Anderson, Oct. ga large gas
truck filled with 450 gallons of gaso-
line was burned Saturday between
this point and Pelzer. The, truck
belonged to the Gulf Refining COM

caused by the truck back firing.
When the driver saw that the truck
was likely to catch from the blaze
he jumped but was painfully burned
on, the left arm before he got his
clothing extinguished. His trousers
also, caught. The fire spread very
rapidly, catching the gasoline, on the
outside Of the tank. Soon the tank
got SO, hot that it exploded, and the
gasoline poured over the chassis and
the ground and the flames went up
for@hundred feet or more. The
truck was entirely consumed.

The death of Kink Alexander gives

stantine was reported, according to
Swiss dispatches Of October II, as in
tending to take advantage of the situ-
alton created by his sons grave i'll
ness by returning to Greece and
claiming the throne. ~ /.
About the same time a regency was
suggested, and Constantine gave his
opinion of this as follows: - = "
Sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof. I will not think of a re-
gency yet. My plans are those of my
people," ... a. Is
= Premier Venizelos on Sunday last
expressed himself as confident that
Prince Paul, Constantine's third son,
would be prevented from taking the
throne by his father, as the latter
would learnfrom the coming elections
that there was no prospect for his re-
turn. g. -. 49,.
Both Prince Arthur of Connaught
and Prince Charles of Belgium, have
been mentioned as possible candidates
for the Greek throne but Premier
Venizelos has said that foreign candi-
dates were not being considered.

will be reconvened owing to the kings
death to consider what steps are to
