terry returns of the South Carolina
troops to the Confederate war depart.
ment captured in Richmond in 1855
and now in the war department at
Washington. For some years it has
been absolutely impossible for any
one to gain access to these records.
AS soon as the appropriation was
made S. Salley, Jr.. secretary OF
the historical commission, began a
campaign for access to these records.
Mr.. Salley has received a letter from
the secretary Of war giving him full
permission to copy the rosters OF the
troops from South Carolina in Con.
federate service. A rart Of the ap'
preparation referred to above will be
used in employing copylst to do the

running about II miles an hour.
When the engineer OF the special

the darkness and perceived that a
collision was inevitable he gave a
blast of the whistle, threw on the
emergency brakes and jumped. The
fireman was in the act of shoveling
coal. He did not have time to jump
Neither trainman was hurt.
Both locomotives were badly dam
aged and the passenger locomotive
left the track. Like the passenger
trainmen the crew of the freight train
escaped injury.

towed into Halifax, while the Tuesday
morning papers gave the appalling
news that fifteen hundred people prob
ably went down with the giant liner.

that these two messages were tapped

orators, who omitted the word are

THE first message from the Titanic
was received at midnight Sunday. We
were then sos miles away. Our course
was slightly altered and all speed put

reporting all safe but we still made
for the Titanic with boats out and
ready for use and spare beds prepared.
