THE SOUTHERN HOODOO.

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.

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.’’

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.
Rev. W. E. Crocker, of China,
preached a very fine sermon at IF a.
m. to a good audience.
There were two additions by let
ter.
, At night Mr. Croclr-er spoke of the
work on the foreign field as he saw
it and gave much helpful information
to a congregation that filled the house
to overflowing.
Mr. Crocker is a very interesting
talker and speaks not of theory hut
of what he knows after years of ser
vice upon the field. He will conduct
the prayer service Wednesday night.
