began 10 uncork the fun they had pros
yided. After the inner man had been
satisfied TO the best OF the ability OF
the proprietor OF the Lockwood hostel
~ (and by the way It was some abil-
lity. tool there was dance at the new
lefty hall building directly across from
the hotel. And II was some dance. A
five piece orchestra from Crystal Falls
played during the fore part OF the
evening, after which the Arab Patrol
orchestra discoursed sweet music for a
period of an hour or so.
The next morning the caravan pro-
ceeded on a tour of inspection Of Iron
county. Alpha was the first town
reached. Here the Shriners had an
opportunity TO witness the work at the
big Balkan Mining company's open
pit property. Shipping at the mine
was commenced only the day before,
when something over fifty cars were
loaded. The ore body at one end OF
the pit had Just been uncovered, after
stripping through something over
seventy feet of owe. burden. AT the
other end Of the pit the ore had not
yet been encountered but II was ex-
pected that this would be accomplished
within a very short time. The caravan
was told that the ore in one end
OF the pit would run something like IS
per cent, while that in the other end
would average about 90 per cent. IL
is the plan OF the Balkan people 20
mix the ore in the pit, bringing the
average up to a merchantable percent
age. II is said that the present dimen-
sions OF the open pit will permit OF
mining for a period OF from ten to
fifteen years.
This was the first view many mem
bers OF the caravan had OF open pit
operations. and II was interesting.
Some three or four trains. pulled by
two dinky little locomotives, were
busily engaged in bringing the ore
from the bottom OF the pit up to terra
firma. where II was dumped on stock
pile OF growing proportions There
was a business-like air to the opera
tons and the caravan was told that
something like sixty cars of ore would
be hauled from the pit as ioc~ as the
contract OF the company which did the
stripping work lasted
From Alpha the caravan proceeded
to the western end OF the county, with
Iron River its objective. One thing
that was noted was the excellence OF
the Iron County roads No matter
whether the road is main turnpike or
only branch to some mining settle
ment or farming community, the roads
OF Iron County are without exception
In excellent condition. 1t is like travel
fng along a boulevard. There are
fences on both sides OF the road when
ever culvert is reached, and the same
is true where there is bad turn. The
hematite covering on the roads creates
little dust, II is true, but with this
exception the roads are without ques-
ton the best TO be found anywhere in
the upper peninsula. IL not in the
whole state.
The glad hand OF Shrinedom was ex-
tended to welcome the visitors when
they reached Iron River. There was a
street parade. participated in by the
band and patrol and the members OF
the Iron County Shrine club. and a

GOVERNOR SENDS
SHERIFFS MESSAGE
Unexpected Official Duties Prevents
Chief Executive From Address
ing Sheriffs' Association.

Columbia Special to Spartanburg
Herald, July Ex-Governor Man
mig was prevented today from at
tending the meeting of sheriffs at
Greenville on account of official bus
| mess.
He addressed the following letter
to Hendrix Rector, sheriff of Green
Vile county:
Unexpected official duties prevent
my leaving here today until too late
to address the sheriffs. l regret this
exceedingly, as realize the impor-
tance of our keeping in close touch
with each other so as to have full
understanding with each other of
conditions we are dealing with.
realize and value the Importance of
the work of sheriffs to the state. 1t
is your duty to see that the laws are
enforced and obeyed; that violators
of the law be brought before legal
tribunals. 1t is you that the people
must look to have the law respected
You have to take the initiative. 1t

partially the laws of our state, and

EMERGENCY MONEY
HAS BEEN REPAID
Clear of ObligatiOn-Issued
Over Three Millions.

Columbia Special to Charleston
News and Courier, July 21.-It is
perhaps not appreciated that during
the stress of last fall the emergency
currency, issued through the national
banks of South Carolina alone, ag-
gregated over S3,QOO,0OO. The ma
tional banks that issued this emer-
gency currency have refunded to the
government every dollar issued un
der the provision of the Vreeland-
Aldrich Act. A great deal of work
developed upon the executive com.
mittee, that had charge of the issu.
ance of this emergency currency, and
it is to the credit of the committee
that every dollar OF the currency was
promptly retired by payments of the
member banks; and that the cost of
handling the business was less than
lib of / per cent. This was due to
the fact that the committee, which
consisted of Messrs. r. Goodwin
Rhett of Charleston, ]. p. Matthews,
w. A. Clark. G. M. Berry, John T.
Melton, j. w. Norwood Of Columbia,
and G. j. Shannon, Jr., of Camden,
all went into the work with a patri-
otic spirit, and without desiring to
make money, but to help out in the
situation.
The report Of the executive COM
mittee of the National Currency As
sociation of South Carolina, which
has Just been printed, gives a mass
of most interesting detail, especially
SO in view of the study that is being
made of financial topics.

MILITIA MAY HAVE
TO SETTLE STRIKE
Further Trouble Occurs at
BayOnne.
GUARDS ARE ATTACKED.
'"'"'c"k oi FIRES Around Plants
Presents New Phase to Serious
Situation.

New York, July 22.-Whether
militia would be called out to pre.
serve order was the question tonight
IN Bayonne, where two more men
were killed today in fights between
striking employees of the Standard
Oil Company of New Jersey. and
armed guards, bringing the total
deaths up to three, since the strike
began. Sheriff Eugene Winkead. who
mad worked earnestly to pacify the
strikers, called on Governor I F.
flelder for troops when jeered by
crowds after the battle. Wilbur F..
Sadler, adjutant general of New
Jersey, was ordered to Bayonne. and
on his report rests the calling of the
militia
Later SheriffWinkead appealed to
Washington for federal mediators
and two were sent by the department
Of labor.
The acceptance tonight by the
strikers of an o@cr of the five-city
commissioners to act as arbitrators,
may have the effect of helping to end
the strike. The strikers will presen.
their demand for a Is per cent in
crease in wages to the commissioners
tomorrow and the latter will Law
them before the Standard Oil plant
officials.
The lull which followed the ser
ious disorder of yesterday in which
one youth was killed, was dissipated
about noon today, several hundred
of the 1900 strikers attacking the
guards within the Standard plant.
The guards replied to the showers
OF bricks, stone and clubs with vol
leys from their rifles and three men
had been wounded seriously when
the crowd retreated.
The next and most serious attack
was on the Tidewater Oil Company's
plant near the Standard plant. After
two OF the attacking party had been
shot dead and three others seriously
injured, the attackers withdrew. 1t
was said that none Of the guards was
wounded.
Later in the day guards within the
Tidewater works fired on q crowd of
$50 persons outside and the latter
replied with revolvers. No injuries
were reported.
Early tonight persons in the crowd
near the plants began fighting among
themselves and a man suspected of
being guard was rescued by five DO
licemen. His condition was said to
be serious.
There was an outbreak Of fires
around the plants today, one OF
which was believed to have been
started by the throwing of burning
oil-soaked waste over the walls. This
menaced the large oil tanks and the
safety Of the guards, but was easily
extinguished, as were all the other
fires.
