SPECIAL SESSION
JANUARY 10Th

Charleston, w. We, Dec. 2l.--
Tuesday, January 2S. is the time set
for the special session OF the legisla-
ture according TO a statement given
out by Governor Dawson and the
formal call will be issued between
now and January 1. A few changes
In the subjects to be Included In the
call will be made from the original
announcement made from the gov
ernor's office.
AS soon as the decision of the SUI
preme court in the Writ county case
was announced Tuesday II was gen
orally known that the extra session
would be held. As formerly announc-
ed Governor Dawson had intended
to call the session for January 21.
but several important matters de-
manding attention made IL neces-
sary to postponed Il for one week.
The governor at present will not
give out the exact subjects which
he intends to include in the call. On
November 20. Governor Dawson an
nounced that he had decided to call
the legislature to convene I'm special
session and that he had called n
special election for the thifteenth
senatorial district to 30 held Janu-
uary IL to elect a successor TO Sena-
tor w. ID. Talbot, who died during
the last regular session. At that time
the governor announced that ne
would likely include in the call the
matter OF regulating and limiting
levies, submitting amendments to
the constitution. payment OF salar-
les to county officers and turning
fees into the treasury, safeguard
Ing the movement OF sinking funds
amending the election law, a gener-
al law concerning elections for vot-
Ing bonded Indebtedness. amending
social club law, passing a local OPP
tion law, revision of the school law.
considering the Virginia debt, rails
ing committees to investigate sub
iect OF legislation and a uniform ac-
counting law. Later the supreme
court granted rehearing of the
Writ county case Involving the lin
ting OF leyies and for a time It was
talked that there would be no spe-
cial session. Since the court refused
to reverse itself the session becomes
necessity.
Some new subjects are likely to be
included in the call while some OF
those formerly mentioned may be
left out. The recent disaster at
Monongah may lead to the consid-
Grafton of the mining laws though
the governor has not expressed him
self on this matter. However, the
call will be prepared in a few days
and given to the public.

Most OF the men. however. ar,
still hemmed in by heavy falls oil
slate and other roof formation, q
mile and a half and more beyond the
point TO which the rcscucrs have
penetrated up to this time, but the
disclosures OF the Investigations &c
far made leave little or no basis for
this hope. There Is little probabili-
~ OF more bodies being found to-
night.
Here and there a body may be
found where the victim had fallen
In a vain effort to effect an exit. but
the almost universal belief Is that
nearly all will be found In the re-
mote section, three miles from the
mouth of the mine, where they were
working when the explosion happen
ed.
Rescue work has been halted. A
vast amount OF bratticing must be
done before Il can proceed. The res
cuing parties, 1900 feet from the
main entrance, have found condi-
lions such as to avert an additional
disaster precautionary measures
must be taken and much work done.
The poisonous gases must be forced
to points beyond and additional air
and ventilation must be provided for
that section.
IL is believed that the great mass
of bodies Will be reached before late
tomorrow afternoon.

CHRISTIAN CHURCH
and
s VIRGIN BIRTH


Never before was there SO much
religious controversy. at the same
time, there was never as little de-
nominational pickering as at the
present time. Only from either the
antiouated or the ignorant do we
hear the statements from denomina-
tionai pulpits that so dIsgraced the
name of Christian religions Atty
years ago. This state OF religious
quietude has been called ''tolera-
tom" II is more than that, Il is the
spirit OF the Christ that is drawing
the professed followers of the New
Testament religion together. recog-
mixing the good. while at the same
time adhering to. the principles of
their pecliarlties. There ls, how
ever, much discussion about the mys-
teries of the Bible. and the topic OF
the Virgin Birth" OF our Lord and
Savior Is one OF the most prominent.
AS tomorrow viii be the nearest
Lords day TO Christmas, the pastor
of the Christian church on North
Mercer street, win take this subject
for the morning service at IL O'Clock.
The public in general are cordially
invited TO be present at this service.

NEWS FORECAST
For
CHRISTMAS WEEK

New York, Nov 21-To the eye
OF the prophet nothing looms up SO
important on the horizon OF the com
ing week as the coming of Santa
Claus and the annual festival which
marks his advent. While the cry OF
hard times" has gone up over the
land, II is unlikely that Il will af-
feet, to any great degree. the ex-
uberance of the holiday spirit.
President Roosevelt and his fami-
~ win spend the day quietly at the
White House. AS In the past. the
chief executive will lay aside all his
official cares and devote the day un-
reservedly TO his wife and children.
The usual distribution OF gifts will
take place in official circles at the
capital, and there will be numerous
social functions of a holiday nature
during the week. Most OF the sena-
tors and representatives have already
left Washington for their homes to
spend the holidays with their fam
lilies. and by the beginning of the
week the city will be almost deserted
by all except the washingtonians
Despite the financial panic. the
poor of all the large cities and towns
of the country will be provided with
Christmas cheer. In New York.
while the contributions have not been
as large or as liberal as in pas,
years and many of the poor are even
poorer than usual IL is unlikely that
any deserving person will be allowed
to go hungry, although the dinners
and baskets may be on less elaso-
rate scale than usual. From Bos-
ton. Philadelphia, Chicago, st. Louis,
San Francisco and other great cen
tiers of population come reports OF
preparations for great feasts for the
unfortunate in all OF which, as usual,
the Salvation Army is taking a prom
inent part.
While Europe is not unaffected by
the financial stringency, cables from
'<~'s1Chs ans bCtiih anu OlUtl zap
itals tell of the customary nantes
tations OF the Christmas spirit, and
report little falling off in the volume
OF the holiday trade King Edward.
Queen Alexandra and the English
royal family will lhold the usual
Christmas reupion. and the jolly
British monarch will forget, for the
time, the cares OF one who sits upon
throne. AS nearly all the Euro
pean royal family are closely bound
by ties OF blood. there will be the
usual interchange of magnificent
gifts among the monarchs. In Swe-
den, the holiday spirit of the people
and the court will be tempered by
the sad memory of the recent death
of King Oscar III.
Emperor and Empress William will
spend the day with their children.
The forfer is reported to be greatly
improved in health by reason Of his
recent visit to England. and in con-
sequence there will be no shadow
to mar the spirit of Christmas cheer
