so and 125 men are entombed in the
Starkville mine. eight miles from here,
the result of an explosion which oc-
Cured at 1920 O'Clock tonight
The explosion practically destroyed
the old stope of the mine and the
new stope Is so thoroughly Allied with
gas and black damp that entrance of
rescue parties by this route is i'm
possible.
Hope for Entombed Men.
There is hope for the cntombed
miners, however, from the fact that
the Engleville mine is connected with
the Starkyille mine through under
ground workings, and only a heavy
board partition separates them.
The two mines ran together sew
eral months ago in the process OF OPP
Grafton and the point of contact be
tween the two main slopes was parti-
toned off. The presence OF gas aud
black damp In the new slope, the
only one remaining open, gives rise
10 fears that the whole mine Is filed
with the deadly gas and afterdanlp
and that the men could not have had
time 10 reach the partition dividing
the two mines before being overcome,
as the gas must have filled the mine
before finding an outlet through the
new slope.
Rescue Partiee-Rush to. Scene.
Hundreds OF men from neighboring'
camps and from this city. together
with the physicians and nurses, were
hurried to the scene of the disaster.

has been in a measure restored. the
fear still prevails that the attacks
against the religious establishments
may become general. The most mark

sentiment shown by a portion OF the
population against the clergy. Last
night Republican troops attacked the
Jesuit monastery In the Rua do Quel-
has after they had been fired upon
IRON the windows.
One Priest Was Killed.
One priest was killed and the 9TH

the houses were found empty and the
property was not damaged
Details OF police have been sent out

The Junk-Filled Papers.
Greensboro Record.

Greensboro Record.
The High Point Enterprise takes a
fall out OF the metropolitan Sunday
newspapers. THE vOluminous Sun
day editions OF some of the Northern
dailies dumped out on the TRAINS" it
says "are the poorest newspapers is
sued by their publishers during the
entire week and many readers ex-
press this view. They are filed with
lot OF so-called special news which
is Junk pure and simple and which
not two people out of a hundred
read. 1t would be a blow at the
paper trust If the publisher would re-
duce these Sunday specials from
about sc to half a dozen pages and
besides the suffering public would be
revealed. The space-killing features
OF these editions are not only lacking
in public interest but have no proper
place in newspaper" Ali OF which
is the truth. There are sheet after
sheet OF stuff that will not even inter-
eat the servants, as any one will find
who will try it on them.-Charlotte
Observer.
1t seems to be the idea of some pub
fishers to stress the size rather than
the quality OF their paper. The temp
tation to make paper as large as
somebody else is making is great, and
In all such cases quality is sacrificed.
The stuff mentioned above, as we'll as
most OF the pictures OF various sizes
that are used to pad out are not
worth the paper they are printed on.
The small paper that gives the news
Is lar better than the large one with
all these useless features.

The growth OF the Southern Text
Association which held its fall meet
ing in this city last Saturday, is little
short OF marvellous.
Two years ago this association was
formed in Charlotte with 30 mem
bers. Today it's membership roll in
cludes seven hundred and fifty names,
and prospects for still greater e1-
pansiOn are promising. That was a
fine looking set OF gentlemen who
met here Saturday. As one OF the
speakers said, the delegates here are
the men who are responsible for the
dividends declared on many millions
OF dollars OF vested capital; they are
doing great work.
The need OF more skilled labOrers
Tor the South was stressed by an
other speaker. Five textile schools
have been established In the South
during the past year. An expert
workman commands big pay. There
Is great field open to the young
man who is willing to take the time
and trouble to equip himself for
special lines OF service.
The value OF such equipment is
splendidly shown by the success at

the skill necessary 10 hold down i'm
portant positions.
Charlotte found lot Of pleasure
in entertaining this great body oil
workers.

1O2 more than it was for Governor
two years ago. That was not as
big as a barn door, but it is enough.
The vote was smaller than in 19OS,
the Democratic vote 5000 less and
the Republican being $1,000 less

returns show that it is $500 less
than the unofficial estimates furnish

election. .
The Democrats elect 80 members OF
the House Of Representatives. out OF

the morning after the election
this paper said it looked like the
Democrats would have 100 mem

Better Corn Yields.
Raleigh Evening Times.

