the market and chemicals of great
value have been allowed to run to
waste. But these chemicals from
gases escaping from smelters, coke
plants and the like are now being
saved to the amount of millions of
dollars. This is the bright side. We
have all the baser material essential
but they must be put to the largest
use in modern industry by wise ma
tional policy. The industrial output Of
America is larger than other nations
The benefit to the producer is the real
issue of efficiency and preparedness.
Engineering skill is making the most
of natures bounty to conserve it. In
regard to the coal situation, DR.. Smith
said 1t was really up to the consumer
to make coal 60 further and he ad-
vised cooperation between producer
and consumer especially in buying
coal in the summer. One of the great
problems is the marketing of the coal
and delivering in the cities. Besides
considering the raw materials, we
must consider also the energy used
to fashion these for the use of man.
Abundant and we'll distributed power
must be had. The greatest resource
for future industry Is IN the streams
and rivers for electric power. though
in some place steam power Is cheaper.
The utilization of water power In
wolves a large outlay and well organ
lied corporations to control. Hydro
electric power is to come into larger
use on the farm. Later the question
of effective control of electric power
will come up, as to who is the pre-
ferred consumer. To conserve your
! share in the nations wealth is So
cial obligation and a civic duty.

Cobb, of Athens, have forwarded his
name to President Woodrow Wilson

pointee to the Supreme court of thu
United States, to fill the vacancy caus
ed by the death of Justice JOSEPH

county, and is well known here, where

ter county friends of Judge Cobb are

lis decisions are widely known among
the bar of the state and nation, where
he was known as high type of judge.
At present Judge Cobb is practicing
law in Athens, and because of his ad-
fitness for the position on the
highest bench in the country, his
friends throughout the state and ma
tion are urging his appointment.
Alex c. King, of Atlanta, is a prom
irent name mentioned in connection
with the appointment, and the name OF
Judge Horace NJ. Holden, of Athens,
has been advanced.

Judge Cotb, it will be pleasing to his
r4any friends in Americus and Sumter

YOUNGSTOWN. O., Jan. lO.-The
grand jury today began an investiga-
tion into the causes of the rioting dur
ing Friday night at East Youngstown,
the result of which proved so disas-
trous alike for property owners who
sustained heavy losses, and those par
ticipating in the disturbances. Over
two hundred arrests III connection with
the occurrences of the night have al
ready been made, and the Jail is
taxed to its upmost to provide room
for those locked upon charges of riot
ing and arson. Others are yet to be
taken into custody, but officers are pro-
ceeding slowly, owing to peculiar con-
ditions prevailing here.
The gates of the East Youngstown
plant of the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube company, which have been closed
since the inauguration of the strike
which eliminated in Friday nights
riots, are again open today, and quiet
prevails throughout the city. Many
of the employees of the company who
took no part in the disturbances here
reported for work this morning, and
the task of cleaning up the big plant
was commenced. AS soon as this is
completed usual operations will be re-
sumed. The Youngstown Sheet and
Tube company, it is announced, is a
subsidiary of the United States Steel
corporation.

DUPONT POWDER.
PLANT IN PENN

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Jan. 10
Three Workmen were killed and sew
eral persons slightly burned in an ex-
plosion of two tons of smokeless pow
der, which wrecked the Carnes Point
plant of the Dupont Powder company,
twenty-five miles from here. Flying
debris, thrown into the air by the ire,
mendous explosion, was scattered in
every direction, bits of steel and pieces
of shattered times being picked up in
some instances as far as mile dis .
tanct from the scene. Those injured
were all employees the uDpont COM
pany, but not engaged at their duties
when the explosion occurred
The noise of the explosion was plain
Ily audible here, though the Carnes
Point plant is twenty-five miles away.
The vibration was very feeble here,
aid no damage was Occasional thereby.
Passengers on board a ferry boat leav-
irg the Carneys' Point wharf at the
time of the explosion, tell vivid stories
Of the destruction wrought by the big
blast. The ferry boat on which they
travelled was lifted partly from the
water by the force of the explosion,
and parts of the cabins were badly
damaged. All of the windows of the
ferry-boat were broken, and one or two
of the passengers sustained minor in
juries.
According to the story of an employe
of the Dupont company, who was an
eyewitness of the disaster, the explos.
ion occurred in the number 2 wet
house, and in the number 2 blending
tower Of the plant, both explosions be-
ing simultaneous. This employe de-
clares stoutly that outside agencies are
responsible for the disaster, but Off
cials of the company deny that such
could have been the case. Wire COM
munication with the plant was inter
rppted shortly before the explosion,
however, and the county authorities at
Carnes' Point, are inclined to give Gre
dence to the employees story.
Following an investigation and def
mite identification of the dead today,
the plant superintendent issued for
nal statement in which he said the
dead men had no business being in
the vicinity of the explosion, and that
had they been about their own duties
would not have been injured An in
vastigatiOn of the catastrophe is now
under way, county officials being as
sisted in their work by detectives en-
ployed by the Dupont company.
