pleted their long journey, and were
glad enough to climb again into the
coal gondolas behind the big locomo-
tive.
Down at the entertainment hall, we
found Ice cream, cake, lemonade, and
band OF music, and the dance pro-
ceeded regardless of coal dust, al
though many Of the ladies did not try
to join in until they had gone back to
the cars. dressed and gotten supper
Lecture BY Mr.. Roam on Mining.
After supper, Mr.. Roam gave us an
interesting lecture on the mines and
miners and a practical illustration OF
the oxygen helmet, a recent scientific
triumph that enables the miner to defy
choke damp or fire damp, and he took
occasion to tell us that although the
miners come from all nationalities, and
many are illiterate and ignorant, GER
tain noble qualities are characteristic
of practically all Of them. Their work
is necessarily a dangerous one, and
death grows familiar: but they are
ever ready to lend helping hand to
fellowman in distress and ii is rare
to find one who is not at all times
ready to risk his own life to save that
of another. Mr.. Roam made us feel
| that 1t was he and not us who were
| full occasion, and gave us to understand
| that If we should ever come back that
way again, either as a party or single
| individuals we would find him and
his sons at home and glad to see US.
Under the circumstances there was
nothing that we could do but to pass
resolution of sincere appreciation
and hearty thanks and we did that.
The trip back was very much like
that going and just as pleasant. we
spent the night on our train at Johnson
City, made stops at Unaka Springs,
Altapas and two or three other points
and reached Spartanburg at about 7.30
o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Those Who We're In the Party.
We did not pass a resolution Of
thanks or buy a memento for Colonel
Kohn as all felt we should have done;
but we adopted resolutions expressing
