I??vtcs Wnrflflil. New York, June 7 ? Announcement wuh made her? last night of the purchase by 8. Davie# WarfieWJ, president of the Continental Trust Co., of Balttlmore, of a large block of stock In the Seaboard Air Line railway whereby control of the i. way will phhh to Mr. Warfleld and a Kroup of financial Interests shho elated with hl!?. The transfer, It 11m slatted, nuikeH the practical re tirement of Thomap K. Ryan front the Seaboard. The Kale announced includes 90, 000 shares of the preferred and 120,000 shares of common stock o! the Seaboard Air Line and wan made by the Cumberland corporation. Dur ing the last year Mr. Warfleld has acquired large holding of Seaboard stock which, with the latent pur chase, passes control to the Kroup with which he Is associated. In all-, practically $37,000,000 of com-r' mon and $24,000,000 of the preferr ed stock are outstanding According to the announcement, leading financial interests in the States traversed by the Seaboard system are closely identified with Mr. Warfleld. Among his New York associates are P. A. Vanderlip, Al bert H. Wlggin, Blair' & Co., Benja min Strong, Jr., Charles H. Sabln, Samuel L. Fuller and Robert Walk er,. former chairman of the board of the Rock Island Company. It lu understood that the block of the stock taken over will be trus teed for five years, Mr. Warfleld acting as chairman of the managers. Announcement of the sale was made by John B. Dennis, of Blair & Co., who are fiscal agents for the Cumberland corporation. This com-, pany owns the Carolina, Cllnchfield and Ohio railway and the CUnchfleUl coal fields In Southwest Virginia. In a statement regarding the pur chase, Mr. Warfleld explained the purchase of the new owners. He said : "The Seaboard Air Line railway is distinctly a Southern property and the South 's position in Seaboard affairs will now be emphasized. Its) Independence as a . Southern line should be preserved. The road should be operated as such and from and In the South. The board of directors should Include represen tative business and financial men from Southern States th/ough which it operates and aR tlu6 representa tives of Southern lrjj^rests. The financial connections of the rail road are enlarged, insuring the pro curlrfg of money for its development on the best tefms with resultant benefits to both the territory it serves and to Its security holders." Beginning October 1, It was an nounced, the meetings of the direct ors will be held in Baltimore in stead of New York. Regarding pos sible changes in management, it vtfaB stated that the improvement of the' railroad rather than the person nel of its operating staff has only been considered so far. S. Davies Warfleld's connection .jyith the Seaboard Air Line dates back to Its Inception as he was a member of the organizing committee As chairman of the receivers of the road, he took an important part in the rehabilitation of the Seaboard and upon the reorganization he be came chairman of the executive coir mittee. ? V v J*ave Mail Hoxes lioady. The following letter addressed to the postmaster at Camden and signed by the first assistant post master general has been received and posted at the postoffice: "With reference to your letter of the 7th . Inst., in which you state that about 350 receptacles have been erected for the recelptt of mail when city delivery begins 'on the 20th. Inst., you are informed tha unless at least 85 per cent of the prospective patrons of the service erect receptacles by the date named the city delivery service will not be started and you should promptly no tify this office to that effect. In or der that orders may be issued post poning the institution of the service to some later date. If 85 per cent of th^ patrons erect receptacles and the service is started delivery will not be made to any patron who does not provide a box or a slot at the door for the receipt of the mall." We were told by a postoffice em ployee who has been selling mail boxes that he thought enoughv had been sold to come up to the require ments of the postoffice department but that everyone should have them so as to be on the safe side, in case they send an inspector herp. He says that very few are having boxes built or slots cut in their doors, and' if anyone cares for a box they can get same by calling at, the post office. Frost In June. To say that there has begn frost in South Carolina in June seems to be almost Incredible, especially so since the thermometer has climbed up iato the nineties, but such is a fact.

