information obtained by the Intelli-
gencer from the most reliable and trust
worthy sources Is to the effect that there
will be no strike among the West Vir-
glnla miners, in spite OF the confident
feeling ON the part of the officials of the
United Mine Workers that the men In
this state win follow the action taken
by their fellow worltmen in other sec
tions OF the country. The situation Is
clearly summed up IN the following dis
patches TO the Intelllgencer from the
Kanawha, New River, Fiat Top, West
virginia Central and Falrmont regions:
FAIRMoNT, w. Va, July From
numerous sources OF information the
Indications are that there Will be no
trouble In this region over the miners
strike All the mines are running as
usual with the old employees, and no new
men nre being brought in. The ship
ments here are all to regular customers
and no orders have been received from
outside parties.
PIEDMONT, W. Va, July 1.-THE
miners are all at work along the West
Virginia Central, and Georges creek,
and appear to be satisfied. There Is no
disposition to strike. No one here be-
lieves they will come out judging by the
past and present outlook. The miners
here Will make hay while the sun
shines" by remaining at work.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, July 7.-No
apprehension is felt among coal people
here that the strike Will extend any
where In this section. Reliable reports
OF the situation in the KanRwhR and
New river regions Justify the assertion
that there will be no strike In the ter
ritory named.
Chief Mine Inspector j. W. Paul. who
has Just returned from run over the
Kanawha region says there appears no
tendency whatever among the miners
to strike. The operators are adding 10
their forces, new orders for coal arc
coming In, and the miners seem well
content with the situation and the pros.
poets for increased activity In tho mines.
In the New river region the miners are
not even considering the prospect OF
striking and expect TO continue at work,
no matter what happens elsewhere. A
labor leader who has been all over the
mining regions OF these section, shid To-
day, privately, that there was no chance
of any strike and he had abandoned the
idea Of any Of the miners in the section
named Joining In the strike at any time.
BLuEFIELD, W. Va, July There
is no trouble here and none is appre-
hended among the miners in the Flat
Top field. A number OF agitators who
have startad for this field will get the
cold shoulder.
FAYETTE, W. Va, July 1.-THE indi-
cations are that there will be no strike
in the New river valley. So far all OF
the mines are at work where they have
orders, and the men do not feel disposed
TO join the strike. They are not in SYM
pathy with the Pennsylvania and Ohio
fields, alleging that they never got any
help from them and do not feel disposed
to show them any fayors.

Some suggestions.

Editor Morning News: Many of
your readers have been in
terested and profited by read
ing the articles published in the agricuI-
tural department of your paper but have
noticed that the writer's, who detail ex-
periments in the planting and cultivation
of newly introduced vegetable, fruit and
flower plants, frequently omit particulars
which are essential as information to 9TH
ers, to-wit: the location or section in
which the experiments have been made
or where seeds, roots and cuttings of the
plants may be obtained. Ours is a coun-
try Of such differences in soil and climate
that an experiment of the kind may prove
successful in one section and failure in
another. A recent article in your paper
relative to the casabanna, omitted to state
where the seeds of that climber could be
obtained, and after diligent inquiry
among seedmen and gardeners in and
about Savannah, by the writer, he fail
ed to obtain any information as to where
such seeds could be obtained.
1t might not be amiss to add, in this
article, word in reference to the mistifi-
cation which sometimes result from arti-
cles. published In some of our agricultural
journals, detailing experience in the plant
ing and cultivation of potatoes and arti-
chokes without mention as TO whether the
experience refers to the Irish potato or
the bur artichoke, and to suggest atten-
ton TO the necessity of designation in
these particulars. Savannah.

The explosion of a vulcanizer in the
dental office of Strickland & King, on the
second floor Of the Masonic building at

News OF marriage with the flavor of
romance comes from Aiken. The parties
are Miss Celia ITammett of Charleston
and George Edmondston of Aiken. The
groom was Ill and unable to go to
Charleston, so the bride went to him.
The groom is widower, and both are
past middle age. They were young peo-
pie together in Charleston, and were
engaged to be married. when a lovers
quarrel at dance resulted in their sepa-
ration. MIR. Edmondston subsequently
married another, but Miss Hammett re-
manned true to her first love.
At Lamar. Darlington county, day
or two ago, w. B. Andrews, a farmer,
after breakfast walked down to an i'm
mense ditch 200 yards from his home to
see how the water was passing through.
On arriving there he decided to go down
the embankment to remove some trash
that DISTRACTED the water. While in this
STOPPING position and at a depth of
twenty feet, as this ditch runs through
hill, landslide took place above him,
which completely crushed him to the
bottom in the water, burying him several
feet underneath. His wife and four chill
dren were standing on the brink and
witnessed the tragedy. 1t took a crowd
of men five hours to excavate the body,
which was terribly mangled
curious case has just come to light
in South Carolina. 1t would seem absurd
to state that a man who burns down his
own house is not guilty of arson, yet such
is the case in South Carolina common
law, and a recent supreme court decision
has disclosed that according to law man
can wilfully destroy his own property by
fire. The paradox is easily explained.
Fire insurance is a thing of later years
while the old common law has stood for
centuries before insurance companies
were thought of: there was no incentive
TO make man burn his own house when
he could hope for nothing in return and
so the only definition given for arson was
'the burning of the house of another"
The old common law has, in the confusion
of other Legislation, never been amended.
