dr6. Wi.-en was a widod iiVing on. an
ra grove near Dide Jity. She is
a woman o1 moderate mun3, so zio re
aes the s:ory, and a stranger, a man
by the name of Mhilr, a northeriaer,
came there to board. He wns an au
thor and wrote several books, one whii
living in Dado Ciry, enitied "For
Ewenty Years a Tramp," or "A Trip
'h:ouha Heli," which purported to be
a histry of his own Idle and severai
of rhe scenes were laid in and around
Dade City. Mrs Wilson describes
Miller as an erratic fellow. He wrote
under the non de plume of Peter Blum.
While at Mrs. Wilson's he became
strongly infatuated with little L aula,
,Rho was then about six years of age,
&nd4 Mrs. Wilson's youngest child.
0.1 da he and the child tu'Adenly
disappeared, and though the surround
i1zg country was tuoioughly searched
no trace could be found of the mi0sing
ones. Weeks grvw into months aLd
every one almost despiired of ever lo
ating the child. Finailly, however, a
clew was secured and tte Child was
traced to a convent in St. Augustine,
Fla. This was -levza mo-nths after
ward. Mrs. Wilson went for her child,
but on arriving a; the convent she haa
much trouble in recovering the little
one as it had been plaed in the con
vent under an assumed name, th
st:anger who had left it there claim
ing that the child's parents were dead
and that the deceased father, a irtend
of his, had bequeathed it to him. Mrs.
Wilson obtained the child after a court
proceeding arnd returned with it to
Dade City. All went well now for a
few months. There was no trace of
Miller and he was not persecuted of
course.
Bet the story does not end here. A
young man by the nama of Henderson,
who had Irved in a nearby village for a
number of years and who was known
to the family, c.ime over to Mrs. Wil
son's with a letter from a married
daughter of Mrs. Wihson's regaesting
that little Leula be sent baci wiuh Mr.
Henderson to speird a week with her,
she havin g seen little of the child sinca
:ts reeovery. Mrs. Wilton iLot Eus
pectng anything wrong let the child
go. B~u the letter proved to be a
forgery. Hendeon dbiappeared and
no trace of the iiLtC giri could be found.

From tiis letter she securrd several
names of psr.ias in South Florida, and
when arriving in Columbia, away from
Miler's espionage, she opened up a cor

young girl was enthusiastically happy,
too.

Li.. nighi after learning the story
a representativo of The Sbate called on
te v. Father Hegarty f St. Peter's
Catholie ch.urnh and asked him about
tne e0se. He said that it was one night
in Juiy last that a young girl about 14
years of age came to the convant say
ing that -he had come from Florida
and asked to be taken in. She gave her
name as Mary Young, but culd not
give a clear account of her antecedents.
Shre said that she had been staying
wah a family named Miller, who were
not relatives, but she could or would
not tel why ahe left them, She said
she had come straight to the convent
from the depot. Her story was so Md
died that the mother superior refused
to take her in and she did not stay a
single night in the convent
Lster one of tae sistera of the con
vent, feeling sorry for the girl, asked
a Catholio lady frierd whom she had
bard azy she wished to adopt such a
girl, to take !er and give her a home,
This was done. The girl became dia
satipfied after awhile, and another
Catholic lady took her, giving her a
home.
Father Hegarty says that as far as
he know, the girl in some way got in
communication with her relatives, and
that on Tuesday a woman came to Co
lumbia, and elairm~ing the girl carried
her away with her. This was the whole
story so far as Father Hegarty knew it.

