CHAIRMAN WHITE
CORRECTS ERROR

Editor News:
l wish to correct the majority fig
ures In the plurality l gave J. j.
Dykes that appeared in my article in
last issue of the News. 1t should have
been 800 but by mistake the Baughi
was left out and made it appear 25.
will go little further and say that
D. j. Dykes majority will reach
somewhere from $50 to 400 over both
his opponents
MT Barber endorsed my article all
the way down the line, but one para.
graph that said be was fighting the
republicans and their platform. Ht
denies this by saying be endorsed the
republican platform, and was fighting
neither democratic nor republican par.
Ties but running on issues and on his
own man, regardless of party affilis-
tions So, if be endorses the republi
can partys platform and is not max
ing any fight on my rarity, perhaps
owe MIN an apology, but keenly regret
that Mr., Barber couldn't have seen
MS way clear enough SO he could have
come before the republican pary's con-
Ventioh aud stood the pressure and
the strength. He should have stood
by the will and action of the republic
can party, and could have been loyal
enough to have been my party's NOM
inee. AS he didn't come before our
convention and did not seek the nomi
nation at the hands of the republicans
OF Marion, we leave him in the field
not endorsed by either republican,
democrat or socialist party and he is
before the people as candidate for
representative and left for the voters
to judge as to what party utilization he
represents, if any.
l have but one duty to perform as
a republican, and that Is to elect every
nominee that appears on the republic
can ticket, who has come in by the
door and stood the test of the republic
can party, both stats and county, and
outside of my political duty as a party
manager neither Mr.. Barber nor Mr..
Wilson would politically expect me to
be for either of them, but will say l
will not resort to any low down meth
DDS to defeat either, but will come
clean and have an honest and fair
election aud let every qualified voter
in my county cast bis birthright and
elective franchise for whoever he
thinks Is the proper and most suitable
man to represent us in the legislature
and to sustain the present temperance
laws aud not to prove wolf in sleeps
clothing, and one who will repeal the
registration law, and further, a lepre-
sentative who will stand by the hon.
est election laws of Tennessee and one
who will protect the i!literate and
will see that every honest. fair, intel
ligent, qualified voter when he casts
his elective franchise, will have it
counted for him, aud further stand by
the law wherein it reads thus: Each
and every legal candidate running for
any Office in the gift of the people who
receives majority and plurality of
the qualified voters of bis county and
state, shall be declared elected. which
you can rely on will be the Hon J.

100 DEAD
IN Mine
Abandon Hope for Hun
dred Workers Caught
in Lower Level, a
Roaring Furnace
of Flame.
BLAST HEARD Mile
AWAY FROM SHAFT
Illinois Town is Scene of
Fearful Holocaust, and
Gas is Blamed for !.
Cause of Fright
full Death Toll.

Royalton, H., Oct 97.-Three hun
bred men were entombed in the Mitch
ell mine here today by gas explosion
soon after the day shift entered the
workings. One hundred escaped, 40
dead bodies had been found by this af-
ternoon and 100 were known to be inn
prisoned in lower level, which was
burning.
No hope is held out for the 100 men
known to have been working on the
lower level. The flames made it i'm
possible for the rescuers to reach
them.
The mine is mile from this town
and the explosion was heard here dis
tinctly. Everyone in town, except
the telephone operator, hurried to the
mine. Aid was summoned from Du-
quoin and Murphysboro. A rescue car
was sent from Benton.
All the men taken dead from the
upper level had been overcome by gas.
None had been burned. General Su-
perintendent Mitchell said the men in
the lower level doubtless had been oY-
ercome by the gas before it exploded,
and that if they regained conscious
ness the fire that followed the explos-
ion would prevent their escape,
The explosion occurred in the north
west corner Of the mine, where from
100 to 800 men were working, Men in
the southern part of the mine heard
the explosion and hurried to the ca
ges that took them to the surface.
This part of the mine was separated
from the section where the explosion
occurred by thick walls of coal.
Three hundred and seventy-two men
were employed in the mine. but the
disaster occurred about five minutes
before work was to be begun and so
had not entered the shaft AT II o.
clock the rescue car cana from Ben
ton, ILL.,, with four hours supply of
oxygen. This made possible further
penetration of the mine by the rescue
parties.

