Boiled to Death ia Vat.

Ike Harerave, we'll known negro
of this place. died Saturday night
at eight O'Clock from burns received
when he fell into vat of hot liquid
at the Lee Veneer Co.'S plant on the
southern edge of town Saturday
morning. Giles Holt, young ne
gro. is now practically at the point
of death from the effect of injuries
he received when he was pulled in
by Hargrave.
1t appears from all reports that
Hargrave was attempting to hook a
log from the big vat, when the hook
pulled out and be slipped and fell
the force of his body striking the sill
erected for protection and breaking
it in two. His body with the excep-
ton of his head was submerged be-
meath the surfacing of the water,
which was just a little below the
boiling point at the time. When he
started to fall, Hargrave tried to
catch himself by grabbing hold of
Giles Holt, q young negro who was as
sisting him. Holt was pulled into the
vat and desperately burned from the
waist downward.

neighbor TO desist from fioeging her
fowls and pretty soon afterwards
the report of pistol was heard and
the man made a quick get away.
Mrs. Turner said she only shot to
frighten but the court held that such
a practice was not lawful and car

STRIKE WOULD INFLICT
A STAGGERING LOSS
Would Cut Farmers Prices. Stop In
dustry And Face Cities With
Starvation


New York.-On one point related to
the demands of the unfoRs of train
service employees for heavy increase
in wages the sentiment of the general
public has been expressed in no I'm
certain terms. That is on the ques
ton of strike. ..-.,s. ,r
Declarations have come from every
quarter that an interruption of trans
portation will not be tolerated by the
public, but will call forth drastic &C
ton. The enormous injury to the
country that would result from ma
tion-wide strike of train service EN-
ployes is discussed by writer in
the March National Magazine, from
which the following extract is taken:
What such strike would mean to
the American people cannot be set
forth in mere facts and figures. 1t
can be dimly imagined by those who
realize what an intimate and vital
part railway transportation plays III
every industrial activity of the coun-
try.
There is scarcely a person in any
part of the land who would not be
immediately affected if the millions
nearly three hundred thousand miles
Of railway were to stop for single
day. If the tie-up continued for a
week, the blow to the industry or
the country would be greater than
that caused by any panic OF recent
history To the big cities of the coun-
try, and particularly to the cities Of
a cutting off Of the food supplies that
would place the inhabitants virtually
in a state of siege. In the case OF
many food products these cities do
not carry on hand stock SUFFICIENT
to feed their people for more than e
as milk and fresh vegetables, supplies
are replenished daily. The .stoppage
of transportation, therefore, would
mean suffering and want to these city
dwellers, and if continued for long
would threaten many of them with
actual starvation.
To the farmers of the country a
general railroad strike would be
catastrophe, only less serious. Cut
off from his market, the farmer could
not move his produce, and the price
of grain and other staples would be
quickly cut in two, WHICH the market
value Of more be grea
industrial plants of the country would
soon be forced to close down follow
ing the declaration of a strike be-
cause they could not obtain supplies
needed for their operation, nor could
they ship their finished products to
market Their plants would soon be
Idle, and millions of men would be
thrown out of work. With the in.
come of practically every class of
citizens either seriously cut down or
suspended entirely, merchants would
transact little business, because there
would be few purchasers. In short,
the industrial activities of the whole
country would be virtually palsied
from the moment the railroads ceas-
ed to operate.

FOLLY IN DEMAND FOR SHORT TRAINS MADE BY UNIONS
Might Just Well Ask Country To Return TO Sailing Boats And Carts

Washington, D. C.-To the public
that pays every dollar of the railroad
bill (and forty-fve cents of every dol
lar paid for transportation is for
wages) the leaders of the four
brotherhoods of railway employees,
who are demanding increased pay,
say: "All the railroads have to do
to meet our demands for higher
wages is to shorten their trains, move
freight more rapidly, and escape the
penalty Of overtime wages
The fallacy of this statement, which
is the last-ditch argument used in
support of the demand for increased
wages, is well shown in the following
editorial which appeared in the
Washington, D. c. Times Of April 10.
under the heading "a Mad Freight
Train Idea:"
Everybody in the ranks of the
general public will agree with the
railway managers that the campaign
which the railway workers are Wag.

