HOPE IS GONE " That Any of the Miners Buried in the Cherry Mine Are Alive TUNNELS COLLAPSED la Second Vein, and Rcscuo Party In Cut Off?Fire Endangered Lives of Explorers?Second Party Rescued Them?One Who Escaped IMes?But to Left of 310 Men. A dispatch from Cherry Bays hope that there might still be alive some of the 1S9 men known to be entombed in the St. Paul coal mine was abandoned Tuesday. An exploration into what is known as the Becond vein, where it was thought probably miners had barricaded themselves and managed to exisit on oats and corn kept there for mules, showed that great portions of the tunnels had collapsed. It is thought that many men were buried und<er the debris and that if the obstruction is not soon cleared away at least 100 bodies may never be recovered. Fire is still raging In those tunnels; and theBe portions of the mine, in which Imprisoned miners might have found a retreat, are said to be full of the fatal black damp. The death Tuesday of one of the survivors brought to the surface last Saturday reduced to 19 the total number of those saved out of the 310 entombed by the fire a week ago Satarday. No bodies were found Tuesday. The explorers met with great obstacles Tuesday- In one instance flr#* hrr>k? nnt- in a tnnnpl teninorttrt ly cutting off the escape of 26 men who had ventured 4,000 feet from the hoisting 6haft. The smell of 6moke gave the warning above and fresh men rescued the explorers. Following a telegram sent to Governor Deneen by the executive board of the minerB State organization, asking that some one man be designated to take charge of the mine. Mine Inspector Hector McAllister was placed in charge of the exploring work. Despite the fire and the falling in of tunnels, the work of clearing the mine will be pushed night and day. A diary was found In the clothing of Samuel D. Howard, 21 years old, whose body was found In a pocket of the mine. The diary was bagun on November 13, the day the fire started, and covers a period of two days, describing the struggle for life until black damp ended the weird tale, written with a pencil on loose leaves of an account book. rvdtAcmv ciialtu tnifv C*A.i WOlV/.l OI A . AV/ It ?! Five Buildings Demolished at Danville, Illinois. At Danville. Illinois, a charge of dynamite, weighing twenty - five pounds, was exploded under the fruit and wine house of Joseph Mascari early Tuesday, demolishing five buildings and doing damage amounting to about $50,000. Buildings north and south of Mascari's store were wrecked. Plate glass windows in every building within three squares were shattered. Gun cotton and bits of fuse were found nearly two blocks away. Maecari charged members of the "Black Hand" Society with the dynamiting, but declined to say whether ho had received their threatening letters. Two men wore seen to run from the vicinity of the building two minutes before the explosion. The police have descriptions of them. The explosion shook every building and residence in the down-town section. Hundreds of people, aroused from sleep, believed there had been an earthquake. The ruins caught fire, but the flames were quickly extinguished. No one was killed in the explosion. The police arrested Tony Palmlsano in connection with the affair, but released him after they were convinced he was In no way concerned. NEGRO KILLS HIS WIFE. Shoota Woman Down Because She Went to a Party. At Greenwood Coroner Owens had his first job Monday. He waa called upon to hold an Inquest over the dead body of Minna Cunningham, a negro woman, who was Bhot last Friday by her husband, Jackson Cunningham, on the farm of Mr. L. H. Watts, on the eastern edge of the county. The woman lived several days after being shot, but her life was despaired of from the first. From the testimony it appears that Jackeon became enraged at her because she went to a "box" party, and Bhot he*. Died of Rabies. Mre. Goldea Frledlander, of Carmel, N. J., was bitten by a dog flvs weeks ago, but paid little attention to the wound until a few dayB ago, when she applied for treatment It was then seen that she had hydro pnooia, ana mat it was too late tor treatment.

