CHRISTIANS MASSACRED.
Turkish Nationalists Burn Greek
Quarter.

London, April ia great fire
and massacre of Christians at Sam
SCUM, on the Black Sea coast of Asia
Minor, were in progress nine days
ago when the Italian steamer Barbita
left there, the steamers officers re-
ported on her arrival at Patras,
Greece, says an Athens dispatch to
the London Times, dated Sunday.
Turkish Nationalist Bashi-Ba-
zouks, headed by Turkish officers
surrounded the Greek quarter ana
set it ablaze, shooting all who at
tempted to escape, the officers de-
clared.
When the steamer sailed the large
Greek church at Samsoun was ablaze
and thousands of Greek women and
children were rushing to the water
front seeking refuge on steamers.
The Barbita sent a wireless mes
sage to an American warship in the
neighborhood urging her to hasten
to the rescue.

WILL TO BE CONTESTED.
Relative of Dead Woman Will OPP
pose Large Gift to Negroes.

An appeal against the probate of
the will Of Mrs. Calista S. Mayhem, of
South Orange, New Jersey, leaving
most of her s1,00O,OO0 estate to
negro homes and institutions in vari-
Gus parts of the country was filed by
the II nieces and nephews, at New
ark, N. j., last week. The date OF
the hearing will be fixed this week in
the orphans court.
Mrs. Mayhem, who was rormerly
president of the South Orange col
lege, died December II last at the
age of SO. For years she had done
welfare work, chiefly among negroes.
The petitioners allege that their
aunt was of unsound mind and had
been unduly Influenced by persons
unknown to them. 1t is also contend
ed that she did not sign the will in
the presence of witnesses.

WATER SPOUT CHAsES VESSEL.
Passengers Bet on Result Before Re
alizing That Tie Meant Death.

New York, April 15.-The story of
a gigantic water spout, which chased
the Cunard Liner Carmania half an
hour and then suddenly subsidized
when it was almost upon the hard
driven ship, was told by the officers
and passengers when she arrived to-
day after a round trip to the Near
East.
The liner was about 500 miles out
of New York when the spout was
sighted At first, passengers said, it
appeared as slight disturbance of
water about eight miles astern. Then
the waves were twisted and churned
and hurled skyward with terrific force
in an ever increasing volume. For a
time, they stated, it stood still while
Captain Nelson, after pronouncing it
a big water spout, ordered the liner
sent ahead at full speed. At almost
the same moment, the spout seemed
to take wings and rush after the big
ship.
Passengers crowded aft. Smoke
belched from the ships tunnels while
the Carmania strained every atom of
her strength to escape. AS the spout
travelled it grew larger. 1t widened
rapidly and lowered high in the air,
throwing off spray.
At first, passengers thought that it
was just a wonderful phenomena.
They began to bet on the speed, on
whether it could catch the boat, or
pass it. Then as it lowered in the
Carmania's wake, gaining rapidly it
suddenly occurred to the passengers
that it carried certain death with it
that the race was one for life.
The spout continued to gain until
it was almost on the ship. The pas
sengers huddled, awe stricken, along
the decks watching the oncomfng
mass of water. 1t had only to reach
out for the ship-and it subsided as
suddenly as it had risen. Five min
utes after there was nothing to show
there had been any disturbance of the
placid ocean.
Captain Nelson smiled when he
was asked about it.
"I'll never tell what would have
happened, if it had caught u.s." he
said. "In fact, I never could have
told. We would have been listed as
missing on the marine register

their effects safely from the burning
structure and carried them to safety
without mishap. This building was
also a frame structure, and all that
remained of the Brabham hall the
next morning were several gaunt
chimneys extending skyward.
With only one dormitory left on
the campus to house the cadets,
something had to be done. Tempo
rary arrangements were made to
take care of all the boys comfortably
for the rest of the session, but the
next session, when a large enroll
ment is expected, loomed omniously
before the authorities.
Hence, a building committee was
named by the board of control few
days after the last fire. This com
mittee has kept constantly at the
task, which was by no means a small
one, due to the financial condition OF
the people generally. To finance the
project meant careful study and So
Der thought. Not doubling, however
that ways and means would be
sought and found, the committee laid
it's plans for the erection of dormi-
tory. An automobile tour of inspec-
ton was arranged by the committee
and many schools in the upper part
of the state were visited. Modern
dormitories were inspected and
ideas were gathered from many
points. The committee feels that the
collation. of these ideas will result
in Carlisle having not only as mod
ern an establishment as any school
in the state, but perhaps better, as
the committee had the opportunity
of studying any defects as well as
improvements in dormitories.
Just as soon as these ideas and
suggestions could be put into con-
crete form, architects were called
into conference. LaFaye & LaFaye
were selected as the schools archi-
tects. The firm went to work at
once on the plans, sending engineers
to Bamberg. Not only were plans
made for the new dormitory, but a
general scheme of development of
the school property was worked out,