COTTON SPINNERS
Associatlon Meets In Convention
in Atlanta.
McLAURIN MAKES A SPEECH.
Ship Subsidler. and Bulldirg the
Isthmian Canal Will, Ha
Says, Brnefit the
South.
The Southern CAtton Spinners' asso
oiation met in annual convention in 4
lanta on Thursday. Thi:: -s h1 e fitch
yearly gathering of the assoistion and
the atteLdIce was large, mnny people
from Nsw Y.rk, Pennsylvania and the
New Eagland States inreribing their
Dmes on the register. A business ses
sion was held in the morning, and the
afternoon was given over to sightseeing
the delegates being the guest3 of the
Southern railway on a trip around At
lanta.
After the welcoming address Thura
day morning Dr. J. MeAdon, president
of the associauion, dejivered his an
nual address. He recommended a dee
laration by the spinners in favor of a
marcas::t marine "upon a basis that
wul give all A.zriaan citiz.nz an qual
ance, prevenlt fivo~i.ism to enreircn
cd inueraets and recogn-ze the produong
classs in the rkduetion of .*reigh.
Ha also flavored the building and con
strAesion, as soon as ponioie, of th3
iaanknaa canai. On reaiproaisy Dr.
Mcacien said:
"The immejnse balance of t:ade in
our favor c:ateb the necessity of our.
finuing a market for our sarplus pro
(uOts. We bhould do al that we en
to advance to;ti Lhe letter and ta
spirit of reciprecity. We especiailty
esire closer commercial relations with
South American and the orient."
At a "kimok:r" in the Kimball house
Thursday night Hon. Iiuke Smith of
Aaanta bpoke on "DeveiopmenL of our
home talent" and United States Sena
tor John L. McL'.urin on 'Extension
of our foreign trade."
Senator McLaurin Eaid:
"We are at the dawn!rg of a new day
of progress in the histor-y of the worid.
A better day is .-st approaching when
all people wil have a more perfect un
deztandtng of the brotherhood of man
nnd the independence (f nations. Un
til recendy commerce was not decmed
a proper tbet for governmontal'can
sideration. There is no direct depar1
mrnt d cmmerce in any goverament
except that of Germany. The moving
coneiderations promp:ing the e
ment of the business trouole were cum
eroe. The dme will conie when the
best minds of every country wili be call
ed upon -to adjust the complicated
qestion of foreign trade and the con
sular officers at the leidtng ports of
commerce will equal in importance the
iplomatic ambassadors."
In connection with the extension of
the south's foreign trade, Senator Mc
Lurin advocated an American mer
hant marine.
"Our weakness, upon the sea is the
ne great danger that confronts the
nation," said Senator McL aurin. "If
ships ocuid be built in the United
States as cheaply and operated under
ur flag as cheaply as they are under
ther flags, it would be better for the
government and would more than off eet
the subsidies, bounties, naval service
retained and other methods by which
foreign governments attract capit:l
into merchant ships built and managed
by their own people.
"We must not imagine that man-j
iind is dep~ndent upon national legis
lation in order to make ship owning
pay. We have ample eyidence of larga
American investments in foreign butit
ship.s, manned and operated bg for
igncrs in our fareign trade. Howev
er much our peopli may have invested
in foreign ships they are unavilable
unde:: internataosal law when as war
as naval auzinianes.
"Another thing we should ramember:

ays there is scarcely a bit of food on

sent $500D to Mr. Snabary and relief

No BOUNTY FOR TEE BOYS.
According to a Circular Bounty Stor.
Was a Delusion.
The following "Special Circular Let
ter," sent to a South Carolinian wh<
applied for blanks on which to file hii
claim for a "bounty," as a Spanish
American war soldier, seems to effect
ually crush all such hopes:
Treasury Department,
Office of
Additor for the War Department,
Washington, D. C., Oct. 8, 1901.
A special dispatch was published it
several of the leading daily papers or
or about Spet. 29, 1901, in regard to ai
alleged discovery of some old laws b3
a Brooklyn lwyer, granting $84 State
and $192 federal bounties to soldier
for services in the recent Spanish.
American war, and stating that il
:oaId coat the Sate about $2,000,00(
ad the federal government about $5,.
000,000. it was also alleged that some
thousands of cases were now befara
Attorney General Knox at Washing
ton for his decision, and that the mat.
ter is expected to be settled within the
nezt ten days.
'This dispatch is very vague, and ac
far as the United States is concernec
is incorrect and misleading. No suci
cies are before the attorney general ol
the Uaited States for his action or de.
cision.
Furthermore, no law has ever beez
passed by congrets, granting any boun
ties whatever to any soldiers for service
in the late Soanish American war of
1898 and 1899. Certain laws were
paved giving extra pay to tuch sol
aiers in certain oaes, in liu of a fur
lough or a leave of absence. Bat in
Dearly a:1 such eses the zoldiers who
were enitied to sujh exLra pay have
aircady been paid it.
Ia regard to bounty due to soldiers
from the United 8-.S*es for service in
the Ciivil war of 1861-1865, no recent
bounty law, have oeen pa-sed. The
ia a generaI bounty law ena..ed by the
United Stutes was on April 22, 1872,
su'1 neary ali so.diars entidedst boam
ty under that act, &ad aiao under previ
oas acts pansed giving bounty to so'
dierd for service in the Civil war, have
already been paid all the ounty due
them.
It is only necessary to say in conclu
sion, that there is no foundation what
ever for any such statements as set
forth in said dispatch, so far as the
United Stares is concerned, and it is
hoped that those who are interested in
this matter will not be induced to make
useless inquiries or to file worthless
claims on account of such misrepresen
tations. F. E. Rittman,
Auditor.
Twenty Counties Represented.
The Uolumbia State says it looks as
if the difbrent counties of the State
are going to be very well represented at
the Charleston oxpcsition, The su'per
intendent of tie Ssate exhibica at the
expoasiion, Mr.. A. W. Love, has
presented to the governor his report for
the month 9f October, in which he
says. "The new counties that have
oome into line since my last report are
Dorchester, Abbeville, Sumtor and
Cherokee, so that the total number of
counties that will exhibi is now as fol
lows: Spartanburg,Chester,Georgetown,
Fiorence, Mariooro, Orangeburg,
Barkeley, Colleton, Union, Abbeville,
Cherokee, Dorchester, Sumter, Dar
lington, Eorry, Bamberg, Edgefleld,
Greenwood, Lauren. and Pickens."
Mr. Lo~ve also further announces that
the city concil of Manning will send
three glass water tanks and will fur
ish the artesian diaking water from
their city wells to supply these tanks
with free drinking water for the public.
He makeM many other interesting an
nouncements as to exhibits to be sent
and arrangements for the decorations,
etc , of the Sate building. He ex
presses the belief that the State build
ing will be completely filled with most
reditable exhibits.- Mr. Love among
other things says: "I have visited all
of the faii-s of this State and- secured
what material was available for the
Ssate exhibit, but the total amount is
Smail, yet I will have suffiuient materi
11 When the exhibit is finally installed."
ia regard to this statement is may be
~said thkat Mrt. L~ve found that exhibi
tora in manyr instances, when they
fo,.und thast the material was wanted for
the exposition abrediancyprices for it.