Following two daj*B of tense excitement, with a race riot of serious proportions threatened, as a result of the wholesale wounding of a deputy sheriff's posse by druDken negroes in the eastern Bection of the city of Union, B. C., Saturday night, quiet again prevails, and the officials of that town believe they have the situation in hand. The negroes who did the shooting made their escape and this probably accounts for the fact that further dis-1 orders were not recorded later. Late Monday afternoon one of the negroes charged with the shooting was arrested and lodged in jail. Three others for whom warrants were issued have not been apprehended. Following repeated efforts on the party of Deputy Sheriff A. S. McColl to put a stop to the noisy revelry at a negro "frolic" Saturday, he, with a party of citizens, started for the house occupied by the negroes. The latter opened fire with shotguns, wounding nino members of tho officers' force, including the deputy nhfxrlff whn rA ivp^ wnunris in oanh leg. The others wounded were W. A Dye, two loade of shot in cheat and face; Iioyd Harris, shot in legs; Herbert Brandon, shot in face and body; H. L. Timmons, 6hot in legs; Rudolph Lowe, both legs peppered with shot; Earl Dolling, shot in body; Albert Wright, body peppered with shot; Grady Reynolds, shot in head and body. One negro was found near the house seriously wounded. It is said that be got within range of his companion's shots when the attack was made upon the officers. Sheriff G. G. Long was summoned and immediately went to the scene with a posse armed with repeating rifles. The negroes had fled, however, and the sheriff and his men directed their attention to a systematic search of the negro section for the guilty ones, but without result A large quantity of whi6key was found In the house occupied by the negroes. Later the wounded negro was found by the officers near the house, where he had crawled after his companions fled. Dye Is the most seriously wounded o fthe posse, but it is not thought his wounds will prova fatal. Eightythree shot were removed from his bodr. BABY STARVED. Left Infant Suspended in Air Hanging by a Rope. One of the most inhuman crime* ever perpetrated in that vicinity, was discovered the other day on the Jersey side of the river, opposite New York. Some laborers saw someth'ng that looked like a bundle hangiug from a long ropo over the edge of the Pallasades, which, at that point rise more than a hundred feet abovei the narrow banks. Hauling up the sixty-foot rope, they 'jiought th<? bundle to the top of the rocks. It proved to be the body of an infant tied into an apron. A medical examination showed that the child had been tied in the apron and had betni allowed to starve, suspended from the rope, the upper end of which was fastened to a tree. The authorl ties are making stronuouB efforts t"> find the inhuman perpetrator of thi.crime. SWINDLER IN EASTOVER. Several Persons There Were Caught by His Game. A dispatch from Eaatovor to The State says for the past few daye there has b?>en a swindler in the community. A white man has beeD canvassing the country under the name of agent for a certain sick benefit society. He would approach a person, generally a negro, and interest him in the subject. Then he would win his point by saying, "You know Mr. T. H. Auld of Eastover. don't you? Well, be is general agent for the company in all this lower Richland county. Now you give me $1 and I'll give you my receipt and ' you take it to Mr. Auld and he'li ! issue you the policy." Several persons fell for this game and now are bemoaning the loss of their dollars.

The Herald of Augusta says Senator D. R. Tillman of South Carolina, accompanied by Mrs. Tillman, epenr Monday morning In Augusta, while on their way to attend the golden jubilee of Major and Mrs. Hnrry Hammond, at Beech Island. The sen> ator and Major Hammond have been friends for a long time and he wf.s looking forward to the great *vent at Beech Island with much pleajuvo. While in the city many of th<i senator's friends met him and exp.-esbed their pleasure at hla bolng In Augusta. When seen by a reporter for The Herald Senator Tillman waa quite ready to talk and much of his words dealt with the declfllon recently made by the United States court notably in the Standard Oil case. "I believe," he nald, "that the recent decision against the Standard Oil Company is like the $29,U00,00J> fine, and I am going to watch which way the pieces fall before I throw up my hat and start a hurrah. It always appears to me that in every such decision of the United States court the judge fixes it bo that some of their millionaire and multi-millionaire friends can slip out easily. The Investigation of the sugar frauds i6 nothing new, it should have been done long ago. The law wae passed ten years ago and why in the didn't Roosevelt Jump into them, and raise the devil with them instead of shouting aloud and tearing hla hair about what he was going to do. I am going to, and the people of this c-ountry should also watch the grafters like a hawk, for I expect that they will find it an easy matter to slip out and go their way unpunished. If a nigger or a poor white