.?*' ?' 1 Two White Men and Three Negroes Said to be Killed. COMMUNITY IN ARMS. " i Burrell McLane is Killed and Mis Son i Seriously Wounded by Negro Em* i ployees on His Plantation at Turner, Aiken County. A Lynching is Feared. The Augusta Herald says according to numerous reports received in Au gusta Monday morning a race riot wav started at Turner, S. O., a small settlement In Aiken oouuty, Sunday night in which a prominent farmer was kill ed, his son seriously mounded and three negroes either killed or wounded. The death and Injury of the two"white men has been conllrmed and the sheriff of Aiken couuty wired to from Turner to come at or.ee and organize a posse aue inrormatton received from the vicinity of Turner -which has no tele phone or telegraph connection?Is that J. B. McLane, better known as Bur rell McLane, the largest planter In the little settlement, was shot to death by Dave Gatdenhelgh and his son, both negroes, while one of Mr. Mo Lane's sous was severely wounded hav lng the whole back of ono l^g shot away. A party of some T5 or 100 men was formed and started In search of the negroes, who made their escape, with the determination to lynch them. Telephone communication with the ollioe of Sheriff ltalnborn, of Aiken, is t\/? t".hn ofTA/?i * ?1 1 * w vuv ouu yu Liiai sonuuM Lrouoie nan been reported there, but none of the details given. Monday morning Sheriff ltalnborn received a telegram urging him to come to Elleuton at once and organize a posse to scour the country. The sheriff left Immediately for Au ifusta to take the 2:25 train from there to Edenton, the nearest station to Turner. The story, as gathered from various sources over the telephone, In the vicinity of Turner, and from pavseng ers coming to Augusta on the morning train, Is that the negro Gardenheigh, who lives on the MoLane place, had stolen a child from a negro wo man living on a ncigborlng place and was ordered by Mr. MoLane to return it, but did not do so. Sunday after noon Mr. McLanc went to the negro and ordered him to take the child back or he would have It taken away from the negro. At this point the information obtainable is rather meagre, hut to the effect that there were words between the employe*and the negro emplo and later In the afternoon Mr. Mc Lane and his son?which one of'^e three sons cannot bo learned -went the hous3 of the negro to see that the order had been carried out. They found several other negroes at the place. It seems that an altercation was started by tin negroes, when Gardenheigh and his am rushed upon Mr. MoLane and Ills son, both of them llrlng a load of shot into the elder Mr. MeLino, killing him instantly. 'IUiq nnnnnaii V*,.T , *' "?J jwuiiKt.i muijouo l/iifll until upon, the calf of his leg being shot away, but who 'Jred the shot is not known. From reports It appears that the two white men tired upon the negroes, killing or.e of them and wounding three others, but It appears that the elder Gardenheigh made hl> escape with some of his companions and It is for them that the party of white people are searching with the determination of carrying out a lynching bee. ?_^t appears from the report received in Aiken that excitement is running high throughout the community and further trouble is feared from the negroes. Coroner Owens, of Aiken, called at The Herald otllce Monday afternoon to get some information bearing on the riot. He said the only information SherllT Rainborn has is a telegram asking that the sherltT and coroner come at once to Turner, stating that liurrell McLane had been killed in a riot and the whole white community is in arms. Mr. Owens says SherltT K&lborn is taking a possi of half a dozen men from Aiken with him. A DIKFKUKNT STOllY. r\ A dispatch from Aiken puts a new ^ phase on the aiTalr near Ellenton Sun "day. The coroner's Inquest over the body of Ilurrell McClalue, who was shot by Dave Oirdoobler, brought O'lV --efact that McClalne went armed *4 without warrant to the negro's MIC and demanded to be given the /wf in dispute. Gardcnhier refused 1 ^ une demand and McClalne shot Into the house. The i.egro returned the lire, kilkd McClaino and Injured others. It is expected that Garden hler will surrender to the sherltT of Aiken county. Death of an Editor. Berlah Wilklns, owner and publisher of the Washington Post and formerly representative in congress from Ohio, died suddenly Wednesday of heart failure at ids residence In Wash^|j)Kton, D. 0. Since he suffered a loke of Daralvsis two vears ai/o ?