A Wonderful Memory.
One of the most interesting inci
cl?>nts of the Senate tariff debate in
Washington has been the speech by
Senator Gore, of Oklahoma, who is
totally blind, says the Saturday Evening
Blade.
In reply to Senator Lodge's speech
raising a question as to figures submitted
a few weeks ago by Mr. Gore
purporting to give the earnings of
certain cotton and woolen mills in
New England, the Senator from Oklahoma,
with no assistance except his
memory, quoted complete statistics
and without the slightest hesitation,
giving the capital stock, surplus, percentage
of dividends and the percentage
of net earnings of perhaps fifty
different corporations in New England.
It showed an immense amount of
labor in preparation, but the womjer|
ful tiling about it was the showing
of such a retentive memory.
It appears that Mrs. Gore reads
to her blind husband everything he
calls for and he seldom has to have
a passage repeated. Facts and figures
are indelibly impressed upon
his mind, and no Senator with two
good eyes can present, statistics so
forcibly and accurately. No wonder
the Senators were amazed at his arguments,
but more amazed were
they by the blind Senator's phenomenal
memory. Senator Gore would
make a good witness in any kind of
court.

MINERS KILLED
SKVKNTBKN OF T1IKM IX)ST
Til Kilt LIYKN IN A MINK
In Pennsylvania by the Kvplosion
of (.'as Due to I gn it ion From u
Miner's Lamp.
As the result of an explosion of
gas in mine No. 4. of the Lucka
wanna Coal and Coke Company
k shortly after 7 o'clock Wednesday
morning seventeen miners were killed
and sixteen injured. With the exi
ception of one, those killed were
, foreigners. With few exceptions
those injured were Americans . it
was stated that all the injured probably
would recover.
Superintendent Johnson stated
that while the mine has always been
regarded as non-gaseous, the explosion
was due to the ignition of a
pocket of gas by the open lamp of
a miner.
The mine has only been opreatitu:
two days each week, Tuesday and
Friday. Those in the mine had enj
tered the shaft for their daily al
l Jowance of coal for family use.
Grouped al>out the slope entrance
of the mine just before the explosion
wore several Italians.
When the terrible subterranean
upheaval of rock and gas spouted
skyward, these Italians were caught.
Terribly burned and maimed they
rushed about the settlement crying
for aid.
The tlrst man to reach the surface
was A. L. Johnson, son of the superintendent.
He is one of the few very
seriously injured.
Superintendent Johnson called for
volunteers to enter the mine. In
the volunteer ranks stood several
women. These were ordered back.
With wet handkerchiefs tied over
their faces the first squad of the
relief party started down the shaft.
Of the eight who started four came
back with their senses. The others,
overcome with black damp, were pulled
to surface with ropes.
A second and a third party entered
only to be driven back by the deadly
gases, hissing and shouting in the
lower levels.
Oxygen, sent by the Cambria Steel
Works, aided the searchers, and with
safety helmets, a fourth rescue party
succeeded in bringing twelve bodiea
to the surface. Late in the afternoon
five more bodies were recovered.
They were found huddled together
in the lower left heading, where
they had died in an evident effort to
reach the main shaft.
HICCLMIW TO INJURIKS
Received in Auto-Trolley Kw?sh l'p
Nc?r Bolton.
A dispatch from Anderson says
the death of the Rev. I). D. Richardson,
which occurred at a hospital
here, where he was brought soon
after the accident, makes him the
second victim of the automobile- '
trolley car collision, nine miles east
of here yesterday. His skull was
fractured and he never regained consciousness.
The body was taken to
Simpsonvllle, near Greenville, for ,
interment, accompanied by Mrs.
Richardson, who was also injured,
and who had since been here with
her husband. Mr. Richardson was
thirty-six yenrs old, and pastor of
the Second Haptist church, of the
Helton and Gluck mills church here.
They had no children. A telephone
message from Ninety-Six said that
the condition of the Rev. K. A. McDowell,
another of the injured, is
very satisfactory.
SNAKK IN llKF.lt.
Poison Hcet* Kills Kight Italians
Who Drank It.
Kight Italian laborers on the
Pinew Creek branch of the Chesapeake
and Ohio railway, near Raleigh,
Ya., are dead following a wild
debauch with n barrel of beer. The
beer had been set up in their shack
in the mountains and later the men
were found dead. The barrel was
taken out and emptied and a large
rattlesnake was found in the bottom
of it. It is presumed that the snake,
i 11 its death agonies, injected enough
of the poison into the beer to kill
the men who drank of it.
CH1NKSK MISSION AT DISCO! XT

WIFK AI IK JULLKD
While at Work iji c FichI \rjr a
Mini Who Succeeds ia His
K scape.
A special dispatch from Adrian,
('.a., to the Atlanta Journal says that
while at work in tho field adjoining
their home Wednesday morning, Geo.
Howell and his wife were shot to
death by Robert Jenkins.
Jenkins used a shotgun for his
deadly work, and is said to have come
upon the couple unawares. Raising
his gun he fired one barrel at Howell,
killing him instantly.
Hardly before bho realised what
had happened, Howell's wife wan fired
upon by Jenkina with the other
barrel. Like her husband, she was
killed outright.
Immediately after killing the
couple Jenkins made his escape.
The firing of tho shots attracted
the attention of neighbors and a
large crowd gathered.
Roth Mr. Howell, who is a farmer,
and his wife, aro highly respected
by their neighbors, and when they
learned of tho tragedy they were
greatly aroused.
Within a few minutes tho men of
the neighborhood had formed a
posse, procured bloodhounds and are I
now in pursuit of the alleged murderer.
The cause of the killing cannot be
ascertained. It is known, however ;
that Howell and Jenkins had not ;
boon on good terms for some time,
and it is believed that the tragedy
was the result of some previous dispute.
Adrian is a small village in the :
western part of Kmanuel county.

