A Bad Mixture
In the New Pension Laws as to
Dates. The County Pension
Boards.
The State.

The State.
At the last session of the gen.
eral assembly a new pension oct
was passed, as was an act provid-
ing for county pension commits
sioners. An examination of these
acts in the comptroller's office
yesterday preparatory to getting
out circulars of information de-
veloped the fact that general
mixture has occurred which it
will probably take amendatory
acts to cure before the pension
machinery can get in shape for
work this year. The pension
act requires all county pension
boards to meet on the third Mon
day in January of each year. The
pension commissioner act requir-
es that the county pension board
at It's first meeting in January
shall elect one of It's members to
be county pension commissioner
and that he shall be ut the audi
tors Office to make out and pros
perly arrange the applications
every Saturday during the month
OF January. Three other meet
ings of the pension boards are
provided for. 1t can be easily
seen wherein is the tangIe. An
other feature Is if all the meet
ings are held and the commissions
ers in each county are to he paid
as required, quite snug amount
will be taken from the pension
fund.
1t is probable that an act cur
ing the defects in the existing acts
will he introduced on the first
day of the coming session and
rushed through.

A Fatal Explosion
At P0rtman Shoals.
superintendent of the Quarry and
Workman Killed. Packing
Dynamite with Drill.
Special to The State.

Opeclal to The State.
Anderson, Oct. 1O.-A prema-
ture dynamite explosion at the
quarry at Portman killed James
Tobin, white, superintendent of
the quarry, and Sam Oglesby, a
negro laborer; and Joe Whitmer
and John Robinson, negro labor
ers, we're slightly injured.
Mr.. Tobin had force of hands
at work getting out stone to be
used In the masonry on the dam
now nearly completed: hole had
been drilled in q rock and this
was being filled with dynamite
preparatory to blasting. The
dynamite was in the shape of a
cartridge and it was the custom
to use six or eight In each hole.
Mr.. Tobin"was directing the op-
Grafton and was standing directly
over the hole with the cartridges
in his hand.
Oglesby was ramming them
down with wooden crowbar but
the wooden instrument did not
give satisfaction and he laid it
aside and began using an iron
drill to force the cartridges down.
1t is supposed that the iron drill
struck against the stone and
caused a spark which igited the
dynamite and caused the explos
ion which was frightful.
Mr.. Tobin was blown upward
and backward and fell several feet
away. The top of e" his face was