TIIIO HAHOI.INK KNU1NK t * | < - On The Fur iu. ? t'leiiisoit Work ? 4rUclt< LXXY1. Recent years have witnessed a very marked Increase in the use of mechanical power for the perform ance of many classes of farm work that our fathers accomplished hy hand, Of pie vurlous power-producing machine* in use on the farm, pro bably the most used and the most adaptable to all sorts or condition* i? the single cylinder gasoline en gine of the four-stroke cycle type. This machine Is made In two forms, vertical and horizontal, and with cither air or water-cooled cylinder. While machines of different ma kers vary as to detail they all have the same essential parts; namely, cylinder with fillet and exhaust valves, piston, connecting rod, crank shaft, crank-shaft bearing** with sup ports, fly wheels, exhaust valve op ener, governor, Ignition .apparatus, carburetor, cooling apparatus, and oiling system. These engines may be purchased In slzeto from one-half horse power upward. Unlike the steam engine, wUth those pulling powers we are famil iar, the gasoline engine will not car ry much overload; hence It Is advis able to buy a machine large 'enough to do the maximum work required of it without overloading. If the engine is to be used for pumping only, small special pumping machine that give excellent service may be bought at a reasonable price. If the farmer owns but one engine, it is probably advisable In all cases to procure a larger machine than the small sizes, a machine that will drive the wood saw, the corn shell er, the feed grinder, and so on. These machines give a relatively high efficiency at light loads, t and It Is, therefore, not objectlonal to run them light. w The farmer, for a small outlay of money, can provide a room in wMilch he can set, his engine and bucIi ma-: chines as he desires to run with tt, and his wood saw may occupy an open shed at the side of the room#, A rod of cold-rolled steel, mounted In hangers attached to the overhead woodwork, makes an excellent line shaft at low cost. This shifft should run lengthwise the full length of the room to provide for as many machines as the room will hold. The feed grinder, corn sheller, etc., may be put together in a part of the room separated from the bal ance of the room by ? a partition, and beyond this partition may be installed the washing machine, the cream separator, the churn, the electric plant, etc. These machines are driven by the line shaft by the means of belts. In the limited sapce alotted to this article it is not possible to en ter into a detailed discussion of the many uses to which a gasoline engine may be put on the farm, but the writer wishes to Impress on the farmer the fact that It is well worth the farmers' time and effort to ac quaint himself with the possibilities of the gasolne engine with refer ence to his own particular case. Manufacturers and dealers are ready to supply full and free Infor mation on request. A great many people are under the Impression that the gasoline en gine is a very unreliable and dan gerous thing. This erroneous im pression is due to the fact that the machine Is not understood by these people. As a matter of fact the gasoline engine is one of the sim plest of prime movers, and if kept in good order and in proper adjust ment, it Is a most dependable source of power. When the farmer forms the habit of rubbing down his en gine frequently and looking It over for loose nuts and slipped adjust- 1 ments, at the same time looking carefully to the quality of lubricat ing oil he usee, he will find that he possesses a safe, economical and very satisfactory power.

The question whether or not the city will issue $100,000 in bonds for the installation of a water and light plant was voted upon on Tuesday and was carried by 114 to .46 votes. The CommlBslonern were elected at the same time who will take charge of tills bond Issue. They are W. Bratton deLoach, Henry Savage and Dr. W. J. Dunn.

Nearly all progressive cities own their water and light plants. The three commissioners elected to take charge of the bond issue are good business men and have the in terest of the city at heart, and the Confidence of the community. The Commissioners will be sworn ih by the City Council. . It is op tional with them, whether or not they will erect a new plant or pur chase the property of the Camden Water & Light plant, which was re fused a franchise by the city some time ago. The city has an option on the water shed near "Millbank," v^here a water supply can be ob tained to supply the city. It is said the present supply Is very limited, especially in dry weather. The installation of a municipal plant will give the city free lights and water," as well as water for fountains, etc., which had to be cut off due to the high prices charged. Then too, it U hoped that the wa ter a-nd lights can be furnished to consumers at a lower rate. . Scholarship* to bo CJIveii Away.
