DAYS SPENT UNDERGROUND I ? iiiteaaee Explorer Emerge* From Imprisonment in C'merit i haitariooga, Tenn., Auk 21.?Digging hih way out with u small army trench ahovel which he always carries on his cave trips, L. S. Ashley, Nick-a-Jack cave guide and geologist, i etur ncvl at U:.'10. o'clock this morning to a world thut had virtually given him up dead. Ashley told of being imprisoned by tuna ui loose earth, of wandering two days in search of water for his carbide lamp ajui of finally finding his way out through a small exit not known to exist before. He went into the cavern early lust Monday morning and when he emerged today estimated he had covered close to seventy miles. Ashley's story was doubted by O. I . Pile, chief State mine inspector, who hadn't relitshed the idea of going into the cave for the lost explorer in the first place. When he saw Ashley he expressed doubt as to the existence of the tpiknown exit and told the geologist he would have to be ahown. He returned to Nashville, however, glad the job was finished and that he could once mora return to the comforts of civilization. Ashley told Pile he hadn't sent for him in the first place and that if he had anything to do with it, he would have trusted the search to the natives. He said he would be glad to take the inspector to the exit aa soon as he has rested a bit ^from his gruelling experiehces. As generally thought, Ashley went into the cavern to explore the secret passage which he had discovered a few weeks ago. "That was my undoing," he said. I should have left it alone, because it has little water and is too hard to get into ever to %e of any interest to tourists. "Ever since I have been exploring this cave I have always left a little food here and there, just for suck an emergency as this. You newspaper hoys were wrong about me being foodless and lightless. I had plenty of food to last a week or so, due to ray forethought. I also had another lamp in addition to the ones they found, and a big can of carbide. My only trouble was finding water. "I was exploring around in this new cave and had come to a steep descent, probably seventy feet. Being equipped with a heavy pack and having trouble seeing, I thought to place a candle on a rock to light my way down. I clambered up to get to the ledge and started a side of loose earth. It went down with a ,roar like thunder and completely filled the small entrance through which I had been forced to crawl on my stomach. "Of course my heart sank, for I didn't know anything about that part of the cave. At first, I thought I could dig my way through with my shovel, but soon saw I couldn't. "I saw I was in a gypsum cave the high ceiling being covered with this white foamy substance.- As this forms only in dry sections I knew there was no water near, so I realized I would have to hunt for water to keep my light going, as light is the mo$$ important thing in cave work." Afhley told how he walked and walked through the cave in search of a stream. Occasionally he was lured on by a tiny drip, but found it too slow to answer his purpose. Finally he became exhausted. He thought that was Tuesday. He lay down to sleep, and when he awoke several hours later imagined he heard the sound of water. Searching for some time, he finally found a small stream and filled his carbide lamp, which had about gone out. "While I was filling my lamp I lighted a small bit of candle to see. Sitting there, I casually noticed the flame bend over. You can't imagine . how this cheered me, for I knew an air current was near and that might mean an exit," he said. * Ashley then went 'forward with re, newed hope and soon managed to make out a flicker of light. It was a small opening, probably two and a "half feet wide, but only eight or ten inches highp Ashley had only his pocket knife with him for when he had been entrapped he had left the entire pack so as not to be encumbered in his search for water. The roof of the cave here was solid rock and the floor was sand and dirt packed almost as hard as rock. It didn't yield much to his knife, so he determined that the only thing to do was to retrace his way to the place and get the shovel. It must have been twelve miles from where he was entombed to the tiny exit, Ashley thought. At gny rate, he said, it took him ail day" to make the trip and part of the night, However, he hurried, for he realized his invalid mother in Bloomington 111., would be worried and the folks at Shellmound probably searching foi him. After securing his pack h< took but little rest, for he was in a hurry to get back to the stream o: water and begin .digging out. He es timates that he got back to the exit Friday night. He could see no light through the opening, but could hear ..the insects outside and knew he was at the right place. Here came the only time when the cave guide was really frightened, he said. As he was crawling I through this part of the cave, he came upon two animals. In his ex; citement he thought it was a mother > wild cat and its young. The young i one came toward him and he beat it \ off with his shovel. Much to hit f surprise the old one didn't attack so he quickly retreated to await dawn. 1 " -- ~ i\mmmmmmiiewBBssg22!2s?~s~ MlftACTLOl,8 escape I W hm Wootan U Struck li> Lightuiug at Charlotte | Charlotte, N.

C , late tojda> narrow !y use aped death with only a few f|t..sh wounds and a shocked nei vous condition. Mis. Lanier, wife of the Ke\. \N . E. Lanier, who formerly was pastor of the Seventh Day Adventlst church here, is visiting Mrs. CJattis while her husband is assisting in constructing the encampment for the camp meeting of that denomination which begins here soon. Late in the afternoon Charlotte was deluged by a torrential rain, accompanied by thunder, terrific winds and lightning bolts which darted earthward at frequent intervals. Mrs. I^anier, sitting on the bed was struck by the bolt which rent her clothing, ripped the bedding and mattress and tore off the foot of the bed. Physicians attending het,.^onight characterized her escape from fatal injury as a "miracle." She was reported resting well tonight, though still suffering from shock. Traffic was disrupted in downtown Charlotte during the storm. A woman fainted on a street car while others broke down and sobbed hysterically. Vehicular traffic was unsafe without headlights, due to leadened skies which threw the city almost in darkness. Opposing Muddy Water Clemson College, Aug. 22.?Muddy streams will carry away the finest fertility of . many a South Carolina farm this winter, simply because the farmers have not taken the precaution of covering it with a green blanket of small grain or cover crop or rye and vetch, oats and vetch or Austrian winter field peas.South Carolina winters are almost as good as summers for growing crops, and yet they are entirely wasted. South Carolina farms are notably iaw and lacking |n humus or decayed animal and plant matte*-, the constituent which makes the soil dark and easily tilled. That is a large reason why these soils wash so easily and "join the brimming river," making expensive and troublesome terraces necessary. This is one reason why the plant food has disappeared. A pound of humus holds seven and a half times as much moisture as a pound of sandy loam soil and will hold it three and a half times as long. A pound of humus will hold four times as much moisture as a pound of clay and will hold it twice as long. So, rich, dark soil can absorb more water during a rain and *" pre\ ent it rushing over the ground and washing ditches. And rich dark soil will still hold moisture in dryweather when sandy loams and clays have become parched. Of all the food elements in the soil, 95 percent of the nitrogen, about 30 percent of the phosphoric acid and 12 percent of the potash are held by humiis. So if there is little humus, surely the amounts of these and other minerals that the soil is capable of containing is small; thus: unproductive soils. Most farmers have time now or soon, to prepare land for winter crops. Cover crops of , oats and vetch, rye and vetch or winter field peas can , be planted at little cost, will get the benefit of the winter growing season, and if turned into -the ground next spring will add great stores of humus, without disabling the land for the customary cash crop, f The tuna fish was not originally hunted for food but as a means of protecting the sardine interests of the Mediterranean, as the UttJe fiih were devowed In Urge quantities by the tuna. f Red tape, An expression signifying official formality and delay, owes its origin to the red tape usually employed in tying up public documents.

There being only one such feather in each wing, 3,600 woodcocks were required to make the fan. r PRESCRIPTIONS The confidence our cus-1 turners have in our prescription service has been built up by years of painstaking: effort.