^nlle on a visit to New York, Mr. m^^^wllklns had given his entire attention to the reoovery of his health. He had not been con lined to his bed for some months and no immediate anticipation of his serious condition was entertained. lnacotH Kill Little Boy. At Atlanta, Ga , a mosquito bite received several weeks ago, has resulted In the death of little Robert Lamar Galssert, one-year-old son of R. L. Gaissert, who resides at Knott's crossing, on the East Point road. The Insect bit the child upon the tender llesh of the left cheek. At tlrst only a small spot, such as usually appears in such cases, was visible upon the ohlld's face. After a short time, however, the place became inflamed and began to swell linally developing into a running sore. Though every effort was made to heal the peculiar a miction, each of the remedies failed to bring about the desired result. ^ Murdered Two OirlN. S A.dv,?iui* murder and suioide occur,53d albout a mile from Illllsboro, Ohio, , Sunday night at the home of Edward >1- Dines, a farmer In that county. Dlnes's v- daughter Madge, 14 years of age, and a young woman named Nettie Hart, who was staying with her, were shot J and killed by David Baldwin, a farmhand, who then committed suicide. He \ killed the girls with & revolver belongP ing to his employer and used Dlnes's f ^shotgun to kill himself. Keisrs Jaudon and Bond Have a Hew ^ Cotton Picker latent* Have boon Heoureil and a A Working Model Made Which I)oe? all that la Claimed The News and Courier says after jlght months' of experimentation, al teratlon and Investigation, Messrs J. 'J. Jaudon and S. L. Bond, of Charles- ^ ton, have perfected and patented a cot- * ton picker which, they believe, will b make the picking of ootton by hand, a 0 thing of the past. The machine has * Just recently been oompleted, and after r\ securing the patent papers from the n Government offices, the picker has been exhibited to a number of friends, most ? of whom believe that Messrs Jaudon ( and Bond have a good thing. The machine is a one man atfalr. a One laborer, not necessarily a very in- ^ telllgent laborer either, can operate ( the machine. There are no compllca ( ted cogs, delicate maohanlsm or tiny t tiolts and wheels to snap at the tlrst ( heavy strain?In fact, the remarkable ( simplicity of construction and ease of t peratlon are two of the most striking fcaturisof the picker. There have been cotton pickers and cotton pickers, but most of them were huge, cumbersome allalrs, requiring many men to (operate and costing a t small fortune. For some of them, cotton had to grow In very precise and ( straight rows and others not only f picked the cotton which was open, but snapped olf green bolls and all and j mashed the whole into a mince pie. ( The Jaudon-Bond machine Is different. In appearance it reminds one ' strongly of a rapid tire gun. The sim- ( pi lei ty of the thing strikes one at tlrst glance. The picker Is mounted on J three wheels, like a tricycle, and the | two larger wheels are close together , so Ltiai tnoy cm easily be pushed be- , twecn rows of cotton without injury to growing plants. Between the two , wheels is suspended a sack, and over the mouth of the sack opens a long | hollow cylinder. At the end of this cylluder, are two short cylinders, fitted with teeth, and as one turns a crank, these two cylinders revolve, catching the fibre of the cotton and depositing it in the long cylinder, whence it is carried to the sack by a narrow belt. The opera tion of the crank runs the two picking cylinders and the conveying belt. There is nothing to get out of order or to mystify the operator, and tiny delicate wheels and complicated joints . and cranks arc conspicuous by their absence. Nbsirs. Jaudon and Bond are conti 1 dent that they have at last solved the cotton picking problem and while they are aware of the fact that hundreds of . other inventors have failed to perfect a satisfactory machine, they are eager- . ly awaiting the cotton season, so that the machine can be given a practical test, and are convinced that It will do the work. Planters have Irecome somewhat ^ wary of cotton picking machines, and, in the language of the street, all of , them are from Missouri and have to 1 be shown. If the machine will do the J work of live or six men, at the ex pense of one, the Charleston men have .r, a good thing. If the machine will ~ pick five or six hunddred pounds per day, they will have little trouble in v selling the machines. Mr. Jaudon said Saturday that he had received a number of letters and ^ inquiries relative to the machine, but Hnau nnf cmom *-~ - * ,A- ' vva iiu u ailAlUUI) UU UiapUMU UI 111* A number of farmers and planters bave seen the machine and have examined it when in operatiou, and all c{ agree that it is a good thing. ' THE YELLOW PERIL. c f Wo Aro P?oo to Faoo With It, Haya t e One ol ltooscvelt'ii Cabinet. { a Notwithstanding the opinion ex a pre>s^d by some newspapers and peo s pie that no sane man would enter- \ tain for a moment the thought that t the suscess of Japan in the present a war with Russia would prove a menace t to the other nations of the world, t many more or less sane people are en- \ tertaining that very thought at this ?

