i RlTISH WILL
MEET ATTACKS
Lor.<lon, Sept. 19.?Wii sh cabinet
take the attitude that England will ?
undertake military action alone if i
necessary to protect the freedom of t
the Dardanelles. <
Lend n, Sept. 18 ( By the Associ- <
C cal Britain does not intend to
cii-.a-c in any war, obtained from
Uii a-ui oriative source today, cou- !
f '.? i with other statements of a modi. 1
' *! "y, is taken to mean that the '
s lies cabinet meetings and min- 1
ia.ei a! conferences in the last few
days have been partly in preparation '
for pc.ssible attacks in the British
torces by the Kcmalists and partly as
political preparation for the conteni- '
plated general conference for the set- >
tlement of the Turkish question. 1
While it is not seriously expected ?
in military quarters tnat Mustapna <
Kemal, head of the Turkish Nationalists,
will make an attempt either to i
capture Constantinople or cross the i
straits, the British wish to be ready 1
n case of emergency and not sacrifice
the meagre contingent of troops, long 1
stationed in Constantinople. 1
The many statements issued with 1
the permission of number 10 Downing <
street after each conference are in- t
tcrpreted as emphasing the intention 1
of the cabinet to jarry out the pol- 1
icy which it has faithfully adhered
to for more than three years regard- 1
ing Turkey and the straits, and, de- I
spite much criticism at home and I
abroad, that policy, which, is coupled i
with the Greek defeats, will still be
vigorously followed.
The first task of Premier Lloyd I
George is to win the French to his <
point of view. Great Britain is lay. i
ing h<*r cards on the table, and it is <
not her intention, it is said, to at- {
tempt to make a new Gibraltar of
Gallipoli; she merely wishes not to <
give the Turks another opportunity 1
in case of a general war to waste ]
so many European lives by Turkish t
control of the straits.
British secretary for foreign affairs, ,
is with the Turks, but Lord Curson j
who is proceeding to Paris, will i
nections by fotcin^ the Turks to accept
a European settlement of the (
straits, then France can afford to ,
yield and cooperate with the British ,
in a Turkish peace.

Liquor Amendment
Columbus, Sept. 19.?Ohio, at the
November election, will vote on the
state constitutional amendment to legalize
the manufacture and sale of

court today ordered Secretary of
State Smith to place the proposal on
the ballot in a madamus action
brought by the association opposed
to prohibition by the sponsors of the
amendment, after the secretary refused
to certify the amendment for a
vote. The Anti-Saloon League will
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court.

MINE GIVES UP
ITS HEROIC DEAD
Jackson, Calif., Sept. 19.?The first
}f the 47 bodies of the Argonaut gold
mine disaster will be brought to the
surface in the Kennedy mine in the
afternoon today. The crew in charge
of the government engineers went
iown the tunnel at eight o'clock.
Jackson, Calif., Sept. 19.?Fortyseven
miners died in the Argonaut
nine on August 26. The town awaits
:oday the bringing out of the bodies <
trom the tunnel that had been their
tomb for three weeks. It is California's
worst mine disaster.
Jackson, Calif., Sept. 18 (By the
Associated Press).?All 47 of the
niners entombed in the Argonaut
nine August 27 are dead, it was announced
officially shortly before 9
>'clock tonight.
A not e found on one of the bodies
ndicated that all of the men had died
within five hours of the beginning of
;he fire August 27, officials said.
All of the miners were found be- <
lind the second of two bulkheads they
lad built m a cros cut 4,350 feet down
;he mine. Byron O. Pickard, chiet
if the federal bureau of mines for
his district, was the first man to go
lehind the bulkhead and discover the
lodies.
Pickard, on an earlier exploration
lehind the bulkhead, had counted 42
lodies and expressed the belief then
that there were others there. The
lote found read as follows:
"**3 a. m., gas bad."
The same note bore a scrawled
igure "4," apparently indicating the
same man had attempted to leavo
word for those who might come after
of the condition of the mine at t
:hat hour.
Mine officials declared that the con
iition of the cross cut behind the
lulkhead was such that life could not
tiave been sustained there by the entombed
men for mode than five hours.
The bodies were piled one on top
if another and decomposition had sofar
progressed that identification
would be impossible, Pickard reported.
taurt a&er being; entombed.
The officials declared the mute
evidence of the men's struggles
showed they were 47 of the most
:ool headed men imaginable.
Sixteen of the ?entrapped miners
removed their clothes to provide material
for stuffing the cracks in the
wooden barrier, hastily constructed
which was found early this evening.
Then another barrier was built of
rock, earth and debris. However, the
<as and fumes from the fire apparsntly
seeped through the first bulk
and the men fled from the site where
they were building the second one,
to start a third farther on.
This third attempt to wall off the
Jeath dealing gas was made at the
end of the 4,350 foot cross cut in the
Argonaut, but the fact that only a
tuiro afnrt wua muiln at it nroved. the
mine officials said, that the deadly
carbon monoxide and the suffocating
?arbon dioxide had reached it and
performed their fatal office before the
47 unfortunates could raise even an
excuse for a barrier.
Mine officials said that death had
:ome to the entombed men painlessly.
The gasses, they said, would produce
first a lethargy, then a coma
and finally death.

