Bloody Battle
Waqed at Windsor

Aiken, March 1O.-Windsor, in this
county, was the scene of q bloody bat
tie last night, in which Hanford Cush.
man was killed and three Others we're
severely wounded by the town officers,
and John Cleckley chief of police, sus.
tained more or less serious injuries.
Cieckley and his assistant, l.. B
johnson, are in the Aiken county Jail
and John DnBose, Smiley Randall and
Jet Atkinson are held in the Windsor
lookup.
The injured are Aleck Nun, shot in
the arm; George Weatherford, shot in
the leg; Sweet Cushman, brother Of
the dead man, shot through the hand.
The fight, which was general, seems
to have grown out of an attempt to
intimidate the officer, John Cleckley,
who was formerly member of the
police force in Aiken, an0sfor the past
year, since Windsor was incorporated
and branch dispensary located there,
has been town marshal Of Windsor.
Threats have been made, it is alleged,
to drive him away from the town be-
cause of his activity in maintaining
law and order, and last night the
trouble began when, between and 9
O'Clock, the officer heard a shot fired
in Jet Atkinson's butcher shop.
Going into the shop Cleckley found
crowd gathered and saw something
clash as it fell into tub of water.
Thinking it was a weapon that some
one had thrown away, he made
search tor it but without success, then
demanded to know who fred the shot.
He arrested Atkinson, whose sons were
present, and it is said, declared that
their father should not be taken into
custody without fight. Outside the
door on the street the fight began as
Cleckley led Atkinson away toward
the town lookup, and no one will ever
know how many shots were fired.
There was fusilade which brought
C]eckley's assistant, L. B. johnson,
to the scene to help his chief, aid an
other fusilade followed, and when the
smoke had cleared away Hauford @.
Cushman, who is familiarly known as
"Son," lsy dead and the others who
were shot were nursing their wounds
The co:nbatants not only used their
guns but brought knives into play,
Cleckley sustaining seYersl severe cuts
in the arm and face and head. he
and his assistant, no wever, made whole
sale arrests, locking John Dubose,
Smiley Randall and Jet Atkinson in
the Windsor Jail before coming to
Aiken, where they are being held
pending all in 7estigation.

TRIALS OF THE PLUTocRATs

The plutocrats seems to have been
having more trouble of late years than
any of us thought Every day adds to
the evidence that they have long been
made to feel that they were not want.
ed in polite society. Last week Mr..
Cortelyou asserted that when he was
chairman Of the Republican National
committee in 1904 and bent on elect
ing Theodore Roosevelt president he
refused to accept a large wad of mon
ey from one of the Tobacco trust mag
mates considering it tainted. Early
this week Mr. Belmont. who was try
ing to elect Judge Parker, also in 1904
told us that he was so anxious that
nothing but good, clean cash should be
expended for this purpose that he re-
turned a chunk of bank notes sent in
by a stakeholder in the Sugar Trust
and put up S250,000 of his own I'M
tainted funds.
Wednesday Mr. Hitchcock, who
managed the job which ended in the
election of Mr. Taft in 1908, told us
that when such a good man as Mr.. du
Pont, Of the state of Delaware,
thought we'll of tine aforemen-
toned Mr.. Taft to send in $4,000 with
expressions of hope that it would be
used to promote the success Of the G.
O. p, it was promptly returned be
cause MI DUPONT was a Powder trust
magnate
one of the gentlemen did drop a
hint however. that many considerable,
sized chunks Of cash were handed in
by women during the several cam
paigns. Can it be possible that some
one tipped the Trust magnates to the
suggestion that the ban against their
cash only extended to the male mem
bers OF the family making the offer

THE BRAIN MARKET

Mr.. b. f. Bush, the kindly remember
ed president of the Western Maryland
railroad, a friend and one of the capa-
bic men of the period, now president
Of the Missouri Pacific, writes the fol-
lowing for a New York Journal:
There is always a market the world
over for brains and ability But brains
and ability are Of little value unless
backed up by hard, honest work and a
sincere determination to succeed. A
college education affords a splendid
mental training but il usually re
quires a period Of practical experience
and diligent application before one be-
gins to realize On it to any great eX-
tent.
The college man who starts his bust
ness career with the idea he learned
all that is necessary to know, rarely,
if ever, accomplishes much, His school
ing has merely laid a foundation for
the construction Of a business Vduca-
tion. If he builds honestly and dill
gently he should in time be able to
attain greater heights than the man
who never had the advantage Of carly
training.
The graduate must make mp his
mind at the outset that ne will abid"
by the discipline Of the business insH-
tuition with which he associates him
self. Because his ranking officer may
not be a college bred man but cue who
has earned his position through long
personal experience the university
graduate must not seek TO impress
him with his own superiority of know
edge This antagonizos the college
mans business associates a. tht out
set and makes his road to success
harder
The particular business or protes-
sion a college man should adopt de-
ponds upon the individual Each man
must learn Tor himself in what direc-
lion his talents and ability lie and So
lecr his calling accordingly 1t is fool-
ish 10 try to make a merchant out of q
man whose bent lies altogether in the
line Of medicine, and just as useless to

cd in his chosen field of oudeayor a

The BIG ISSUE

United States Senator La Toilette,
in the closing chapter of his autobiog-
raphy, which has been running in the
American magazine and to which soon
is to be published in book form, gives
what he considers to be the one big
issue now confronting the American
people. He says
In twenty-five years of political
struggle | have found one great issue
oyershadowing all others-the en-
enactment of the powerful few on
the rights of the many All the issues
OF today are phases of this one great
question. How shall the individual
the farmer, the worker and all those
who pay tribute be set free from the
unjust exactions of the tariff the rail
roads, and other forms Of oppression
by special interests?
when Roosevelt became president
the total stock and bond issues of the
trusts was $3,7S4.000,000 When he
turned the country over to Taft this
total had grown to s31 ,672 ,OOO, 900, sew
enty per cent of which is water"
I'VE people of this country are pay
ing dividends on all this watered
stock, in the form of unnecessarily
high prices for the things we eat, use
