BILLED WHILE ASLEEP
While Train Stood Still Big Passenger
Engine Dashed into Rear End'and
Ploughed Through?Body Was Burned
Almost Beyond Recognition.
Lynchburg, Va., Nov. 29.?Samuel
Spencer, president of the Southern
Railway Company, and recognized as
one of the foremost men in the development
of the Southern States, was
killed this morning at 6:10 o'clock in
a rear end collision in which two fast
south bound passenger trains were involved
2 miles north of Lynchburg and
a mile north of Lawyers depot. In
the same wrecK three ot ms guests |
were killed. Only Mr. Spencer's private
secretary, E. A. Merrell, of New
^Tork city, and one of the three porters
survived the accident.
Mr. Spencer'8 destination was
Friendship, N. C., where he was going
on a hunting trip, with Messrs.
Schuyler, Fisher Redwood and Merrell
as his guests.
President Spencer and his entire
party, as far as it is known were sleeping
when the collision happened and
the probabilities are that all of them
excepting Dispatcher Davis were killed
instantly. It is certain that life
was extinct before the flames touched
-them. President Spencer's body was
burned almost beyond recognition, as
was that of Mr. Fisher. The body of
Mr. Schuyler was taken from under
the train before it was burned very
much, having been singed only slightly
President Spencer's car was attached
to the rear of the Jacksonville train,
which was standing still when struck.
President Spencer was lying directly
under the big locomotive of the
rear train.. So great was the force of
the impact that the forward train was
sent at least 150 feet ahead, the locomotive
going over and upon the body
of Mr. Spencer. Until after the debris
burned itself out and the engine cooled
off, the bodies could not be removed.
Tne impact drove the combination
car forward and the express car lifted
up together with its truck and crush+V>o
nai> Af\ foof loaTrinor f.Vio TP.
VV1 l/liv VOfi. XV iWVf iVU v iug VXAV AW
mainder of the car strewn with tons
of baggage and negro pass angers who
were pushed back like rats as the express
car crushed the combination
car. The combination car did not
leave the track in clearing and the
express car was hauled to a siding a
mile distant on top, and in the debris
of the combination car. How the
negro passengers in this compartment
which i9 known as the "jim crow"
part of the train, escaped, none of
them being killed, is beyond explanation.
The wreck occurred on the crest of
a steep grade, when the Atlanta train
could not have been running more
than 30 miles an hour, if as fast. Had
it been a mile or two further south,
the number of dead might have been
frightful, as the train was about two
hours behind its schedule, there being
a condition in the grade there that
would mean a speed of more than 60
miles an hour. It was reported at
. first that Engineer Kinney, of Spencer,
N. C., who was in charge of the
engine on the Atlanta ?rain was killed,
but this proves to be incorrect.
Kinney suffered only a few slight
bruises and cuts, which were dressed
and he did'not go to a hospital.

Oo., Dayton, O., writes under date of
Oct. 12, 1906: "Nosena is the only preparation
I have ever used that relieves
my affection so speedily and pleasantly.

Tom Harris is Held for Mrs..
Morgan's Death.
Gaffney, Nov. 23.?The inquest into
the cause of the death of Mrs. Hortencia
Morgan who was murdered last
Tuesday, was held in the court house4
today at 11 o'clock. Sufficient evidence
was adduced to hold Tom Harris,
who was at the home of Mrs. Morgan
at the time of the killing,.witnesses
swearing that they met him on the
road going towards Mrs, Morgan's
house, saw him at the house before
the murder was committed and on
the road leading from Mrs. Morgan's
to Gaffney immediately after the
murder was committed.
The jury found that Mrs. Morgan
came to her death at the hands of
Tom Harris, alias Tom Childers.?The

Conductor Better.
Mr, .T, T. Wessineer, of Lexington, i
a conductor on the Columbia electric
street railway, who was injured
very badly about a month ago in
Lexington by being run over by a
heavy buggy pulled by a runaway
mule, is in the city after being under
a doctor's treatment for the past three
weeks. Mr, Wessinger's right knee
was badly wrenched. He came over
from Lexington yesterday, where he
has been at his parents' home, and
reported his condition to Superintendent
Wallace. Mr. Wessinger's run
is between Olympia and RidgewTood
and his many friends will be glad to j
see him back at his post. He will re- !
sume his duties in about two weeks.

Thirty Thousand Hands Get Ten Per
Cent. Increase.
Fall River, Mass., Nov. 23.?Fall
River's cotton mill employes won a
battle for an increase in wages today
and on Monday next 30,000 operatives
will come under a scale giving them
10 per cent, more than the present
rate.
The granting of the advance by the
manufacturers prevented a strike, the
workmen having voted at meetings
last night to stop work in all mills
next Monday if the new schedule was
not accepted. M. C. D. Borden, an
independent cotton manufacturer,
employing 5,000 operatives, took the
lead in meeting the demands of the
mill hands by announcing that the
scale of wages in his mills would be
raised 10 per cent. No demand had
been made upon the proprietor of the
Fall River iron works mills and his
action practically forced the other
mill managers to grant the increase.
The new pay scale affects 70 corporations
operating 92 mills, besides the
iron works plant. The Manufacturer's
association's agreement to pay the
increase is for a period of six months
but provision is made for extending it.
Between November, 1903, and July,
1904, the Fall River operatives suffered
reductions aggregating 22}4 per
cent. Last spring a part of the cut
was restored, and in view of the continued
prosperous business condition,
the operatives demanded a complete
resumption of the 1903 scale.
It is considered probable that other
cotton mills in New England will follow
the lead taken in this city and
that thousands of outside mill hands
ultimately will be benefitted by the
determined stand taken by the Fall
River unions.
A Western Wonder.
There's a Hill at Bowie. Tex., that's
twice as big ar last year. This wonder
is W. L. Hill, who from a weight of 90
pounds has grown to over 180. He says:
"I suffered with a terrible cough, and
doctors gave me up to die of consumption.
I was reduced to 90 pounds, when
I began taking Dr. King's New Dicovery
for Consumption, Couhgs, Colds. Now,
after taking 12 bottles, I have more than
doubled in and am completly cured."

In Loving Memory of Little
Lela Allain Frick,
Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. H.
Frick, died August the 22d, 1906.
(By one who loved her.)
MY BABY.
Such a little break in the sod
So tiny to be a grave,
Oh! how can I render so soon to God;
The beautiful gift he gave.
Must I put you away my pet,
My tender bud un bloomed;
With the dew of morning upon you yet;
And the blossom all unshown.
My heart is near to break
For the voice I shall not hear;
For the plinging arms around my neck
' And the footsteps drawing near.
We loved her, yes we loved her,
But angles loved her more;
And they have sweetly called her
To yonder^s shining shore.
The golden gates were opened,
A gentle voice said come
And with farewells unspoken,
Darling Allain entered home.
Dear sister and brother do not fear
That your darling has left you,
Sooner or later y>u shall meet her I
In that golden, happy home.
An angel came one solemn eve,
Heaven's glory to bestow
And took our darling from onr sight;
What could we, Lord, at morning
light bnt weep and let her go.
Yet over her little head,
Lying so still on mothers bed,
Through that awful pain,
But yet with all of this, we hope to
meet her again.
Her Aunt Mary.

writes; "I tried several kidney remedies,

took Foley's Kidney Cure. After the

have since passed a rigid examination
