Those Alive May Survive.
Two hun !red and thirty miners
were entombed in shaft No. 2 of tlio
Stage Canon mines at Dawson, New
Mexico, when an explosion occurred
in the property at 3 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. Two men found on
an upper level were taken from
mine Wednesday night. Rescuers
were railed from all parts of the
Southern Colorado coal fields. The
day shirt working in shaft No. 2,
numbered 220. The cause of the explosion
is unknown.
Immediately after the explosion
all shifts were called to the work of
rescue and those miners who were
employed in other shafts were put to
work drilling through tho debris,
which was said to have blocked the
mine below the second level.
The United States rescue car, stationed
at Trinidad, Col., was summoned
and every available man in
Dawson Wednesday night was aiding
in the attempt to rescue the entimbed
miners. Representatives from the
mine d'd not state; at which level the
ex >lo:don occurred, but said that the
mine shaft was blocked from the
second level.
The cause of the explosion Is unknown.
Fire has not broken out,
though smoke was seen issuing from
tho second level of the shaft. It was
believed by rescuers that this came
from the explosion. By 10 o'clock
"Wednesday night the rescuers had
penetrated more than 100 feet into
the mouth of the mine and reached
five of the entombed miners, who
were alive, they had suffered much
from the gas and were in no condition
to tell what happened at the
time of the explosion. Immediately
on being brought to the surface the
men were given into the rare of physicians,
many of whom have arrived
from nearby towns.
Tn the relief camps situated several
yards from the entrance to mine
No. 2, are gathered the women and
children of the entombed miners'
families. They are cheered by the
knowledge that Superintendent McDermott
is among the main body of
imprisoned miners, as they have confidence,
as have mine officials, in the
superintendent's resources in such a
plight.
Relief parties from nearby towns
constantly are working and the number
of rescuers in Dawson is well into
the hundreds, all equipped with the
latest apparatus for combatting gases
and other dangers of mine explosions.
The rescue work is continuous. As
Otin irroun of wnrkertt i? Mrivon harU
for ait\ another takes its place. That
system is to continue until the la?t
of tho men known to have been
caught in the explosion shall have
been found.
A largo majority of the men entombed
are Italians. There is every
reason to believe practically all the
men entombed can be rescued, as
several means of escape aro offered
from mine No. 2, which is connected
with mine No. 5, by a tunnel driven
through the mountain, and al.50 connects
with an air shaft driven from
the top of the mountain down into
the mine. This air shaft is equipped
with steps and ladders upon which
the entombed men, if they aro able
to reach the shaft, can mako their
way to the top.
A dispatch from Tinidad, Col.,
says a special rescue train carrying
scores of experienced miners equipped
with rescue apparatus left Trinidad
at 3 o'clock for Dawson, N. M.,
shortly after news of tho explosion
was received. Dawson is more than
125 miles from Trinidad, over branch
line railroads, and it will be several
hours before the special train reaches
the scene." Two automobiles loaded
with five oxygen tanks and other
apparatus left Trinidad for Dawson,
approximately 90 miles distant, over
mountain roads.

is now lifting his voice whenever occasion
presents in denunciation of
the liquor tratlic and the men and interests
that are behind impure poli

an ablo man and splendid speaker,
and the forces of civil righteousness
pained a powerful ally when he joined
himself to their standard. The

Snowfall on Itecord.
Tennessee, North Carolina, Northern
Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina
Monday experienced tho earliest
snowfall in the recollection of
oldest citizens. After a week of comparatively
warm weather the temperature
began to drop Sunday and continued
to fall during the early morning
hours Monday. As far south ae
Atlanta the snow began to fall shortly
after two o'clock Monday morn- ,
ing. The precipitation continued intermittently
until after daylight, tit '
which time it had been noticed as far
south as Birmingham, Ala., and j
Athens, Ga. ,
According to records kept in the <
central oilice of tho weather bureau <
Monday's snowfall was tho. second
recorded in the month of October.
The first was experienced eight days
later in the year 1910.
That the states mentioned above
were generally blanketed by the ,
snow clouds is indicated from the reports
from different sections. In
South Carolina tho snow was noted
at Greenville, Union and Florence.
In Alabama the precipitation was
evident at Huntsvillo and Rirmingham.
Snow fell in several Georgia
lines aim towns, including Atlanta,
Augusta and Athens. Reports from (
Nashville and Chattanooga, Tenn.,
and Asheville, N. C., indicato that the
snow flurry was heavier in that section
than in the more southern states.

