Shooting Affray In Aiken.

AIKEN, Oct. 21.-Mr.. Ben Tyler, a
well known farmer of the Levels Sec
ton, had narrow escape from be-
ing killed by one of his farm hands
on Friday afternoon. MIR. Tyler was
in his cotton field weighing the cotton
which about 80 negroes had picked
that day. One of the hands disputed
Mr. Tyler's figures and while the two
were arguing the matter another ne
GRO who had no interest in the mat
ter slipped up behind Mr.. Tyler, and
reaching around his neck, cut him
with a pocket knife. The knife
missed Mr.. Tyler's throat, but a long
cash was cut in his cheek. Mr.. Iy-
Ter at once ran to negro boy, with
whom he had left his revolver and
getting the weapon he turned upon
his assailant and fired three times at
him. At the third shot some one
Knocked up Mr.. Tyler's arm and the
other negroes overpowered him and
dragged him off. Mr.. Tyler later
broke loose from those who were
holding him and ran back to the ne
gro. But he found that the negro
was shot through the stomach and
began begging for mercy. MIR. Ty-
Ter did not shoot him again and sent
the man home in a wagon.
Mr.. Tyler's wound is not serious.
The negro is said to be badly wound
ed and may die.

Race Suicide in the Middle Class.

''The sociologists lay the charge OF
race suicide at the doors of the multi
millionaires, writes Anna Steese
Richardson in an article on Them
fiuence of the Business Woman on
Home Life,' in the November Wo-
mans Home Companion. ''Why do
they not investigate the family con-
ditions in the great middle class,
from which are drawn our most sue
cessful women? Here they will find
the great source of danger to the
PRONUNCIATION of the human race.
s'To-d day 1T is the young women
and the mature women the mid
die class who are turning their backs
on the home wherein lies Americas
hope of future greatness. And for
what? To exchange the birthright
of womanhood, wifehood and mother
hood for the mess of pottage known
as a business career. Therein lies
the nations greatest menace race

TO WED AGAIN.
VIII Hiss Anna Gould Marry Another
French Rake?

NEW YORK, October 23.-Is Anna
Gould going to marry the greatest
rake in France?
Cable dispatches received today
say Paris is convinced Prince DeSa-
gan has won the heart of the Ameri-
can heiress who cast off Count Boni
de Castellane.
The prince is a constant visitor at
Nine. Gould's chateau, and is paying
vigorous court.
When asked by a friend about the
rumors that she is to marry Prince
DeSagan, the countess is reported to
have said:
81 am not going to jeopardize my
freedom again. Once was enough for
me, thank you.
Still Paris is convinced that the
marriage is going to take place and
that it would be off with the old rake
and on with the new. 1t is even re-
ported that the marriage will occur
very shortly in the English capital.

DID NOT OBEY ORDER.
Railroad Commissioners Discuss Re-
laying of Tracks.

COLUMBIA, October 23.-The fall
sure of the Southern Railway to relay
it's tracks on several lines in this
State by October 1st, as ordered by
the railroad commission some months
ago, precipitated a warm discussion
among the members of the commits
sion at the regular weekly meeting.
General Manager Ackert of the
Southern was notified to appear be-
fore the commission on November
25th and show cause why the order
of the commission has not been COM
piled with.
The order in question, which was
issued several months ago, provided
that by the first of this month the
Southern should relay with heavier
rails the Columbia and Greenville,
Augusta and Columbia, and Colum-
bia and Spartanburg branches. 1t is
understood that some of this work
has been done, but only a small
portion and that the railroad authorl-
ties claim it is physically impossible
to comply with the order literally,
though they are said to be endeavor-
ing to comply as far as possible.