Kills
Saluage Foreman

Charleston, April 13.-O. L. Hill,
white, foreman for the Columbia
Salvage corporation, was blown into
bits about 1880 o'clock this morn
ing when an explosion of 10000
pounds of black powder occurred in
an ammunition salvage magazine
near the ordnance depot, North
Charleston. More than so box cars
were damaged and trackage wrecked.
1t will never be known what caused
the terrific blast.
Fragments of Hills body were col
lected over a considerable area and
placed in a coffin for interment. His
cap was found about two hundred
yards from the magazine, the walls
of which were made with boxes filled
with sand with a canvass roof. Hill
and three negro laborers were seen
about the magazine just before the
explosion. 1t is said that the negroes
were practically unhurt. For many
miles around the explosion was felt
Glass was shattered in plants in the
suburbs of Charleston.
For some time the salvage com.
pany has been taking black powder
out OF defective or or out of date
shells, this powder being placed in
metal kegs. The magazine was not
connected with the magazines of the
ordnance department, but was con-
siderable distance from the nearest
Where the salvage magazine stood
is a crater 20 feet deep and more
than 60 feet across. Nothing remains
of the metal kegs except fragments.
1t is believed that one or two kegs
of powder were first detonated and
that almost Immediately all the rest
of the 500 kegs went off with terrible
force. A burning brand fell a short
distance away among pile of INT
shells and among those who appre-
ciated the peril there was consterna-
ton. At the imminent risk of their
lives, Chief Thompson of the govern
ment port terminals fire department
and Lieut.. A. L. Violancey of the
quartermaster corps extinguished the
fire with chemicals.
While it is not known how the ex-
plosion occurred, it is reported that

Inheritance Law
Taken to Court

Colum oia April PA temporary
Injunction against the South Caro-
lima Tax Commission restraining 1t
from enforcing the Inheritance Tax
Act, passed at the last session of the
general assembly, was ordered this
afternoon by Chief Justice Eugene b.
Gary and was made returnable be-
fore the state Supreme court April
"a at 10 o'clock in the morning. The
action is brought by ]. Edwin Belser,
of Columbia, administrator of the es-
tate of the late John E. LoWery, of
this city, who died December 20,
1920, leaving an estate valued at
$4,000.
The contention is that the section
of the act providing for tax against
estates which are in process of ad-
ministration, but on which final settle
ment has not been made, is retroac-
tive and therefore unconstitutional.
The state tax commission is in doubt
about the Interpretation of this Sec
ton and therefore welcomes the suit
to clarity the act.
The action involves large amount
of revenue to the state, as there are
estates in every section of South
Carolina for which final settlement
has not been completed, the total
value of which runs into millions of
dollars. Large estates now being
administered because death occurred
during the past two years are those
of the late F. W. Wagner, of Char
lesion; the, late J. J. Brown, of An
derson; the late B. L. Abney, Of Co.
lumbia; the late Mrs. Sarah Des-
portes, of Columbia, and the late
John L. Mimnaugh. These estates,
it is estimated, will aggregate more
than 100000. The petition for
an injunction said that the 'Inheri-
tance Tax Act as it is respectfully
submitted is by it's terms clearly per-
spective in it's operation relating ex-
clusively to estates which shall here
after pass or be transferred by will
or inheritance and the administra-
tive of which shall be hereafter be-
gun. AS appears from numerous
clauses and provisions thereof, that

struction of the Bamberg-Branch-
vile road, published in the last issue
of The Herald, the commission has
advertised for bids from contractors
for the work, and the bids will be
opened on the above mentioned date.
The exact length of the road, from
the corporate limits of Bamberg to