The men come back to work at reduced
wages set by rail board against
which the strike was directed."

WOMAN KILLED 1
IN AUTO WRECK
McCormick, Sept. 18.?Miss Jeanette
Towers, 20 years of age, was in- j
stantly killed near Modoc, this coun- i
ty, at 4:30 o'clock this afternoon j
when a touring car driven by V. H. t
Wright of Tampa, Fla., overturned, t
Miss Towers, in company with her t
mother, Mrs. Dell Towers, and an i
older sister, Miss B. Towers, had <
been spending some time in Ashe- i
ville, and had advertised for some
one to accompany them on their return
trip to St. Petersburg, Fla., who i
would furnish a car as they wanted r
to drive through in an automobile (i
instead of by train. V. H. Wright (
answered the advertisement. They t
left Asheville this morning and drove t
to Greenwood for dinner. Leaving 1
Greenwood they intended going to t
Augusta for the night. When they
reached Modoc while on a All they t
met a wagon at a point where the a
sand was heavy and loose. In pass- t
ing the wagon Mr. Wright says that <
urn rvAti /VAirA kitvt ?f Inn of knl/ kft a
viiv iiiiii av icaov iiaiA vuc I
road but that on account of the sand ]
in the road at that point he lost control
of the car and in trying to get
back into the road, the car turned
over, pinning Miss Jeannette Towers
under the door of the car, killing her
almost instantly. The accident happened
just in the edge of the little
town of Modoc. Miss Towers' face
was badly cut and she was badly injured
internally. Mrs. Towers and
her daughter, Miss B. Towers, received
only minor injuries and went
on to Augusta leaving the body of t
Miss Jeanette Towers at the home of ]
A. P. Douglass at Modoc, after sum- |
moning an undertaker from Augusta. <
Witnesses in the town of Modoc who '
Saw the car pass through say that [
Mr. Wright was driving at a very ,
moderate speed, not exceeding 20 c
miles an hour. i
Mr. Wright is 42 years of age,
married and haB three children and |
had been spending some time in .<
Asheville for his health. Mr. Wright
is grief stricken over the accident t
which seems to have been entirely
unavoidable. The two Misses Tow- r
ere have taught school in St. Peters- ,
burg, FUu, for the past season and c
were returning to their home there. ,
to St. Petersburg for interment by
the side of her father, who died last j

I
Columbia, Sept. 19.?Restriction of '
the federal judiciary is urged upon
congress in a resolution adopted by 1
the South Carolina state labor federation
which brought the annuan convention
to a close here today. The
resolution charged tha judges were 1
"i*s".rpin?T powers and authority nev- '

the government."
Human Toughness
Here is a good line: "Pessimists '
forget of what tough, resistant fibre (
our million-year-old race is made." ,
Think about it, and brace up!
The human race has been through
flood and fire, and survived. Pesti- |
lence and war have laid it low, but (
it has always been able to rise again.
Under normal conditions, most of (
us are moving in low-gear. It's not ]
until we are sat upon that we develop
our full strength.
The more one knows of the his- ,
tory of the human race the more re- J
spect one has for this quality of
"toughness."?Type Metal.

