Cherokee I Drug j Company i i Crimson Clover and Alfalfa Engines and Cars Off the Track Near Rower House. There seems to be a hoodo lying in wait for the Southern railway trains among the sidetracks near the city power house and every now and then it manages to get in its devilish work. Several months ago the shifting en gine from Blacksburg ran off the rails In front of the i>ower house and after some difficulty was pulled on again by one of the "hog” engines that was passing through the city. About three weeks ago one of the bigfcest engines on the Southern road, one of the “700’s," ran off the rails in almost the same spot. Repeated ef forts were made by other engines to pull it on again hut to no avail. Fi nally a derrick was sent for and after long and hard work the mammoth en gine was replaced on the rails again. And now, to cap the climax, Friday night about 10:30 one of the large “hog” engines ran off the rails and buried itself in the mud almost in the same spot at which the other two ran off. Again the derrick had to be sent for, and after about thirty hours of idleness on the part of the “dead” engine the derrick managed to place it on the rails again, but not until the derrick suffered the breaking of one of its main cables. The pilot or “cow catcher” of the engine was complete ly torn off but otherwise the engine seemed to be all right and pulled out under its own steam. And now. on too of all these calamities, comes an other. Yesterday morning while shift ing on the sidetracks a loaded car turned completely over at exactly the same spot at which the engine of Friday was off. The car fell across the tracks of the Limestone Lime Works’ dummy engine, completely blocking traffic on that line. The der rick was again sent for and righted things. As some said, it might he a good Idea to let the derrick remain in Gaffney, where it could he kept busy. It will he remembered that last Jan uary a year ago just opposite the power house an incoming night freight train was wrecked, piling a half dozen cars on the tracks and smashing them into kindling wood, de laying traffic on the main line for several hours. And then a short while afterwards a box car turned over just in front of Mr. H. FX Wheat's resi dence. again necessitating the calling out of the derrick. Several other minor wrecks have occurred along these same tracks in the past two years, and if the Southern doesn’t do something to cause the hoodo to take up its wings, legs or what-not and “skidoo” it will he put to Quite a lot of trouble over its devlish escapades. Quite a large crowd gathered around the scene of the wreck Sat urday and watched with interest the work of the powerful seventy ton der rick in putting on the derailed en gine. It is very fascinating to watch this little diminutive derrick pick up a big 100-ton engine and put it hack in its rightful place. - A y KiC ^ And it’s a record to be proud of!

Dining Out. (Saturday Evening Post.) Philadelphia business man re c ntly had as guest a friend from Toledo, an extremely busy individual, little familiar with the social graces. For the first evening of his stay a dinner party had been arranged. The hostess had provided a most attract ive young woman for the Toledo n an, and it was thought that he would take a desperate fancy to her, which, indeed, he did. When the guests had gathered and were ready to go out. the host, with his politest how. said: “Mr. Blank, will you please take Miss Dash out to dinner?” “Certainly,” responded the Toledo man. with alacrity, “but I understood that we were to have dinner here in the house.’’ Club Meeting.

C ON SUM PTION E A MERRY MORNING WITH THE MAYOR ^ ^liUUiiUUiUiUlUiUiUiUiUR Saturday and Monday are two ex cellent days for research in the singu lar ways of crime and waywardness divulged in the court of the mayor. Saturday a man and woman ap peared. both of color. The charge was disorderly conduct and when the investigation was closed this time worn charge was found very adequate indeed. The neighborhood in which the rueus occurred was alarmed Fri day night by these two pugnacious ones and finally an officer had to he called in to quell the disturbance. The woman was evidently a familiar, fig ure in the mayor’s court, as could be seen by the glances thrown in the di rection of the officers. The mayor was of the opinion that for the wel fare of the town the woman had best seek another place of residence. She was given until one P. M. to make the necessary change. The man will con tribute thirty days of labor to the city in the absence of fifteen simoleons to rattle in the city coffers. Yesterday morning a man was on docket charged with being disorderly at the merry go round and raising a rough house there. On remonstarnce by the authorities he wanted to fight and only the arrival of an officer served to quiet him. His presence was lacking at court and a bond spoke for him. First Baptist Church Notes.
