THROWN INTO CROWD AT DARK
Especial Dispatch to The Times.)

a-
ASHLAND, VA, Aug. SO.-Among the
younger element of whites and blacks for
the past two or three weeks there has
been much bad feeling existing. and as
a result several rock battles have taken
place.
The trouble started with a row between
Wexford Trevillian, son of Town Sergeant
L. B. Trevillian, and Walter Latney (col-
ored). son Of Solomon Latney. the town
scavenger. AS young Trevi!lian was
passing up the street one night recently
Latney applied to him a very offensive
epithet whereupon he and Trevillian be-
c;me involved in fistcuff Several by
ISLANDERS of both races also took part.
Ti,c matter was quieted for the time by
the arrest of Latney, who was taken to
the town Jail.
A ROCK BATTLE
The next night a rock battle took place
on Railroad Street between those who
had participated the night before, but no
one was wounded.
Last night about Q o'clock as a crowd
of young white men We're standing in
front of the pGstoffice some unknown ras-
cal, supposedly a negro, threw a. huge
stone into the crowd. striking Mr.. Rich
ard F. Bierne on the back. of the head.
Ar ugly scalp wound was made and
blood therefrom flowed freely. Although
the blow considerably dazed him, and
while blood was yet trickiing down his
collar. Mr.. Berne showed great pluck in
assisting in search of a half-hour or
more for the coward, who from dark
corner had thrown the rock. If the
scouudrel had been caught he would
doubtless have been dealt with quite Sc
verely. The wound was dressed by DR..
J. Wood Jordan, who found it necessary
10 make a half-dozen stitches in the
scalp.
Tonight Mr.. Bierne is resting easily

THE AFT AIR Of
BUN K z r tn z
BOOKK z z Pc z

THE boys in the brokers' Office
always had made a butt of
Bunker. Bunker was the bookkeep-
er, taciturn and rather solemn-look-
ing at all times. The boys called
him "the old man." Bunker was 40
and ''the boys" were Fl or there
abouts. All sorts of jokes were
played on old Bunker, but he never
showed the slightest sign of resent
ment. If any of the shafts of weak
witticisms which were hurled at him
day in and day out pricked there
was no wincing. The cubs finally
came to the conclusion that Bunker
was dense physically and mentally.
How this may have been nobody per-
haps but Bunker knew definitely, but
he was good bookkeeper, and that
was as far as the real old man of the
office cared to inquire.
Teddy Long, the office masher,
who wore patent feathers from
Christmas to Christmas, and knew
all the latest things in fancy vests
and flowing ties, used to say that il
a woman should speak to Bunker the
old man would fall dead. When it
happened on rare occasions that a
woman would drop into the Office
to make an inquiry, about something
Bunker would send one of the boys
to answer her questions. Once or

WOOD FOR THE STOVE.
Many n Tired Farm Wife Is Conn
PEELED to Do Her Cooking Under
Trying Conditions.

Nothing is more exasperating to
woman than burning wet, soggy
wood. On a cold morning to have
the house filled with smoke instead
of heat sets all things wrong Then
many loaf of bread is indigestible
and unwholesome because the wood
was green and wouldn't enable the
cook to control the heat of the oven,
giving too slow a fire, and then,
when not required, too hot fire.
These are phases of burning green
wood with which the most of the
farmers wives are only too IA
miliar.
Green wood is so per cent. heavier
than dry wood because of the excess
of moisture. This of course increases
the expense of hauling, if green
rather than dry wood is used, for
only half as much of the green wood
can be hauled on load as of dry
wood. Don't argue that the horses,
boys and yourself are not very busy
and your time and labor don't count.
Such logic added to rooms filed
with smoke is what will leave you in
old age alone on the farm. Time
and muscles are many times the
farmers only capital and should
never be unwisely expended.
Then, aside from increased expense
in hauling, so per cent. of the heat
is consumed in evaporating the wa
ter in the green wood. Now figure
how much more swinging of the ak
is necessary if you have provided
green wood for fuel this winter. 1t
takes good business push and
knowledge of farm economics to cut
wood and cord it up to dry out for
another seasons use. This is an
other evidence that energy and
knowledge are as large factors in
success on the farm as in other lines.

