Dr. Burts is one of the leading Baptist divines in South Carolina. Appointments of state executive committeemen will he announced shortly and the complete organiza tion of the state for the movement will be effected as rapidly as possible. The South Carolina campaign is part of the general Southeastern ? campaign to enforce prohibition and to wage a campaign of education and Americanization. The campaign will co-operate with D. J. Gantt, recently appointed by the government to su pervise the enforcement of prohibi tion in the Southeast. The necessity for such a campaign has been brought home to prohibitionists of South Carolina by the increased ac tivity of moonshiners and bootleg gers and by deaths from wood alco hol, sold as corn liquor. Leaders of the drys declare that the hardest fight for prohibition is just ahead and that the enforcement of prohibition will be more difficult than its enactment into law. Returning Men Fired on by Radical Workmen. Richmond, Va., Nov. 23-Govern or Westmoreland Davis left tonight for St. Charles, Lee County, Virgin ia, where he will take personal charge of the 400 militiamen sent from various state points this morn ing. If it is understood Governor Da vis will make a personal app?al on behalf of the state to the miners to return to work. A long-distance telephone message from St. Charles, a little mining camp near the Kentucky line, says that the town resembles an armed ?camp tonight. Radical miners are re ported to have mounted high power ed guns in the hillsides and open fire at everp miner who attempts to en ter any of the shafts which have been closed down since John Lewis is sued that strike order several weeks ago. A number of the loyal miners, who desired to resume operations, have had dangerously close calls. Threats also have been made, according to long-distance advices, that in event the loyal miners persist in resuming work, the mine entrances will he blown up. This latter threat is said to have caused the loyal miners to ap peal to Governor Davis for assis tance. The governor Saturday night mo bilized five companies of militia, about 500, and taking these men left Sunday morning, taking along many rounds of ammunition. The com panies called out are Richmond, Charlottsville, Lynchburg and Peters burg. St. Charles is a small mining town located on the state line. The coal shafts are said to extend from Vir ginia through into Kentucky and in dications tonight were that the Ken tucky authorities would be asked to assist in restoring order, since the extent of the shafts permitted the men to escape from one state into the other. While not definitely known, it is stated tonight that reports had reach ed Governor Davis charging that the entire trouble is due to the fact that some of the operators failed to keep their agreement, and refused to per mit some of the men who had gone on strike to re-enter the mines. They are said to have then assumed a radi cal attitude and mounted guns on the hillside ready to prevent the re-open ing of the shafts. Only a Cold.
