the idea OF entering the gates, the
strikers made a concerted attack on
the teams and drivers with sticks,
stones and clubs. One driver was
knocked from his seat and partially
stunned and the horses beaten over
the heads. AS a result the horses
bolted and ran away, the pole of one
wagon was broken and the other
wagon was ditched. The success of
this venture encouraged the strikers
who became more aggressive as the
day advanced.
Governor Oddie arrived at McGill
soon after noon, Wednesday. He
was accompanied by Sheriff Grain,
District Attorney McFadden and
County Commissioners Stevens and
Wheeler. The chief executive was
met by a committee of union men
who requested that the governor
and sheriff with committee selec-
ed by the Greeks. 90 through the
works. 1t was alleged a number of
Greeks We're being held against their
will within the works. This request
was without results. as the company
refused to allow Guy e. Miller and
Tom Cora. Western Federation Off
oials, from entering the works, both
having asked to accompany the COM
mittee.
The next move vas an address by
Gov. Oddie. who mounted box rear
the stockade gates and spoke to an
audience of about one thousand of
varied nationaities. He presented
the rights of both factions or sides
and urged prudent action. He also
urged that the strikers allow the
workman inside the grounds to be
supplied with food. He brought out
the fact that the state of Nevada
would enforce the law for the pro-
lection of life and property. At the
conclusion of his address he was ap-
plauded.
During his talk the strike leaders
and officers were kept busy averting
clash between the men inside the
fence and those outside. as there
was a constant exchange of threats
and but for the intervening fence a
riot would have resulted.
The next move of the company
occurred about four o'clock. when a
wagon guarded by mounted deputies
was started up the hill, and reach
/ ing the scene of the mornings smash
up, the provisions We're transferred
| from the wrecked wagons to the re-
1 lief conveyance. The Greeks were
| in large numbers about the gates,
! and watched the operation closely,
but for some reason made no mani
4 festation towards the wagon and its
guard. Their delay was fatal to
their prearranged plans. for in few
minutes the special train arrived
from East Ely and before the strik-
ers realized what was going on. the
train and passengers were quickly
inside the grounds.
This operation seemed to have
paralyzing effect upon the strilS-
ers. and within few minutes the
opportunity had passed to hold NJ
/ the wagon load of food, for direct
I ly the captain of the company
guard who had arrived on the spe-
cial train. passed out of a side gate
and mounting the provision wagon
headed for gate on the west side
7 of the stoekade, and disappeared
within without interruption. Strik-
ers who finally realized the import
of the move, ran after the wagon
throwing stones and shouting, bui
were unable to prevent its entrance
to the grounds.

Death of Mrs. c. w. Miller.

Mrs. c. w. Miller died at the resi-
dence of her daughter, Mrs. 1. Dan.
Smith, early Tuesday morning and
was buried the following day at Duck
Pond church, four miles above Un-
ion.
Mrs. Smith was sixty years of age
and had been in poor health for sew
eral months. Mrs. Miller was a de-
voted Christian, and her life was de-
voted to good works. She was an
active church worker and gave her
heart to that service. Faithfully she
performed the Kings commands, and
her summons to His presence could
but add to her joy.
The burial was conducted by Rev.
w. ID. Wakefield, at IL o'clock We'd
nesday.

Hayden Smith, and Miss Alice Smith.
The deceased was a sister of Mr. 1.
X. Paulk, of this county. She was
woman of noble character. Her life
was devoted to serving others, and
was benediction to all who came
under it's influence. She had faith
in God that was an inspiration to
all, and spirit of such gentleness
that all who knew her loved her.
The burial was at Fair View
church by the side of her husband,
who preceded her to the grave many
years ago.

Rev. w. f. Gault.