Sewage Disposal Solved.
The disposal of sewago is something
that has given great concern to
many cities. Of course when a large
city is situated on the hanks of a
large lake or river or by the side of
the ocean the que?tion is simple even
if in some cases there is danger of
pollution of water. But in large
cities differently situated the question
Is not so simple. That sewage
Is under certain conditions valuable
as a fertilizer Is well known but the
sludge or solid part of sewage has
not given very satisfactory results
because the fatty matter in it, due
chiefly to soap and kitchen refuse,
makes the soil to which it is applied
impervious to rain and air. For this
reason sewago could not ho used as
a fertilizer, as really under certain
conditions it would do more harm
than good.
I
This difficulty is now being orcrcome
in an economical way by the
application of a small percentage of
acid to . the dried sludge and subjecting
the sludge to the action of
superheated steam. This removes
the difficulty and the result is a ster- ,
ilized and inodorous brown power
that makes a valuable fertilizer.
This method is in successful operation
at Oldham, England, and scien- ,
title men are sanguine that in a short
time sewage so treated will prove an
invaluahlo fertilizer for tho farmer.
I
In many districts of New England
where farms have lost their fertility
and been abandoned it could be profitably
used to restore the fertility
and put the farms once more under
cultivation, especially as in very
many cases such farms are close to
the numerous cities of that region.
Hut not alone in New England
would such fertilizer prove a bless- ,
ing, if the assertions of the scientists
i
are borno out. In every part of the
country there are numerous farms
that are run down because for years
everything has beeu taken from the '
soil and nothing put back, and what
thoso farms need to restore their fertility
is fertilizing. If. then, this (
may bo done economically by tho ap- 1
plication of sewage treated as above
stated, a two-fold gain will result,
it will prove a source of revenue to
the city disposing of its refuse and it
will make for largo crops. This
treatment of sew ago will prove a
hlesing too to small towns that are 1
not located near a water course. 1
There are several such towns in this
section of flie State.

Five members of train crews and
seven passengers were seriously injured
in a head on collision between
a local north-bound passenger train
and a south-hound freight train, on
a sharp curve between Dixiana and
Gaston, about seven miles south of
Columbia on the Seaboard Air Line
Railroad Wednesday morning at 10:4
0 o'clock.
Seaboard local passenger train Xo
20 carrying a mail and express car,
a combination baggage and negro
coach, and a white coach, was rounding
a sharp curve between Dixiana
and Gaston when looming on tlie
track beforo it was second freight
No. 8 7 bearing down on them.
Engineer A. S. Bradford, of the passenger
and Engineer L. A. Powell, of
the freight, both blew tho distress

(heir firemen, who leaped for their
lives. The two engines met head-on,
the freight engine telescoping the
passenger engine, both being completely
demolished.
The combination express and mail
car rodo into the passenger engine,
breaking the car in two, and throwing

and Mail Clerk J. W. (Nottingham
through the bottom of tho car, they
rolling down tho embankment and
being severely Injured. The combination
baggage and colored coach
and the car containing white passengers
wero derailed but remained upright.
Kaggago Master J. E. Anderson
was thrown to tho floor and
trunks and other baggage piled up
around him, cutting his head and
faco and bruising him severely. A negro
brakeman of the freight train, A.
Hall, who was riding or the engine
jumped beforo the collision and sustained
internal injuries.
Right next to the engine of the
freight train was a car load o? cotton
ami this car was completely demolished.
Tho cotton piling up on the
track and acting as a bumper broke
tho impact and kept the balance of
the cars of the long freight train upright
on tho track, this being shown
by tho fact that just next to the cotton
car was a carload of merchandise
and right behind that a carload of
horses, and nnnn n f (ho?n /%oru l?f*

the impact. The tenders of hoth engines
were thrown from the track,
torn from their trucks and deposited
down the embankment a heap of
ruins.
Although hadly wounded, Baggage
Master Anderson crawled from his
battered car, and walked hack to
Gaston, three miles, and reported the
wreck,^wiring to Columbia for assistance.
Mr. Anderson's head was cut
and blood was flowing freely from
his wounds, hut he covered the three
miles in an increditably short ?pace
of time, and his heroic action brought
the news to Columbia.
As soon as Baggage Master Anderson
reached Gaston and the news was
wired to Columbia, a relief train with
physicians and carrying Railroad
Commissioners Richards and Hampton,
and Secretary Darby, left for the
wreck. The train had crossed Congareo
Creek, five miles south of Columbia,
when the eccentric strap on the
nnglne reversed the train and started
It running hack towards Columbia.
Kngineer D. C. Seldon was pinned to
(he cab. his jaw being broken. He was
also badly cut about the legs.
The train had got hack about 100
yards and was on the trestle when
the fireman, who at onco saw the
danger sprang to the throttle, and
brought the train to a stop. Tho engineer
was given medical attention
by physicians and a wrecking train,
which was following right behind
carried tho relief train on to the
wreck, whero the injured passengers
and trainmen were looked after
promptly.
All tlio passengers, those wound3(1
and those unhurt, and the woundrid
trainmen were brought hack to
Columbia. The accident at the Congareo
trestlo delayed the relief train
about an hour In reaching the wreck,
but. in that time passengers and train
men, assisted it is said, by a physician
from tlie country nearby and another
who happened to ho on the
train had made the wounded as comfortable
as possiblo.

