NOTED TRIAL ENDED DR MILLER AND MRS. RAYLER CONVICTED OF » ECHOES FROM THE DEAD. Interesting Things Found in the St. Paul Coal Mine. “All alive 2 p. m.. Novemebr 14.'' This the latest message from the fa tal St. Paul coal mine fire was brought to light Monday at Cherry III., wltlf the recovery of 31 miners' bodies which had been entombed since the disaster of last November. The bodies were taken from the low est level, 500 feet below ground. The men had retreated to a space 20 feet square and had constructed a rude fan of board to keep the air circulating. On the fan in big let ters were chalked the words quoted above. Indicating that the men had lived at least until the day after the firs started. Evidently the men had taken turns at the crank of the fan, for one of the bodies had fallen over the handles as though he had died while struggling to maintain the air current. That the miners were in the habit Of keeping their savings on their per sons were shown by the large sums of money found on the bodies. One miner had in his belt $1,400. In the belt of another was found $190. and another had $172. • It was declared by the mine com pany's officers that all the nearly S00 miners killed by the disaster had been accounted for. A few bod es are still in the mine, but with in a few days, the mine will be cleared and ready for work. DEATH OF JUDGE HASKELL. A Gallant Soldier and Good Citizen > Passes Away. Judge A. C.

Lilly 'White Republican Party, to the Number of Fourteen, Make a Most Favorable Impression on tl»* Man of Dough in the White House. The white Republican pa ty of South Carolina, fourteen strong calj- od on President Taft Monday aTd re ceived the congratulations of the ad ministration on the general pul chritude of Us peraonel. Hack McGhee In his Washington letter to The State says at a formal meeting of the party Monday night, there was a spirited race for the most pulchritudinous gentleman, In which Col. Purcell, postmaster Oi Newberry, dominated the situation. With a strong tendency to in surgency on the part of Col. Tnomas Hester of Gaffney, and J. P. Little of Clinton, Col. Geo. H. Huggn s, postmaster of Columbia, Is a near insurgent, but will vote with th^ ci- ganlzatlon If only they will work for a new postofflce building in Col umbia. Mart Floyd takes his defeat with becoming grace, knowing that as he has the goods he is not wor ried over the poor Judgment uf his peers. The party, which Is under the leadership of Capt. John G. Capers, Is In Washington to make a forma! demonstration of the respectability of the Republican party in •'South Carolina. After a brief “audience” with the President, they were given a luncheon at the Metropolitan club, the most fashionable of such Insti tutions in Washington, by John Hays Hammond, chairman of the League of Republican Clubs of the United States. In the afternoon they visited, en masse Postmaster General Hitchcock, the political manager of the ad ministration, who received them with great cordiality and evidences of increased respect for the new Republicanism of South Carolina. President Taft was apparently well pleased at the looks of the par ty and was Intensely interested In their representations of the pros pects of Increasing their numbers In South Carolina. And the chairman of the League of Republican Clubs, John Hays Hammond, In lunching them at “so smart” a club as the Metropolitan, showed that he was not Indifferent to the charms of real pulchritude. Now there Is another hunch of fellows, which, at times, represent themselves as being the true ex ponents of Republicanism in South Carolina, the same being this Char leston bunch, composed of the Hon Harris, postniast+T, and the Hon Durant, collector, strongly indorced and sponsored by such personal friends of President Taft as the Hon. Hemphill, formerly of Charleston, now of Richmond, and sometimes known as the deacon, and the Hon Rhett, mayor Charleston, but these are simply buttlnsters. Maj. Hem phill is a Democrat; Rhett is a Dem ocrat, and Harris and Durand arc carpet baggers. The sure enough friends of the administration, the ones who are going to carry South Carolina for the Republican ticket next time, are the ones who called on the President. The fourteen are; John G. Capers of Greenville and Washington; C. J. Purcell of Newberry, W. M. Floyd — that's “Miart" you know—of Spartan- buns, Jas. E. Hunter of Union, Chas Dudley, J. F. Jenkins and Thomas Hester of Gaffney, Geo. H Huggins, Lawson 1). Melton and W. Boyd Evans of Columbia. I/eomas Blalock of Goldville, Allen D. Webster of Orangeburg, J. P. Little of Clinton and Charles Burns of Westminister. After the formal reception by Postmaster General Hitchcock. Cap ers and Blalock remained to talk ov er the situation. What was said is not known, but It is supposed that they talked over federal patronage and the general good of the Repub lican party in- South Carolina. There are several postmasters in South Carolina still unsettled, and something is to be done about them. Notable among these are those at Laurens and Union. James E. Hun ter is the son of Postmaster J. C. Hunter. Geo. McCravey of Laurens, whose appointment is also held up, was not present. But those who were are his friends. The others are not seeking anything for themselves They are in Washington solely in the Interests of the party and the country. Yet, of course, the post masters are taking this opportunity to put In a few licks for the im provement of their offices. Mr. Huggins is working in the in terests of the new building at Col umbia and other Improvements. Be fore he leaves he will confer with a somber of eongreastern whom- he hopes to Interest In the building ap propriation. Mr. Floyd Is working to get some needed ,improvements and exetnslons in the service at Spartanburg, and Mr. Webster has been putting In a few licks In favor of an Increase for the new building at Orangeburg.
