Six Workmen Are Smothered
Under Tons of
Earth.
ACCIDENT NEAR WINSTON, N. c.
The Victims Were Members Of the
Construction Force on the South
Bound Railroad-The Men Were
Building an Abutment of q Trestle
When the Supports Gave Way
All the Bodies Were Rescued In
q Short Time.

Winston-Salem, N. c., Nov. 16.-
A terrible catastrophe occurred here
this morning about ten o'clock when
1000 cubic feet of earth caved in
on the viaduct being erected on the
line OF the new South-bound Rail-
way, two miles south of this city,
killing six and wounding one. The
dead are: Lesse Freasland, of Ire
dell County, and Carnal Bulling, of
Stokes County, N. c.; Carl Dortch-
schmidt, Carl Elmer, Lehman,
and Alfred Lippner, of Germany Os-
car Mise, of Norfolk, Va, slightly in
jured. The men were working on a
building foundation for an abutment
of the trestle and a pile Of earth
thirty feet high, in front, said not to
have been sufficiently braced, caved
in. While others were attempting to
rescue them, there was a second
cave in and the laborers were caught
in the trap.
A force started rescuing the bodies
Immediately and the first was got
ten in thirty minutes and the last
after II o'clock. None are mutilated
and death was caused by suffocation.
The bodies were taken to an un-
dertaking establishment and prepar-
ed for burial and practically every
doctor in town went to aid in the
rescue work.

AN ALIBI FOR CORN.
Memphis Doctor Declares Maize is
Not Responsible for Peilagra.

Memphis Doctor Declares Maize is
Not Responsible for Peilagra.
From the Baltimore American.
"After having made a close study
of the pellagra in all stages of that
dreaded disease, 1 can say positively
that the eating of Indian corn or
maize in no way causes it," said DR..
John H. Gray. of Memphis, Tenn, at
the Stafford.
81 will not go so far as to dispute
the connection between the consump-
ton of corn in some foreign lands,
notably Italy, where pellagra is wide
spread, but so far as the United
States is concerned I would unhesi-
tatingly bring in verdict of not
guilty for one of our most whole
some and nourishing foods. Abroad
it is claimed that pellagra victims
are addicted to eating spoiled and
unripe grain, something unheard of
In this country.
81 know of a charitable institu-
tion in a Southern State that has of
late taken care of about twenty per-
sons who were afflicted with this NAL
ady. A little child, the first of those
so affected, gave the pellagra to sew
eral other inmates, who up to that
time had been entirely free of the
taint, clear proof of the contagious
qualities of this new scourge. The
institution is one that provides the
best quality of food, and there was
not one chance in a million for pei
Iagra to have originated inside its
walls"

PRESIDENT TAFT's PROGRAM.
Measures Advocated on Long Jour-

ney Will Keep Congress Busy.
From the New York World.
In the course of his 13,000-mile
swing around the circle Mr. Taft
made an average of five speech es a
day. Among the many measures he
advocated are the following:
Increased powers for the Interstate
Commerce Commission, so that 1t
shall have authority to regulate the
Issue of railroad securities on a sound
basis,to determine the proper classi-
fication Of freight. to institute of its
own accord complaints Of discrimina-
ton In rates, to compel connecting
carriers to form through routes, and
to fix and apportion rates among car
riers.
The prohibition of railroads from
holding stock in competing roads,
the authority for railroads to make
rate agreements with the approval of
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, and the creation of a new court
to pass on appeals from the decisions
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion in fixing rates.
The compulsory adoption by the
railroads of additional safety de-
vices.
The creation of a central bank Of
issue, controlling the Treasury re-
serve and prepared to guard against
currency stringency.
Postal savings banks.
An amendment to the Sherman
antitrust law making it apply only
to trade monopolies and not to rail-
road combinations.
The adoption of the income-tax
stitution, such tax to be resorted to
only in national emergencies.
Temporary suspension of the agi-
tation for further revision of the
tariff.
Ship subsidies for the development
of the merchant marine.
Federal legislation against the
boycott as well as governing the is
suance of injunctions.
Further conservation of national
resources.
Forest preservation.
Internal waterway Improvements,
but strictly according to the merits
Of each project considered in it's ma
tional bearing.
Legislation imposing restrictions
upon the transfer of water-power
sites to private control and provid-
ing for the fixing of rentals and the
regulation Of rates to be charged.
Reforms in the mineral land laws
so that the surface of the land and
the coal and other mineral deposits
shall be treated separately, with
leases on the royalty system or sales
to miners
A Congressional Commission to in
vestigate the laws delays in the Fed
eral Courts and to devise a system
for securing quick and cheap justice
in the Federal Courts that shall serve
as model for the States.
Here is a program sufficient to
keep Congress busy for the rest of
Mr.. Taft's administration

Only Six Wet Counties Left in South
Carolina.