UMIUIUJUIC O LI LI I Hays a member of President Roose- I velt's cabinet made the significant re- I mark that "we are face to face with the yellow p8rll," when he had finished reading the full reports of the victory of the Japanese lleet over the -Russian fleet. The Sun went on to say that "while It is not thought for an instant that there is any immediate danger of war or difficulties of any kind between the United States and Japan because of the latter's undoubted prestige in the far Eist, from the trend of the talk among prominent members of the administration it was evident that the idea expressed so cogently by the member of the cabinet exist in many minds, and In military circles it is now recognized that hereafter the United States will have to take Japan seriously into account as a competitor for the supremacy of the Pacitlo ocean, which has been sometimes facetiously referred to as an Amerioan lake. Ja pan has now a much more powerful naval force on the Pacific and, it is hhouuht nnulH obbIIu t.ol/o x>w?u??. 1 W7 14.V* VWJII/ vt*nv l/IIO A 1-1111 pine Islands from this country." The people who are talking this 1 way may not be sane, but they are a talking good, bard sense, all the same, I which will be proven iurthe next ten 1 years or earlier. Anoihsfr paper says f a famous Ameican admiral In talking 6 to a newspaper correspondent last c week in Washington made the remark t that before many years A merica would v have to tight Japan, as her success a over Russia would completely "turn 0 the heads of the Raid, conservative a Jap and he will go a- good many steps further than otherwise would have been the case." , The old admiral further said that t he was "afraid that the ambitions of ,, the Japanese will spread at aserlously rapid rate and that they may next take some steps in China that will not w meet with the good opinion of the * rest of the world, which will then be- * gin to open its eyes to the faot that it ~ has been placing its sympathy with a ^ mighty wary lot of pedplig." This old admiral may not be sane, but he talks a powerful lot of hard, oommon sense, as time will show.

In fact the num- 1 or of visitors was so large that It was , Imost Impossible for all to secure ac mmodatlons. Eioh year the atten moe upon commence ment grows lar- i r, and it was said by many that the rowd this year < xond d all others. It was an inspiring scene us the grad ruing class marched Into the auditoiura and took their places on throat row of seats. They were fol jwed by the faoulty, head* d by Pre-1 ent Mell, with Dr. 11. N. Snyd* r he orator of the day, the board of rustets bringing up the rear, taking heir places on the platform. The dosing day's exercises of commence nent were opened with prayer by it-v. B. U. Turnlpseed, pasior of the dcthodist church of Aikeu, one of ho first graduates of (Jlemson coll ge .od the first to enter the minstty rhe programrao was interspersed wit uus'c by the college orohostra.

