TWO FIREMEX KILLER IX BLAZE Explosion and Fire That Follows Spread Death and Ruin. Anderson, Oct. 16.?Two firemen were killed, an unidentified man is thought to have lost his life, and eight other persons, four of them firemen, were injured, some of them seriously, by the explosion and resulting fire caused in the public garage of A, L. Todd shortly before midnight tonight, when Ebb Layton of Spartanburg strucK a maicu l<j light the lamps of his automobile while the gasoline tank was being filled. Robert Todd, Jr., and W. B. Campbell are the dead firemen. The body of an unknown man is believed to be buried in the debris. H. C. Townsend. owner of the building, had his left leg broken below the knee and so crushed that it is likely amputation will be necessary. Archie L. Todd, proprietor of the garage and the adjacent repair shop, is badly burned about the face and hands. Marshall Smith, Tom Davis and Reid Fowler, firemen, with a negro helper, Andrew Johnson, and an unidentified by-stander, are in the Anderson county hospital, suffering from burns and bruises. Mr. Lay ton was severely burned. Striking of the match was immediately followed by an explosion and this by a burst of flames which almost instantaneously filled the building. The fire companies were somehow delayed in responding to the alarm. Shortly after they had gone to work one wall of the two-story concrete block building collopsed. It was by the falling of this wall that Firemen Todd and Campbell were killed and Mr. Townsend injuied. The building was located in the | heart of the city, and only one block west of main street. Archie L. Todd formerly lived in Columbia. He is a brother to Henry S. Todd, a train dispatcher of the j Southern railway at Columbia. H. C. j Townsend is interested in two cotton mills and other industrial enterpris- j es in Anderson. SOUGHT REYEXGE 50 YEARS. ! I _____ But When He Met His Enemy They j Shook Hands. St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 14.?After half a century Dr. Adam Reed, of St. Joseph, and C. P. Chilton, a motorman for the street railway company, met and with the meeting Dr. Reed discovered that a search which he has conducted since the battle of Antietam with the view of getting even with Chiiton had been in vain, for j although Reed did not know it he! shot Chilton in the leg after the latter had almost severed Reed's finger's with a sabre cut. Reed was 12 years old but large for his age when he was sworn into the army as a drummer boy with the j 185th New York Infantry. At Antietam he was helping to carry the! wounded to the rear when a troop of! rebel calvary came charging across the field. Chilton rode up to thedrum- j mer and, not noticing that the lad j was unarmed, aimed a blow at him with a sabre. The blow almost severed all the fingers of Reed's right hand. As Chilton rode away Reed ' > picked up a rifle and fired at th?. trooper. Reed swore to get even with the j man who had wounded him, although j he did not know his name and little ; concerning him, except that he was a ; member of Jackson's calvary. After j the war both came to Missouri and ; for years they have lived in St. Jo- j seph. Reed frequently rode on the ! platform with Chilton, and one day i tho r>r?nr?p of a r>rmvprsntiori pach 1 learned that the latter had been ! wounded at Antietam. The similarity of their stories; struck both, and with a few more j questions Reed learned that Chilton j was the man he had sought so long, i However, his anger had died away,: and wjjen he learned that he had j wounded Chilton they shook hands: and agreed to be friends. One on the Warden. An elderly churchwarden in shaving himself on Sunday before church time, made a slight cut with the razor cn the extreme end of his nose. Quickly calling his wife he asked her if she had any court plaster in the house. "You will find some in my sewing basket," she said. The warden soon had the cut covered. At the church in assisting wMth the collection he noticed every one smile as he ! passed the plate, and some of the | younger people laughed outright. J Very much anoyed he asked a friend ii inert; was iiu> unng n i uu? vwm his appearance. "Well, I should think there is." | was the answer: "what is that on your nose?" "Court plaster." "No." said the friend. "It is the label cf a reel of cotton. It says, "Warranted 200 yards long.' "?New York Globe. All kinds of school and office supplies at the Herald Book Store. FIVE BILLIONS FOR FARMEHS. Products 22 Per Cent Less Than Las Year, Worth 6 Per Cent More. With a total quantity of agricul tural products 22 per cent less tha in 1 h 12, the year's gross revenue fo the fanners will be G per cent nior than last vear, according to a bulk i tin issued by the Orange Juaa toni panv, which publishes several agri | cultural papers, says The Chicag i Tribune. Total value will be $5,000 | 000,000 or $269,000,000 more tha I a year ago. The reason for this extraordinar condition is, of course, the hig prices per unit for several of th large cereal crops. Corn, for exan: | pie, will show a total volume of 2 i per cent under that of 1912, but wit a value 4 2 per cent better will pre | duce for the farmers $100,000.00 j more than a year ago. "The wealth the farmers will re ! ceive for their decreased tonnage, says the report, "also has these tw decided advantages. Less labor an | expense will be required for harvesl I ing and marketing the crops tlii ' year, at a time when farm help i j scarce and high. "Only the decrease of about 50 j 000 tons in the weight of thes i staples will enable American rai I ways to move the crops of 1913 witli ! out a veritable breakdown of th j transportation system, in view of th ! heavy tonnage of other freight an of passenger traffic caused by th iesumption of good times. "The outcome of the agricultura i season, therefore, is profoundly bene ficial to industry, commerce and fi nance, taking the country as a whole | although certain individuals and lim j ited sections have been hard hit b the drought. "The shortage in new corn is no j a disaster. It is a blessing in die ' guise. For with more than 4 00,000, I 000 bushels of old corn on hand Oc ' tober 1 the aggregate supply c : maize this autumn will be some 2, 750,000,000 bushels. This just abou equals the corn supply following th i harvest of 1911?only two years age when the yield was 2,650,000,00(1 bushels and the supply of old cori was then only about one-fourth a large as now." The wheat output will be the great est in quantity and value in the coun try's history, and the value for po tatoes, $224,000,000, $40,000,00' more than last year, beating all re cords. "Even more remarkable than th foregoing is the 'present promise o the cotton crop," continues the bul letin. "Although nearly a millioj bales less than last year's, a decrease of 5 per cent, its price of around 1cents per pound to the planter wil make the cotton crop worth the un preceaentea aggregate 01 nearr $950,000,000. "In other words, cotton grower will receive a total of around $125, 000,000 more than last year, or ; total increase of 22 per cent. Thi; will be the greatest amount ever pah to planters in the history of the cot ton industry." The Concern of All. Where the modern passion fo amusement is going to end is a ques tion of the deepest concern to al who hope to see their country grov greater and stronger. There is n< doubt but the race for pleasure nov going on everywhere will weaken th< intellectual force of the people am undermine their nobler spirit. Th< current amusement is sensual, no possibly in the low meaning, but i is not intellectual or spiritual. It i: nearly all for appetite, show, excite ment. There is very little true con versation. .Men's minds are on tin trivial episodes of sports and politics women's on fashion and society Four-rifths of the reading is shallow It doesn't make better men or wo men; it makes worse. What is needed to comfort thii situation are earnest men and women who take some interest in seriou things, who read good books and tall sense and patronize the best. The; may sometimes get lonely in this ex perience, but it would be better fo themselves and the community i they did. But there is no need of that There is no puratanism in real life? in a positive, aggressive life tha stands for the good and the true Such people are the only ones wh< have a right to smile and look u] and to stand out in the communit; and say their say without fear o trembling.?Ohio State Journal. !

