Persons sitting in the local
freight office of the Southern
railway Friday afternoon when i
a broken rail caused a freight I
car to jump the track and run !
into the trucking platform of the <
office thought a cyclone had hit i
the building when it was almost 1
wrenched from its foundations I
by the impact. About 20 feet of ;
the platform was torn away in i
the accident and an hour or more ;
was lost in rerailing the car. Two '
little boys who were standing
nearby when the car got off the i
rails and ran into the platform
narrowly escaped injury.
a good (leal ot interest was
aroused in the upper part of town
Friday afternoon by the peculiar
actions of a well dressed stranger
who was first observed on the
streets early that morning". The ,
man left the business district
shortly after noon and walked 1
up White street to a point just '
outside the corporate limits,
where he stopped on the roadside <
near the home of a colored man
named Fate James and for an '
hour and a half busied himself j
by walking around in a small i
circle, stopping occasionally to *
look in first one direction and 1
then another. He is said to have [
returned to town late Friday c
afternoon. Who he was, whence
he came, what actuated him to [
act so peculiarly and whither he j
went no one seems to know.

Ring Found in Oyster.
A few weeks ago the Ander-1
son Daily Mail printed an article !
telling of the finding of a lady's
ring by Mr. K. M. Glass, while,
eating oysters at a local restaurant.
The ring was found imbedded
in the oyster, and it was
stated that just how it got there
was a puzzle. The article was
copied by a number of papers,
among them the Boston, Mass.,
Post, and as a result of the clipping
in that paper, Mr. Glass
lias received the following letter
from a Boston woman:
"Dear Sir: Seeing in last Sunday's
Post a notice of your having
found a ring in an oyster, I am
curious to know if it could be the I
me I lost at Higham Harbor I
while in bathing. I am wondering
if it could travel that dis;ance.
"Will you please see if it bears
;he initials 'M. E. S.' on the inside?
It answers your description
in the paper; namely, the
-ed stone and the value.
"Hoping my curiosity will revive
an answer from you, I
im," etc.
In an article in The Daily Mail,
the ring was described as set with
a. red stone, and being worth s
about $3. In this particular. Mr. i
Glass' correspondent says that!
the description is correct.
In talking of the letter recently,
Mr. Glass said that there
have apparently been three engraved
letters on the inside of
the ring, but that only an "M,"
is now plain. However, he is
satisfied that the other letters
are "E. E." though they are now
very indistinct.
The puzzle about the whole;
thing?no matter if the owner of
the ring has been found?has,
however, not been solved. It is:
How did the ring get inside the
oyster? No light is thrown on
this question by the letter from j
Boston. It can be readily seen
how the ring might have been
inside the oyster shell, but inside
the oyster is another thing; and
here is where it was found.
Salting Farm Animals.
Farm animals, like human beings,
require salt. They must
have it for*the good of their systems.
Few farmers realize the
VQ 1 111* nf L?olf F/\w ? - '
IUIUV. \>i C1?IIL JUI IIICU till111 lcll S,
and most of them, if they use
salt at all, give it to the stock at
long intervals. A little salt
should be given the stock every
day, or, better still, place rock I
salt in the mangers of horses
and cattle, so they can satisfy j
their cravings in this direction.
If salt is kept before them constantly,
few of the animals will
eat it in excess, and those which
do can have it doled out to them
by the feeder in proper proportions.
The best way to salt hogs is to
place a box containing an equal
mixture of salt and clean wood
ashes (the more charcoal in the
ashes the better) in one portion
of their house. Once they be- i
come accustomed to the mixture
they will not eat it to excess.
Wood ashes is a great conditioner
for horses, and if they are given
a level tablespoonful in their feed
at weekly intervals their health
will be improved.
State Pension Matters.
Comptroller General Jones, as
chairman of the State pension i
board, has announced that the
county pension boards will this
year meet the first Monday in
February, in place of January, to
pass on applications submitted
by the pension commissioners.
Such commissioners, one for each
county, have already been chosen
under the rules. The pension
law provides that the funds shall
be distributed April 1. It is j
asked that the pension lists be
sent in from the various counties
as soon as possible.

Gold Dust Sweepings.
Speaking about the big factory in
Now York city, that makes 1,000,000
Waterman's Ideal Fountain Pens a year,
as described in the last issue of The
Transcript, and where the floor sweepings
of the room in which they grind
the gold pens are sold for $i,500 a i
month- wouldn't you like to be janitor,
with the privilege of keeping the dust 1
for your pay? And then just think of j
getting $5 in gold every month or so out
of each workman's old pants after they j
are worn out. Why, you couldn't shake
that much coin out of a poor printer's '
jeans, even when they are looking their I
smartest. And as for those gold bricks j
worth $1,000 per. The Transcript scribe,
though he has never been that far from
"hum" before, and is powerful skeered
of the tricks they say the city fellers
plays on green country folks, would be
willin' to journey clean up to the big
city, if he thought, now, they'd conic
the "gold brick" game on his bucolic
innocency with one of the Waterman ;
company's bricks! j
2(1,000,OtX) Ideal Waterman Fountain
gold pens in use. That is 124 miles of
gold pens end on end, or 1,000 miles, j
holders and all. Truly this is an age of i
big things.?The Transcript.