man steals a small amount of some little goods, he goes to the penitentiary, but let a high financier make off with millions of the people's money and he is presented with a chromo and hailed as a hero. ALHJUl lUV UJ1U? UibUEiUIH. IV iO not for the national government to attend to the punishment of the Irregularities existing but Abe States Bhould be held to account. The Illinois horror is only a repetition of another result of the greed of capitalists. The clamor of the 8tates for national aid is a bad thing and it Is rapidly destroying the belief of the people in State government. The recent utterance of President Taft for the health of the country to be placed under national control is all wrong, for the health of the people was always Intended to be regulated by the police laws of each city or State. It would be impossible for the government to carry on this ;reat work successfully. The new pure food laws were fine laws and have worked remarkably well and have done much for the people." Gettin* near home the Benator stat | ed that he did not know what would be done to the dispensary grafterB in South Carolina, "I don't see bow they can let one man go and punish another, and 1 am watching with much interest the results of the future trials. Who will be the next governor of South Carolina? Why there Isn't a person living who could tell. The race Itgoing to be a stiff one and there are a number of strong men ready to take the job in Columbia." KILLED A DESPERATE NEGRO.. Pin-mnn Tmnpr Shot Whlfmnn nr. leyWhen Latter Threatened Him. Furinan Turner, a liveryman of Yorkville, shot and killed Whitman Harley, colored, Monday night. Harley was a noted desperado, who had a record as a criminal, having killed one man and Bhot several others. The trouble arose about Harley hiring a team from Turner. The negro was insulting and ran his hand into his pocket and Turner, knowing the desperate nature of the man with whom he had to deal, shot and kllk-d him. Public Bt-ntiment generally regards the shooting as Justifiable. KILLED BY A LEAD PENCIL. Two-yeai^-old Child Fell From a Chair and Injured Herself. A ead and fatal accldcnt occurred at Greer, 6.

I # ^ ^ PHOSPHATK DEPOSIT. TT- TV/-, Will Dl/ikOc wi _ AUr^ IT UJ IJliUg UI 1.UVUVO r x) to Branchviilo. Branchville, Nov. 26.?Special: State Geologist Sloaa, of Columbia, has been In Branchville the past ? week looking further into the bed 1*^ of phosphate rock that is situated < almost right in town. It will be remembered that last winter while digging a well on the lands of Mrs. Murray, there was discovered a deposit of geological specimens and ? rocks that were curiosuly examined W'i by many. They were determined then as being phosphate, but nothing was done to determine the real worth of the bed and how rich It was. Now the geologist has made a thorough Inspection of the land around where this find was made and has gone into the thing thoroughly. He finds that under the surface about ten feet there is a great bed of Luia ut^^/vttit iuhl uw uaitiira ib guuu phosphate. It is very rich and will produce, it is estimated, at least ? 1,000 tona per acre and possibly a Vl'l great deal more, all of it being very close to the surface. It is not known yet how far the deposits extend, but it is most probable that they cover a considerable portion of the land. Mr. J. J. Hutto owns the land where the richest find of this rock is Bituated, and ? this land is just out side of the Ex town limits. Geologist Sloan stated when asked as to the probability of working this find, that in the course of five or ten years it could be worked very profitably and would be a source of 1 much revenue to the parties owning the land and to the town of Branchville aB well, for then ferti- ? lizer millB could be erected here and tho farmers could get their fertilizing material at first cost and with- i out having to have it shipped in to them. 1 ry \ irtina \ nr* * i % wrn 1 V V/iii.oi>3 rjiiitJU luriuiii Refusal of Young Woman to Dance i With Yonng Man.

A discovery of far-reaching lmpor- < tance to the farmers of the South is ? the new fertilizer which has been i perfected on one of the Islands near Charleston, S. C. It has long been known that lime Is an essential food for plants of all kinds and that they \ cannot live when it has been exhaust-1 ed from the soil. It has also been ! known that old worn-out lands are extremely deficient In lime, and that sour, badly-drained lands have their lime is a for mthat is not usable by growing crops. Farmers' Bulletin No. 124, U. S Dept. of Agriculture, says: "All the applications of lime increased the yields The best yields were obtained with the lime In the form of carbonate, the finely ground oys- 1 ter sheila Btandlng first * * Lime with fertilizer was more profitable than depending upon fertilizer alone." This new fertilizer which presents ' lime in its most usable form is mad" , by a new process of burning oyster , shells and using a burner that can Bupply potash. The result Is a high 1 grade fertilizer :osting the consumer only $7.00 per ton. It reclaims worn-out landB In a marvelous man-1 ner if applied broadcast two months ahead of ammoniated goods.
