''HIT OIL" IS REPORT
FROM PAINES WELL

Just as we went to press this, Fri
day evening, telephone message
from Charleston announced the news
that oil had been struck in the Paynes
oil well now drilling few miles south
of Charleston.
The message was from a business
man of Charleston who said he got
his information direct from one OF
the officers of the oil company who
had just returned from the well.
The writer visited the oil well on
Thursday, leaving there at p. m
and at that time the drill was in a
sticky blue shale at depth of 144O
feet. The drill struck this sticky blue
shale at 1880 feet and every inch
from that time down the substance
became heavier and more sticky and
a deeper blue color.
The telephone message Friday e.
vening stated that at depth OF
1464 feet the drill struck brown
shale rock of six feet in thickness
and when it penetrated this rock, oil
bubbles showed on the water coming
from the we'll. We hope the telep-
hone message is correct and that they
have struck an oil showing.
If there is an oil showing at 1470
feet, which evidently must be in the
Ripley sands, then when the drill goel
deep enough to penetrate the Eutaw
sands, we will gamble that oil will be
found in paying quantity.
Following is log Of the Paynes
oil well beginning from where the
last published report ended at 1910
feet down. This log and report is
correct and is official, made for the
Herald by Mr.. w. L. Johnson, driller
in charge of the we'll.

questions at issue, among them those
of Danzig and Teschen. Under the
conditions, the Poles would retire to

Chicago, July 14.-Hopes for the
survival of the new fusion party w-L-
at ebb tide as the all night conference
of the new body's resolutions commit
tee dragged along today in an effort to
get together on platform acceptable
to Senator LaFollette.
The extreme left, which yesterday
controlled the amalgamation and
forced it's platform desires upon the
more conservative elements in the con-
vention, stuck snag when it met the
veto power of the probable president
ial nominee of the new party. Forty
Fighters, who constitute the right wing
group of the fusion movement, are
bitterly opposed to the more socialistic
ideas of the radical labor faction In
this stand they have the supper: no,
only of LaFollette but of several mi
nority organizations subscribing to the
political combination.
Single Takers Withdraw.
The first evidence of possible
breaking up of the new party move
ment followed last nights session
when the single takers withdrew,
adopted their own plank platform and
nominated presidential candidates.
For presidency they chose Robert y.
Macauley of philadelphia and for vice
president they selected r. G. Barnum
of Cleveland. They quit the new par
ty, Jerome c. Refs, a single tax leader
said, because it was not only apparent
they could not obtain their platform
desires and a candidate committed to
them but also because they could not
stand the socialistic ideas" of the dom
inant labor group.
The birth Of the new party yester-
day. after five days of conferences,
was attended by tumultouous scenes
involving jealousies and group antag-
onisms. In the very beginning, the
labor party organization took controi
and steered the course until CONSIDER
alton of the platform resolutions was
begun. Several planks had been read
ana approved when forty-eighters be-
gan to interpose strenuous objections
to their relegation to the background.
Peace Making Fails.
There followed quickly demands Tor
revision of the procedure by which
the resolutions were being passed. In
an effort to placate the angry dele
gates. the labor leaders surrendered
the Craftsmanship to Farley Christian
sen, of Utah, who presided over the
original As convention.
The concession failed utterly, now
ever, to iron out the widely divergent
views on platform planks. AS result
the fusion movement was again placeo
in virtually the same position IN Whicl

Leaders of both factions are eager
Ia avert n breach but yesterdays pro
longed session showed plainly tha
their ability to control and direct the
conventions actions has been strained
to the breaking point. The sllghtes
appeal to prejudice and passion, tht
leaders feared last night, would STAR
stampede that would undo all they
had accomplished.

Then, dragging the conductor and
motorman, the two strikers scrambled
out of the car and disappeared.
Fred looked up quickly. The girl WAS
pale with fright and shivcring with cold
and fear. Fred took off his wet cap and,
bowing politely, said gently:
Don't be afraid, miss; l know bit
about running cars, for my uncle is a
motorman. just wrap yourself up in this
big coat the conductor left, and | will take

Then the two walked rapidly to the girl e
home. 1t was a big white mansion in a
large grove. the beautiful grounds full of
fountains and flowers.
As the door opened Grace fell into the

stopped before the door and IN came Mr..
