World vide interest Is focused on the valley of the kings along tft* Nile In Egypt ? where Howard Carter, an American, discovered the tomb of King Tutankhamen for Lord Carnarvon of England.

The tomb of Tutenkhamen was opened official ly to visitors this afternoon, when about 100 distingu shed personages weie admitted to tsee the splendors disclosed last weok.- From ea.ly in the morning the track alongside the Nile leading to the valley of if f? k n ,s was c;o\v ..eu, an. I g eat numbe.s hastened in various conveyances to 'he scene of the excavations, among them bo ng some of those privileged to enhance :n'o the tomb itself, o j r\Lord Carnarvon, Howard Carter, Professor Bieasted, Professor Lacau, and o her noted Egyptologists had assembled early to supervise the ar rangement for receiving the guests. The damage done inside the tomb by thieves seems to have been far less than was anticipated. The can opy chamber itself apparently is al most untouched. The large s'ze of the canopy, which to a great extent hides numerous inscriptions and dec orations on the walls, has lod Mr. Carter to think that it may cover other mummies in addition to that of Tutenkhamdn. About two o'clock in the after noon the queen of the 'Belgians, the crown prince, and Field Marshal Viscount Allenby and Lady Allenby were conducted into the tomb. They were accompanied by Professor La cau and M. Cappart, director of the j Cinquentinaire museum at Brussels. | The queen's slight figure easily pass- j ed through the n?rro(v opening in the' sealed door. But some of the others had to squeeze through, espec ally Lord Allenby, who is n*?big man. Entering through the breech into the inner chamber, which now was brilliantly lighted by electric lamps, he visitors exclaimed with delight and astonishments at the beauties of the glorious serine. Notwithstanding the heat and the closeness of the a - mosphere, Queen Elizabeth remained for more than half an hour, plying her conductors with questions an i expressing intense interest, but when she emerged it was manifest that she had suffered, and she was glad to rest on a nearby chair and take a draught of water. Each day adds to the wonders dis posed by further explorations into the tomb of the Pharoah Tut-Ankh Amen. In the opinion of Howard Carter, who has charge of the exca vation, two years of work are need ful in the examination, registration, photographing and treatment of the treasures, which are* described as "magn;firent and unprecedented in the annals of Egyptology." There i is reason to believe that the tomb will be closed this week and left, as it is the excavotors devoting the re mainder of the season to preparing for removal of the objects now under treamen . The American miniver to Egypt, .1. Morton lIoAcll. and Mrs. How ell also inspected the treasures and the min ster described them as "stu-. pendous. marvelous, beyond all im agining." In the fourth chamber, which i? as big as the ahrine room, unsold riches arc piled high, these includ ing a great golden chest, innumer able boxes and jars, xvine vessels. va?w? ami ? two beautiful little statures of the king standing on a lion, heavily gilded, each ab^ut a foot high. On the ground along side the canopy a number of paddles were found belonging to sacred model boats. These paddles arp about four feci long. The chariots in this annex were not set: up as first reported, but had been taken apart, like those dis co\ered in the first chamber. Although King Tutankhamen .has been dead for more than 3,000 years '??e has crowded many presen -day celebrities oif of the front, page and i.'i succeeding M. Coue as a 'opc of public inteiest, ..says the Gre n ille News. No other Egyptian king has ever received the newspaper publi city that is com ng to the la'. ? Mr. Tutankhamen, and his feat of break ing into the front page with ?a bang af er 3,300 years of patient wait ng should, prove encouraging to hose who have been vainly smuggling for the limelight and who feel like giving up in despair While everybody has read about him, few undertake to pronounce his full name an I by gen eral consent he has been nicknamed "King Tut,'-' though some call him "Two-tank." A few are inclined to speak flippantly of the ancient king and the Atlanta Journal suggests that he was a Two-tank-man who carried a flask on each hip. The Nwwberry Observer thinks this is a gross in justice to Tutankhamen, say.ng that his mummy was found in the "amen" corner. But tut, tut, they shouldn't speak like that. The discovery of the ancient tomb and its furnishings in an excellent state of preservation is really a triumph for archeology, something which has heretofore been of very lit tle interest to most of us. While the average person has been scoffing at archaeologists and imagining them to be old cranks and mossbacks en gaged in uninterestnig and useless work, this latest discovery of impor tance with its attendant publicity is causing a change iff the public mind as regards archaeology. And anybody who can take a 3,300 year-old mum my and some antique furniture and from a location in Egypt drive poli tics and murder mysteries from the front pages of American newspapers is anything else bh' a moss-bagk. The finding of King Tutankhamen's tomb is considered the greatest dis covery in the annals of Egyptology. The discovery was made by a Mr. Howard Carter, who had been d-gg^ng eight years without success. We are fold that Tutankhamen reigned for a few years about the middle of the fourteenth century B. C., that is nearly .'1,300 years ngo, and that his earthly carerr ended when he was about eighteen years old. lie whs buried in what is known as the* valley | of the tombs of the kings, where, | the tombs wore carved out of the liv i ,ng rock. These tombs are large af fairs of several chambers each and in th?* outer chamber of King Tut.'s tomb were found royal furniture, chariots nnd orhamentfi of priceless value. The chariots are inlaid with gold and precious stones, the furni ture is covered with gold foil, the de signs are the cosilicst known and there are priceless paintings. A great pile of old-looking l>oxes was found containing food for the king's delectation on his journey into the next world. And even in that eArly day there were robbers, for ynmis takable evidence has been found that the tomb was at one time broken into and a search made for valuables. The tomb was repaired and the doors closed again and sealed as is shown by the seals of a later king. After > ' v ?

HOUGH, Local Agent, Camden, S. C. * J thoroughly probing the outer chamber of the tomb the explorers have now opened the inner chamber \vhere we are told they are confronted with splendors which surpass even those of the ante-chambers and where is ex pected to be found the remains of the king. It is quite unusual for work of this kind to attract the world-wide inter est and attention ns has been caused by this discovery. The usefulness of information to be gained by the dis covery remains to be seen, but there is no doubt about the interest the entire world is taking in it, Ilambl'n Found Guilty. Anderson, Feb. 18. ?
