STEAMSNtPS FOR CHARLESTON < Al.lt < ?UM V VI HC (OMI'A NN IO M VKI 1 11 \T CITY A TKK.MIM S. la Addition to Prewrnt \d vantage* It ". v. - i.nui i'roinU' of future l?u \? lupiut nt of the ?'ort Charleston. Oct. 10.?The Califor? nia-Atlantic Steamship company haa determined to make Charleetor one af lie termini and the first veajel of the Una will arrive here, Inaugurating Ihn ?fsarlea, In the first week In De? cember The steamer will bring a large cargo of salmon, and canned Ash will probably constitute the main cargoes to chnrleaton from the Pa cthc coast. At present the California-Atlantic Steamship company operates vessels along the Pacific coast, shipping goods hy rail across Panama and thnce by line of steamers to New York. The company has decided to enlarge upon this service by putting oa vessels between Colon and Char? leston and Colon and New Orleans. The idea appealed to the steamship offciala that New Orleans would prove of value for the distribution of gulf freights and Charleston for the freight* of the Southeastern States, leaving New York line to handle only the Eastern or Northern business. Of particular value to Charleston la getting this new steamship line at this time Is the fact that It foreshad? ows greater thlnga along this same line. In the opinion of those conver? sant with the situation. While the freights of one ocean are transported to the other over the railroad at the present time, when the Panama canal Is completed the all-water route will displace the combination water aad land service and the big steam? ers will sail from the waters of Charleston harbor directly down the Atlantic and through the canal to the Pacific, returning by the same route. The canal la generally ex? pected to give a great stimulus to 04.1'merce with Central and South American countries and with a line ef steamers already in operation, Charleston stands the chance of hav? ing the existing line enlarged and Improved and other lines establish? es], so that the prospects sre now very encouraging and the announcement of the establishment of the new line will be pleasing news to the business Interests of the port. Some time ago there was talk of the establishment of a mall servlee between Charleston and Panama, which was expected to be developed Into a freight line, but the parties operating the line out of New York to Colon were not dlapoaed to give Charleston any show and prevailed upon the government not to attempt the proposed mall service between Charleston and Panama, which would require the stopping of the steamers la Charleston. The new line Is better than a mere mall line. Back of the proposition making Charleston one of the termini of the California-Atlantic is the be? ginning of the importation of salmon la direct cargo lots by H. Q. Leldlng several years ago. The first cargo that one of the vessels of the line will bring to Charleston will be one of more than 50.0 ?0 esses, consigned to Mr. leldlng. The sgenta of the line will be Street Ilroa. The nsigneea of the new steam? ship ?lne are hopeful of full coopera? tion on the part of the business peo? ple for return cargoea The opportu? nity la offered to the cotton mills of the State to ship their products to Charleston and send It to the coast of California for direct shipment to Chui i au I Japan Th.- M-rvlee prom? ises tne best that the cotton mills have ever had and the mill men will pggjtnblv be <|ul< k to take advantage of It. The trip from Charleston to Colon can bs made In live .lava and the co?t<?n goods can l e easily placed In Hm 1'raneln <> within three weeks from date of shipment, making a service e<juallv as fast.

