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

j A Fort Mill special of Monday
to tl.e Chni 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