MINE EXPLOSION.
Five Men Kilied and Tw&nty-five
RescuedAlive.
THE MINE STILL BURNINO.
It Is NA Known How Many
Mora Are Dead, Eight or Ten
Persons Are Unaccount
ed For.
Five dcad bodies have been taken
from the Baby mine at Poeshontas,
Va., several other persons are unao
counted fo, and 25 persons have been
rescued more or less severely burned.
At 3 o'clock Friday morning it was
discovered that the Baby mine of the.
Pocahontas Collier company at Poos
houtas, Va., was on fire. An alarm
was sent in and the fire company re
sponded promptly. In a short time*
after the fire fighters had reached the
mouth of the mme and weie attempt
ing to extinguisa the flames, some of
the firemen and others having rushed
inside the mine to ascertain the extent
of the tronole and to assist mmers
entombed thercin, a terrifo explosion
ocoured and many miners and their
friend3 were more or less injured. It
is suppoecd that the mine caught Are
from a deteative electric light wire.
Five codies had been recovered up
to 6 p. .m., and it is uncerain- how
many more are dead, uliough it is
kaowa sa&; khere are several, parhaps
8 or 10, sLia in the mines unlssa they
buc(ce~ee in makir. their escape
througa the Tag 1ier entranoe.
Twventy-five persons have beenres
cued, a:1 more or less turned, some we
lionaly and perhaps several fatally.
The itjured were carried to their
homos in wagons and the aooters in
Pocanonas have been busy all today
argenaing oim. One or two other ex
plosions have foiowed that of the
morning and others are hourly ex
pected. The mine is stili burning and
clouds of smote are constantly issuing
from its mouth. The fan has now been
stopped, ana as soon as possible to do
so the m.ne will be reentered in the
hope of extinguishing the fire.
In 1884 Pocahontas experienced a
like ocourrence in which over 100 lives
were lost.
The dead so far recovered are: Louis
Wollwin, John Barnhart, Will Mont
gomery, X.. D. Koontz, Hungarian
named Urico. -
Woolwin Montgomery and Koonts
were killed waile attempting to rescue
and bring out a dead body. At this
time it is impossible to secure the
names of those injured. As yet the
esdimate of damage oanot be obtain
ed.
Latest reports from the Baby mines
disaster indicate that it is much more
serious than at first supposed. . Up to
noon Friday nine bodies had been re
covered and it is believed that 15 more
are yet in the burning mine.
Fire companies from the surrounding
towns have been called upon to assist
in extinguishing the flame.. That part
of the Baby mines where the explo
sions occurred is on the Virginia side.
The main entry of this mine is
miles in length and extends over into
West Virginia. The work of rescue is
yet going on and it is estimated that
possibly live or six bodies ill be re
covered before night.