I pl.M'Opal I)rl(^iHt> Discuss Various Pro(?o?nlH ? Canons on Wfjdtock ami Divorce, Name or Church und Mi-vi.,1, Subjects Tukon Up. Cincinnati. Oct. 10.?Resolution? ami amendments calling for the changing of the name of the church, reorganising of the board of missions, a general overhauling of the methods of examination at the seminaries and the question of revising the church canons regarding marriage and di Vorce were under discussion at to? day's meetings of the triennial con? vention of the Protestant Episcopal church in session here. After the house of deputies had finished discussing the work among the Jews, the house of bishops issued a decree stating that Jews converted to the Episcopalian faith might con? tinue the Jewish rites, festivals and ceremonies of their forefathers as historical and racial traditions, pro? vided they do it as a matter of morality or for sanitary reasons, but not as a matter of religion. Marked changes in the missionary canon concerning the work of the board of domestic and foreign mis? sions was proposed to the house of deputies by George Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia. Instead of 4 5 mem? bers of the board being elected in convention the change calls for 21 te be elected in convention and 24 by missionary councils. Instead of the work of the board of missions being directed by the gen? eral secretary and the president, the latter being the presiding bishop, it is proposed that it be conducted by a president to be elected and four secretaries. A resolution was also offered In the house of deputies that recognition of the fact that the Episcopal church is part of the Holy Catholic church be put on the title page of the book of common prayer. Both of the resolutions will be taken up for final settlement later. Rev. Joapeh D. Carey of Saratoga Introduced a resolution asking for a commission to arrange for the cele? bration In 1911 of the 300th anni? versary of the first publication of the King James version of the Bible. In memorial to the house of dep? uties. Atlantic City asked for the next convention, which will take place three years hence. Shortly before adjourning the house of bishops passed the resolu? tion directing that the territory of the dlocene of ^ittsburg be cut up into two dioceses. This action was taken earlier in the day by the house of deputies. DR. WILSON PLEASES PEOPLE. Nominee for (Governor of New Jersey Makes Able Speech. Columbia. Oct. 11.?The fact that Dr. Woodrow Wilson, Democratic nominee for governor of New Jersey, is making a splendid campaign is naturally gratifying to South Caro? linians, where he lived for several' years and where now he has several relatives. Newspapers in dozens of States have commented on the fact that Dr. Wilson Is giving the citizens of New Jersey a class of oratory and discussion of issues that are mostly read about and not actually seen In the days of "pleasing platitudes." I ?r. Wilson wants to be governor of New JeTSSy very had, but It Is noted that he Is not promising to cure all the ills to Which politics is heir.

WATCHERS BY KTKAKVILLE PIT IN DEEPEST GLOOM, Searching Party Stumbles Out of Death Hole, Tludr Effort* Having Proved Vaiu. Strakville, Col., Oct. 10.?As dark? ness settled tonight over the entrance to the Starkville mine, the hope that had buoyed up the watchers at the pit mouth throughout the day that some of the 50 or more men entomb j ed there would be found alive grew faint and gloom settled again over the silent crowd. This morning the exports at the head of the rescue party were confi? dent that some of the men walled up by Saturday night's explosion were alive. They believe the portable fan, forcing pure air into the workings, would keep the men in the extreme southern portion of the mine alive until they could be reached, but as the day resuce party stumbled slowly out of the stope tonight one glance at their faces told the watchers that hope was almost vain. After a day of hard work in the face of constant peril, the rescue party penetrated the workings nearly 12,000 feet, or within 200 feet of the men imprisoned nearest the main en? trance. Instead of finding the mine clear of debris and afterdamp, at this point the workings were found to be badly wrecked and polslonous gases were again encountered. The leaders would not consent to the rescuers going further until sufficient fresh air had been fanned Into the mine to insure safety. It was decided to retreat to the open, leaving the portable fan going until the Inner portion of the mine was freed of deadly afterdamp. Throughout the day the rescue party pushed forward with extreme care, lest it should be suddenly over? whelmed with bad air. After passing the point across cuts, which connects the old and the new slopes, which was used as the main haulage way, the party came up to a cave-in, plainly indicating the course of the explosion. Ten thousand feet from the en? trance, the place where a fan had been operated before the explosion was badly damaged. The fan was torn to pieces and scattered. The 1,200 pound motor had been thrown 50 feet from Its bed. The party was compelled to stop and make repairs. When the rescue party renewed its Journey inward it branched off for a short distance and then took a south? erly course toward the spot where the pick men were supposed to have been working Saturday night. Reconnolterlng parties were se? lected from the main party and sent ahead to test the air. These parties reported that afterdamp was notice? able In all the short cuts and als?) in the main stope. General Manager Weathlel was given this information by portable telephone and ordered the men out of the mine until air could improve. All day long the hills facing the mine wer?- dotted with women and children waiting for the news of the entombed men. As the silent nods of the rescuers denoted that no bodies hatl been found mothers gathered their little ones and s?'ttled to wait and watch through the night. TEDDY WOULD RUN,?IF?