Then came Lester Ernst B >ykln, who discussed "The Law f Trial by Impeachment." These iddresses showed much thought and preparation and were well delivered, as was evidenced by the generous ap plause of the audience. Briifly, Dr. Mell introduced Dr. II. N. Snyder, president of Wutlord college, who said he was pleased to come to "the lair r?f t.ho I'lunr " In speaking to the graduating class Dr. Snyder discussed ' The Chivalry )t a Democracy," mentioning William II. Baldwin as a good example. He began with the knight errant of ancient times and came on down to die present day, saylDg the knight errant of the new age is the "worker." As an illustration of what honesty, common sense and integrity will ac c.implish, the speaker thrilled his auditors with the story of the life of Abraham Lincoln, lie told how die young backwoodsman, sitting before the tirellght of his log cabin home, was to be seen reading his books and tigurlng and building the foundation for one of the greatest minds of his age; how, when he wanted to go to the State legislature, his friends, said, "Well we will vote for him because tie is honest," and he was elected. Serving his district faithfully, he sought a seat in congress. But he did not go about making speeches on the tariff and other questions which lie knew nothing of and tils constituents less. One day as he passed a neighboring farm he saw men cutting grass but they were not making much headway. Grasping the implement of one of them lie said, "Follow me and I will show you how to cut grass." And he wielded the great knife as only one with such strong arms could. When flection day came the voters said, "Well, we will vote for the man who can do somethlug, who does things," and he was elected to congress. Then t ame the black clouds of war and the people again looked about for an honest man to lead them. They decided it was Abraham Lincoln and tie was elected. Tills humble backwoodsman of humble birth rose from the lowliest p >sition to the highest in ihe gift of man?president of the United States. The speaker closed his magnificent address with these words of admonition: "May 'Duty' be the mofo of the class of 1906 of Clemson college."

J?|)*n Is Hardly Deserving of tier Spurn hy ItUHsia's Defeat. In the estimation of some news pipers the Japanese are the greatest p-ople on the face of the earth. Tills absurd opinion is based on I lie fact that they have whipped the Russians in several nav.il battles and in several land battl s. The Russians may have been a great people once, but 1 that day has departed, and Japan is making a reputation at Russia's ex ; pense at a very small cost. As we view ; the events that have happened since i the war began they reveal to us more ' the decadence of Russia than the progress of Japan. The Russians have blundered in everything they have at trmpted since the war bewail. In the tirst place they were not at all prepar d for war either at home or the Far East. Just previous to and since the war began they have shown great lack of common senee in the m magomen of the navy and the army. When the first cowardly attack wa made bv the Japanese on the Russian at Port Arthur t ie Rnsd ins had r tine llee* of war vess l-? in the Easter waters, a>d they would iiave done go r i rvlc had they been properly manne* and intelligently us d Instead of thb b> log done, the 11 ft was devldei in and stationed a', different pi toes, and what wav a p iwerfu. il et wiien unit v<i became an ?a<v prey to the enemy i I s fragment.?r\ conditio n The lai k of intelligent dlrecdon of t e il et an a my in th Fa Eis in the tirst fe w iks<e the war a-caused all of Ru sia's later dlsast'rs, bee use to t hlu d rs destroyed the morale of I' rank and tile of the arm aril navy This blunder in the disposition and management of the ilaet at the op n ing of the war, iias been followed u by otlier blunders of the leaders o' the army and navy until now tl?. lighting men have no c iiitidenco in their officers. Those who are in position to kno say that Russia's army and nava management is notoriously corrupt and incompe'ent. Mailt ns of dollar appropriated by the g< v.;rnment for the purchaHe of guns. ammunition and supplies for the army and nivy have been worst than thrown away In the purohase of inferior goods that are of no service, and the difference In price of these inferior goods and the i first olass goods the government ap- J propriated the money to buy went 1 Into the pockets of the thieving gov \ arnment officials who purchased the supplies. Instead of entrusting the management of her affairs to men who have brains, Russia has pushed to ^ the front and entrusted with leadership & lot of so called noblemen, who Tj sire noted only for their incompetency, J ind whose chief aim in life seams to ae to rob the government and live ifes of ease and debauchery. ^ If we Judge them by their record ^ n the past we are compelled to ad- ^ nit that the Russian soldiers and sea- ^ nan are brave men, hut it seems that ihey lack discipline and leadarship, ind consequently are easily demoral / zed. On no other ground can the _ joor showing made by the Russian ^ leet in the late battle he accounted pa or. With so large a fleet of modern ft var vessels it is hard to account for th ,he small damage done to the Japan- ci se except on the theory that the Rus- r lans were either fcired to death or In ^ i state of panic, The condition of the Russians soon became evident to the g* laps, and they pressed on, and soon th iad the Russians fleeing in every dl- ** eotlon.
