U1 freight engine called the "300," L last week was the topic of conversation among railroad men as well as those not versed in engine construction, says The Hamlet Messenger. The cylin- b" ders are 30 by 27 inches, the in tank holds 9,000 gallons and the hi coal box seventeen tons. Its weight with coal and water is c r v. about 240 tons. The passenger engines will weigh more, we are told. It is said these engines b< will not run beyond Columbia, Li S. C., and Monroe, N, C. These ja engines are made to pull eighteen hundred tons and are the w largest ever used here. There is tv .in_ J .i nn"".. - *" an engine caned ine 'W ttint lu hauls fifteen hundred tons and is looked upon as mighty engine of dr size and power.

Yesterday the elections were held in the various states of the Union, but The Journal goes to press to early to give the returns. But so much importance is not attached to this election in South Carolina, for the primary has already told the tale. A freak egg was broughi in last week by Mr. Reuben Jen kins. It has a flattened side and is crimped in such a manner that some of the imaginative ones can see a sunflower in its shape. Mr. Jenkins said there are many sunflowers about his home, and this confirmed the opinion that a flat side of the egg resembles a sunflower. A more r\r/\Kn l-vl /-* * -1 * ^muauic cxpiaiiauon is mai tne shell was soft when the egg was laid and that it hardened in the present shape. Mr. John Richardson, Jr., nar rowly escaped serious injury Saturday morning while loading a car of lumber at Guess. He was stacking lumber on one side of the car when a stack three feet wide andjas high as the car fell right over on him and crush sd him to the floor, completely covering him. Fortunately sov* ihev worked like furv to get the lumber off of the young man, who came out as if by a miracle with no serious results. His back and legs were brusied and strained and he was unable to work for a few days, but no bones were brnken. Personals Mrs. M. L.

Advances a Cent Within One '] ' Week New York,Oct,31.?The cotton market is strong and the So- ! uth is holding its product and demanding higher prices. Quotations of a week ago of a little j over 6 cents per pound were followed by daily advances with a full demand and today a 7 cents basis of middling was being gencnerally quoted \\ ith activity and large transactions. A tiv vi wiv o twui.t iuivc included better facilities for ship ments of cotton to foreign markets, including more available ship room and the establishing of credits for the purchase of cotton, also the agreement by the nations at war making cotton non-contrabrand,making it pos sible to supply Germany and Austria as well as other coutries. Blessing In Disguise Monroe Enquirer. When the South raises all the food stuff it needs and sends no money away from home for things which man and beast eats and then grows millions of bales of cotton as a surplus crop, then this country will indeed be a great one. And that day is coming "just as sure as gun's iron. This low price of cotton is hitting the South hard just now, but it is driving more people to grow things to eat at home than all the preaching until the crack of doom would do. When a man once raises his supplies at home he never goes back to the old way of growing cotton with which to buy home.sunplies. A man who once grows fifty bush-"" els of corn an acre never goes back to the ten and fifteen bushels an acre way. Yes, this slump in the price of cotton is right now causing thousands upon thousands of acres of wheat and oats to be sown in the South that would not be sown and next spring multiplied thousands of f acres will be planted in corn that ] would be put in cotton if cotton haul btovwdV. -a. gcrr/d I season. And then, too, this low j price of cotton will put many a, 1 ham, shoulder and side of meat ! in the smokehouses of the South that would not be there were it otherwise. No, this is not going to ruin the South?it will even tually be a great blessing to it.
