Sailors Owe Their Lives to Hero
ism Of Nine Texas
LandlubberS.
VESSEL WAS FULL OF POWDER
Catching Fire OFT Chilean Coast, Only the
Cool Recklessness of "Wild Western.
ers" Picked Up at Montevideo Kept
Steamer From Going Skyward.

Six hundred tons Of gunpowder and
dynamite in the hold and a fierce and
almost uncomfortable fire raging in the
engine room was the situation that
confronted the officers, men and pas
sengers Of the steamship Pennsylvania
when she was off the Chilean coast a
few weeks ago.
That those on board lived to reach
San Francisco and tell of the frightful
experience was due partly to good for
tune, but more to the heroic efforts
that they made to save the apparently
doomed steamer.
At Montevideo the steamer took as
passengers nine Texan cowboys, who
had been touring the Argentine Repub-
lie with a wild west show. T9 these
men, reckless Of life and limb, the YES
sci and her crew owe their salvation,
for without their assistance, it is de-
clared, all on board would have gone
to horrible death.
When the fire broke out the hatches
were open, that air might circulate
through the coal and gunpowder. It
was a clear day, and the men were
seated about the hatchways smoking
and talking. Without warning sheet
Of fame, volcanic in its fury, burst
from the funnel, sending great pieces
of burning coal and wood high In the
air. The men about the hatchways fed
for their lives, leaving the hatches un-
covered. Into them fell the blazing
Goals, and soon the wooden flooring
separating the lower and upper holds
was ablaze.
Buckets and fire hose were brought
out, and the battle commenced. For

Buys Church to Start saloon.

John Cline Of 1911 Butler street,
Pittsburg, applied for license to sell
LIQUOR at that address last year, but
the permit was refused because a
church was located in the same square
and its members objected. The other
day Cline was back In court with an
other application, and there were no
church people present to protest. Judge
McClung thought this strange and
questioned Cline. he found that Cline
had solved that problem by buying the
church property and compelling the
congregation to move. The court has
his application under advisement.

ternoon, Miss Barnes spoke to the chill

terest she was chiefly here. Miss Barnes
is an interesting talker, and created much
interest in the work Of missions.

FOR CONGRESS

I respectfully announce my candidacy
for reelection to Congress from the
Second Congressional District of South
Carolina. In doing so ask that my con-
stituents examine into my record of only
a few months as their Representative. l
have been and am now embarrassed by
reason of the contest for my seat which
seriously affects my influence and my
efforts in behalf of my people. With my
experience, I am satisfied that l can and
will represent you more advantageously
in the future than Ihave done in the past.
I make this announcement subject to the
rules and regulations of the Democratic
primary, pledging myself to abide by the
results, and to support the nominees there
Of. j. y. PAIIERoON.
Fellow citizens Since this is the year
to elect Congressman to represent the
people, I hereby announce my candidacy
for Congress from this the Second Con-
gressional District of South Carolina; and
most respectfully urge the voters to ex-
anime my record as public servant, for
not only few months, but for my entire
service of six years as member OF the
House of Representatives of South Caro-
lima. Truly unfortunate that the Federal
laws encourage contests in the South
that so many of our representatives are
molested, certainly a provision for an
allowance of about two thousand dollars
to the contestant, and also to the one
whose place is contested for, should be
modified or repealed, and forever put an
end to the practice. By reason of a laud-
able ambition-that of my promotion
coupled with a God given desire to serve
the Second District as have my home
county (promising to contend as earnest
ly and as vigorously as in the past for
such measures as would be conducive to
the best interest Of our great country, l
seek the suffrage of my fellows country
men. I pledge myself to abide by the
rules and regulations of the Democratic
Party, and to obey the new election laws
(see Acts of General Assembly 1905 on
the subject governing primary elections.
