mine, where At miners have been en-
tombed for nearly two weeks. Drills.
capable of 1000 revolutions a min
ute' were being used. Only 142 feet
OF rock now separates the Kennedy
and Argonaut shafts at this point.
on the $500 foot level of the Ken
nedy mine, 140 feet more of progress
were needed at a o'clock todav to
reach the rs feet Of hard rock sepa-
rating the rescue crew there from the
4'2oo foot level of the Argonaut.
Fred l.. Lowell, safety engineer of
the California industrial accident
commission, announced that a clear
space had been reached and the res
cue workers could see ahead for 25
feet. This fortunate circumstance will
pull down the handicap of the Argon-
aut miners, who are working on the
$500 foot level in the race against
the Kennedy crew on the 5000 foot
level, to release their entombed com.
rades and incidentally win the $4,000

my first impression is a feeling
OF profound gratitude to the men and

Jealous and unselfsh support during
the campaign.
TO the people of South Carolina,
l desire to say that the keen interest
shown in the issues of the campaign
makes the result an Endorsement more
of the principles that I advocated
than of myself.
81 shall endeavor as far as within
me lies to see that the affairs of the
state are economically managed. We
are living in times of depression and
the hand of adversely falls heavily
upon man. There must therefore be
fair and just distribution of taxa
ton. We must not take a backward
step and fair and just distribution
Of the burden means the maintenance
of efficiency.
South Carolina has no foreign ele-
ment, our white citizenship are all
one people, with the same traditions,
hopes and aspirations; and sincere
ly trust that there will be no lines
OF division, but that together We may
work out the destiny of vigorous
and valorous commonwealth.
II realize the great responsibility
that will assume as governor and
l most earnestly beg the cooperation
of all citizens, their sympathy and
their prayers, in my efforts to ad-
minister impartially the affairs of this
state. In the campaign / made no
personal attack upon anyone. am
leaving it, as entered it, without ma

the good will and sympathy of every
one. 1t is my purpose to work out our
problems for the best good of all. i
