Six or Mo-e peop,e Killed.

An explosion OF nitroglycerine oc-
CURED at Cygnett, OHIO, Tuesday al
ternoon resulting in the death OF six
people whose names are known and
several whose names are at present
unknown. The explosion occurred at
the Grant we'll, located at the rear OF
the National Supply Company's office
building in the village limits. This
well had Just been shot by Samuel
Barber, the shooter for the o. and
Indiana Torpedo company. The well
was q gaser and when the 120 quarts
of elycerine vas let down in it ezplo-
ded, the gas ignited, and with a roar
tie flames shot high above the derrick.
As soon as The dcillers saw the tames
several climbed into the derrick to
shut cf the gas, but they had hardly
gotten there when there was terrltl 2
explosion. The burning gas had star
ted the remaining glycerine IN the
empty cans standing IN wagon near
the derrick. II another wagon near
by were cans containing 100 quarts OF
the stun. and this was started by the
force Of the first explosion. The sec,
ond was blended with the frs! IN q
mighty roar, and the town and sur.
rounding country for miles trem5led
from the shock. The National Supply
company's building was completely
demolished, and nothing remains but
a big hole where the wagons stood.
There is not q whole paue Of glass ii
anv window ia the town ana every
house and store was shaken. Who
the killed are cannot be learned.
Eight buildings are total wreck and
many Others damaged. The town has
a population OF about 1900 Many

ply showed their ignorance OF the pro-
visions OF that amendment TO the al
ready existing Wilson law; but with
that exception the dispersary question
did not ia any way enter into the
campaign. What figure it may cut in
Tlllman's future campaigns it is for
the future 10 say.
Cd Prof. Galphin, who was the
most famous educator OF South Caro-.
liua before and following the war, and
whose fame extended throughout the
South vas wo1t to brse greatly of the
famous public men who had received
their education at his hands. It was a
long list Of Senator'S and Governors
and leaders of the old regime, and he
had good right to be proud OF the
names. But" he would always add,
'.the snartest boy ever had is living
on farm in Edgeield county. His
name is Ben Tillman
McL,urin's splendid victory is
handsome endorsement for Gov. Ell
lerbe, who appointed McLaurin to fill
the place made vacant by the death Of
Senator Earle. He was able to make
high class appointment and at the
same time confer an honor on friend,
and was naturally deeply interested in
McLaurin's success.
TIE Senator's physical breakdown
undoubtedly made him many votes.
The character Of the fight that was be-
ing made on him was understood by
the people, and that desire to see fair
,lay which is so strongly inbedded in
the heart OF every Southerner created
feeling in his behalf with many peo-
ole who bad been Indifferent as to the
result. When he fell, aud it was seen
that his life had been endangered by
this priz, fight, campaigning, his op
ponents came in for muca criticism.
Just now there is muca discussion OF
knock-down-and drag out campaign
ing which has been SO long il vogue
ia South Carolina, and if there is any
substance to what is being said now,
that style of campaigning is doomed.
Certain it is that the man who resort.
ed not only to misrepresentation, but
to the lowest of mud-slinging aud VII
liication. were turned down; he who
conducted clean cam paign, using the
weapons OF the others only when ab.
solutely necessary in sslf-cefence, was
honored.
South Carol;na has seen much OF
this ca u paigning in the past. The
fashion is to charge it all up to Till
manism, but these methods far ante
date Tillnap, and q knowledge OF that
fact makes toe predic i>n that the end
is in sight rather hazardous one.
Just no. the people are talking that
way. Tee joint debates were slimty
attended and there was no such inter:
est in mud Singing and hurting OF
epithets that there has been IN other
campaigns. Sill this tendency to-
| ward peace is probably temporary.
There are men here willing to proph-
esy that the end OF such campaigning
is in sight, but the millennium has
not been reached, and these prophets
will probably forget all about 1t Oy
next year.
However, one thing is certain. II
