BRUTAL MURDER ATTEMPTED.
Storekeeper Has Skul] Crushed?His
Money Drawer is Taken.
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

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. :

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.

Before a throng that packed the j Aiken

gentleman. He thought Congress-i 1
nan Byrnes had made a big mistake 1
in not upholding the Selective Draft, t
The said Selective Draft had done ; i
wonders for America. He recited t
several instances of bravery among; (
the soldiers now in France and i
stated that the Draft had the effect | t
Df making good soldiers out of the n
negroes as nothing else could have i I
3one. |}
Hon. G. L. Toole, followed the i
Edgefield speaker. j (
Mr. Toole was full of debate and c
ienunciotion. He pitched right in. I
He started' in a high key and kept it i
up. Losing sight of the fact that j
lie who controls himself is greater
than he who eontrols a city; he got ]
mad and showed it. He sailed in ;
hammer and tongs on "Jimmie" i \
Byrnes. Every now and then he; j
would pound a most voluminous <
book he had placed on the desk be-1 <
fore him and shout "I have the; <
records!" i ]
He lost his head. Mr. Toole did j j
not keep calm enough for his listen-! :
srs to fully catch his words. j i
And then came?to use John Ed-: j

Byrnes had charged him at Granite- j :

cratic party to endorse C. E. Carman, :
who although a good citizen, was
not of the Wilson Democratic faith,
and in fact was one of the Presi- <
dential Electors for Woodrow Wil- <
son's opponent, Charles Hughes.
.Mr. Croft read a dispatch from a ;
friend at Washington, D. C., which
stated that the records of that parti- ?
cular case were destroyed, but also
stated that "it appears that Tiieo. G.
Croft did endorse Carman."
The speaker stated he was not
sure that he had signed his name to
the endorsement, but if he had he

and furthered the volunteer system | =
in the face of President Wilson's
disproval, against the Selective
Draft system as now in vogue. 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. Raised an _
orphan boy by a widowed mother, he
nas gradually climbed his way frbm
:hat widowed mother's knee to a high

dim, he has been the stenographer in E

:rict?I have the honor to present to j
rou the Honorable James t\ nyrnes.
Amid another thunder of applause
ind calls for "Jimmie!" "Jimmie!*'
Mr. Byrnes stepped out before the
irowd. 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. He did vote, together
.vitii ether solid Democrats, against ;he
Draft law which left a loop-hole A
)pen for slackers and the sons of
ich men. He stood by the President

lie had been called to the White
Mouse many times by President Wil?cn
for consultation on matters of
rust and weight and enjoyed that
?reat man's absolute confidence. To
ip th- climax, as it were, and to
set aside forever all attempts by his
opponents to reflect on his loyalty,
tie pulled fro mhis pocket a letter
fron: the Hon. Carter Glass, of Virginia.
close friend of the President
?>d staunch leader of Democrats,
md read the President's endorsement
of himself to the people-- for
Woodrow \?:Ison makes no mistakes
in his choice of men. 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? If I am good
enough for Woodrow Wilson God
knows I ought to be good enough for
you."
To anyone not blinded by prejudice
md of unbiased mind the Aiken meeting
of the Congressional candidates
was most decidedly in Congressman
Byrnes's favor.?Reprinted from the
Aiken Journal and Review and published