GA Lot o. AIR"

The inhabitants of the little town
of Somersby, in England, where Ten

their opinion of their distinguished

thus related her impressions of the

PROPERLY PACKED ICE.

saw manipulation may be. On this ac-
count we put in one layer, fit closely
as possible, then shave over the upper
surface of all the cakes with a car
penter's ADJ. The shavings of ice are
swept into the crevices between cakes.
When freezing cold, a little water is
sprinkled over the whole surface to
cement the Layer solidly together.
AS each layer is completed the saw
dust should be filed in around the sides
level with the top and solidly tamped
down. Allow no sawdust to remain
on top of the various layers until the
icehouse is filled. The figure shows the
sixth layer in and ready for the saw
dust. Ice is preserved by being packed
away from the air. AS hot weather
comes on the ice will settle some. Be
sure to keep the sawdust tamped down
around the sides frequently during
early summer and see that no air holes
form.
When the ice is all packed in, cover
with 10 to Is inches of sawdust. Leave
the gables open more or less to allow
free circulation of air over the ice. [
hope that this description, with sketch,
of our own successful harvesting and
storing of ice in a cheap pole frame
icehouse will encourage many farmers
to decide to have some ice next season,
and may they thoroughly enjoy for the
first time the cooling benefits which
accrue to the fortunate possessors of
the CONCEALED fluid

Pure Ice ON the Farm.

The farmer who has a good well
and windmill, should not depend on a
creek or pond filed from water
drained off the surface of the
ground. This can never be perfect
w pure and is liable to be source
of danger. Water is never purified
by freezing. It will require but lit
tie labor to scoop out depression
with surface enough to furnish ice
for the average farm family, and the
satisfaction of having pure ice is
more than recompense for the la
Dor involved.-Farm Journal.

twice the cubs succeeded in getting
Bunker himself to wait upon the fe-
male visitor, and then they lay back,
metaphorically speaking, and enjoyed
themselves hearing the old man slut
ter and stammer and in seeing him
blush rosy red while trying to an
swer the fair visitors queries. They
came to the conclusion in the office
that Bunker was not woman hater
simply because it wasn't in his dis
position to hate anything or any
body. They put it down that with
him it was a plain case of just wom-
an scared.
The office was on the twelfth floor,
and it's windows looked out over the
roof of low building just beyond.
Teddy Long had desk at one win
dow. Teddy frequently was more
occupied with the office behind the
windows in the twelfth story of the
building beyond than he was with
the business in his own office. It
was a law firm that held the prem
Uses opposite, and the lawyers were
known to the boys in the brokers'
office for the frequency with which
they changed their typewriting staff.
About once a month a new face, and
always a pretty one, would appear
in front of the machine back of the
legal windows. One morning Teddy
Long cast his eyes across the way,
and there he saw a new face behind
the big window pane. AS he told the
other boys a few minutes after, this
new face had all the others that had
gone before "beat to death"
'She's daisy, fellows" said Teddy.
"When you get a chance go to the
window and shy look over there.
She's got black hair, swapping eyes,
red cheeks and a daisy figure"
Distant inspection by the other
young members of the brokers' staff
fully confirmed Teddy's opinion of
the new arrival. The next morning
Teddy sat at his desk biting the end
of a pencil and stroBing his upper lip
where there was just the faintest
Substance of things hoped for, the
evidence of things not seem" Teddy
had been casting languishing glances
in the direction of the typewriting
charmer in the lawyers office. He
knew she had seen him, but as far
as any evidence that she cared to
pay any attention to him was con-
cerned the girl might have been
stone wall. Teddy was nettled.
Things had been easy for him at
other times. and his bump of conceit
now had a dent in it. JOY! All at
once the charmer looked up and
smiled, showing a set of even white
teeth in a framework of scarlet
Teddy smiled back and nodded al
most imperceptibly. There was a
very decided bow in return, and
Teddy went soaring. Instantly, how
ever, the young woman turned again
TO her machine and her white fin
gers went flying nimbly over the
keys. Though she might be a bit
given to flirting, the young woman
apparently did not mean that the
little weakness should divert her
mind too long from her work.

A STRUGGLE EXPECTED.
Difference Between Senate and House
Philippine Bills.

An interesting struggle 5et|-ec-: the House
and the Senate is expected over the Philip
pine bill The Senate has passed one meas
ure embodying it's ideas for the government
of the Philippine Islands and the House
committee on insular affairs has reported
another bill providing plan different in
many respects from the Senate scheme.
/, is the impression in the House that the
committee on insular affairs will consider
the Senate bill and will recommend to the
House the substitution of the House bill
for-it. 1t is thought that the House will
pass it's own bill as substitute and the
subject will then go into conference be-
tween the two bodies for final shaping.
Two essential points of difference between
the House and Senate relate to the form IF
government and to the financial question.
The Senate bill provided a Philippine silver
dollar and the House bill establishes the
gold standard which prevails in the United
States. The Senate bill proposes to govern
the islands under the Taft commission and
the House bill authorizes a broader form of
civil government, with a legislature. the
lower branch of which Is to be elected.
No one thinks that Philippine legislation
viii fail as the result Of the differences ex
listing between the House and the Senac',
but the House Is inclined to think that its
bill Is the better Of the two. 1t was pre-
pared after very careful consideration by
the com mittee on insular affairs. which Is
composed of men who are among the repu''
Hcan leaders of the House, including
