Heavily increased forces today
were engaged in the herculean ef-
forts of seeking to recover the
! bodies of seven men buried in the
great pit of the Blue Ridge Lime
and Stone company, near Fletch-
err, where 100000 tons of earth
and rock caved in there yesterday
| afternoon.
All night a crew worked futile
ly at the task, large food lights
illuminating the pit, over 600 feet
in length, where a 90-foot wall
crashed without warning.
Near zero weather made steady
work for any one crew impossible,
and not only were mems bodies
numbed but from time to time the
airline equipment for drilling into
the great boulders which make up
the great mass of earth and stone
at the bottom of the pit froze as
the men attempted to use it, while
the cold also made it difficult To
keep up pressure on the steam
, shovel. .
An index of the enormity OF
the task which faces the mer
seeking to recover the bodies OF
, the victims was seen last night
when "a sticks of dynamite which
had been applied to a single large
/ boulder failed to move it.
| The force of approximately So
men which spent the night at the
site of the tragedy worked on,
however. in crews of 10 or IL. as
the weather would permit use Of
equipment, and this was increased
by the addition Of drills froin
nearby quarries, while W. n.
Lance of the Blue Ridge Lime
Kiln in that section lent a force
of about % men to assist in the
recovery of bodies. o.,
Guy Jordan. superintendent Of
the state highway prison camp in
this county provided additional
manpower for the task and three
: truck loads of prisoners, includ-
ing about so more men arrived on
the scene from that institution
early today.
Despite the continuous efforts
the only sign that was apparent
early this morning showing that
there had been life where the men
are now working to recover the
bodies, was the trickling of bloody
water from beneath the huge pile
! of debris into the water at the
bottom of the pit.

A UNITED COUNTRY

There are no politics at Washington
or anywhere else today, for the entire
country is united as it has not been united
before since war times.
Capital and labor are meeting in the
friendliest spirit and republicans and
democrats are fraternizing
miracle has quietly been accom-
plished The rich and the poor are work
ing together for the best interests of the
whole people.
There can be only one result of such
a movement on the part of any people It
must be successful.
A country with the tremendous nat
ural wealth and resources of the United
States must benefit from the result of such
united popular effort.
Leadership of the right type and Of
the miracle.
The United States, under the present
leadership of the country, is certain to be
the first of the great nations to weather
the current depression
And because the United States is the
greatest nation of the world, its recovery
must be the signal and the start of the re-
covery of the rest of the nations of the
world
The old motto UNITED we stand ;
divided, we fall has once again proved
its wisdom.

UNCLAIMED MILLIONS

In view of the conditions which have
prevailed during the last four years it
would seem that almost anyone who had
ready money available would be inquiring
about it, especially if it were not produc-
ing any income.
Yet the treasurer of the United
States recently stated that more than SO
million dollars due American citizens as
principal and interest on matured Liberty
bonds and Victory notes remained I'M
claimed in the treasury.
Many theories are advanced concern
ing this seeming indifference on the part
Of holders of these government obliga-
tons, each of which may be correct as to
certain portions of the large sum in
volved
Some of these bonds and notes have
doubtless been destroyed by fire or other
wise, others have been hidden away and
forgotten; still other holders do not know
that their securities have been called for
redemption, while some know they can
get their money but prefer to leave it with
Uncle Sam.
1t has been rumored that a good
many purchasers of Liberty bonds thought
they were simply donating the amount
paid to help the country win the war, and
at least one case is known in which the
holder of Liberty bond inquired of the
treasury to find out when he must pay in
terest on it.
Whatever the reason for not pre-
senting these bonds and notes for pay
ment, the government is not doing the
worrying. If no claim is made for any
amounts due, the treasury is in just that
much

what every young girl is told before mar

will find indispensable to know if she Is to

to sell such book over the counter, but
ON receipt of the price, four pengoe. it will
be sent, discreetly packed, to any address =
The price quoted is about the equiva-
lent of QUE dollar. so orders poured in by
the thousands. Not only young girls. but
persons of both sexes and all ages. bought
eagerly in the expectation of thrills
The books were delivered as prom
iscd but were found disappointing. Some
customers prosecuted the bookseller for
fraud. but he was acquitted. II was held
by the court that the books sold through
the advertisement really contained infor-
nation which "a young girl should have
before marriage"
They were cook books.
