One day last week a threshing ma
chine belonging to Thomas R. Copen-
haver, of Smyth county, was blown up
by dynamite at Seven Mile Ford. The
machine was torn to pieces and man
by the name of Farris was killed. The
machine was a new one and had just
been put in place ready for work. The
dynamite had been placed in the eleva
tor and when the machine was started
it was carried up to the cylinder which
caused the explosion. Mr.. Farris, who
was standing at the mouth of the ma
chine waiting for the speed to get up so
he could begin to feed, was blown about
thirty feet and spike was driven into
his breast near the heart. Mr.. Farris
was about forty-three years of age and