Revival at Green Street r
Closes Tonight r
Dr. Starke delivered one of the >
rreatest messages last night at the
3reen Street Methodist church that
was ever delivered by mortal man in
South Carolina. ,
John Wesley, Bishop Asbury, early (
pioneers of the faith; Moody, Sam .
Jones, Pearson, Billy Sunday, Gipsy ,
Smith, Sr., Gypsy Smith, Jr., nor no
one else ever delivered a greater. }
Dne moment the audience was convulsed
with laughter, the next, awe
struck. I
At times wit and humor flashed
like lightning in the East. At other;
times, as the speaker uncovered the
present day evils into which we have
unconsciously drifted, men and women
were as serious as the tomb.
Simply wonderful!
Tonight is the last service of the
series. ' The evangelist will speak
fifteen or twenty minutes from the
subject, "Does it Pay to Serve j
Jesus?" and then we will have an
old-time testimony meeting. We are
looking forward to this last service,
as the greatest of all. I
Miss Stockard will sing her last
solo tonight. I am sure all of her
young friends will be present.
These two faithful workers have
accomplished much good since com-,
Ing to Union. They leave tomorrow
morning for Central to start a meet-; i
ing there. We shall regret to see j t
them leave. There is something sad i
in a "good-bye."

leading the rioters. Tha people of

spender.
A certain Lord writes to a London
newspaper:
"I have to wear a tall hat and the
tail coat of conventionality. I have to
tip well and cheerfully, and at tin
same time count every penny. When
friends from abroad conic to town 1
have to entertain them?which is a
pleasure, but nh! the plotting and the
planning and mean little economies
that I have to practise! Without a
title I should be a comparatively hap
|.y man. But 1 inheiited it and I cai not
shed it.
"A wealthy American said to me.
You British peers have a Jolly goo.1
lime!' I tried to exnlain to him thai
we, too, had responsibilities, but hcounterede
this by saying, 'I woult
give anything to be a man of title.
And I would have gixen a great deal
to be plain 'Mr.' with all his money. '

ANDERSON MAN
TO SERVE TERM
Anderson, Sept. 18.?Ernest Ashley,
who was found guilty of manslaughter
by a jury Saturday night
for the killing of Arthur Hughes,
deputy sheriff and policeman of
Honea Path, August 24, 1920, today
at 8 o'clock was sentenced by Judge
Mendel L. Smith to serve 12 years in
the state penitentiary at hard labor.
Harron Grier, one of the attorneys
for the defense, did not arrive until
3 o'clock, being lied up in the Under
wood case in Greenwood this week.
Mr. Grier arrived in time to make
an appeal for leniency to Judge
Smith and asked that the judge not
give a more severe sentence than the
resident judge did in the first trial
Judge Smith was firm in his stand
and held that the fact in the case
warranted a sentence of 12 years.
About a year and a half ago Ashley
received the same verdict and
was sentenced to 11 years in the penitentiary.
Upon an appeal for leniency
to Judge George E. Prince the
sentence was changed to ten years.
Ashley was released on bond pending
an appeal to the supreme cour*.
which granted him a new trial.
This has been a hart! fought case
Ashley was represented by T. Frank
Watkins, G. B. Greene and Claude B
Earle. Solicitor Harris was assist
ed by Gen. M 1.. Bonham and Sena
toi Proctor Bonham of Greenville.
It was said that Judge Smith
would impose sentence at 1(1 o'clock
.his morning and numbers of people
filled the court room before this hour.
Then it was found that the sentence
would be pronounced at 3 o'clock. It
was also thought that Judge Smith
would scntcn c B. H. Holley, who was
also convicted last Friday of manslaughter,
without recommendation
