na on the night of February Is,
1898, has just been brought to
successful conclusion.
The work was accomplished with
rapiditv up to the most san
guine expectations of the army
engineers in charge, and its prog
ress was unmarked by single
mishaps or hitch until the intro
duction of the final pile, which
failed to lnterlock properly with

This gave rise to h rumor that

AS soon as the wreck is fully

q United States man of war will

lie close to the wreck to receive
the bodies as fast as they are re.
covered, and transport them to
their final resting place.
After that will come an ex-

opinion of engineer officers, will
be able to determine beyond all

MINE EXPLOSION.
About 1913 Killed in Littleton,
Ala, Mine-Mostly Ne
groeS.

urday morning resulted in the
death of about 1913 men. Most
all of the victims were negro
convicts worked by the Pratt
Consolidated Coal Company.
This figure was obtained after
making a careful check of all the
men who entered the mine.
OF the 1913 dead only fourteen
were whites.
1t was 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon when the rescuers were
able to establish working con-
ditions in the mines, and at 2 80
o'clock the first three bodies
were brought to the surface.
They were all negroes, George
Lawson, Joe Brown and Arthur
Welsh.
Within two hours ten more
had been brought up, including
Lee Jones and o. W. Spradling,
both white. 1t was also neces
sary to bring the dead mules
from the mine before the work
could proceed satisfactorially.
From that time on the gruesome
stream of bodies came steadily
from the mine. James Oakley,
president of the state convict
board, accompanied the second
party into the mine, and upon
returning had no comment to
make. He said his report to the
governor would follow a thorough
investigation In the cause Of the
explosion.
The general belief is that pow
der caused the explosion, the
opinion being expressed that
damage was heaviest near the
point where the days supply of
explosives was kept. That the
mine was thoroughly damp seems
to be borne out by the fact that
two victims we're apparently
drowned when they fell while
stunned, face downward, IN a
puddle of water in the slope.
When the rescuers asked for
assistance Sunday afternoon the
company officials called for volun-
teers among the convicts, stating
that no man need 60 if he were
afraid. Sixteen of the negroes
in stripes stepped forwPrd IN re
sponse to the call, and accompan-
led Inspector Hillshonse and six
white men under ground.
There are practically no mourn
ers at Banner. None of the con-
victs had relatives near, but few
curious negro women stood
around the opening and would
break into a low, mournful,
| dirgelke chant when the bodies
were brought up.
The first party of ten govern
ment rescuers, headed by DR.. j.
J. Rntledge, who entered the
mine at 3 o'clock, had a narrow
escape from death. The boiler
used to operate the fans got to
working badly and the supply of
air was stopped for a few minutes.
Within few seconds faint cry
for help was heard from below,
and the men with oxygen helmets
hurried down. The entire party
was overcome by the afterdamp,
and when they were brought to
the surface physicians had to
work over them for nearly an
hour before they were able to be
moved to the rescue car.
Members of the first party give
a narrowing account of the Incl
dent.
"We were going along all right

WOULD SHAKE ENTIRE STATE
by Sleuths in the GruesOme
Case of Mrs. Lynn.

ATLANTA.-Mrs. Bratton, star
witness against Mrs. Rachael Lynn,
hasn't left town.
She is here and says she intends
staying until the trial, when she pro-
poses to tell some very shocking
things occurring in the Lynn home
in the last year or so. Mrs. Bratton
intimated that not half the real story
had been told, and that people from
the highest to the lowest were i'm
plicated in the history of evil sur
rounding the Lynn home.
1t is understood that she has
supplied the detectives with list of
two or three hundred names of par
ties who have been to the Lynn
house. 1t is intimated that a revela-
ton of that list would create a SEN
sation that would shake Atlanta and
the state.

FLODIDA's DRASTIC LIQUOR BILL

Among it's prohibitive provisions
are sale of liquor to habitual drunk

FATAL DISEASE IN THE WEST
SPOTTED FEVER is AFFECTING
BOTH MEN AND ANIMALS.
Agents of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture Are In
vestigating the MaIady.

