Fatal Explosion At Spencer.
Spencer, Oct. 2. By the explo
sion of a powder magazine at the
Southern Railway shops here last
evening at 5:30 two men lost their
lives and a score were seriously in-
j a red, some fatally.
The explosion was caused by the
burning of a caboose standing only
a few feet from the powder honse
and before the burning cab could be
pulled away or the fire extinguish
ed, had caused the magazine to ex
plode with disastrous results. C.
H. Layton, white, and George Gould
colored, who were nearest, were
instantly killed and Fletcher Staf
ford and James Gobbel are thought
to be fatally injured.
The explosion wrecked about
twenty live freight oars, and did a
great deal of damage to the South
ern's new railroad shops. The
blacksmith shop, the round house,
carpenters' shop, aud other build
ings were more or less seriously
damaged and will cause a short
suspension of work and a loss of
perhaps 4500,000.
The fronts of the Wachovia Loan
and Trust Co., aed the Bank of
Spencer were demolished and many
chimneys thrown dowu and win
dows broke'n in the residences of

Senator Foraker to the Bad.
Some disclosures were made re

Monnett, of Ohio revealing the re
lations of Senator Foraker with the
Standard Oil Co., which have plac
ed the Senator in a very bad light
before the country and he has can
celled all campaign engagements
for speeches in behalf of the Re
publican party. Charges of the
same nature were made recently by
W. R. Hearst against Govefuor

mittee investigate the charges and
closes with these words: Should

the verdict le against you. as I
know it will, there need le no
other penalty than the public con
tempt due eery assassin of character.

of the
Haskell And Roosevelt
parison.
Jharlotte Npwh.
Roosevelt wrote Harriman a let
ter, inviting him over to discuss
the railroad phase of his message
to Congress. "We are practical
men, quoin tcuiiy lome rauroau
ing. And "practical'" man" Har
riman proceeded to get up a cam
paign fund of !?-20,000 for "prac
tical man'' Roosevelt.
Haskell is accused of restraining
his attorney general from barring
a Standard Oil subsidiary concern
from laying pipe lines in Oklaho
ma. "Practical man" Roosevelt's
administration had given the Prai
rie State Oil Company authority to
enter Oklahoma. Governor lias
kell did nothing more than restrain
a gentlemen who sought to test rain
a company that was working under
the authority of the federal author
ity of the feile. al government.
Haskell never invited one of
the "practical men" of the Stand
ardOil to discuss his contemplated
action, lie never received pecuni
ary favors from Standard Oil for
"services rendered." He merely
acted in accordance with the wish
es of the administration, and in the
interest of his fellow citizens many
of whom would have been thrown
into bankruptcy with an inade
quate supply of pipe lines to mark
et their oil.
"Practical Man" Roosevelt, who
accepted Harriraan's money to se
cure his election, complains of the
moat in his brother's eyes
Forgetting for the monieut that
Roosevelt is president, and that
Haskell is only a governor of a
sovereign state, in the eyes of com
mon honesty, whose crime is the
greater that of the honored accus
er, or that of the humble accused1
If Haskell has erred, his crime is
small in comparison with that of
his accuser.
When truth gets a hearing, such
men as Roosevelt, who call their
brcthorn liars and slander them for
alleged misdeeds small in compar
ison with their own blatant trans
gressions, will be repudiated by
honest citizens.
A blustering, bkilhorskitish four
tiushcr cannot hold the respect and
trust of plain honest men for long
