete with each other in getting up the biggest piles of trash, and when the cam paign 19 aone ine cuy is neat auu clean and healthful. Several days before clean-up day printed notices are handed out by policemen to all tenants and owners of property. In a measure each policeman is held responsible for his beat in this manner. The health department co-operates with the police, and the city engineer's department with both. Householders have the active assistance of these three departments and the street commissioner's forces as well. Such a campaign conducted in Columbia would put the city in a good sanitary condition, and would go a long ways towards putting the festive mosquito out of business, besides making the place attractive to visitors. It has been suggested that after the "cleaning up" a committee be authorized to inspect all parts of the city and then announce which street is the cleanest, and which has been left the dirtiest.?Columbia State. m A Keen Observer. Ethel, aged three, had been to visit her cousins, two fun-loving and romping boys. She had climbed upon her father's knee and was telling him of her visit. "Papa, every night John and George say their prayers they ask God to make them good boys," said she. "That is nice," said papa. Then thinking soberly for a few minutes, she said, "He ain't done it yet."?The Delineator for June. Preacher to be Prosecuted. Columbia, May 31.?Rev. Arthur B. Kennedy, assistant pastor of the first Baptist church, will be prosecuted by the local society for the prevention of cruelty to animals before the recorder or in a magistrate's court for hurling a big sheperd dog belonging to a prominent lady member of this " congregation through the church window at a revival meeting yesterday and injuring its back by falling on a brick drain below. Seeing the dog in the aisle, though 1 or nnfoflv tho nr0ar>hpr Inst lb TT ao IJ1U5 4UIVbV) V**v his temper and threw it through the window. The incident is being talked of everywhere and it will likely break up the meeting and cause the minister to lose his position. Had Saws in Cell. Anderson, May 29.?In the casings of the cell holding Webb Simmons, the white murderer condemned to die, nine hack saws were today discovered by two deputies, a plot to free the prisoner being thus thwarted. Several days ago Sheriff King discovered traces on the cell bars which he thought were due to saws and on his order for a close search the discovery to-day was made. Several weeks ago bottles containing nitric, sulphuric and hydro-chlorate acids were discovered in the cell occupied by Simmons and two other prisoners after they had managed to burn several bars nearly in two. When shown the saws to-day Simmons simply smiled and said nothing. It is believed that they were smuggled in to him bv friends visiting the cell. Sim mons killed Deputy Marshal McAdams and is sentenced to hang July 23. Defendants in Washington. Washington, May 31.?Former Sheriff J. F. Shipp, of Chattanooga, Tenn., and his five codefendants who were cited by the supreme court of the United States to appear before it to receive sentence for contempt of court in connection with the lynching of the negro, Johnson, arrived here early to-day. Shipp's five associates are: Jeremiah Gibson, Dick Nolan, Henry Padgett, William Mays and Luther Williams. The men say that they will be in court promptly to-morrow. The men reached here in custody of United States Marshal W. A. Dunlap and were accompanied by M. H. Clift and G. W. Chamblee, attorneys, the former of whom is looking after Shipp's interests. The entire party is stopping at a hotel and is under little or no restraint. -.< -> : > -V. ADAMS'S PLEA REFUSED. I Supreme Court Refuses to Open Case ol Colleton Man. Columbia, June 1.?The Supreme Court has refused to re-open the case of the State against R. A. [ Adams, thus finally disposing of one of the remarkable criminal records of Colleton county. Adams killed Henry Jacques about five years ago, and after considerable trouble was caught and tried for murder. He was under death sentence, when he escaped from jail, and a reward of $1,000 was offered by Governor Heyward for the man, dead or alive. It was believed at the time that some of the county officials knew of the I whereabouts of Adams, but word was finally sent in by the defendant that he would surrender. This promise he kept, and was landed in the county jail. Motions for new trials were refused, but the State board of pardons recommended his commutation to a life sentence in j the penitentiary, which was agreed I upon by the Governor. Since then he has been in the State penitentiary, and the action of the Supreme Court in refusing to re-open the case means the end of Adams for the remainder of his natural life. Miss Jordan's School. Noticing, Mr. Editor, that very little, if any expression worthy of report regarding the exercises attendant upon the school as taught by Miss Georgie Emma Jordan at the Spring Branch academy some time ago was mentioned in your county paper, thought it not untimely to again reproduce it, and present its claims, to show sometimes, how worthy minds are permitted to slumber unrecognized, while others, less deserving, are extolled for praiseworthiness, and meritorious action. T+ f\Anravap en ndPll rc Q n H it seems to spring from spontaneous thought arising from selfish motive, or design as a preventive to success in others. This seems to be human, but is it right, or just? The fundamental charter as given, and which embodies our whole constitutional rights and government says, "That all men are created equal," and so in Biblical law, God says, that "He is no respector of persons." But in either case we are not to withhold praise from any that deserve it, and I think often that the well-deserving are shoved to the wall through neglect, because they have not the means wherewith to bring them out before the public, as the better class have by financial means. "The Noti Homines" class of to-day are those who fill our highest, and most prominent posts of honor. They have striven to attain them, and by application and mental effort have reached the pedestal of their ambition, Many an amateur to-day remains ir the background because of means and not of merit to prove their quali fications. Of course all can not react the goal of their ambition, but let us help the more deserving to react points of honor and trusts, whatevei those points are, and by and by w< will see by those gifts that they hav< profited by our help. The minister the professors of our collegiate in stitutions, and those of equal merii who deserve our help, let us aid Many an institution to-day is a drag Simply, not because their preceptors are scholarly men, but because the] are not practical men, and are noi suited to the positions they fill. I am reminded along this line o a man who was sent for to adjus some repairing about some machin ery. After an hour or so the ma chinery was in fine operation. Th< owner of the plant asked the ma chinist his charge. He said he charg ed him $5 for his work. The sur prised owner of it said: "Why, m: dear sir, it did not take you over ai hour to do it." The machinist re plied: "I did not charge you s< much for the repairing I did, but i was for the knowing how." So it ii with places occupied to-day by inex perienced, non suited men, or wo men. It is distasteful, we know, t< remove them, but we must remembei that the reputation of any institutioi is built upon the competency "o knowing how," in the managemen of its affairs. But to the point. I was an inter ested observer to the school I men tioned, and I must say that too mucl praise could not be attributed to Mist Jordan for the manner in whicl everything was conducted and car ried out. She certainly had her pu pils well drilled in all of their ex erciseB, and the tact she displayed well deserved the applause of ever: attendant present. Here were rav recruits to be brought out, and criti cized by some who were in a measun competent to judge them, but sur prised at their readiness and prompt ness of action in every particular they exclaimed as they left th< ground: "Well, this is one of th< best scholastic exercises I have evei attended." Now, in conclusion, Mr. Editor permit me to say, without the shadow of a doubt, that had I childrer whom I wished taught in any and al - -? -1 ? x -i Drancnes or an eiemeniary siauumu and I was in reach of Miss Georgit Emma's influence, she would be th? choice of my selection in all of theii rudimentary and even highei branches of study. She has no diploma to prove a collegiate course but she has something I think equally as creditable in some respects, and these are tact, patience, energy, and a natural gift for training and moulding minds.

