Special to the State.
Aiken, Aug. S.-A committee
representing the Aiken County
Law and Order league called on
the county commissioners ycstcr-
day afternoon in accordance with
the resolution adopted concerning
the carrying of concealed weapons
at the fourth Of July meeting OF
the league. They requested that
the commissioners authorize the
sheriff TO appoint two deputies to
enforce tho law against carrying
concealed weapons. Supervisor
Brodic said that while he was in
hearty sympathy with the league
in this matter, he could take no
steps to grant their request as the
county attorney had informed
him that the commissioners had
no authority to give any such in
structions. Mr.. Gunter promi-
ncnt attorney, who was present,
said that the only way that money
could be obtained to pay extra
deputies would be by an act Of
the legislature.
The committee next called upon
Shcrih Raborn, asking him if he
would appoint two deputies to
enforce the law against carrying
concealed weapons.i If the Law and
Order league would guarantee
the money for the extra salaries.
He said that he would be glad to
do SO and asked the committee TO
suggest the deputies should they
dcclIe to have them appointed.
The committee did nothing fur
ther yesterday, but it is thought
that an eftcrt will be made to Sc
cure an appropriation for the pay
OF the extra deputies at the next
session Of the legislature.

200 to 900 men will comprise one oil
the most distinguished and noteworthy
gatherings Of churchmen ever held il
this country.
In the past the desire for eoopera-
ton on the part of the different Chris
tan churches Of the United States has
found expression in the formation Of
such organizations as the Evangelical
Alliance and in such gatherings as the
Ecumenical Missionary conference OF
1900 in the city of New York. BIZ;
Euch organizations and conferences
were mainly for fellowship rather than
for the purpose of providing practical
and permanent methods for the &C.
complishment Of needed results.
The desire for such unity for prac
teal service led to the formation In
New York city in the winter OF 1900 OF
the National Federation of Churches

tive men from the different churches

SOME LATE DESIGNS.

The little neat turnover collar is AZ
much In style as ever, and differs
hardly at all from those first intro
duced. For mourning wear the plain
null sets are preferred, scrim is used
as formerly and lace sets are much
in fashion.
Neckwear shows some novelties this
season, but one feature is the long
ends, for stocks and ties both. There
are beautiful lace chemisettes and deer
CUTS, often the chemisette IL made tt
wear outside the waist Then the lace
jabot IL back in fashion, and also the
dchu. Sailor collars of lace, these, too
worn with long cuffs, are to be had
and . very pretty, economical mode
it is, one to be recommended; the addi-
ton OF the lace quite transforms a
plain waist, may be used with various
costumes and is more easily cleaned
than silk or satin.
Taffeta stocks with the neat turn.
over collars abound, come in black and
white more commonly. The lay-down
collar, which nevertheless is high, il
pushing forward, and handkerchief ties
in gay colors are considered smart
Wash stocks will continue to be worn
all winter. and will follow much the
same lines as those of taheta.
Crepe dc chine is appearing amongst
neckwear specialties, and We consider
this very appropriate material; it is
washable. and SO soft and pretty. Ties
OF the crepe are shown, and bid fair
to have vogue. We may say, although
most everything goes in neck dressing
that the fluffy, lacey affairs are very
fashionable, that the deep cun and col.
lar are Of latest style. "

The circular skirt is perhaps mos,

French heels viii be seem The but

that for evening clippers black should
be considered most exclusive when
street gowns require colored cloth tops
but this is the tendency 1t the best
places. Black slippers sparkle with

It is from street shoes this exaggerated

Baby shoes on the high sandal order
are very fetching, the ones with many
straps. The little ones usually wear
white stockings and shoes for dress-up
occasions, and the russell shoon do
nicely for general wear. Y. The warm
but shapeless moccasfn is worn with
the first short frocks. For the walking