Medical Heroic] Tells of Some Kxperimerits.
Forty-five persons who have dic^d
recently form the basis of a most
remarkable report on bringing the.
dead hack to life, according to tho
New York Medical Record. Of the
theory of manipulating tho heart by
the hand, seventeen patients were resuscitated,
nine with complete recovery.
The remaining eight died after
a short time.
Forty of the cases treated are said
to have been due to the anaesthetic
administered. Tho report says that
in each instance Immediately after
death ensued, or not more than five
minute afterward, the chest was
opened and the heart was given a
direct application of manual massage.
"After the chest cavity has been
opened, the hand is forced in and
the heart Is grasped, and pushing
toward the interior thoracic walls,
according to the Medical Record,
"and the ventricles aro squeezed
rhythemically at about normal beats.
Sometimes fifteen minutes elapse before
any response is obtained. During
all the time assistants should
be busy with artificial respiration,
saline and adrenalin infusions,
tongue traction, intubulation or
trachneotomy and elevation of pelvis
and legs."

Other Facts.
According to figures by Commissioner
Watson the 1908 cotton trap
was 1,2 42,012 running bales, including
linters and sea island or, properly,
exclusive of linters 1,215,343
bales, comprising 8.8 per oeut of tbe
cotton tinned in the United fHatcs.
The production exceeded that in 3 907
by 52,991 bales. South Carolina
has now fallen to filth place, her
'fourth place attained in 1907 being
taken by Alabama. it is estimated
by Mr. Watson that there are 3,383
bales still unginned. The average
weight per balo was 4 83 pound*
against 4 8 1,2 pounds in 1907. Bea
island bales weighed oh the average
351.S pounds and linters 470 b
pounds.
The South Carolina son inland
sold in 1908 at an average of 23.39
cents per pound, while that grown
in Georgia and Florida averaged
17.92 cents. In 1900 South Carolina's
average price was 3G.70 cents,
and in 1907 35.5 cents, these being
the best prices since 1901. This
year it was lower than in 1902 or
in any year in the seven year yield.
The South Carolina crop was ginned
in 3,4 81 ginneries, about the average
number.
The aggregate value of the South
Carolina crop was $61.90 4.522.
against $72,607,817 lu 1907 and
$40,8 88,010 iu 1006. The 1908 Crop
was tho most valuable In money th?
Stat<? has ever had save the two
crops of 1007 and 1005.
According to Mr. Watson, of artual
cotton linters the total valuator
1008 was $52,3 29,480, representing
553,762,49 1 pounds of upland
worth $51,167,654, 4,967,1 90 pounds
of B?*a island, worth $1,161,826.
Of cottonseed there were 621,669
pounds, worth $9,635,042, the largest
value since 1901 with the exception
of the 190 7 crop.
The acreage was the largest i?
the history of the State?-2,545.6^0,
the next largest being 2,531,8 75 In
1904. Since 1 904 more than 2,000.000
acres, have been regularly planiccl

Calhoun was cut from Orangeburg.
Spartanburg, Marll>oro, York, Marion
and Greenville, Darlington aa-.l fhim i*r

The stocks on hand in South Carolina
on March 1 amounted 'o 4 2"?,7
63 bales, of which 230,429 were i*
the hands of the manufacturers and
126,285 in independent warehouses,
including compresses. The rest was
in the hands of transportation companies.
The mills of the State are consuming
7 93,396 bales of cotton annually,
turning out product worth about
$77,000,000.
The yield per acre in 1908 in the
State was 219 pounds, versus a 10year
average of 189.
It is estimated that the acreage
planted this year ( 1 909) is 2,498.000
against 2,645,000 in 1909, but
the real acreage is probably about
the same as last. year.
Cotton on March 1, 1 908, *&
bringing on the average in South
Carolina 9.2 cents while at the same
date the preceding year it was bringing
the average price of 11 cents.
Mr. Watson in making the estimate
has issued the following statement.
"In making the 1 908 estimate for
the Association of Southern Commissioners
of Agriculture as early as
November 21 I used the liguree furnished
by each Southern commissioner,
while mentioning the fact tbat
if conditions after that date remained
the same as to the picking and
ginning as the average for the preceding
four seasons we ought to have
a crop of at least 13,334,157 bales.
Assuming that tho conditions gave
every estimate on the dat? named
at 12,551,086 running bales, exclusive
of linters, or including linters,
at practically 13,000.000 bales?to
be exact 1 2,897,2 1 2 bale*. The
actual crop exclusive of 1 inters with
everything accounted for was 13.
oab.uub bales, under which our November
estimate fell f>34,919 bale*.
This difference is almost exactly accounted
for by the underestimates
furnished the committee from the
four States of Georgia, Texas. Arkansas
and Alabama, which wo wished
to but did not feel authorized to
raise. Had we done so we would
have struck the final crop almost
to a bale."
Concerted effort Is to be made at
the New Orleans convention of the
Rrotherhood of Railway Clerks to
secure next year's meeting for Memphis,
Tenn.
