A *reck on the main line of the Southern Railway occtirret 1 M 011dny morning at 10,30 o'clock one mile south of Catawba station. The wrecked train, of which thirteen cars were derailed, several being totally demolished, was a northbound freight and wns running at a high rate of speed when it. ncoident occurred. The truck was torn up for several hundred feet and the regular trains were held at this place and Hock Hill itil 11.30 at night when the wreck wan cleared away and the tracks were again opened. The exact cause of the wreck has not been ascertained but it is thought it resulted from the spreading of | tin rails. With the exception of a colored laborer, who had his leg broken while removing the wrecko. t?, there was no personal injury. MALE?A good, fresh Milch ?tr. J. L.

Me Chronicle says i that the a^ettcy of the Southern j Railway Ht this place io an endless j source of trouble to that seetnint:, ly stubborn company. There have ' t)een some say live or six and some i I name as many as ei^ht different ; agents here within the past three | or four weeks. In faet, there have huun e - ?.n? iiinnjr MJiflllS HIHl OptM'fltgra and assistants it lias been ( bard to uistingui.-h between them, j No account lias been taken of i those who have been sent here and : sb pped from one train to the next ; after taking in the situation and i theie arc rumors of others who j 'passed by after measuring the size of the town with the salary I attached to the office. There are now three men in the ollice, but whether they will he able to control the work leuiaius to bo seen. With a large brick manufacturing plant here and two large cotton mills shipping out the finished product the wo"k is considerably larger than it would appear to be, , but the business men here believe two good men could do the work, but these kind do not seen, to be available. ? - ?? State Confederate Roar.lon. The matter of holding the Slate Confederate reunion is-till in the air. It is generally believed that the time for this event will be ! changed in order that the soldiers : will come togethor in the fall, but 1 as yet there has been no < tlicial i unnouuctnent as to this. A num1 her of cities are after it, but it is I generally believed that Columbia I will stand the h-st chance if the reunion is held in the Fall and sufficient notice is given the veti erans. t-Sen. T \V. Carlisle Tuesday telegraphed that he had not vet named the time niifl f.... - *"?" v "" | tlie ovont and tor this reason in: lion will probably be taken at llie i next meeting of the board of directors of tlie chamber of coin, inerce looking to a postpotnnent of the event until the fall and then 1 secure it. With the conference of | education in the South to be held in Columbia the latter part of this month it was thought best to take I this action and in this way the veterans visiting Columbia will receive a royal welcome. Safe 3Iowcrs Captured. Two of the safe blowers, who some nights ago entered the bank I at Heath Springs and robbed the | safe of about *2.000. were rapt ureel late Saturday alton.0011 in a elunij) of woods near Wadvsb-no. N. t'. There were throe of lie- robbers in the party, but one made bis escape during the melee incident to the ! capture. One of the two ca ptnrcd robbers was so badly shot that for a time his recovery was extremely doubtful. The men were lodged I in jail at Wadesboro. When searched the burglars bail 01 their persons a considt-inhle amount of money and numerous cliec! s of tin* Heath Spring bank, establishing their identity beyond a doubt. They were also supplied . with nitro-glycerine, dark lanterns and other articles of a burglar's I outfit. ? Fishing or. Catav/ba River. The following from the Char; lotto Ehronicle may sound iu.-t a | bit ''fishy" to some, hut these Cu j tawba river fish do beat the whale ! to bile when one uses the ri^ht , 1 kind of bait: "Mr. SamuelS. McNinoh means to be like Cincinnat lis at the plow; : when they elect him, the commit tee io inform him will find him fishing for red horse on the banks of Catawbn. lie is (retting his hand in now. Karly this morning on the 6 o'clock train, he went down to his brick plant below I Fort Mill, S, with his rod. reel and bait. At 8:.'U) ocloek, while i Charlotte folks were eating breakfast, he 'phoned Chief l b win tliat i he had already caught -in an hour's time <?0 pounds of suckers, . 1 eat-tish and rod horse, r.od asked him to tiring certain irentlemen j down to share the sport." ? There has been a constant evolution in agricultural implements. ', In the happy times of several de- i cades ago, before over-production! of cotton was ever thought of, ! farmers used wooden foot plows j that were made bv their own h?md? from trees that grew upon the premises. These gradually gave j way to the iron foot stock, ami the f latter is being supplanted by an all iron stock. In the days of the wooden stocks, guano was diatrib- I uted from a gourd that was tapped with a stick to cause a constant stream. The gourd gave way to the long tin bom, winch is being superceded by distributors that are drawn by horses. Cotton seed were formerly drilled by hand from a basket. Now planters draw n by horse power, of which there are many kinds ajv used \ I ? Now is the Time to Pre-,' !
