girl, not seeing the car, stepped out
III front of it and was struck by the
fender, which threw her down. the
back of her head striking the curb
ing, fracturing the skull.
Physicians were immediat civ sum-
moned and it was then discovered that
her condition was prccarious, but it
was determined to try to take her to
the Sumter Hospital hoping that an
operation might save her life. The
party left for Sumter about three
o'clock in the afternoon, but just as
the city limits of Sumter was reached
she passed away.
The deplorable tragedy cast a
gloom OF sadness over the entire town

and other loved ones. She had a yery
sweet disposition and was loved by ali

and greatly interested in her Sunday
School from which she had not missed
single Sunday for more than three
years; not only was she faithful in
attending herself, but frequently soil
cited others to go with her. Only a
little girl, but with a faith and zeal
of mature Christian woman, doing
what she could for her Master.

MEN ENTRAPPED
IN BURNING MINE

Darlington, KY, Nov. 16.-Fire
near the opening o fthe Arnold mine
one half mile east of here, has en-
trapped 16 men and with the con-
fiagration growing in extent, little
hope is held Of rescuing them.
The fire, discovered late this af-
ternoon, was started from defective
electric wiring in room near the
opening. and quickly spread. The
mine is drift with no shafts, max
ing rescue possible only through the
one opening. The fire can be heard
blazing under the ground and smoke
is pouring forth in large volumes.
The men entrapped, consisting of
three white men and 13 negroes, are
three miles back from the entrance
and it is feared that they will suf-
focate from the thick smoke. ANY
attempt at rescue thus far has been
without result an dan effort is now
being made to reverse the air through
the air shaft thus keeping the smoke
from the miners.
The mine is owned by the st. Ber-
nard Coal company Of Evansville, Ind
A call was sent to Evansville for
the mine rescue car there but it is
at Winslow, Ind, too far from the
fire to be taken there in time for
use.
At 8 o'clock tonight when the fire
had been raging almost seven hours
the mine officials held little hope of
rcscuing the entomed miners alive
1t was feared that they already were
dead due to suffocation.
The rescue workers, however, ex-
pressed the belief that tie men
might still be alive if they we're able
to barricade themselves against the
flames and smoke and get some of the
air being forced through an emer-
gency pipe from compressers to the
iinpcrlled men. The usual air sup
ply was cut off, when the fire ori-
ginated in the main air course.
Trained rescue crews from the
West Kentucky Coal company of
Sturgis, KY, a few miles away have
arrived and are working with the
st. Bernard rescue corps.

CONFLICT IN Law
OF PROHIBITION
Decision of United States Circuit
Judge
SOUTH CAROLINA CASE
Judgment of Lower Court in Case of
Bruce Reed Reversed.

Roanoke, Va, Nov. 16.-That the
Volstead prohibition law and the law
IN effect prior to the passage Of the
Volstead act, are in conflict is the
burden of an opinion handed down
by Judge Martin A. Knapp of the
United State. circuit court of appeals
for the fourth federal circuit, a copy
OF which WIS made public here today
by Joseph II. Chitwood, acting dis
trict attorney for the Western Vir-
ginia district.
The opinion, according to Mr.. Chit
wood, was rendered in the case of
Bruce Reed, plaintiff, in error,
against j. William Thurmond, United
States attorney for Western South
Carolina. Reed, according to Mr..
Chltwood, was convicted on a charge
of unlawfully aiding and abetting in
the removal of quart of liuuor.
upon which the tax imposed by law
mad not been paid. Mr.. Chitwoou
added that Reed was fined 5000 and
sentenced to five months in Jail for
violation of Section 1896 of the re-
rised statutes.
Judge Knapps opinion, according
TO Mr.. Chitwood, holds that Reeds
convection can not stand if Section
1896 of the revised statutes was re-
pcalcd or superseded by the act of
October 2S, 1919 commonly known as
the Volstead act which went into
effect for all purposes now in hand,
January II, 1920, the date Of adop-
ton.
Judge Knapp's decision concludes:
ITO hold that the old law is con-
tlnued would be to hold that two in
consistent sets of statutory pro-
visions furnishing the same substan-
lal act, and with differing penalties
were Of force, and that person could
be prosecuted and punished under
Section 3 and Section 6 of the new
statute for transporting any liquor
at all without the required permit
and at the same time prosecuted and
punished under the provisions of
Section 1896 for transporting liquor
without having previously paid the
tax that he is forbidden by law to
pay"
The judgment of the lower court
was reversed and new trial or
dered.