Columbia, S. c., Nov. 16.-The fif-
teen counties which last August vot-
ed out their dispensaries under the
act of the legislature sadly closed for
keeps at the end of business at sun
down last evening. Several of the
fifteen having disposed of their stock
before the end of the final limit had
already closed but in some of the
counties large stocks remain over,
which will have to be disposed of at
wholesale under the new law.
Orangeburg, which, according to Dis
pensary Auditor. Vests recent check
ing up, has unpaid claims on hand
amounting to $4,000, has been con-
ducting bargain sales for the past
several days in order to get big
stock reduced in time.
The total amount of claims for
supplies outstanding against the if
teen counties amount to about $780,
600, but Mr.. West thinks there will
be money on hand enough in each
county to pay all claims. II there is
not the question of liability will be
an interesting one, as neither the
State nor the county under the law
can go back of dispensary money to
meet such claims.
Only six counties remain wet after
today-Charleston Aiken, Richland,
Georgetown, Florence and Beaufort
What will be done in these counties
by the coming legislature is the burn
ing issue over which much heated
oratory and filibustering is expected
this winter.

Moonshining i'm Mecklenburg.
Charlotte Observer, 18th
LI4-~ fn11s

Charlotte Observer, 16th.1
The blow has fell!
An illicit still, a complet outfit for
the manufacture of moonshine booze,
has been unearthed in Mecklenburg
County.
Think of 1t! Moonshining in Meek
lenburg!
1t is sad to reflect upon the awful
fate of the poor man, James Spratt,
by name, who was caught with the
goods in his possession. Had he been
guilty of arson, burglary, and even
red-handed murder, there would be
some hope. But not now. To make
the matter the more distressing, the
poor fellow has a wife and five child
rem dependent upon him for sup
port. That matters little, however,
in the face of such an objectionable
transgression. II Spratt is a philoso-
pher and aware Of his predicament,
he will give the gladiatorial saluta-
ton 'tte morituri salutant" and await
the end, which Is sure to come.
The still was captured in Paw
Creek township Sunday night about
10 o'clock by Deputy Sheriff e. o.
Johnson, assisted by Chief Of Police

CHURCH AND STATE.
Forceful Address of President at the
Anniversary of Catholic Church
in Washington Sunday.

Anniversary of a Catholic Church
in Washington Sunday.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 15--Pres-
ident Taft (Unitarian) last afternoon
stood on the steps of st. Aloysius
church with Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop Falconio, the papal dele
gate, reviewing the mems Catholic
Societies of Washington, an incident
of the golden jubilee of the parish.
Preceding the review, the Presi-
dent delivered brief address, hav-
ing been introduced by Father
Eugene de L. Mcdonnell, the rector,
who referred to the fact that fifty
years ago President Buchanan had
assisted in the dedication services of
the church.
President Taft in his speech said:
81 am glad to be present on this
occasion, the golden jubilee of the
foundation of this church. In our
country, in this government, and un-
der our constitution, there ifs no
union of church and state, but rather
a declared separation of them. This
has been sometimes misunderstood
by those who did not know our in
stitutions, as an indication that there
was something hostile on the part of
our government toward, or some lack
of sympathy with, the church of God.
This is as far as possible from the
truth; and 1 have always sought, in
assisting every such church on in
teresting occasions like this, to testi-
fly by my presence and by words of
congratulation, that there is nothing
which the people of the country of
the United States so depend upon for
progress and advancement of their
ideals as the influence and power of
all the churches in the community.
They tend to exalt the nation.
Il am here today therefore to con-
gratulate Father Mcdonnell and his
congregation and the distinguished
dignitaries of the Catholic Church on
the growth in this community OF this
church of st. Aloysius, and on the
good that is has done, and to testi-
fly as a representative of the govern
ment to the sympathy we have with
this instrument and all others that
make for Righteousness"