HELENA, Mont-A disease dis
covered a few years ago in the Bit
ter Root valley, known as the Rocky
Mountain spotted fever, is spreading
slowly west and south, thereby max
ing it imperative to start a crusade
against the wood tick, which CONVEYS
the disease from one place to an
other.
Agents of the bureau of entomolo-
gy of the United States department
OF agriculture took up the work of
investigating the malady and found
that the mountain region is the terri
tory principally infested with the dis
ease-carrying wood ticks. The river
valleys and sagebrush plains of the
west are more or less troubled. and
on the eastern edge of the Cascade
mountains the spotted fever tick has
been found, but never to the west of
the Cascade divide.
The Area Affected.
The infected area includes the
western half. of Montana, all of Ida
no, the eastern half of Washington,
oregon and Nevada, the northern
half of Utah, the western half of Wy
oming and Colorado and small area
in the northern central portion of
New Mexico. This is merely the
present area of the district infected
by this disease, which affects men
and animals alike 1t may become
larger.
Montana is the only state that has
done anything IN the way of coping
with the disease. and it is the only
che which has appropriated money
TO conduct Investigations. The stare
board of health has been given an an
nual appropriation Of $4,000 to carry
on the work. All sorts of treatments
have been tried 10 eradicate the dis
ease, but none has proved effective.

NO MORE sACCHARIN.
Use of Coal Tar Sweet Is Forbidden
BY the Government.

Persons having a sweet tooth must
soon find other means of satisfying
the craving than saccharin, as that
substitute for sugar will be forbidden
after July l. The fiat of the agri-
cultural department prohibiting its
use in any food product has already

Saccharin technically, is a product
OF coal tar. 1t is used as a substitute
for and is 800 per cent sweeter than
sugar. The objection to saccharin is
that it is a disturber of digestion

The Referee Board of ConsuItinp
Scientific Experts in it's report saws.
The continued use of saccharin for
a long time in quantities over three
tenths of a grain per day is liable to
impair digestion; the addition of
saccharin as substitute for cane
sugar or other forms of sugar re-
duces the food value of the sweater
ed product, and hence lowers its
quality

The most virulent form of the dis
ease occurs in the Bitter Root val
ley, where from 20 to 80 per cent
of the cases prove fatal In southern
Idaho there is a mortality of per
cent. The cases of this disease found
in other states are of less virulent
type.
The tick carrying the disease is
greatly influenced by such protection
as is afforded by timber. Where
there is much fallen timber and
brush ticks have been found to -four

feed almost entirely on the small
mammals, and the adults on the

general plea of not guilty, that she
was temperamentally unable, being

crime, and that the child was born

Kicks Come on Method of Sounding
the Voters Somebody Has Made
a Brand New Suggestion.
ATLANTA.-It is practically def
nitely settled that there is not going
to be any senatorial primary
The question of the election of a
United States senator is going di-
rectly before the legislature without
any public intervention.
The state executive committee has
said nothing one way or another, but
it is known that Chairman w G.
Wright of the committee has written
letters over the state requesting the
members of the committee and
friends to make inquiries as to local
sentiment regarding senatorial pri-
mary
The indications are that the re-
plies have been satisfactory from a
committee standpoint, as there has
been no suggestion of even calling
the committee together for consid-
Grafton of the matter.
In some sections of the state, how
ever, opponents of the committee
which is composed entirely of the
friends of Governor-elect Smith have
taken exception to the manner in
which effort was made to get at
public sentiment on the subject.
A complaint comes from several
sections of the state to the effect
that majority of those who were in
terrogated were practically all Smith
supporters and did not represent the
true sentiment of the people; yet it
may be just case of the other side
Of the political fence.
The insistent demand for pri-
mary has come from the friends of
Senator Joseph M. Terrell, and the
strong opponents of Governor-elect
Smith; on the other hand Mr.. Smith
and his friends have had nothing to
say on the subject.
The suggestion has been made that
the candidates for United States SEN
ator shall agree that whichever one
is elected by the legislature at the
coming session shall resign, and then
let the people nominate senator for
three years remaining of the term
at the regular state primary in 1912.
There is considerable doubt, how
ever, as to whether any such agree
ment as this could be brought
about. The candidate who thinks
ne has the best chance would scarce
ly want to consent to do it.

Mr.. Worsham is preparing some
recommendation he will make to the

important will ask an appropriation
from the legislature for a sufficient
amount to prepare exhibits of the
boil weevil under glass to be hung
up for information of the farmers in
the court house of every county in
the state where the weevil is likely
to strike.

MT Worsham has also prepared
some succinct information relative
to the boil weevil, which will form
part of the proposed exhibits. In
this card he will describe the weevil,
how 1t propagates, breeds and trav-
els. He also gives briefly the best
known methods of fighting it by
turning the stalks after the lower
crop is off and before the weevil
has time to do it's work, and by early
maturing varieties of cotton.
But he emphasizes the necessity
OF farmers diversifying and raising
corn, grains, peanuts, hay and home
supplies against the evil day.