The use of the huge new locomo-
tives and the long and heavy trains,
against which the Brotherhoods of
freight trairmen, who are asking an
enormous increase in wages, protest
so vigorously, seems to have resulted
in a rapid decrease in accidents to
railroad employees, and decided in
crease in their safety. The number
of railway employees killed in SER
vice diminished from 62O in 1911 to
452 in 1914, and the number of in
jured from 66O1 to 1923.

The railroads cannot purchase bet
torment materials in huge quantities
and also devote the same money to
the payrolls. If they yield to the de-
mands of the men they must abstain
from spending what they are plan
ming to spend for purchases: the
result will be that the steel mills will
drift back into slackness and the
business boom just getting we'll un-
der way will flatten out, to the bitter
cost of everybody in the countrywide

TOxlCATlON IS
SELF POISONING
Few Realize Causes of
This Form of Ailment

Few realize what a great num-
Der of people. among those who
live in such cities as this, suffer
from administration. This con-
dition, which has caused so much
caused so much discussion, is
nothing more nor less than a slow
self-poisoning of vital organs.
It is the very foundation og many
ailments.
When the organs become weak
ened from any cause they are I'M
able to throw off the accumula-
tons of waste matters. The
putrefactive germs soon begin to
get in their deadly work and the
sufferer finally is a direct victim
of poisons generated right in his
own system.
Among the common results of
this auto-intoxication are jaun-
dice, hard cold, constipation, in
digestion and fermenting of food
biliousness, sick headaches, back
aches, diarrhea, dizziness, pains
in the kidney region and nervous
ness.
Tanlac is designated especially
to combat this condition of con-
gestion brought about by auto-in-
toxication. Its properties as a
tonic and invigorant tend to
throw off the poisons and to spur
the organs back toneeded effects
in short, to clean them and make
them normal again.
To an automobilist it might be
said thatSTanlac acts as a spark
plug in the human mechanism.
1t starts the vital engines and
then keeps them going at a pro-
perly regulated speed.
Tanlac is now obtainable in
Barbourville, at the Herndon
Drug Co.'S drug store, where it is
being daily explained during the
constantly increasing demand.

Road Engineers
Hold Meeting

Lexington. Ky, Feb. II, 1916
special to the Advocate.
The state road engineer of the
State are in session here. The
meeting is the most interesting
ever held. there is lots being
done and said for the betterment
of good roads throughout the
State. County Judge Hammons,
Chief Engineer Mcclure. County
Road Engineer, Thomas Hubbard
V. d. Jackson and g. B. Dether-
age of Knox county are in at
tendance.
These Knox county officials
are over enthusiastic over the
road building in their county,
they are regularly in attendance
and many Of them have been
heard from on the floor of the
meeting. Mr.. Mcclure delivered
a very interesting address on
the subject of road building in
the mountains, telling the audi
ence of the hardships in building
roads through the mountains.
Thomas Hubbard was appoint
ed on one of the most important
committees. And in fact all the
representatives from old Knox
county are being recognized, and
are showing to the people that
have hammered them through
the press, and by those who
want to rule or ruin, they are not
yet cut threats and red handed
murderers and bandits.
We hope that while they are
here that they and the State
road commissioners will come to
some agreement about Knox
connty's roads. The pixies will
be completed, possibly by Fall of
1916.
County Judge Hammons, V.
D. Jackson and G. B. Detherage
justices of the peace, are here to
learn all they can about the con.
struction of roads so that they
can better take care of the peO-
pies money and interest.

craft can be completed, and re-
port to the House.
The President has said in his
recent speeches that the country
faces a crisis" said Mr.. Kelley,
and none could tell what day
might bring forth, If this Ian
guage means anything, it means
that our need of defense is a
present need. Dreadnaughts
and battle cruisers authorized by
this Congress will not be avail
able TO- the defense of the coun-
try for four years to come.
Hence it seems to me that
the first duty of Congress i 8 to
see that the sixty-seven ships
now under construction or au.
thorized for the American navy
are completed and made avail.
able at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Preparations which do
not materialize for five years
would not avail US anything If
our danger is a present one.
Il cannot understand how the
President, knowing the danger
as he only can know it, has made
no suggestion to Congress that
the ships now under construc.
ton ought to be rushed to COM
pletion.
Either we are not in danger
or the President has been negli-
gent in this regard"