The town of Salley, in Aiken county, is bordering on a state of bloodshed as a result of warring factions growing out of family feuds of long standing, according to complaint made to the governor Tuesday, whc was asked to remove the Salley chiei of police.

The storm formed half a mile southwest of Zephyr and swept down 1 upon the village, cutting a wide ! swath directly through the residence ' and business district. Many houses were entirely demolished. Light ning struck a lumber yard and start ed a conflagration which destroyed ! one entire business block.

A section hand rode a hand car to i Brownwood and spread the alarm, t In two hours the Santa Fe railroad i was speeding a special train to the r scene of the storm with nine sur geons and a score of Brownwood - physicians. ? Hundreds of persons directly in the storm's path saved themselves by t taking refuge in storm cellars. More than a dozen bodies were horribly mutilated. County Clerk Thad 3 Cahler, his wife and two children, f who had gone to Zephyr to spend the 1 night, were killed. The big stone school building and two churches ? were swept from the face of the earth. By daylight 16 surgeons were " working on the wounded. Brownwood hurried her second re lief train at noon to-day and neces"T sary articles and 40 nurses. To-night three persons are still un~ accounted for. Two children were dead late this afternoon, two miles 1 out from the town, having been " blown that distance. 5 A special train will leave Zephyr 1 to-night for Temple carrying the 3 more seriously injured to the hos " pital. 3 Storm's Fury Terrific. r The storm was 300 yards wide and 1 swept the earth for only a short dis1 tance, probably less than a mile. Its 1 fury is considered the most terrific of any tornado ever experienced in " this section. J. I. Clingman, C. E. Kirkpatrick 1 and nine surgeons, who formed the 5 first party out of Brown wood, found 1 a desolate scene awaiting them. The hillsides at Zephyr were cov' ered with debris of all kinds and " bodies of dead animals and human 1 beings. The ruins were dimly light7 ed by the burning buildings and the 7 cries of the wounded rose above the " sound of the elements, which threat* ened a second storm. A hog roam" ing through the debris-strewn street " was killed while trying to devour, the ? body of an infant. Bodies were | found twisted about trees and in * every conceivable shape. People r walked the streets almost naked, crying for their loved ones. Resi' dences which escaped the storm were turned into hospitals, where were } carried the bodies of the dead and 1 wounded. [ One stone house collapsed on a | family of nine without serious injury ; to any. Brownwood, with splendidly organized relief work, has the situation well in hand. [ Sent Him Ice by Mail.