Atlanta, Go., Oct. 10.?"By George, If I thought l could carry a single Southern State, l won id willingly run for the presidency." Col, Roosevelt made that state? ment In Atlanta Saturday, it was I? arned today, In the presence of Mayor Muddox and other members of the reception committee which es? corted him through Atlanta's crowd? ed streets, As t1"- procession moved along the streets with the i oloni l bowing his acknowledgement! to the thousands on either side, Mayor Maddux told Mr, Roosevelt r hi : he h id lived m Atlanta .>'I his lifo und the ?Towd was the largest he hud ever seen massed on tin streets on any occa? sion.

Press Comments Adversely on Meet* ing of "Lily-whites." Columbia. Oct. 11.?Capt. John Q. Capers' call for a convention of those sympathising With the princi? ples of the Republican party does not seem to be meeting with favor? able comment on the part of thv press of South Carolina. Captain Ca? pers has himself been aligned with so many elements of the Republican party that he has placed himself in much the same position as the leo? pard?and it is difficult to conceive by what process that Captain will become a "lily-white." It is noted that the Republican party has too many things to its dis? credit in South Carolina for it to soon be a factor in the politics of the State. In the upper section of the State there are even fewer Republi? cans than in the central or lower section, and a good many Democrats will have to change their faith before the organization could poll a few thousand votes. Past conditions in South Carolina may be said to have been similar to these in North Carolina, and in that State the Republicans are answering for their sins of 1868. If the people would forget, the politicians will not let them, and recruits art added very slowly. Every now and then a Jonah enters the Held in that State, prevents them from reaping the benefits of any division in the opposition. Mr. Marion Butler Is at present the heavy load that the Republicans are shouldering in North Carolina. GOOD ROADS LEAGUE. An Important Meeting to Be Held in Aikcn. Columbia, Oct. 11.?Col. James CosgTove, president, calls a meeting of the South Carolina Good Roads ind Drainage league to be held Nov. 2nd at Alken. This is In acceptance of the Invitation extended by Aikcn it the meeting in Charleston July 12 13, when the league was formed. Each county club Is entitled to one delegate for every block of ten. Member:-' names should be sent at once to Secretary E. I. Reardon at FJumter. Important action toward shaping the policy of the league will be taken. SEABOARD ENTERS FLORENCE. Necessary Guarantee Has Been Made By Citizens?The Terms. Florence, Oct. 10.?The city of Florence has guaranteed to the Sea? board Air Line all that they have asked as a condition to extend their road to Florence. Mr. Bonsai, who rs the promoter of the extension, has been for some time In communica? tion with prominent and representa? tive citizens of Florence and he re? cently submitted, through Senator J. W. McCown, a proposition that the road would be brought here from Darlington if the city of Florence would give a site of 1,000 feet for a depot, right of way for one mile into the city and out of it in the direction of Georgetown or the Pee Dee river and right of way through the city over the streets or otherwise. City council considered the matter at a meeting just held and authoriz? ed the clerk to write M \ Bonsai that his proposition was accepted and that Florence would do all that was reasonable to aid in the enterprise. A committee, consisting ol* J. \V. McCown. J. L, Barrlnger and E. F. Douglaa, was appointed to secure options on the right of way and on a depot site. This committe has al? ready secured the greater part of what is asked, finding the people very ready to ait' In getting the new railroad that Is so much needed here. The expense to the city of the grants required will be about 000 and a special election will be called soon to authorise the appro? priation of that sum by the city for this work. Florence will not have to Issue bonds for the purpose, but will Just have to temporarily suspend some of the work on permanent Improvements In the city, There will be no objec t >n t<. that, as the coming of the road will add so much to the taxable property of the city and county, not to speak of the other advantages for the commercial in? terests of the whole people. The new Seaboard depot will probably be erected on the site of the old bicycle track and park, which Is just on the edge of the city, and a spur track Will be run up Front street to Irby, when! storage warehouses will be built.