Paying Impudence.

sI know impudence pays" said
Gillian, the Humorist, in the Chica-
90 office of thismagazine, a few days
ago. ''It pays the other fellow,
though. For instance, the impudence
of a negro waiter in Northwestern
dining car a few days since paid my
family and me very well.
'This was a white Negro, and ne
was impudent. I hate tipping, any
way, and I make it a cast-iron rule
Lip, no tip l visited my terrible
revenge on this particular waiter
Though he was a by no means partlc-
ular waiter), by counting out the ex-
act change. AS I arose with my lit
tie two-year-old Billy girl on my arm
(Mrs. Gillian had gone earlier to get
our suit-cases, etc., ready to get off
the train) the waiter Kissed after me,
you cheap ~ !!
didn't turn, though l was supposed
to be the crushed worm. | saw that
the dining car conductor at the other
end of the car had heard Mr.. White
nigger's benediction, and asked said
conductor: Did you hear what he
said?' Yes he replied through
white lips. I heard what he said,
and I'll fix him right now. You
should have set that child down and
killed him In his tracks. Send the
train conductor to me and We'll dis
pose of him at once.
"Well the white colored man was
put off the train at DeKalb. But how
it paid me does not yet appear You
see the family and l were returning
from California, and we had tickets
to Chicago. The conductor hadn't
seen his way clear to stop the three
hour-late limited at Oak Park to let
us off, and had told us we'd have to
go clear to Kedzie avenue. But at.
ter the waiter had called me out O.
me name,' the same conductor came
to me and said, Aren't you the man
who wanted to get eff at Oak Park?'
Guilty. WELL said he, you may do
so. You may get off at any tele-
graph pole on the line, after having
such treatment as that on one Of our
trains And we>did get off OF the
limited, at Oak Park, on Chicago
tickets. Which shows that impudence
pays-the person who doesn't useit.

Academy Of Music.

Virginia Harmed, in dramatic version OF
"Anna Karenina," will be the attraction at the
Academy of Music, Baltimore, for one week
beginning tomorrow night. 1t is surprising
thing that Count Tolstoy's greatest novel has
never before been successfully dramatlzed.
This latest tootlight version in i've act and
seven scenes by the celebrated French play
wright Edmond Guiraud, was the sensational
success of last season in Paris, and Miss
Harmed duplicated that triumph at the Herald
Square Theatre, New York: this fall. Miss
Harmed will be supported by Robert Warwick,
who will be seen as Vronsky. Other proml-
nent members of the cast are Andrew Robson,
Albert Gran, Ann Warrington, George
Riddell, Frank Davis, Foster Williams, aud
John Mackin.
This love romance CT Ann and Vronsky
is said to be most powerfully portrayed IN a
series of highly dramatic situations. Virginia
Harmed has enacted many highly emotional
roles such as Camille and Iris, but she has
the browning opportunity of her career as the
French critics have termed the "Russian
Frou- Frou." The play is heart touching
triumph of our soul revelation. While 1t
points to moral of the opposition of duty to
passion, nevertheless, the playwright mas
managed with consummnate skill to retain
his own, as well as the playgoer' respect, Tor
the unhappy woman who paid such tragic
price in the end for her brief hour of happi.
ness. 1t is play that will appeal to all
women.
The production is unusually elaborate and
the final scene, which shows an express
train laundering across the stage, Is SAID TO
be one of the most realistic sences ever
shown in the theatre.

In the evening the Blue Mountain Rul.

work, the far famed Ladies Degree Team,
which visited this city May g last, giving its
work in the excellent manner for which 1t is
noted. The Mems Degree Team also did

tain Ruling, made an address of welcome to
the visitors. which was responded to By Vice
Ruler II. P. Gorsuch of Westminster railing.
Other talks were made by Mr.. ]. McCune,

Diversified Farming And Market
Conditions Generally.
Remarked for the DemOcratic Advocate.

Reported for the Democratic Advocate.
The Farmers of Carroll and Howard coun.
ties are realizing more and more each year
that there is money in other crops besides
wheat and corn Diversified farming Is
better for The land and more profitable to the
producer.
Wade h. D. War6eld Co., at Sykesville.
Nd, have shipped 1000 bbls. of apples this
season and over 5000 bus. of potatoes, hay
and straw.-making a speciality Of straight
rye straw for manufacturing purposes, which
they have shipped as far as the Pacific Coast.
Farming is profitable on the present basis
and the indications are for continued good
prices for this years crop.
The wheat market has been depressed on
account of financial conditions, which con-
ditiong haye greatly improved the last few
days and which has already shown its effect
in better prices. Wheat is worth dollar
bushel and with little patience this price
can be realized. New corn is yet very green
and many buyers are holding off, week of
cold and windy weather will greatly improve
the condition.
The hay trade is waiting expecting to buy
cheaper. The present prices are not high
and should hold for the balance of this year.
Maryland has large crop of hay this season
and of better grade than usual.