Mr. Avery Patton, of the State lispensary commission, appointed to vind up the affairs of the State dispensary, has returned from Columbia, vhere he has been attending the investigation into the affairs of the dispensary, which were interrupted by he injunction of the courts. Mr. Patton said to-day, to a repreientative of the Daily Piedmont, that ie thought the commission had ac omplished a great deal at the meetng which has only recently adjourned. He said the commission had isked for the books of the different /hiskey houses, and that when these ,'ooks were examined by the comnission in every instance there had jeen found over-charges, ranging 'rom twenty to sixty per cent. He ;aid that this part of the work had )een successful, but that the comnission could not work further on ;he matter, because of the fact that ;he several whiskey houses who have lone business with the State did not Dring their books to the commission for examination, as they were orderJd to do. He said that in each instance the whiskey people were represented b^ their attorneys, but that :hey had not brought their books, md they seemed to be trying to each some agreement with the commission without offering their books for inspection. Mr. Patton said that the commisBB n^omAnclv onnmmnoH haH 31VS11) OS |/iCTAVUOA/ UUUVUMWVfty set another day for their appearance, *nd if all the books requested are not shown by the eighth of June, the day named by the commission, they will be proceeded against as the commission thinks best. Mr. Patton brought out the fact that the courts cannot do anything in regard to the work of the commission as long as the commission stays in its specified bounds. The books have been asked for, says Mr. Patton, and all of the companies who do not respond to the request will be made to pay the penalty. Commissioner Patton says that the commissioners will go over their accounts and will look into me matter 01 tue charges and find their decision, and there will then he nothing for the liquor companies to do but submit to the decision of the commissioners. After finding the decision, the liquor companies will be paid according to the judgment of the commissioners. If instances arise where it will become necessary for suit to be instituted against the whiskey people, in their own State, then that will not be taken up by the State, but the firm of Atlanta lawyers, who will prosecute the case, and if they win then the State will reap the benefits, and if not then the State will not suffer the loss, as was the agreement in the contract drawn between the commissioners and the Atlanta lawyers. Mr. Patton said this morning that the work which was accomplished was successful and that the meeting which is set for the eighth of June will be the last one, and that the commissioners will no doubt wind up the business, after about a week's work.?Greenville Piedmont. Fair Wizard of the Rifle. "There isn't a woman in America or, indeed, in the whole world, that can duplicate the wonderful ride and trap-shooting of a lady of my town," said Maj. G. P. Butts, of San Antonio, Tex., at the New City Hotel. "This feminine wizard of the gun, Mrs. Toepperwein, shoots with a.percision that is simply marvelous, and the best male shots in the United States take off their hats to her as the only creature in skirts that can best them at their own game. But, curiously enough, San Antonio is the home of another woman, Mrs. Dan O'Connell, who falls only a little below Mrs. Toepperwein in her great specialty. Mrs. O'Connell has been doing some extraordinary shooting of late, and her friends say she will, if she keeps up practicing, surpass her neighbor. Only a few days ago I saw her make 49 out of a possible 50, a performance that even the topnotchers of the male sex are proud to achieve. When it is recalled that trap shooting is a severe strain on the nerves and senses, and that it reauires so much in the way of endur ance and self control, the more extraordinary* it seems that Texas should have the two greatest female exponents of the sport in the entire nation."?Baltimore American. Guilty of Artist's Murder. Alexandria, Va., May 31.?Calvin Johnson, a negro, was convicted this evening of murder in the first degree for the killing of Walter P. Shultz, the Chicago artist, near here, March 5 last. The jury had been out since last Friday night and until early to-day stood 10 to 2 for conviction. Two of the jurors who held out for a compromise verdict were brought over only after Judge Barley had permitted the prosecution to introduce further evidence to-day. Johnson will be sentenced later.

Augusta, Ga., June 1.?One of the compartments in the warehouse of the firm of S. M. Whitney & Co., of this city burned this afternoon. The damage is estimated at $25,000. There were between 600 and 700 bales in the warehouse. Henry P. Starnes, captain of Company 3, was badly injured by a falling bale of cotton. Finally Jim's wife died, and Mae's M husband went the long journey about the same time. Then Jim thought of pjsi Mae and Mae thought of Jim, and advertisements were inserted in news- ,f?g| papers by Jim in an effort to locate his old time sweetheart.
