STRIKERS AND GUARDS FIGHT.
Trouble In Thacker-Matewan Coal

trouble In 1hacker-MateWan Coal
Fields Reaches an Exciting Stage.
The miners strike in the Thacker-
Matewan coal fields, in West Virginia,
Is growing critical and resort to fire.
arms has been the result. The whole
field is in a state of excitement md
serious trouble is feared. Already two
or three conflicts have occurred be-
tween the striking miners and guards.
The trouble has grown out OF the
non-recognition of the union BY the
operators. The operators declare they
will not recognize the union and the
miners are equally as persistent in de-
manding that they shall be recognized.

A SCENE OF DES0LATION
Mad Waters Rush Through the Poea'
hontas Coat Region Leaving
Death and Destruction In
In Their Wake.

The entire section of Bluefield, w.
Va, has been visited by food, the
extent of which in all probability will
equal that OF Johnstown In 1889, 80
far as the loss OF property is concern.
ed. Early Saturday morning, shortly
after midnight, heavy downpour Of
rain began, accompanied by a severe
electric storm, which steadily increas-
ed in violence until 10 O'Clock In the
morning, then ceasing for several
hours and beginning again with re-
newed violence. This continued
throughout the entire day and night,
and at 10 o'clock Sunday morning,
while the storm had abated, the lower
ing clouds indicated another terrific
downpoulr at any moment. Many
miles of the Norfolk and Western rail-
road track, bridges and telegraph lines
are entirely destroyed and conmunica-
ton is entirely cut OF west Of Elkhorn.
so that 1t is impossible to learn the
fun extent OF the loss Of life and prop
erty, but officials of the coal operations
located in the stricken district have
sent out messengers to Elkhorn, the
terminus Of both telegraphic and rail-
road communication, and have receiv-
ed q report that a conservative esti-
mate as to the loss of life will easily
reach two hundred. Some 3 the
drowned are among the most-romi-
nent citizens of the coal fields.
The Pocahontas coal field Is located
in a basin with high mountain ranges
on either side. Elkhorn creek flows
through the center OF the basin,
which ranges from one-fourth to one
mile in width. From Ennis. w. Va.
to Vivian Yard, w. Va, a distance OF
ten miles, miners cabins, coal COM
pany commissaries and coke plants
line this basin. Elkhora creek, being
fed by numerous small streams coming
from the mountain sides, rises very
radidly and this waterspout came so
suddenly that the entire basin between
the two mountain ranges was flooded,
and before the terror stricken people
realized what was upon them they
were carried down by the food, which
swept everything in It's path.
A rough estimate places the num-
Der OF bridges washed away between
Rluefeld and Vivian yard, distance
of twenty-eight miles, at from fifteen
to twenty, and from present fndica-
tions 1t will be impossible to get trains
through to Vivian and points west OF
there under week or ten days
This will render 1t impossible to
get relief into the stricken district,
and with those who escaped with their
lives, homeless and without food, lnde-
scribable suffering is inevitable.
Details Are Measer.
Details of the great Pocahontas coal
field food are hard to obtain, owing
to the inaccessibility Of the mining
district where the fury and havoc OF
the angry waters caused the most ap-
palling loss Of LIE and property.
At Keystone the water began to rise
as 8 o'clock Sunday morning. and by
IL o'clock the food had spent its fury
and at least two-thirds Of the little city
ha.. been washed away or demolished.
It is known that sixteen residents OF
the north side lost their lives, ana at

Prosperous Year for Clemson.

Prosperous Year for Clemson.
Clemson college has closed the most
successful year in its history. The col
lege has had $50 cadets on its rolls,
and has been forced to turn away doz-
ems because of lack of room. The
new barracks being built will accom-
modate $50 boys, so that an attendance
of 600 is expected next fall.
The annual orator was Senator Till
man. It was a characteristic address,
having lot of hard common sense in
it. He mad not made any attempt to
prepare a speech, and declared he new
er in his life tried to write finished
address with rounding sentences-his
object was to get his hearers to think
as he did. The senator has been soft
ened in his views about some things.
A dozen years ago he spoke OF the cita-
del cadets as dancing dudes. In his
address on this occasion he congratu-
lated the management that they allow
ed dancing. The boys should be given
q chance to meet the girls twice a
month. There was no harm in dane
ing; like all other things, it might be
abused. He expected the preachers to
"cuss him out" for these views, but he
noticed the preachers daughters en-
tertained the same opinions as him
self.