The Associate Judgeship.

It is expected that Governor Warfeld
will name successor to Associate Judge
Vim. III. Thomas in the near future, as
Judge Thomas will take his place On the
bench of the Court of Appeals in short
time
In making his selection the Governor is
restricted by the Constitution to Carroll
and Howard counties, and many well in
formed people believe that he will choose
some member of the Westminster Bar,
owing to the fact that the business of this
county is much greater than that of How
ard. In fact it is understood that strong
request will be made to his Excellency to
give the position about to become vacant
to this county, for the reason given above
as we'll as for other reasons which 1t Is not
necessary to mention here.
In selecting successor to Judge Thomas
from Carroll county the Governor will have
no difficulty whatever in finding a man fit
and duly qualified for the place. The Bar
here is rich in judicial timber, and he
will not be far out of the way, no matter
whom he places on the bench.

DR.. Herring.

The people Of Carroll County are justly
proud of DR.. Herring, and are especially
pleased at the fact that he was for the
third time elected Comptroller of the State
Treasury by plurality Of nearly Is, 900.
In receiving this almost phenomenal plu-
raiity DR.. Herring has reversed the usual
order Of politics, for it generally happens
that when a man runs for the same office
several times, he gets smaller and smaller
majority every time. That DIR. Herring
was elected by such a majority to an Office
which he had already held for four years
is an emphatic tribute to him by the people
Of the State 1t is a tribute to him as a
man and as an official which is beyond all
price, and no more fattering compliment
has eyer been paid to any citizen Of the
State. Carroll County takes off its hat to
the venerable Doctor, and returns thanks
to the people of the State for the honor
conferred on it through one of its most
distinguished sons.

The Vote for Governor.

An ingenious effort is being made by the
same enemies of Judge Crothers who at
tackled him so bitterly during the cam
paign, to show BY the returns In certain
Baltimore city wards that the head OF the
Democratic ticket really ran some thousand
votes behind his running mates In the
election on November 9Th. The figures
in the city wards are cited to prove that
Judge Crothers was heavily cut BY the
Independent vote of Baltimore, that Ger
tain considerable proportion Of the negroes,
as has been claimed, did not vote for MIR.
Gather and for none else, and inferential-
", in consequence, that this particular
arch-enemy really did, by its campaign OF
vilifcatioD, influence some two or three
thousand votes. 1t is taking all the COM
fort il can. in other wards, from the sit
uation.
The figures may be correct but they ez-
plain nothing. DR.. Herring, Mr.. Straus
and Mr.. Magruder did each get majority,
between FIVE and six thousand votes greater
than Judge Crothers' but the fact remains
that the Judge got 1O2, 900 votes, while
his nearest running mate polled but 100,
900, that is, he personally led his ticket
BY 1000 votes, fact which this inter
ested analyst strangely ignores.
Now if Judge Crothers was cut By In
dependents, who made up, not only the
difference of this independent cut, but the
further difference Of the 1000 votes By
which he led? Certainly all admit that
DIR. Herring polled practically the full
Democratic vote. If the negroes were
not responsible for Mr. Gather run,
nearly IA, 900 ahead Of the nearest mate,
is it not probable that the same influence
which induced So called independent Demo
Gratis to cnt the head of the Democratic
ticket. SO Disguised sufi GENTLY greater
number of right thinking people that Re,
publican lines were thrown down with tbi:
result? The claim was freely made before
the election BY friends Of Judge Crothers,
that this would be the case, and that righ
thinking men, regardless of party, would
censure such methods by their votes. The
Gather hackers seem themselves partly II
admit such a conclusion.
