are to be expended by a Territorial
commission, although the city and
county is granted the privilege if it
desires to exercise it Of constructing

to pay to the Territory on the interest
by the Territory, the proceeds of
which shall have been expended by
the Territorial commission in the con-
struction of the permanent improve

amount equal to the par value of such

in the bonds, and also such sums an

the same date each year thereafter

shall have been issued, that the aggre-

rate of interest equal at the expiration

ever, at the option of its Board Of
Supervisors, pay on account of such

additional sum, and when the accrued

is of, doubtful utility and not likely to
be taken advantage of by the City and

counties. Every such additional sum
is to be deposited by the treasurer of
the Territory to the credit of what is
known as the sinking fund.

THE AoJUTANT GENERAL WANTS
THE NATIONAL GUARD PAID
FOR SERVICE.
MEASURE BEFORE CONGRESS
Some of the other States Of the coun-
try May Join In the Fight to Get
Militia On Uncle Sans Pay Roll
10 a Matter Of Much Importance.

Columbia. w. Moore. adiutant-
general has addressed letter to the
South Carolina delegation in con-
gress urging that the support the
measure pending which provides for
pay for the officers aid men OF the
National Guard.
"As adjutant general OF South Caro-
lina," says Gen. Moore. Il am deeply
interested In the National Guard OF
South Carolina, the higher state OF
efficiency OF this organization. In or
der to attain this desired improve
ment in the state militia, 1t is obvious
to all of those who are directly inter
ested, that the only possible source OF
improvement lies in the fact that the
enlisted personnel can not be expected
to render the service required OF them
by the different states and the national
government, unless some provision be
made for proper compensation for the
demands upon their time for drills
and other duties required OF them,
nor Is it fair to expect that the Ma
tional Guard of the different states
should render this service while the
remainder of the citizenship refuses
or evades the performance OF the
duties required OF the National Guard.
In consequence oi this fact and
with this knowledge before you, am
urging you as a representative OF the
whole people of South Carolina to in
terest yourself in house bill No. S14l
which was introduced by Mr.. Pepper,
and which carries with it schedule
of pay for all officers and enlisted men
in the service of the different states
for pro rata pay for such services
as are rendered by them.
81 trust that you will give this mat
ter your most careful consideration
and that you can and will pledge your
active support in behalf OF the pas
sage OF this bill during the present

VERY LITTLE HOPE
IS FELT FOR MEN
GRIM DEATH is THOUGHT Tc
HAVE CLAIMED ALL OF THE
ENToMeED MINERS.
THE RESCUE WORK GOES ON
Eighteen Dead Have Been Found and
Eight Bodies Have Been Recovered
"A Very Pathetic Scene at the
Mouth of the Mine.

Briceville, Tenn.-Somewhere In the
depths of the Cross Mountain coal
mine probably one hundred men lie
dead, while their sorrow-stricken fam.
lilies keep vigil at the mouth of their
tomb, hoping against hope that their
loved ones may be alive when rescu.
er5 reach them.
Eight torn and mangled bodies had
been brought forth at nightfall. when
search was abandoned for the day.
Outside of the immediate families OF
the entombed men, no one In this little
mountain village believes that any liv-
ing thing in the mine survived the
terrific explosion Of coal dust that
wrecked the workings.
For more than thirty-six hours every
surviving miner in this region had
toiled with no thought OF food, sleep
or pay to remove the debris and force
fresh air into the innermost recesses
OF the mine. They practically have
penetrated to the main entry head
nearly three miles in. They expect to
be ready to work the cross entries in
which the other bodies have undoubt
edly been cast by the force OF the
blast.
Black damp developed and retard-
ed progress but the silent force push
ed dauntlessly on, some OF them TILL
they were carried out overcome by
the noxious gases.
Thousands OF the morbidly curious
docked into the village and crowded
about the main entry OF the mine.
IL hey saw nothing because there was
nothing to see, but the pitiable grief
of the stricken families.
All of the bodies recovered have
been identified. Among them was that
of Will Farmer, assistant foreman OF
the mine. The top OF his head had
been blown off. He Is survived by a
widow and two children.
There is heardly family In the
entire Coal Creek valley that has not
selt the Icy touch of death. The prob
lem of caring for the widows and or.
phans will be grave one requiring
immediate solution. Certainly Brice-
Vile will be unable to care for her
living with more of her wage-earners
numbered among the dead.