Sein gler, serving sentence in the Penitenr tiary for manslaughter, was given his e liberty from to-day until November 1 >- to allow him to go home to Aiken i- and try and save part of his estate i- for his wife and children. His propo erty is to be sold at public auction on the first Monday in November to n satisfy mortgages agregating $45,000. Governor Blease orders Seiy gler to report once each day while in h Aiken to the sheriff and to return to e the Penitentiary on November 1 and t- serve out his sentence. 0 This unusual and unique parole h was granted by the Governor after >- requests from Judge Rice, the twelve 0 jurors which convicted Seigler and several citizens of Aiken. They said ?- Seigler's estate was about to disap" pear and they asked the Governor to o parole him for a few days to give d him an opportunity to save some of t- his property for his wife and chilis dren. s Seigler, who belongs to a wealthy Aiken family, shot and killed Officer Patterson on the streets of Aiken, e was convicted of manslaughter and .sentenced to the Penitentiary, the Supreme court affirming the sen? tence. d Highest Dam in the World. e The Arrowrock dam, now under construction on the Boise River about l1 20 miles above the city of Boise, i- Idaho, will be, when completed, i- the very highest of all the dams. ;, From the lowest point of the founda tion to the roadway on the crest, the y height will be 351 feet. It will be heavy enough to resist the enormous t head of water back of it, but addii tional provisions besides that of weight are being made. Thus the - dam will disclose a curved outline in ?f plan. This curvature will, it is ex pected, tend in the reduction of the t stresses due to fluctuation of temper e ature. On the crest the curved length >. will be 1.060 feet. The foundation is thought to be of such a character n as to permit the elimination of ups ward pressure by ordinary precautions. It is proposed as a further - safeguard against such pressure, to - put down into the foundation a line - of holes just within the lone of the 0 upstream face. These holes are to go - down 30 or 40 feet, and are to be subjected to the application of Porfe land cement grout under pressure, f It is possible that no grout can be in trodu?";ed because of the compactn ness of the rock. "A line of open e holes will be driven to catch anyseepf age that might possibly get past the 1 pressure grouting and these seep - holes will be led up into a large in7 spection tunnel that will run the entire length of the dam just above the s normal high water surface of the - back water.^ * The dam will be constructed of s ruble cement. The total amount of i masonrv for this dam will amount to - about 500,000 cubic yards.?Cassier's Monthly. "Dead," but Enthusiastic. Ray Stannard Baker gives an acr count of Colonel Goethals and the - extraordinary manner in which he 1 has dug the Panama Canal. The following shows how he has managed 3 to get up enthusiasm among his men: v "When Goethals first went to Pan2 ama the work was organized on what 3 may be called the horizontal system s ?that is, the canal was considered 1 as a whole*, and one commissioner t had charge of all the lock work, an3 other of the excavation, and so on: " but after a short trial of this method " Gothals reorganized the entire work 2 cn what may be called a perpendic ular basis. He divided the canal into three divisions?Atlantic, Central, and Pacific?and placed each of them ' under a superintendent. Two of these superintendents, Colonels Sis bert and Gaillard, were army engin, eers and members of the Canal Coms mission, and the third, Mr. Williamc son, was a civil engineer. ' "Rivalry was instantly awakened between these divisions. r " 'They are putting in concrete at f Gatem at so many yards a day,' he * would tell the foreman, say at Pedro Miguel. 'You aren't goint to let Gat tun beat you, are you?' "A fierce rivalry grew up over 3 amounts of excavation done, cement p used, iron work put in, and the re suits were published from week to r week in the 'Canal Record.' The struggle has come to infect all classes of workmen. A story is told (and they swear it is true!) of a man on s i the Atlantic division employed at the I upper end of a huge drainage pipe used to carry water out of the hy draulic fill with a curve in the mid s | die. and this man's job consisted in a j keeping the entrance free from obe j struetion. One day he inconsideratet I lv fell into the pipe and was caught e J up through with the torrent. They d ! picked him up for dead, but presente i ly, opening his eyes, he said. 'They s couldn't do that on the Pacific di vision!'
