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.

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

Mre. Goldea Frledlander, of Carmel,

FIRE ON POSSE
UNRULY BLACKS WOUND NINE
MEMBERS OP POSSE.
Shooting Stirs PeopSo of Town But
Augor Dies Down?One Man Was
ArrtwWd.
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.

1NE HORRORS
Dae to Greed, Says Senator Tillman to
Augusta Herald Reporter
TALKS OF OTHER THINGS
Thinks the Proceedings Against the
Standard Oil Company Only for
Effect?Thinks the Judges Will
fix it so as Trusts Will Escape
Serloun Harm.
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.

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.

PHOSPHATK DEPOSIT.

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

THE NEW FERTILIZER.
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