Raleigh Evening Times.
The last report of the crop report
ing board of the bureau OF statistics
of the United States Department oil
Agriculture shows that the South is
making progress in the movement
for the production OF food supplies at
home. The eight states OF Virginia,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Alabama, Mississippi, Kentucky,
and Tennessee are leaders in this
new agriculture. The report shows
that these eight states will pro-
duce 81, PAT 900 bushels more OF
corn this year than in 1909, jumping
from 46O,72S,O00 bushels in 1909,
to 1915, 900 bushels in 1910. This
large increase comes in great part
from an increased acreage, there being
1925, 900 more acres planted this
year than last. But there is also @
noticeable increase in the yield per
acre. This increase is given at 2. 3
bushels over the average production
per acre. The report gives North
Cardinals production this year at
57,754, 900 bushels. Last year it
was 4S, $4,000 bushels
This increase in the production OF
corn in the South is one Of the most
encouraging features OF Southern ag-
ricultural progress, one of the results
of the general movement throughout
the South for diversified agriculture.
This increase OF 81 ,247, 900 bushels
in the South's production of corn and
the much greater increases that are
expected in the next few years will
enable the farmers OF this section to
save the enormous sums which they
have been sending to the West for
corn and other food supplies and con-
sequently to realize a greater profit
from cotton and other market crops
Economic authorities agree in declar-
ing the American corn crop the basis
OF the country's prosperity since in
such large measure the production
of other crops as we'll as the pork
supply depends upon it.
Agreater yield of corn in the South
means a greater share OF prosperity
for this section, and il the Increase
for 1910 is repeated many years the
time is not far distant when the South
will be selling corn instead of buying
it.

HE DIED BETWEEN DRINKS.
What the Governor OF North Carolina
Said to the Governor of South Caro-.
lima.

Louisville Cor N. Y. World.
Gov. Martin F. Ansel. Of South
Carolina, and Gov. w. W. Kischin,
OF North Carolina, met yesterday
and issued the following joint state
ment:
cit has been the legend that the
Governor of North Carolina said to
the Governor of South Carolina: 1t
is long time between drinks No
such statement was ever made. The
facts as told by an eyewitness OF
that famous meeting brands the
whole story as fabrication. This
is what really happened:
"The Governor OF North Carolina
said to the Governor OF South Caro-
lima: Remember the fate OF Mont
gomery.'
"'Well, who in the HI was Mont
gomery?' asked the Governor OF
South Carolina.
"'He was the man WHO died be-
tween drinks, replied the Governor
OF North Carolina"
This official statement was posted
on the bulletin board of the Seelbach
Hotel, where the Governors are stay

John Brown as Viewed in the Light
of History.

Fanatical devotion to the memory
of all abolitionists is no longer the
ruling idea in Boston, as witnesseth
the following from the Boston Globe:
Victor Hugo and Wendell Phillips
bestowed ornate wreaths upon his
TJohn Brown's1 brow. Biographers
have praised him effusively. A war
song kept his name alive during the
civil war, and on it's rhythmical feet bis
soul is still marching on.
Man is so habituated to hero wor-
ship that if he has no hero at hand
he will invent one. So apt are we to
worship human beings that only
Time, the unerring critic, can pre-
vent us from glorifying come OF the
worst persons that ever lived.
Time, it would seem, does notfaVor
the man OF Osawatomie. Despite the
verse of Whittier, the rhapsodies OF
Phillips, and the rhetorical incense
of Hugo, John Browns memory does
not grow more lustrous day by day.
In a land which reveres the name OF
Abraham Lincoln, the place of Brown
must necessarily be small one.
Both of these men could not be the
heroes OF the period in which they
lived. Two more unlike characters
never lived. II Lincoln is an Ameri-
can ideal, Brown is not.
To the above the Richmond Times
Dispatch adds:
While this Northern view OF the
fanatic who was Justly hanged at
Harper's Ferry, in due process Of
law, does not regard Brown as a
character of such historical insignifi-
canoe as we of the South regard him,
it is evidence that in New England
the truth OF history is slowly making
it's way. The time will come when in
in the schools OF Boston they will
teach that Brown was not a cause,
but merely an incident OF the aboli-
ton OF American slavery. He was a
poor, crazed fanatic, whose deeds
were scarcely less wild and fruitless
than his ideas-he was the deluded
dreamer of an impossible empire.

Population Has Probably Passed
Hundred Million.
Washington Dispatch.

Washington Dispatch.
The United States has passed the
one hundred million mark in popula-
ton. Including the Philippine
Islands and Porto Rico, and not in
Guiding Guam and part oithe islands
OF the Samoan group, the American
flag floats over a population of1O3.-
692,757. Exclusive 1.-THE Philippine
Islands, Porto Rico, Guam and
Samoa, but including Alaska and
Hawaii, the population OF the United
States is 93,471 ,64S. Ten arsago
the population OF the same territory
was &c, 303,3 1897.
1t will be several weeks before the
official figures are made public by
census bureau, but there is no doubt
that the foregoing figures are very
close to the mark. They are based
on the percentage OF gain shown by
the population statistics of eighteen
States and Territories which have
been compiled officially by the census

5000 Aerial Patents.
Springfield Union.

Springfield Union.
Some idea of the interest taken by
inventors in the science OF aerial nav
igation is afforded by the statement
from Washington that 3,0OOpatents
have been issued already on airships
and aerial contrivances of various
kinds. Stress is laid upon the point
that the brains of the aviator must
be the main dependence in all cases
OF successful man-iight. Hope has
been expressed that some type of fly
ing machine would be invented that
would be automatically responsive to
air currents in a manner to relieve
the tensions of the navigator and
lend comparative safety and ease to
the operation of the machine. If any
such device is possible it is not pre-
saged, it seems, by any of the patents
yet issued.
