The arrival nf a nom ?"?? t)

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. The largest SP
engine made weighs about 300

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

shell was soft when the egg was
laid and that it hardened in the

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.

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.