Rev. w. F. Gault of Converse is
preparing to move to his new field at
Buffalo and Union. The Green Street
church, Union, and the Buffalo church
were assigned to Mr.. Gault at the
recent annual conference which was
held at Anderson. While Mr.. Gault
is young in the ministry, he is an
able speaker and we predict for him
great success in the great work that
he has been called to do. Mr.. Gault
has made his home at Converse for
the past several years and has en-
deared himself to all the people of
the little village. He has ably super
intended the Methodist Sunday School
at Converse for the past two years
and it is with much regret that the
school is to lose him in that work.
Mr.. Gault is caring for his aged moth
er and is carrying her with him to his
new field of labor.-Clifton Chronicle.

it is said, and walked out of the club.
He reported the purchase to the 9TH
er officers with the result that the
place was raided and warrants sworn
out for operators.
The seizure consisted of GIT pints,
1O8 quarts of whiskey and nine and
one-half barrels of beer.

ernor Blease stated that it had been
ported to him that an open bar
room was being operated in Lexing-
ton under the guise of social club
and that negroes and whites were
served with drinks, and he requested
that the place be routed at once.
There are a number of so-called So
cial clubs in this county, and in some
localities. ~

Club will attempt to- resume opera
tions or not.

ALIENS SMILING, BEGIN
SERVING TERMS IN PEN
Sidna and Nephew Behind Pen Walls.
Edwards Faithful to Sweetheart.
Prisoners Put to Work in
Shoe Department.

Richmond, Va, Dec. 1S.-When the
cell doors in the States prison clang-
ed behind Sidna Allen and Wesley
Edwards yesterday afternoon the last
of the Allen clansmen except Victor,
whose proud boast it had been that
they would never go to Jail, were
behind the bars of the State peniten-
tiary.
Heavy manacled at wrist and ankle
the noted prisoners reached Rich
mond yesterday afternoon at 2
o'clock from Roanoke in charge of
Guard R. r. Penn, who had been sent
after them. The guard and his pris-
oners were met at the station by
Major Superintendent J. B. Wood, of
the penitentiary with a carriage
drawn by two handsome bay horses
and driven Immediately to the pris-
on. Both men were neatly dressed
and both were smiling as they walk
ed through the station.
Wesley Edwards spent much of
his time in writing while on the train
sending back missives to several la
dies back in Carroll county, and a
very lengthy letter to Miss Maude
Iroler, his sweetheart, who unwilling
ly led the officers to where he and
Sidna Allen were hiding in Des
Moines, Iowa. He does not believe
for an instant that she had the least
idea that officers were following her.
When the men got here photogra-
pher was on hand to snap them, and
both men smiled and pushed back
their hats so that a good view of
heir faces could be had.
Sentiment has changed a good
deal up in that section," said Sidna
Allen, regarded as the leader of the
clan, "and when the real truth is
known, when the full story is told,
there will be many others who will
take our side of the case. Now that
the doors will soon close on us, pos
sibly for . great many years, want
to say that In Wythe~iile and in Roa-
noke the people have been very kind
to us, especially in Roanoke, where
many ladies did kindnesses for US.
The men will be put to work in the

BAPTISTS PLAN
STATE HOSPITAL
COMMITTEE OF TWELVE LEAD
ING MEMBERS APPOINTED.
This Committee VIII Meet in Colum-
bia on Dec. 81 to COsider the
Matter of Location for the
Hospital.

Abbeville, Dec. 1S.-The Bap-
fists of South Carolina will build an
immense sanitarium somewhere in
this state during the coming year.
This was decided by the recent state
convention of Baptists, held in Abbe-
vile. A committee of IL leading
,embers of the denomination was
appointed to take the matter in
hand, and clothed with full power to
act. This committee will meet in the
Columbia Hotel, Columbia, Dec. 81
at a o'clock according to statement
given out by the chairman, the Rev.
Louis Bristow, to consider the matter
of location for the hospital. A fine
New Years gift will fall to some as
piring town in South Carolina as a
result of that meeting.
For more than a year the question
of state sanitarium has been before
the Baptists. The Rev. Mr.. Bristow
wrote number of articles for the
Baptist Courier in 1911 appealing to
the members of his denomination to
take up this form of Christian phil
anthropy, and at the convention that
year introduced a resolution calling
for the appointment of committee
to look into the matter and report
this year. Mr.. Bristow was named as
chairman of that committee and
made an exhaustive study of condi-
Ntion and sanitaria. His committee
made unanimous report, advising
that the convention establish hospi-
stal. The convention by good vote
adopted the report, and the following
committee was named, clothed with
full power to act: Louis Bristow,
chairman, A. r. Jamison, J.. w. Quat-
tlebaum, C. H. Edwards, 2. T. Cody,
Howard Lee Jones, j. M. Kinard, II.