Woolen garments and the flesh of

according to a report made by
scientific explorers who visited the
island. They found the huts and in
them the starved bodies of the former

clothing had been eaten by the
famished men, women, and children.
Mothers were found with their dead

was every indication that the flesh
had been eaten from the bones of
the less hardy of the starving fishermen.

When Philip Alexander, a white

refusal to pay his fare, was brought
before Magistrate Robert J. Gantt, of
Spartanburg, for trial Saturday, he
represented in broken English that
ho was a Russian, unfamiliar with
the language and customs of this
country. Magistrate Gantt sent for
a native of Russia, who runs a shoe
repairing shop, to act as interpreter.
It was then demonstrated that Alexander
could neither speak nor understand
Russian, German or a?
other languages of continental Europe.
When he saw that his "game"
would not work, he pleaded for clemency
in fluent and eloquent English.

SECRET MARRIAGE
Atlanta Couple Soon Learn Tliey
Ought Not to Hnvo W(h1, and So
They Apply for Divorce.
Lovo of the suhlimcst sort, sacrificed
without question to duty, has
been bared by the divorce cort at
Atlanta (la., forming ono of tho saddest
tragedies on record in the state.
Robert A. Harper, a prominent young
business man, and hi las Bertha
Dickenson, a society bud, are tho
principals in the drama. One hour
after the minister had united them
in marriage, the bridegroom surrendered
the bride forever ut the request
of her parents.
Only a few persons In the city
knew that Harper and Miss Dickencehad
been inirried, although tho
ceremony occured several months ago
The story filially was ma ie public
through the divorce court, in which
the parents of the bride asked tho
annulment of the marriage* an tho
ground of "incompatibility of temper.
"The broken-hearted groom even
testified at the trial in order that
his sorrowing bride could secure tlio
divorce that had been decided upon.
Harper told how he and Miss Dickenson
had been married, although the
love and devotion, were secretly married
several months ago. Within a
few minutes after the ceremony had
been performed, the bride's parents
obtained knowledge of it. and summoned
the pair to a conference.
What occured sit the conference no
one aside from Mr. and Mrs. Harper
and the hitters parents ever will know
but Harper told the Jury in the divorce
court that what he and his
bride learned sit tho time convinced
them that they ought not to have
mnrrififl
"We loved each other devotedly,
and still do," ho told the court, while
the tears rolled down his cheeks and
the Bohhing of his wlfe'w parents was
audible throughout the entire room.
"Hut 1 was convinced that it was for
her happiness to give her up, and her
welfare is of more Importance than
anything else in the world to mo.
So we parted after one hour of married
life."
There wore few dry eyes in the jury
hox after Harper had bared his broken
heart, and it was with a husky
voice that the judge, after commending
the young man for his actions,
gave Instructions to the 12 men who
decided the case. The jury granted
the divorce after a few minutes deliberation.

Canal Not Harmed by Quako.
Tho liability of the Isthmus of
Panama to earthquake shocks has
always been recognized and therefore

anxiety as to tho effect of such shocks
on the canal now nearing completion.
With many, especially with some of
the European governments, tho wish
has been father to the thought that
a heavy shock would work irreparable
damage to the canal and more
particularly to tho locks. On the
other hand, the constructors of the
work and people generally who are
conversant with conditions on the
isthmus have been conlldent that
locks and canal would stand without
appreciable damage any shock equal
to those sustained in former years.
The recent heavy quake proves
that they wore right for not even the
slightest damage resulted. A feeling
of relief and pride in tho stability
of the work now parvades tho nation,
and with that pride is associated
fullest confidence in tho engineers
and in tho ability of American contractors
and workmen to construct
tho most difficult undertakings. The
successful withstanding of the quake
will also inspire confidence in the
commercial and shipping world and
when tho big ditch is once open to
commerce it will unquestionably bo
tho great highway from Europe and
our Atlantic coast to the far east. It
will also enable tho United States to
assemhlo a largo fleet of naval vessels
in a short time on tho Pacific
coast.
The building of this canal Is an
undertaking of such tremendous proportions
that wo doubt If any nation
in tho world could have accomplished
It except tho United States. It has
cost many millions of dollars and
thousands of human lives, but these
things can not bo allowed to stand
in tho way of tho progress of the
world. This great canal means much
to this section of tho country in the
way of development and increase of
population. Charleston is several
hundred miles nearer to it than any
other port on this continent, and for
that reason the old city ought to take
on now lire, and become the metropolis
of tho South.
?
If extreme poverty on the one side
and extreme luxury on the other side
could be destroyed tho world would
bo a gainer. Theso two extemes are
very laregely responsible for the
mischief and vice that now exist. Tho
people who live and enjoy life between
these extremes are the great
eonsorvers of society.

The Abbeville Medium thinks that
a state-wide selection of grand Jurors
for Charleston county would do
more good than a state-wide collection
of funds. f
