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 *

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.

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- '

A number of farmers and planters

it when in operatiou, and all c{
agree that it is a good thing. '
THE YELLOW PERIL. c

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 ?
Dart.ioillrtr t,lmo Tbn RalHr?.n.? O..

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

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. We believe that a
the United States and Japan will o
clash Just as soon as Japan recovers ji
from the war she Is now fighting. r<
They are an ambitious and conceited o,
people, and they will not be satisfied v
until thev try conclusions with the \\

x>ld the following, declaring that <
William Allen White was the hero of i
ihe story. One day there strolled into <
White's sanctum a man who was evilently
a politician. lie edged conti I
ientially towards White and, slipping I
i memorandum written by himself
inier the eyes of the editor, said;
"Say, old man, I'd take it to be a 1

And the eminent Kansan laid before

)t the three class or itors, who spoke
on "Revolutionary Ru sia." lie was,
ol'owed by Robert Fl* mlng Gooding
>f Falrlield, whose subj ct was "Ar
)ltratiou." 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."

A CHEAP REPUTATION.
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

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. Such a catastrophe could not
