numbered among the dead.

Intense interest in the Winterduar,

the city from the time the first bulletin
arrived. All day long people thronged
the sidewalk in front Of The Herald
office, intent on learning more details
of the dreadful affair. The interest *
easily accounted for when the fact that
many Salt Lakers have friends or
relatives lying among the dead and in
Jured Is taken into consideration. and
furthermore it is the most terrible aC-
cident, and incuus more less of life
than any in the states history.

ScOfeld, Utah. May Never before
ii the annals Of the state of Utah has
there been such a harvest Of death as
there is at this camp tonight. Never
before in the history of coal mining in
the United States have so many lives
been lost in single accident.
Two hundred blackened and man
gled cOrpses tell the tale of horror.
That number of men and boys this
morning went tC their death when they
entered Winter Quarters mine No. 4.
For, at 1920 an explosion, like unto
an inferno, rent the mine asunder. So
terrific was the explosion that the
top of the mine was blown off
The men who were not killed cut
right by the explosion, by falling tim
bers, flying debris and caving rock,
fell victims to the deadly after damp.
Every one seems dazed by the mag
nitude of the explosion.

Colorado Springs, Colo, Aug. pa
The final days proceedings of the
Farmer National Con res s, in session
here, was devoted almost entirely to
the question of farming in the South.
The storage reservoir subject, which
was urged by the State officials at yes
terdays meeting, again came in for
soma little discussion this morning.
E. A. Callahan, of New York, opened
the regular program with q paper on

opened the question of Southern farm
ing with a paper on "The Northern
Farmer IN Dixie" The paper was
discussed for the remainder Of the

THE EBB SET IN.

Little Bobs' is now on the rack of
the British journalistic inquisition.
For months past it would haYe been
almost high treason for any son of
England to hint at anything deprecia-
tory OF the "masterful genius" of Lord
Roberts. His tide of popular favor
seems to have reached its highest point,
and the ebb has apparently set in.
Now certain newspapers, unwavering
in their loyalty but a few weeks since,
call some Of his moves "blunders." and
characterize his policy as "failure"
his conduct of the war as Showing in
competency"

THEY HAVE THE POWER.

The T1MEs.CALL understands that
there will be labor party organized
here within the next few days. The
purpose of this new organization will
be the naming Of proper office holders
and there is no doubt but that they will
hold "the ba ance OF power" inasmuch
as the business element of Brunswick
and Glynn county are at present divid-
ed.
The number of members OF union
labor here Is surprisingly large. Not
less than two thousand men are now 10
the local unions aud as al. of these are
representative citizens, they have paid
their taxes and are 10 a position to vote
for who they please.
1t is claimed that the laboring man
here has not been given the proper re-
presentation and they are now going to
demand that which they believe is just
ly theirs,
The outcome of the new organization
will be watched with int rest.

ments have slightly altered, but there
has still been, of necessity, constant IA
miliar acquaintance between the whites
and the blacks. The Southern negro
knows that in the Southern white man
he has a most interested friend, and
one who is far more practical in his
friendship than some OF the Northern
people who indulge in sympathetic talk.

A YANKEE PAPER TALKING OVER THE
NEGRO SITUATION.

One yankee paper, the Boston Home
Journal-printed right in the shadow of
the white negress' home-lras been talk
ing to the north about the negro. 1t
may be interesting to see whas this jour-
nal thinks of the situation:
at has long been acknowledged by
intelligent people that the white men of
the north did not understand the south>
ern negro. 1t now app ars doubtful If
the northern negro understands his col
ored southern brothers situation. Rev.
Benjamin w. Farrrar, president of the
Lillian Clayton Anti.Lynching League,
thinks that some day the people OF the
north may wake up and find that the
negroes of the south have cut the tel
egraph and TELEPHONE wire and destroy
ed the railroads. With their vastly SUI
perior numerical strength, he says, they
could oyerpower the southern whites
and control things before the north could
moye. This statement was endorsed
by number of northern negroes.
Such ignorant endorsement, however
cannot make it anything better than idle
talk, for the southern negro is pretty
sure not to adopt course so suicidal to
his own interests, unless the Idea is
planted and nourlshed by the constant
indsmmatorY speech of northerners.
The negroes of tho South that they
are understood by the bes, Southern
people, and it is the Southerner who
has the Southern negro's admiration
and confidence, rather than the North
erner.
I'm dealing successfully or otherNise
with the negro problem the Southern
white man has every hing at stake with
the Northerner it is purely matter of
theory and sentiment. Besides, the
Southern white man knows the negro
temerament, and is not lnstinetively an
lsgonistlc to black man because he is
blacks as is the case with half the "ne-
gro sym pathizers' Of the North. The
Southerner of any years was Graded on
a negro breast, has been served by me-
groes much of their life, has lived in
his own house with any number of ne
groes.
