A NEW PARTY.

Some of the leading thinkers of the nation have for
some time been urging the formation of new party to
include the best in the two old parties and to be called
either the Repubcan-Democratic Party or the Dem
ocratic-Republican Party" The argument used, and it
is notcaby true is that there cleavage in both par
ties that is beyond compromise radical element has
erept inn both parties and has caused discord And
there are Republicans who wholly out of sympathy
with the present policies of that party and the same can
be said Of the Democrats YET this lack of agreement
with they party is not compelling enough to cause them
TO change from one party to the other.
party leaders who have been dead for twenty or
more years could come back they would be at loss to
know which was their old party. Opportunism is the
practise Of both parties now There is singular lack of
constructive craftsmanship Politicians have taken the
conro and maneuver solely to win elections Is is cer-
tain that new party that gave evidence of carrying out
American ideals and showed signs of beng led by real
statesmen would appeal to many thinking people.

Four Miners Killed
And Four Injured in
Blast at Birmingham

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 81
Four negroes were killed today and
four badly injured at No. ~ mine,
Iocena, of the Tennessee Coal, Iron
and Railroad company by a gas ex-
plosion in the northeast entry of the
mine. The men were killed instant
ly, three of them being badly burned
by the flash Of the ignition of the
gas.
They are Herman Floyd, John
Spates, and Sam Barnes, of Docena,
and James King, Pratt City.
The men had gone to work at the
1880 shift and were on their way to
the part of the mine to which they
were assigned, when the gas in the
passage exploded. It was a local
explosion and practically no dam.
age was done in the mine. The four
dead were the only ones in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the explosion at
the time.
General Manager Edwin Ball
General Superintendent J. M. Nc
Hugh and others inspected the scene
of the accident in the mine this aft
ernoon. They reported that the pas
sage had been declared safe after
inspection this morning and the ex-
plosion is supposed to have been
caused from a rapid accumulation
Of gas ignited by the miners lamp

for 26 and 1-3 hours.
When Wilbur Wright, in a heav
ier-than-air machine, flew $50 feet
at Kitty Hawk, n C., on Deem

ed one of the marvels of the cen
fury. The whole world rang with
the accomplishment.
Yesterday, a monoplane, piloted by
Edward Stinson, accompanied by
Lloyd Bertaud, & mechanic, finished
a continuous flight of &c hours, 10
minutes, 35 seconds. In eighteen
years a span of less than a minute
had been stretched to more than a
day and a night. Yet the marvellous
performance at Mineola is heralded
as simply the breaking of worlds
endurance flight in aviation.
While the advance in the science
of ffying has been both rapid and

shows that the progress came not
by leaps and bounds, but ratfl~-
through hundreds of experiments,

.OKEFENOKEE SWAMP.
IS GIVEN BOOST

WAYCROSS, Ga, Dec. 31.-Prob-
ably the most distinct recognition
given the Okefenokee swamp within
recent years is the resolution passed
by the national game conference, at
it's meeting in New York city short
ly before the holidays, asking that
the great wonderland be set apart las
a national game preserve. An
nouncement of the passage Of the
resolution was received in Waycross
this week from DR.. J. M. Reade, of
Athens, who has recently been elect
ed as secretary Of the Okefenokee
society.
The Okefenokee society has been
very active within recent years in
attracting attention to the wonder.
land Of nature located below. Way
cross, and in efforts to have the area
set aside as national reservation.
This year two great exploration trips
have been made into the swamp
that have probably done more to
attract attention than any other
agency. The first trip was made by
DR.. A. H. Wright, of the faculty
Of Cornell university, who spent
several months in the swamp MAX
ing a detailed study Of the animal
and plant life found there. DIR.
Wright proposes to publish a book
on the swamp at an early date.
The other trip was the two-day
exploration of the Boy Scouts, who
were accompanied by newspaper
writers and photographers, and
whose articles on the life found
there have been read by thousands.
This section of south Georgia is
fully aware Of the opportunities the
great swamp offers as national
| reservation, and should other sec
tions of the United States evidence
as much interest, it is almost a Ger.
tainty that the area would be sci
aside by congress. The fact, that
DR.. Wr.ght's book will be published
sometime during the coming year
and that several eastern organiza
lions have evidenced an interest in
the project is expected to aroSce
enough interest. to have the SWAMP
set aside as a game preserve at least
