Riot in Aiken County.

Columbia, Special.-A race riot is ii
progress at Bush, in Aiken county, thd
scene of the old Ellenton riots OF the
reconstruction period. So far white
man named Burwell McClain is dead
and his son mortally wounded and two
negroes are dangerously wounded!
These were fired upon from the house
of a negro named Gordon High. Nc
Claim had been deputized to go and
bring negro child to magistrate, the
child being in dispute in case to be
tried before the magistrate. High de-
fed McClain, who was REINFORCED by
his son, and two negroes and High and
his friends fired upon the approach
ing party, with the result that Burwell
was killed and the others wounded.
High then made his escape into the
forest. Other negroes have armed
themselves with Winchesters and shot
guns and declared that they will pro-
tect High, after whom a large and we'll

Railway Rate Legislation.

At the biennial convention OF the
Order of Railway Conductors, recently
held at Portland, Oregon, resolutions
We're unanimously adopted voicing
their sentiments as to the effect Of pro-
posed railway rate legislation on the
10000 railroad employees, whom they
in part represented. These resolutions
endorse the attitude OF President
Roosevelt in condemning secret rebates,
and other illegalities, aud commend the
attitude of the heads OF American rail-
ways, who, With practical unalimity,
have Joined with the President OH this
question:" They then respectfully
point out to Congress the "inadvisabil-
ity of legislation vesting in the hands
of commission power over railway
rates, now lower by far in the United
States than In any other country" be-
cause such regulation would "result in
litigation and confusion and inevitably
lend to an enforced reduction In rates,
irrespective Of the question of the abll-
ity Of the railroads to stand the reduc-
ton, especially in view Of the Increased
cost of their supplies and materials"
They further protested against such
power being given to the present Inter-
state Commission because "thp pro-
posed legislation is not in harmony
with our idea of American jurls.
prudence, inasmuch as it contemplates
that single body shall have the right
to investigate, indict: try, condemn and
then enforce its decisions at the cost
OF the carriers, pending appeal, which
is manifestly ineQuitnb.e."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation, if any, as
would secure and insure justice aud
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation ''is The
result Of the efficiency of American
railway management and operation
which have built up. the country
through constant improvement and de-
yelopment Of territory, willie at the
same time recognition has been given
to the value Of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast to foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claiT against legis-
lation adverse to their interests, they
point out the fact that "the freight
rates Of this country average only two
per cent. of the cost of articles to the
consumer, thus making the freight rate
so Insignificant factor in the selling
price that numerous standard articles
are sold at the same price in all parts
of the country"

confding the opening of peace negotl-

Trees STRANGE Crop.

There is curious sight in the fork
Of an umbrella tree on Washington
street, between Fourth and Fifth ave-
nues. 1t is a fine growth of wheat
almost ready to come out into head.
The stocks are nearly two feet long
and the blades broad and healthy
looking. 1t was at first thought that
this growth consisted of shoots from
the tree, but on closer examination it
was found to be wheat 1t has no
foundation of earth, or if there is any
it is so hidden by the growth as to be
Invisible. The wheat grains in some

Of the bark and have probably had no

by dust which during the dust storms
OF the summer was blown there.-Ari-

proner Wav to Iron Fine Linen.

The doing up of fine underlinen Is
far more important in these days than
ironing shirt, and good living
awaits the woman who cares to learn
this art and practice it in the cities.
When these. articles are washed and
dried, the rufIles and trimming should
be dipped into weak starch, and rolled
down tightly, keeping all starched and
fine portions inside. Iron i'll about an
hour. First of all, iron the sleeves,
then the ruffles at the bottom, then the
back, and finally all the ruffles and
trimming and the front
With skirts, the ruffies first, and
then the body part. Any crimping or
fluting must be done last of all, after
slightly damping the rifles over again.
When ironing circular ruffles always

and the rufIlcs will not sag. For white
skirts and for dresses a skirt board
is a necessity; it should be about Is
inches wide at the bottom and narrow
down toward the tip to about nine
inches. and should be about five or five
