STATION A DYNAMITE MINE
Buried a Rejected Carload OF the Ex-
plosive-Place Now Stunned
Like a Plague Spot


Austin. Tex.-A care Of dynamite
arrived at the railroad station OF San
Gabriel. state Of Durango, Mexico. a
few days ago. 1t was found to be In
damaged condition, and the mining
concern to which II had been shipped
refused to receive IT, The Interna-
uonal railroad ordered its agent at
San Gabriel to get rid OF the explo-
sives, and the agent was puzzled over
what to do with the shipment. He
nnally solved the problem, as he
thought. by carefully burying IL In
a deep hole near the station
1t did not take the Mexican inhabi-
tants of the town long to discover
that the hole contained enough explo-
sives to blow the whole place into
atoms. and now they shun the spot.
All business at the station Is suspend
ed. Shippers refuse to deliver or go
after freight The situation Is so
acute that the station agent has ap-
pealed to the railroad officials for
further instructions as to the DISPOSE
ton he shall make OF the dynamite.
He can get no one who Is willing to
run the risk that would be incurred
in digging II out OF the ground. and
to explode the IL or Is tons OF the
stuff Is out OF the question.
The citizens of the town have made
formal protest to the governor OF
the state OF the danger in which their
property and lives are placed by the
proximity of the explosive.

THE SAME HIGH PLANE"

Messrs Kent and Dickinson, candi-
dates respectively for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, and Senator from the Third
District, were campaigning on the
Clinch Valley last week. In all their
speeches the same methods and tactics
were employed as adopted by Judge
Lewis and other speakers OF the Re-
publican party in the beginning, and
pursued all along.
Their addresses, almost exclusively,
were made up OF abuse of Democrats.
The old time-worn cry OF fraud and
corruption" was the burden Of their
wailing.
Most certainly true 1t Is. the Dem
ocrats will lose no votes on account OF
speeches OF this character. The people
are tired and disgusted with this same
old worn out cry, coming from such a
source.

Some had come TO attend to business,
some to trade, some TO swap horses,
but the great majority came to hear
the political speaking.
The people were anxious for a joint
discussion, which was arranged as fol-

r. W. Dickinson opened for the
Republicans in a speech Of one hour.
followed by G. H. Patterson for the
Democrats. S. Brown Allen replied 10
Mr.. Patterson in an hours speech,
which was devoted almost entirely to
abuse OF the Democrats OF the State,
taking occasion to say that the brains

was followed by Judge Samuel w.
Williams in speech of one hour and
a half Judge Williams made a great
speech and successfully defended the
Democratic administration Of affairs In
Virginia for the last twenty years. He
fully sustained his reputation as one
OF the greatest forensic debaters In Il e
old Commonwealth. He utterly de-
molished every argument made by
Dickinson and Allen.
Old men say that no men have ever
received such a drubbing as Allen and
Dickinson received at the hands OF
