Columbia, Aug. 11.?Mr. Altman, living about three miles from Columbia on the Asylum road, was brutally and fatally assaulted last night by some unknown person. Mr. Altman keeps a little store about three miles from Columbia just beyond Strickland's dairy. He lives in the store building alone, and is said to have done a small but profitable business. La>t night between 10 and 11 o'clock D. J. Young went into the store to do some trading. He found Mr. Altman lying in the rear of the sto:e with his skull crushed and his face dreadfully disfigured. Evidently he had been struck three blows with some sharp instrument. One ?.?"U *3 ClHo C~\ f I UiU ?V V.'I U5I1CU LUC Uppw ivit v-. the skull and spattered the brains over the floor. The third blow was just below the lett eye and crushed the jaw bone laying open the nasal cavity. Mr. Altman was lying just behind a table in which he kept his money drawer. The money drawer was gone, ana later search failed to find any trace of it about the premises. Evidently Mr. Altman was struck as he was bending over the drawer. Immediately Sheriff McCain and Deputy Sheriff Heise were notified. Sheriff McCain went to the scene of the assault, and Deputy Heise followed with Dr. W. E. Fulmer, county physician. Mr. Altman was taken immediately to the Columbia Hospital and at 1:30 was still alive, but in a most desperate condition. At that hour he was in the operating room and Dr. Fulmer was making an examination, j Sheriff McCain assisted by Mr. Culbreth and H. L. Creighton made every possible search for clues as to the , identity or whereabouts of the assailant, but discovered nothing last < night. 5 Mr. Altman was between 6 0 and ! 65 years of age. He lived alone in j the small one story store , building, i and is reputed to have accumulated j some savings. There was no evidence of any i struggle. Mr. Altman's pistol fully s loaded was found on a shelf just be- | hind the spot where he was struck J down. ] Dr. Fulmer after a thorough ex- < amination at about 2 o'clock this . morning stated that while everything had been done that could be done < there was no hope of recovery and that it was merely a question of a few j hours before death would come. The , skull had been crushed, the left eye i knocked out and a quantity of brains \ lost. ; Olemson Training Corps. Clemson College, Aug. 11.?Presi- : dent 'V. M. Riggs has received a tele- , J gram from the War Department an- , nonncing the authorization of a students' army training corps at Clemsen College. All students will be re- ? quested to tak^ ^he training of the < students' army training corps wheth- 1 er they enlist in it or not. Clemson has been one of the re served officers' training corps colleges and students enlisted to the advanced ' course of the reserved officers' train- 1 ing corps will not lose their right to ; commutation for subsistence by poining the students' army training ! corps. Dr. Riggs will go to Washing- 1 ton Monday or Tuesday to get further . details concerning the matter and he ; will have additional information when he returns to be given out fpr } the benefit of Clemson patrons and others interested. : ^ i ? i m AMERICAN SILKS. I Manufacturers Buying Designs by < Home Artists. The silk manufacturers and print- . ers are buying the designs offered by the home artists, says Marion Xicholl Ranson, in the American Review oi Reviews. The retail houses are ordering these native designs and will, of course, advertise them, as enthusi| astieally as they formerly advertised j those from abroad. The prices paid are good. Young designers are even retained by one silk concern to give their entire time to the study of design problems and to turn ou? purely American work. By these methods of cooperation is the real American textile being born. The museums- of the country are rapidly coming into prominence as important educational centers. For many rears the American Mu seum of Natural History has been collecting and exhibiting historical relics from all over the universe. The aim of the curators has been to classify these in the simplest way possible and i make the museum a really usable or-! gan of research. Help is offered and I given to any student who asks.it, and I the popularity of such a workshop ! is naturally growing. Whole classes go to study the design on old fabrics, and the material which has hieherto been known to comparatively fewpeople is now becoming familiar to many. POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT.

This was the main string on which all 1 three of the Byrnes opponents ] harped, though it is true that Toole 1 charged Byrnes with signing a plea i to Loyd-George, England's premier, for the freedom of Ireland?this too, in the face of the fact that the leader of Democracy, Woodrow Wilson, t made a plea himself for the "Rights j of Small Nations." f Near the closing of Mr. Croft's ad- 1 dress Chairman Stansfield beckoned j toward the door of an ante-room in ? which Congressman Byrnes, in the ] center of a group of friends, had been i listening to ihe speakers. As the young Congressman stepped forward a tumultous and spontaneous cheer went up and over the au- f dience which lasted several min- s iites. In announcing Congressman i Byrnes, Chairman Stansfield said: r "From the great heart of the common a >eople has many a leader come; 1 now present to you one such.

A little pale and workcvorn from continued service at his J post in Washington he looked, but t :he fire was there and he let the s sparks fly. He charged that Croft was trying :o keep the scent off his own trail :'cr endorsing a point blank Re- a publican for the Aiken postoffice by c naking charges against him I (Byrnes.) He denied positvely that F le had voted against the present Se- t cctive Draft and called on any man F o prove it.

The letter, which arrived in Thursday's mail was addressed to Congressman Byrnes by lion. Carter Glass, read in part: "President Wilson said to me, 'say lo Congressman Byrnes for me that 1 have never once doubted his wholehearted loyalty; I consider him one oi the ablest and most trusted members of Congress; Byrnes is a fine fellow.' " Waving the President's splendid endorsement in his hand, Congressman Byrnes concluded: "Whose vord do you take'.' Tnat or men who want my job or the president of the United States?
