Hickory, N.C., Oct. 27—F.T. Adams of Patterson was killed and Lon Campbell of Elias was probably fatally injured here this morning when a charge of dynamite used in road construction on the Blowing Rock highway prematurely exploded. Campbell is at a local hospital. Advices reaching Hickory say a large charge of dynamite was inserted in rocks too soon after a smaller charge of explosive had been set off to enlarge the cavity in the rocks.
