April 24. Twenty-three miners are dead in Ott Mine No. 20 of the Davis Coal and Coke Company here as the result of an explosion early to-day. lt cannot be learned yet whether the explosion was caused hy dust or gas. As soon as the accident became known. Superintendent Robt. Grant organized a rescue corps of the min ers off duty, and these attempted to enter the mine. The rescue parties had not advanc ed far into tho workings before they discovered it would take several days to dig through the heaps of roof coal and slate that had been loosened by the explosion. It then was decided to effect an entrance nearer the proba ble point of the explosion by cutting through the wall of an adjoining mine owned by the same company. Located Under To-vn. Late this afternoon the rescuers had penetrated to the No. 20 mine at a point about four thousand feet from the outside entry. There still remained about the same distance to go before reaching the miners. The Ott Mine No. 20 is almost di rectly under the town of Elk Garden, which is on a hill. The mouth of the minc ls about half a mile from the town. In striking contrast to the usual mine explosions, the victims in this case, with one exception, are Ameri cans. A FORWARD MOVEMENT. Presiding Ehler ('anthon Heartily Approves the Work of Laymen. At. no time in the history of the church has there been greater activ ity in general benevolence. Men are donating larger sums of money for every phase of human develop ment, and many are devoting their service to various sorts of uplift work. This is not. a condition con fined to one branch of the church alone, but every Christian denomina tion has caught a larger vision of pi'vilege and obligation to make bet ti And this disposition ls not con fined In its benefits to the home country, but the nations beyond the seas aro coming in for their share of this divinely inspired purpose. In no day has the missionary spirit been greater. .The churches are hearing the call from afar, "Come over and help us," and they are re sponding in the most encouraging manner. Last year was a record breaker in missionary enterprises and contributions, and we expect this to be the most fruitful In all the his tory of the years. In view of this general spirit our local churches throughout South Car olina are planning to take a place in the front rank. Not a few pastoral charlies, individual churches and in dividual persons are undertaking the support of their own missionaries in the foreign field. And il ls not an unsafe prophecy that bo fore many years the customs >f chargea sending their own man across tho sea to preach the Gospel will he general. Wi' are glad to report thal thb spirit is touching our own chtircho! within tho Anderson dist rici, coin prising Oconee, Anderson and Abbe ville counties, with ono church in Bickens. The most promising enter prise now on fool is one looking lo each county in the district support ing a missionary above its regular contributions through the channels ol' assessments.
