IL hH WDl!am Archer, superintend-
e.. OF 10 ;lue Ridge railway, that
the J."lt department. Of this railroad
W.. moved to Anderson Oct. 1st,
1921, and that plans are now beins
made to prepare the offices they are
to occupy. The bringing of the aud
iting department Of this railroad TO
Anderson again means q great deal
for the people of Anderson and for
the patrons Of the Blue Ridge rail-
way in general, in the matter of ex-
pediting claims and adjustment Of
them. The removal will also mean
the employment of some ten persons
in this department. of the railroad.
The auditing department of the
Blue Ridge was formerly located in
Anderson, and the offices occupied
the upstairs Of the building now usel
by the Anderson Storage Battery Co.
and Stuart & Brown. These Offices
were moved to Atlanta seven years
ago, and there they were consolidate
ed with other subsidiary lines Of the
Southern Railway, and were handled
in connection with some seven or
eight other lines Of about the same
size as the Blue Ridge.
In March Of this year, however,
the general office was moved FROM
Atlanta to Washington, and the next
change is the separation Of the vari~
Gus lines and the removal Of the rec
ords Of the railroad back to Ander-
SON.
The past records Of the railroad
are very voluminous and space is be.
ing arranged now for their storage.
A. great quantity Of these records
will be brought to Anderson before
the first Of next month, and the Of
fees will be all ready for the force
TO move in and take charge.
The Office here will be under the
supervision or j. NJ. Forney, general
auditor Of subsidiary lines OF the
Southern railway, whose headquar-
ters are at Danville, Va. The local
Office will be in charge of. o. Fl. Pat-
rick, chief clerk. A force Of from
six to eight assistants, stenograph ,rs
and clerks will come to Anderson
from Washington.

TEN ARE KILLED IN EXPLOSION.
Second Serious Fire at Atlantic Re-
fining Co.'S Plant at Breeze Point.

philadelphia, Pa, Sept. 14.-Ten
men were killed to-day and more
than a score injured, several Of whom
are expected to die, in the second
serious fire to visit the big Point
Breeze plant of the Atlantic Refining
Company IN month Three more
men are reported missing, and they
may have been burned to death be-
meath the flaming tanks Of petro-
leum.
The fire was preceded by terri
fic explosion, which killed several Of
the workmen Instantly and drenched
the others with flaming oil. Only
prompt action by the company's Or
ganized rescue squads prevented the
death list from mounting higher, so
witnesses declared.
The explosion occurred in the
north section Of the yard, where sew
eral hundred men are employed IN
the manufacture Of naphtha. Many
OF these work in underground tun-
nels where fires that boil the crude
Product into nanhtha are maintain
ed.
Some Of the dead were trapped III
these tunnels by rivers Of liquid fire
let loose upon them by the blast.
1t is feared that the three miss
ing men were caught in these tun-
nels, and no hope is expressed for
them If such be the case.
Physicians reported that several
Of the injured were probably fatally
burned. Close to a score were so
badly hurt that they had to rema in
in the hospital, while a few others
were sent to their homes.
Officials of the Atlantic Refining
Company were unable early tonight
to explain the explosion. The first
explosion was on Aug. IA, when five
men were killed and property dam
aged to the extent OF million dol
lars.
