Fusillade at Negro Church.
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." -.

"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.

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.

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. -.< -> : >

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. C.

Section Hands Spread Alarm.
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

AVERY PATTOX TALKS.
ii^fnyille Member of Winding-up
Commission Has Something to Say.
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