MINNESOTA P0ETESS
R0ASTS THE FORD"

Miss Kathleen Scofeld, a roetess of
st. Cloud, Mimi, writes in the fol-
lowing detected strain regarding her
Ford auto:
The Ford is my auto,
shall not want.
1t maketh me to lie down in muddy
places;
II leadeth me into much trouble;
It draweth my purse
go into the paths of debt for its sake.
Yea, tho understand my Ford per-
fectly
fear much trouble, for the radius
rods or the axle might break.
anoint its tires with patch, the
radiator boileth over,
Surely this thing will not follow me
all the days of my life
Or shall dwell in the lunatic asylum
forever.
Equip your Ford with one>of the new
cuckoo clocks.
When the thing reaches speed of IS
miles per hour, the little bird comes
out and sings, Nearer, My God, to
Thee.
We don't know so much about that.
We ran over a two foot boulder Sun
day with our'n, aud nary radius rod
broke. Also when the machine stop
ped it was at such an angle that the
radiator ought to have ''boi leth-ed
over" but it didn't. The brake was
excellent, much better than that of
the Paige car that knocked off pieces
of the mountain coming down to this
place last week When we put on
the emergency" she held, otherwise
there would have been none of the old
staff to get out this publication this
week. 1t was nearly an Overland
which Miss Scofield now Glrives--or
an cover bank. The front tire,
which stood the brunt of the shock,
was not even SCARED and 1t has been
on the machine for six months and Is
the poorest of the four.

its, society a jungle of cunning beasts that parade their beauty and their power for little while and then are torn down by fangs more dreadful than their own, or eclipsed by a still more glittering, but not more shallow. beauty Is such a world Gods world?
 Precisely this is the protest of modern Lnbelief. But it is based upon the |; traditional conception of the world as a final outcome of the Creators skill It serves to set in terrible relief the neces- sity for popular restatement of the Christian apologetic in the light of all modern knowledge. Only the most snug and superficial mind can agree that the world we dwell in is a good world. Suppose that, instead of having home well appointed and with little unappeased hunger. with children and wife happy and enthusiastically glad to be alive-sup- pose. I say, that home for you were a tenement in New York, where the heat Is killing where work must be done at home to keep the wolf from the door. Suppose 1t was your wife who drove a sewing machine all day and got>chented Of her pittance at night. Suppose they were your children whose only play ground was the street. and that you had seen their white souls smirched with its moral dust and soot. Suppose 1t was

you who lay dying of tuberculosis. a sacrifice to overworlS and underfeeding and had air and barbarous working con ditiens, Could you agree then that the world is a good world2 This Is the lot of thousands Dare you, sitting aloof. or going on occasional excursions into the bottomless pit of modern poverty. assert that the world is very good"?
 Faith, no doubt, can remove mountains and faith can deal vietoriously with these and such like horrible conditions There is everywhere a league of poor but brave souls and they are most numerous where the conditions of life are hardest to bear But when the women of East London waited on Premier Asqulth the other day and told their stories, did not a veritable door to hell open in Downing street, that the executive head of the nation might see how large part of that nation must live in hell and bring up their children amid it's foul and stiflng fumes? Never theless, as Matthew Arnold tells us, even in East London there are souls ''muca oheered with thoughts of Christ, the Living Bread" One of the happiest wom- en l ever met was poor cottage-dwe cling villager, moving on crutches. and caring for a husband and five children on an average weekly income of $2.75. Certainly she did not curse God and die She lodged no complaint against the scheme of things. And why? Precisely because

costs keep their own souls integrity, Of the other sort there have been more than enough. Read Mark Rutherford, and see.
 Now, it would be too much to say that recognition of the fact that the world Is unfinished and still in the process of naking quite clears up the dread mys- tery-why God permits insanity, or why there are noxious beasts, disease-bearing insects, and vermin like rats to carry bubonic plague in their foul, parasite ridden hides. On the other hand, it must be confessed that if the world is on the way but has not yet arrived intelli- gent hope that some day the riddle will be solved, is not unreasonable
 Naturally enough the question starts, Why should the Almighty Creator use this slow and painful process of evolu- tion in order to make world? Is not the result driving men to despair and denial of the Creator? Seeing truth for ever on the scaffold, wrong forever on the throne" have we no right to say that the whole business is a hopele ss botch, not cosmos but chaos, with ma tLre led in tooth and claw mere para ble of man preying upon man for none tary profits, children robbed of their baby hours of play to add something to the earnings of money that does not belong to the man who collects the prof
