President Samuel Spencer, of the Southern Railway, was killed this morning in a wreck which occurred at Lawyer, 11 miles south of Lynchburg. Several members of the party who were in the President Spen cer's car are reported to be sen lously injured. At the general offices of the Southern Railway the following statement has been issued1 "Southern Railway passenger train No. 33, left Washington last night late, by reason of the con-r gested holiday traffic About 5:30, at Lawyer, Va on a por tion of the road protected by the block system, the train wa3 stop ped for slight repairs on the couplings. Passenger train 37, following 33 and being given a clear block, ran into the rear of 33, resulting in a serious wreck. "Our present advices indicate the collision was probably due to the negligence of the operator in allowing 37 to pass the block. "President Spencer and party of friends were in the officer's car at the rear of 33 and the re? ports are that President Spencer was killed and several of the party seriously injured. Watt Davis, special train dis patcher of the Southern, is among the killed. President Spencer's boby was burned beyond recognition, Philip Schuyler of New York, one of the President Spencer's party, was also killed, as was Spencer's special train dispatch? er, D, W, Davis, of Alexandria, and Engineer Terry, One man, not yet identified, was also killed, Eight negroes were injured, one probably fatally. President Spencer's coach vas entirelj burned. VIVID STORY OF WRECK President Samuel Spencer of the Southern Railway system, who was on route to the South on a hunting trip was killed this morning in a rear end collision at Lawyer, ten miles south of Lynchburg, The private car in which he was riding was struck and split open by the colliding locomotive. It immediately caught fire and the body of Presi-' dent Spencer was burned almost beyond recognition. In the car with bim were Philip Schuyler of New York; Spencer's Private Secretary. Murnll and Private Dispatcher D, W. Davis of Alexandria. Operator Davis was crushed and died in 15 minutes. Schuyler was instantly killed, but his body was not badly burned before it vas rescued by passangers. Engineer C. Terry who was on the rear train was killed. There is another man among the killed whose name cannot be learned. Private Secretary Murnll was wounded, bnt the nature of his injuries have not been learned. Twelve or fifteen passengers, most of them negroes, were wounded, only one of whom is thought fatally. Eight negroe3 are in the ciiy hospital here. The collision was between the Jacksonville express and the Washington and Southwestern vestibuled limited. The Jacksonville train stopped on the top of a very heavy grade a mile north of Lawyers depot to repair a slight break-down and it is said before the flagman could get back to protect his train, the Atlanta train dashed into it. BODY UNDER ENGINE. The heavy engine cf the train plowed into the private car of President Spencer, in which he and his guests were supposed to be sleeping, Immeciately the private car caught fire. Wreck age was piled around the engine as through placed there by hu man hands to consume it. Every portion of the wood work on the engine was burped and the mon ster machine stands there torn and twisted and will have to be turned down the embankment as it is useless. It was under the locomotive that the burned body of Presi dent opencer was lound, It is evident that Mr. Spencer was killed instantly and did not suffer the torture of being burned. DANGER FROM THE PLAGUE. There's ijrrave danger from the plague of Coughs and c )lda that are bo preva lent, unless you take Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Mrs. Go, Walls, of Forest City, Mp., writes: ''It's a godsend to people living in - climates whs-re coughs and colds prevail. I fiad it qjimdy ends them. It prevents Pneumonia, cures La Gripnc, gives wonderful relief in Asthma and Hay fever, and makes weak lungs strong enough to ward off Consumption, Coughs and Colds. 50c aud $1.0Q Guaranteed by T. R.

Phonograph which can be heard a mile away is the new French Invention, the elgephone, The sound is produced bv the use of what are called speakinar flirces, and the principles gov erning the method were first explained in 1903 by G. C, Porter before the London Physi cal Society, Mr. Porter found that if a turning fork b3 struck and then held in the flame of a bunson burner the sound is perceptibly increased. The maximum of sound intensity occurs when the fork is held where the flame is hottest, The French inventor, G. Lan- bet, uses a record which has the sound vibration marked not in depth, but in length, and the stylus stavels horizontally, like a pendulum. The stylus separates the gas chamber into two part? and tne gas then passes on to v, kut-nora. The vibrations of VL4G ' the disk open and close the gas nlnrro ranaincr the flOW to vary. The sound is so intense that it can be heard a mile away. 3t ran be lessened by regulating 4Ua unvnar Vnt the power of kll3 UUluui -r-- sound is found to be always proportional to the energy Riven out during combuston. VINOL SETTLES. The Cod Liver Oil Question. No one will dispute the curative and strength creating value of cod liver oil. For centuries it has been recognized as the grandest of all healing and bodybuilding agents for wasted human strength and vitality. Yet, owing to the heavy, trreasy oil which envelopes the medicinal elements, and which uis uu vaiue eimer as a iooa or K 1 . i medicine, many patients weak ened by disease cannot digest it either in its raw form or an emulsion, and others will, not take it on account of its disagree able odor and taste consequent ly its value is lost. Now, the process discovered' by two eminent French chemists Morgues and Gau tier should interest every person in Newton, for all of the tonic, bodybuilding and curative elements of cod liver oil are now separated from the greasy, useless oil, and given jo the people in delicious Vinol. For this reason it is fast super seding old-fashioned cod liver oil and emulsions. As a body builder and strength creator for old people, weak women, delicate children, and after sickness and all pulmonary diseases, it is recommended by over 5.000 of the leading drug gists of the United States as the best.

Look for the Vinol agency in your town. Dr Dixon's Objection. Very many North Carolinians have of late months been mnch interested in the movement which has for its object the erection of a reformatory ior youthful criminals. We have regarded this proposal as second only in im provision for the insane of the State, a step to which we should long ago have been led by the most elementary dictates of humanity. Those who have taken an active interest in the matters of supreme importance to the State will learn with ie gret that in this work they must encounter the opposition of the state auditor, Major B. F. Dixon, It is likewise safe to say that this feeling of disappointment will not be unmixed with sur prise, when the grounds of the opposition of this official are understood, Dr, Dixon takes the position that if such a re formatory is established, justice and the Constitution will require that such provision be made for the youthful colored criminals 5 and that some negro parents would lead their children into crime in order to get them into the reformatory, Negro par ents, Ihe thinks, will thus endeay qr to escape the responsibility and expense of bringing up their chile ren. This assumption, we take it, is rather gratuitous, and certainly far-fetcned. We have never noted in the negro a greater fondness for ink and kindred institutions than is evidenced by the white man. This sounds like Dr. Dixon, the politician, rather than Dr. Dixon, the former Methodist minister, and once superintendent oC the Oxford Orphan asylum. If it is going to be possible to throw off this Dlain duty to society in this offhand, complaisant manner, then public responsibilities will sit very lierbt upon us in tne future Gazatte-News, Baby had a little pain, Father said, "That kid again!"

What a different world this would bs if we were all as smart as we think we are. After making a strenuous effort to get out of a rut, a man finds himself in a hole, .Says a women: "I care not who does the thinking so long as 1 1 am permitted to do the talking," A near-sighted man has a good t excuse for not recogrizing hist creditors when he happens to meet them.
