If WOIsiAIEN ARE KILLED
And 30 Others lnjuI Il by An ENplo-
sion in n Powder Plant.

Gibbstown, y. j., May l3.--At
least II men were killed and about
80 injured to-day in a terrific cXplo-
sion at the Rcpauno plant OF the l)u-
POnt Powder Company. near here.
The blast occurred in the building in
which trinitrololuol is manufactured
and wrecked that structure and three
others. The cause OF the explosion
is undetermined. All those believed
to have been in the building where
the first explosion occurred are dead.
Trinitrololuol is not considered an
explosive risk and officials believe
that it caught fire before exploding.
This blast caused a nearby building
in which nitro -benZol is manufac' ur-
cd to blow up. SO great was the
force that two buildings some dist
ance away in which huNite was manu-
facturcd were wrecked, but the eX-
plosive did not go OFF.
Many OF those killed and injured
were outside the buildings involved
and were struck by flying debris.
Some OF the dead were so badly man
glcd that identification was difficult.
Trinitrololuol and nitro-benZol are
used in filling shells and mines.

Editor keowee Courier-Dear Sir:
A dear. lovable old lady Of the ancicn
regime, whose piety is beautiful and
to send this simple plea, that was
printed in the newspapers OF the State
from Charleston to Spartanburg some
five years ago, with the request that
it be reprinted at this time. Her
sons crops are suffering sorely In
response | gently urged that the Gus
tom prevailing among newspapers
was not to reprint matter that had
once seen the light, and that was es-
pecially true in respect to verse. But
her reply was that a good prayer
would bear repetition.
This dear old-young lady has a
mind as crystal clear as the tone Of a
silver bell and as sweet in its mani
fcstations. She has scrap-book-
or rather. a young library Of scrap
books-and in one Of them she
showed me the clipping containing
this prayer-pocm from the News and
Courier, OF Charleston, July 3, 1911,
and then an editorial from the Laily
Mail. OF Anderson, giving its opinion
that ''poctry beats hanging up a
black-snake by the tail all hollow for
fetching rain" for the county had
been Hooded since it had printed
"'rhc Angel OF the Rain" Then, in
| the sweet, old octogcnarian's quaver-
| ing handwriting follows the COM
| mcnt: "Religion. not superstition; :;
Prayer. not poetry, reached the
| Thronc.'
| She has then inserted an editorial
| from Spartanburg newspaper de-
| ~ an i
propricty. Of praying for rain. This
| editorial had been printed and widely
copied before "Thc Angel of the
Rain" was written or printed. Then
she has another clipping from the
same Spartanburg paper printing
'Thc Angel Of the Rain" and taking
back in toto its omnibus criticism of
| prayers for rain.
| She and the writer differ on several
snb-minor religious doctrinal points
! and for many years, and in all his
wandcrings, she has followed him
| though in no wise related, with writ
! ten and printed arguments and tracts
in support OF her contentious. She
is notably strong for StOnewall Jack
son and against taking up collections
publicly in houses Of worship. She
is a typc--oh. how stcadfast and wor-
