South Carolina Planters Abandon Rice.

South Carolina Planters Abandon Rice.
Only about $4,000 bushels of rice were
raade in this county this year, against
100000 bushels in the sos, and we guess
tkere will be less rice planted another
-eason than ever, for numbers of plant
ers will not try it again, and all will
finally give it up eventually. What will
become of the rice fields is more than we
can say; probably these large estates
wall be turned into shooting preserves,
" mere the rich capitalists of the north
will enjoy themselves with the wild
game Of the forests. The labor to cult
waite successfully these large tracts of
low lands is getting scarcer every year
Md harder to manage. But we shall
see in time. A century or two ago the
planters produced indigo on these very
lands and when that played OUT they
thought, so tradition says, that they were
>.uined; but rice was introduced, and sue
cessfully. too. as money making crop;
but the war destroyed slavery and IN
settled labor since which time it has
been uphill work for our planters, the
industry gradually going down each
wear, until now it looks to us like the
bottom has been reached. The risks at
aending the cultivation of the rice crop
ere altogether too great for the man of
ordinary means, but perhaps something
else will take its place as the years
roll on.-GeorgetOwn Times.

ers are busy harvesting this crop the
year round and though the harvest has
continued for over twenty years. during
which time more than 10000 tors of salt
have been harvested, only ten of the
1000 acres of the farm have been
worked.
The salt is first ploughed up into fur
rows; it is then thrown into conical piles
by men with barrows, after which it is
taken to the reduction works near by
and put into marketable condition. The
work is done by Mexicans ana Chinese,
the intense heat being more than Ameri-
cans can endure-New Orleans States.

vESTIGATE TROUBLE WHEN

ARE CAUGHT BY AFTER-DAMP.
Signals for Help Are Heard During
Night, but Cease with Approach
of Daylight.
SUPERINTENDENT is ONE VICTIM.

PITTSBURG, Pa, Jan. 26.-Two men
are dead and twenty others are supposed
to be dead as the result of three gas ex-
blossoms in the Boswell mine of the
United Coal company, Somerset county,
night and early today. The men were
members of an investigating party that
had entered the mine to make an inSpec,
ton of suspicious gas traces before al
lowing the miners to go to work. The
dead are:
LOGAN, SUPT. G. j.
STONCKI ANDREW.
Among the supposed dead are:
Assistant Supt George Morris.
John Cole.
William Hay.
Seventeen other men.
Signaled for Help.
Until early today signals were heard
from the imprisoned men. At daylight,
however, the signals ceased and it is
believed that all the men had come I'M
der the influence of the deadly after
damp.
About 30 o'clock yesterday afternoon
small explosion occurred in the mine
and as result of this and other con-
ditions that needed attention, it was
decided to make thorough investigation
of the underground workings and en-
tries. This was in charge of Supt.
Logan and twenty-one men volunteered
for the dangerous work.
More Explosions Follow.
They entered the mine shortly after 5
o'clock and while they were in the mine,
a second and third explosion occurred,
about o'clock. These explosions had
the effect of tearing down great quaint
ties of coal, slate and rock in the in
terror, completely preventing the men
from reaching the outside. State Mine
Inspector Lowther of Somerset was soon
at the scene and from the miners who
had not been allowed to go to work I'M
til the investigating party returned, res
cuing shifts were quickly formed.

elusive action by Congress on Senator

to secure the use of these arms at least
ten members of camp of veterans must
