 The bucket was stopped within about ten feet of the surface but Naas, whether struck by the bucket or not, fell to the bottom of the shaft and was instantly killed It is believed that Naas who had probably reached near the surface and seeing his danger
 started back and in his haste and ex-
 ,itement lost his footing on the icy ladder and fell. It is not believed by those at the mine that he was struck by the bucket and the condition of the body bears out that theory. Naas dropped distance of probably sixty or more feet and in his fall struck the station tender.

The evidence tended to show that deceased was not struck by the descending bucket, that the ladder was not used for the purpose of as cending and descending the shaft un- less the bucket line was out of order and that deceased was often warned not to use the ladder except in case of emergencies. The deceased was also one of the company which was operat- ing the mine at the time of his death The coroner's jury after hearing the facts brought in q verdict substantially in accordance with the above and plac cd no blame on the company.

FLOYD HOLDS JOB
BUT MATES FAIL
COMMISSIONERS UNSEATED IN
SPARTANBURG RECALL.
Main Factor Apaprently Contention OF
Winners That They Have Been
Badly Treated.

The State.
Spartanburg, Dec. I'm Spartan
burgs recall election mere today, Mayor
John F. Floyd, was reelected, but
Commissioners John P. Fielder and C.
B. Waller, running on the ticket with
him, were defeated by J. T. Hudson
and o. T. Gallman. Messrs. Hudson
and Gallman were commissioners un-
til November 13, last, when they re-
tired through act of the legislature re-
ducing the number of commissioners
from four to two.
Mayor Floyd was opposed by Former
Mayor o. L. Johnson.
The vote is as follows: Floyd, 727;
Johnson, 59S. For commissioner, Hud-
son, 72O; Gallman, 721; Fielder, GIG;
Waller, 595.
The election was ordered by the gov
ernor, only week ago, making the
campain short.
The recall election had it's origin in
controversy that arose in the coun-
ell over loan of $4,000 to the city
by the Merchants and Farmers bank
at per cent, when it was contended
that the city had been offered cheaped
money by the Bank of Spartanburg.
Mayor Floyd is accociated with the in
stitution from which the loan was Sc
cured. This question, however, was
hardly mentioned during the campaign
and if there was an issue it was that
raised by Commissioners Gallman and
| Hudson that they had not been treated
fexactly right when they were legis-
lated out of Office through the action
| of the county delegation in reducing
the number of commissioners. Messrs.
Gallman and Hudson had only retired
from Office On November 49, During
their term of Office there was more or
less friction between them and the
mayor and Commissioners Waller and
Fielder, who generally supported the
mayor. 1t was really fight between
the "outs" and the "ins' and the outs
won, in so far as the commissioners
are concerned.

DEFEAT FOR BRITISH
IN BAGDAD CAMP AIGN
Forced to Retreat Before OVerWhelm-
ing Turkish Aarmy in Mesa
pOtamia.

London, Dec. 4.-British, German
and Turkish accounts of the recent
fighting in Mesopotamia, although con-
tanning minor disparities respecting the
casualties and character Of the Brit
ish retreat on the Tigris, establish that
without further reinforcements to
equal the overpowering odds against
which they have been struggling the
British troops under Gen. Townshend
have little prospect of continuing the
march to Bagdad, which few weeks
ago appeared to be almost within their
grasp.
Having advanced during October
and November through the desert OF
Irak to the very environs Of Bagdad,
the British force now is retiring upon
Kut-el-Amara, so miles southeast Of
Ctesiphon, the scene of the battle
fought the last of November, in which
the British met their first serious
check.
The position, therefore, of Gen.
Townshend's force is much the same
as in September, after the battle of
Kut-el-Amara. According to recent
account, large Turkish reinforcements,
supplementing forces which already
outnumbered the British force four to
one, were flung against the British
troops, retiring down the Tigris and
made a British stand out of the ques-
ton.
There have been no military events
Of importance in the Balkans since the
fall of Monastir Roumania now looms

WEBB-KENYON ACT
WILL BE TESTED
ThOs. H Peoples to Aid in Fight for
COnstitutiOnality of Measure.
Exchange Letters.

The State.
Attorneys general of several South
ern states will join in the fight 10 have
the United States supreme court de-
clare the Webb-Kenyon act constitu-
tional. Thomas H. Peoples, attorney
general of South Carolina, in a letter
to William L. Martin, assistant attor-
ney general of Alabama, has agreed
to join in the suit. Such laws as the
gallon a-month" law in South Caro-
lima have been enacted by the various
state legislatures. The case was orig
inally. brought in the state of West
Virginia by an express company.
About a week ago the United States
supreme court ordered the West Vir-
ginia case arising under the Webb
Kenyon law to be restored to the
docket for reargument.
In his letter to the attorney general
Iof Alabama, Mr.. Peoples said
+: q am in receipt of yours of the 17th
instant, in reference to the case of the
state of West Virginia against the Ad
ans Express company, now pending in
the supreme court of the United States,
in which you suggest that We join in
brief to be filed by the attorneys
general of the several states as amici
curiae
"In reply I will say that I shall be
very glad to join the attorneys gen.
eral in this matter, but can not say at
this time that I shall have time to
prepare a separate brief. The fall
term of our supreme court has just
convened and my Office is very busy
at this time in the preparation of very
important matters pending in that
court. In addition to this our general
assembly will convene on the second
Tuesday in January and it will hardly
be possible for me to file separate
brief. However, if find that an op-
.portunity presents itself shall be only
too glad to join you and the others in
the matter
Later M. Peoples stated that he
would help in the preparation of the
brief.
The Alabama attorney general writ
ing of the case said:
'Tn my opinion the brief which We
should file should discuss two propo-
sitions:
4. That the Webb-Kenyon law is
constitutional
"2. That the states, under the police
power, nave the right to legislate
against the receipt and possession of
liquor"
