Since putting IN type the article
on the eighth page under the
caption named at the head of this
we learn that the earthquake was
fake, and that the noise and jar
we're the result of a terrific ex-
plosion of 5000 pounds of dyna-
mite stored in the powder house
of Mccoy & Nungent's camp near
Magnolia, Is miles west of Han
cock, where the contractors are
finishing the tunnel of the West
ern Maryland railroad extension.
The explosion wiped out the
powder house, wrecked the black
smith shop, eight cars and part
of the track. Windows in houses
fully a mile away were broken,
and the noise of the explosion
was heard 10 miles from the
scene.
Charles Dixon, powderman for
the camp, IS missing, and it is
supposed he was blown to pieces.
No trace of him could be found on
Saturday. At the place where
the powder house stood there is
an immense hole in the ground.

MEANS MUCH FOR THE SOUTH

1t would rebound to the advan.
tage of farmers and our CONNER
cial interests as well could we
appreciate the full meaning of
11-cent cotton right here in the
middle of crop moving season.
The south has kept the world hun
gry for it's cotton since last spring
and the world has virtually said,
eve win pay your price, The
world is paying it. The South
clothes the cotton wearing peoples
of the commercial world and is
collecting her tolls from every ma
ton on the globe and the far off
isles of the sea. AS result she is
taking great industrial strides to
the front and has won the admira-
ton of the business world for her
mastery of hardest of conditions.
Eleven cent cotton means not mere
business freedom for the South,
but industrial supremacy-leader-
ship.

The islands have only been inhab-

A bit of pleasant news comes
from the Kentucky county known
as "Bloody Breathitt,' where the
"better element went to the polls
at the last election and voted down
and out the Hargis family who
have ruled the county with the
help of shot guns for ten years
past. During that time there are
said to have been seventy -five cold
blooded murders in Breathitt with
nomore than five or six convictions.
James III. Hargis, who has held
the office of judge of the county
court during this reign of terror,
naturally talks of contesting the
election, but the majority against
him is so large that if he attempts
to upset it by violence he will
probably be killed for his crime.
