A Bad Mixture *
(
In the New Pension Luwh ii? to ^
Dates. The County Pension |
Boards. 1
t
The State. ,
At th'? last session of the gen
eral assembly a new pension net t
was passed, as was an act provid- ^
iug for county pension commissioners.
An examination of these '
acts in the comptroller's office
yesterday preparatory to getting
out circulars of information developed
the fact that a general
mixture hus occurred which it
will probably take amendatory
acts to cure before the pension
machinery can get in shape for
work this year. The pension
act requires all county pension t
boards to meet on the third M011- l
day in January of eacti year. The ?
pension commissioner act requir- t
es that tne county pension hoard t
at its first meeting in January I
shall elect one of its members to 1
be county pension commissioner I
and that he shall tie at the audi- <
tor's office to make out and pro- >
perly arrange the applications t
every Saturday (luring the month t
of January. Three other meet- '
ings of the pension hoards are
provided for. It can he easily t
seen wherein i* ili? lunnln ?
. .?w- rother
feature is if till the meet- f
ings nre held and the commission- a
era in each county are to l?e paid h
as required, quite a snug amount a
will be tuken from the pension ?
fwnd. ''
It is probable that an act our- h
ing the defects in the existing acts ^
will be introduced on the first h
day of the coming sessiou and tl
rushed through. ?
A Fatal Explosion
At Portman Shoals. "
d
Superintendent of the Quarry and
a Workman Killed. Packing y
Dynamite with a Drill. v
tl
Special to The State. e<
Anderson, Oct. 10.?A prema- w
ture dynamite explosion at the ft
quarry at Portman killed James tl
Tobin, white, superintendent of hi
the quarry, and Sana Oglesby, a in
negro laborer; and Joe Whitmer
and John Robinson, negro labor- oi
era, were slightly injured. ai
Mr. Tobin had a force of hands h<
at work getting out stone to be ki
used in the masonry on the dam in
now nearly completed: a hole had ot
been drilled in a rock and this w
was being filled with dynamite L
preparatory to blasting. The
dynamite watt in the shape of a a
cartridge and it wus the custom p<
to use six or eight 111 each hole, tb
Mr. To bin'was directiog the op- in
eration and was standing directly tli
over the hole with the cartridges m
in his hand. kt
Oglesby was ramming them at
down with a wooden crowbar but th
the wooden instrument did not
give satisfaction and he laid it
aside and began using an iron
drill to force the cartridges down. ^
it is supposed that the iron drill ^
ouutA it^uuiHi mo stone and
caused n spark which igitod the
dynamite and caused the explos ^
ion which was frightful. ^
Mr. Tobin was blown upward ^
-and backward and fell several feet
away. The top of % his face was
blown off and he wus otherwise
terribly mangled. Death was in
stantaneous. The negro Oglesby y(
. was bruised and torn from the c?i
cbett downward but lived about
st
two hours after the accident. The bi

ied of heart disease. y
Coroner Green was notified and B

erdict being in accordance with '
10 facts. The body will be buri- R

irifty and so was she. They 8?

The woman it is said, came
rigmally from Laurens county, c'
id the negro, Ed Owens, was
ir father's slave. Owens was
illed on Aug. 0, 1901, in the
anner described ahove. Two
her persons and a pair of mules
ero killed by the same bolt of g>]
ightning.
Some time after Owens' death er
question arose as to some prosrty
