Carolina Coca-Cola Company Camden, South Carolina , 7 " r "" ' ' : , . quit* no heavy us tht>?e in u&v ou Amer ican railroad*, but th?y are laid with a far better idea to the practical The rail* do ttot' touch the croMtim Broad iron damps are Ixdted iuto the tie* and through these tth<> ba?e flange* of the rails are .passed, wooden blocks being wedged ti? the sidos to five rexlleucy. No spikes are used. By thl* method tl?v rail* ??> prevented from working ifkto the tie* and producing uneven level*, and the wheels pass over a pcrmaueutl.v smooth uiul solidly lutM'd rail ned, This smooth rail surface, with the eliuiiuatiou of crossing*, enables the ftngll*h railroad engineers to maintain u steady rate of speed, tti? "-purts" so common on Aiupf? iva.o lilies being unknown. The superior ity of speed which the English. railroad* art- a bleto maintain over tin* railroads of the I uiU'd States is easily located in the superiority of roadbed. In equip* tUent of engine* and rolling stork the American lines are vastly ill the load. We heli&ve that with trackage condition# similar to those of the English railroads, ilit' Southern Hallway would ha euabled tii ?maintain a schedule of eight bourn bo tween t.'harVdte and Washington. The ordinary English railroad coioji is a series t?f Imxed oflf compartment*. If we would take half a down of the hotel' omnibuses of the type common in Amcr ieu and fasten them side by side, pine ing a pair of railroad truck* under eaelt eml, we/would have a fair conception of the English railroad CO&Ch, t>nee the journey is started there is no intercourse between the passengers of one compart ment \y i t li another. They must sit fac ing each other, three pairs of knees on . one side projecting against three pairs of knees on the other, and it is only when I a Atop is made at stations that a shift is possible. There is no water on the ears and none of the modern comforts. Hut o4? through traiui Lhe cumpurt^cuts are arranged to the better convenience of the travelers. Narrow side aisles pro Aide communication from one car to the Other, but the boxed-in system of six passengers to the compartment still pre vails. The dining ear, service oil the through trains is equal, if not superior to tiiat of the American railroads, t'er t ni uly he <1 1 1 sco stmUucnoiiishrdtucmfwy tainly the traveler on the English raii roads gctsMnore for his money thnn the traveler in the tinted States. Hut even after the American railroads should move up to the standard of the English railroad iu trackage conditions, there would yet remain one thing of ne cessary accomplishment to enable thoir through trains to make the time estab lished on the English roads, ^aiul that would be tlie .privilege of operating ?' system of through and local trains. Un der the English sohedule there would be but two stops between Charlotte and Danville on the Southern's through ' Washington train, -where there arc now 14 or mom In England a "through'-' J train is not expected to do local ser vice. but mi adequate schedule of local trains is arranged to take care of that part of. the business. And furthermore, in England railroad legislation is <if a constructive rather than a destructive kind. The people stand between the railroads and the politicians. <52? The Sport of Kings. After the war. the King of the Bel gians took to travelling constantly by airplane and became, a keen student of aviation. I'nless he <i>uld not-' avoid it lie never us?sl automobile or train for any trip he had to make. Before his visit to America he journey almost week ly by airplane, from Brussels to Houns low iu England, where his ^on is at school. King Alphonxo has always been an ? ardent autoinotoillst. A short time ago, when he wished fco attend the ^opening of the Spanish parliament, he jumped into his two-seated racer and rode, all night long bo get to Madrid by morn ing. He arrived in time to save the falling of the cabinet after going 000 miles in less than nine hous, over the no ugh mountanous roads to the Castile region.
