Katie Belvin Harden, abd a niece of Mr. Walter R. Harden and Mrs. M. R. Rivea. Memorial Services at Providence Last Sunday was all that could be wished for In the way of weather for the annual memorial service at Providence. Aside from the inspiring music In the morning, the addresses of Mr. Chas. H. Ireland of Greensboro and Dr. Daniel Albright Long were the main features. Mr. Ireland made a very excellent address that was timely and full of interest. Dr. Long followed. The occasion seemed to be especially inspiring to him, for It was here more than three-quarters of a century ago that he first became a worshiper. The Doctor is now 85, but age has not bent his form nor dimmed his memory. From a well stored mind and re tentive memory he traced In elo quent words the progress of the Church since the Christian Era. We shall not attempt to follow him through, but suffice it to say that all who heard him were near spell bound by his eloquence and fine word-painting. His voice was strong and thoughts came so swiftly that he scarcely had time to give them utterance. In the afternoon a business meet ing of the association was held, after a most sumptious dinner had been served in picnic style. The followiug officers of the asso ciation were re-elected: Junius H. Harden, president: Mrs. W. H. Holt, secretary, and MeBride Holt, treas urer. The report of the treasurer, showing an interest-bearing fond of about 11,600.00 for the np-keep of the eemetery, was especially grati ? tying. In the large congregation attend ing the exercises wore many from different parts of the connty. Among those present from a distance were Mr. E. D. Broadhurstof Greensboro, Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Holleman ol High Point, Mr. Daniel L. |BelI ol Pittsboro, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Carle ton of Durham, Mr. and Mrs. D. J. Sipe. Miss Nannie Baker Farmer and Mr. Will Pierce of News Ferry, Vs., and Mrs. Geo. M. Harden and Mi* Lizzie Pollen Belrin of Raleigh. ? ? ? PERSONAL * tl I I I I 11 I I 11 I I 11 II111 I I l I* Mr. R. L.

Alamance Grows All Kinds Of Legumes On the farm of J. T. fteid, Alta mahaw, N. C., R. F. D., one can see that Australian Winter Peas can be successfully grown. Many farmers over the South are finding Australian Winter Peas a legume admirably adapted to growing for soli Improvement, and Mr. Reld Is one of the number. Mr. Reld says they hold wonderful promise as an emergency hay crop as well as for soil Improvement. The As sistant County Agent visited this field of peas and reports they are over a foot high with a perfect stand. Farmers of the County should visit this demonstration and see for themselves what the peas are, and get Mr. Reld to tell them how they can be grown. 8everal other farmers in the County are growing Australian Winter Peas. Mr. V. T. Wood, Gra ham, N. C., W. T. Craton, E. C Turner, J. Webb Lindley, Henry i Scott, and maybe others. Mr. Reld has one of the best i farms In the County. It Is worth any man's time to visit him and I to see what he Is doing, f W. H. HERRING. Jr., Asst. County Agent ' The latest 4-H club to be organ > lzed In the State is the Black Wal ' nut Club. Each member Is requlr ed to plant 25 hills or seedling! Address To North Carolina I Members of the Jr. Order State Councilor, D. W. Sorrell, says the following to the North Carolina Juniors: The members of the National Board of Officers are paying us a fine tribute In their plans to lay the corner-stone of the North Car olina Cottage Dormitory at the Lexington home on Sunday after- , noon, June 16th, 1929, at 2:30 o'clock. This Is being built by North Carolina Juniors at a cost of about $125,000.00. Your council is invited to send a representative group on a pil grimage to the home to be present on this eventful occasion. The meeting has been arranged for a Sunday afternoon so that the mem bers of the Junior Order within the state may make the trip, attend the exercises and return to their home during the day without loss of time1 from their places of business. The boys' band and girls' glee club from the Tiffin Home and the children at the Lexington Home take a prominent and conspicuous part. Our own beloved Dr. Charles E. Brewer, who will probably be elcted National Councilor without opposition at the Charleston ses sion, and the Honorable Jas. L. Wil meth, our genial, efficient and very capable National Secretary, will de-1 liver splendid addresses and you will do well to have a delegation to hear them. The members of Graham Coun cil will meet on the courthouse steps in Graham on the morning of the 16th, Sunday, and be photo graphed before the delegation leaves for Lexington to attend the cornerstone laying. Alamance Farmers Grow Certified Seeds Mr. G. K. Middleton, seed special- ; 1st of State college, has recently made visits to the farms of Flave' Hornady, E. C. Ingle, John Trol linger and N. A. Kimrey. These farmers plan to join In with Gov ernor Gardner's "Bettep Seed Cam paign" and to join with a host of other farmers in producing certi fied seed for other farmers. A field of wheat on the farm of 1 E. C. Ingle was certified, the same was true on the farm of H. A. Kim rey and John Trollinger; a field of Abruzzi rye was certified on Mr. Trollinger's farm. To produce certified seed, the seed must be of an approved varie ty, the source of seed known. Not : more than one-half of one percent of another strain is allowed in the variety. Only one percent of smut : Is allowed, no weeds as onions, cockle, cheat are allowed. The field of seed offered for cer tification is Inspected by the seed specialist, if approved it is later ex amined in the bin for weeds, if still approved it is later given the germination test. On each bag of seed sent out by the grower, it carries a tag show ing the findings of the seed special ist, and carries the signature of the seed breeders stating that these seed are as represented by the seed specialist and himself. This is a good step forward by our farmers. Seed of known quali ty and origin Is an advantage to all growers. W. KERR SCOTT, County Agent.' Esther Hosiery Mills' New Building. Down at the east end of Albright Vvenue Esther Hosiery Mills Is naklng progress on Its new bulld ng, where the dying and finishing vill be done. Sam T. Johnston Is he contractor. This new building Is one story, 150x80 feet and basement 60x80. ["he concrete foundation Is finished ind the brick work is getting well mder day. If the business grows, rather we ihould continues to grow, the com-1 >any has plenty of room for addl lonal buildings, and the prospects low are that others will be needed. iVe are not Informed as to any 1m- 1 nediate contemplated increase in1 he number of machines, but that will come along, no doubt, with lusiness growth. At the present .he demand is taxing the machin-1 :ry equipment to its capacity day ind night. . Just about a year ago Mr. John: r. Black and his son-in-law, Mr. M. i 3. Neesc, launched the little enter-1 irise. It grew from the very start.1 \bout six months later more equlp nent vsrs necessary In order to sup ply the demand for the high-class1 hosiery product, then followed the1 admission of other shareholders, I increase in capital stock and addi tional equipment. The growth of this plant has been I sntirely, we might say, satisfactory; and very few people in the com munity are aware that It has now a payroll of around a $1,000.00 a week. It is hoped that at the end of an other year the business will have grown to the extent of demanding other and further enlargement. Sweet Clover Succeeds With Two Of Our Best Farmers. John Aldridge, Haw River, N. C., has just stored away 18 acres of Sweet Clover hay. He says it is too much hay for a poor man to fool with, as it filled his barn, two tobacco barns borrowed for storage from Bob and Doc Keck, and three stacks in the field. It is just as fine for grazing and better still for turnng under to improve land. Forty farmers met at this farm to study this crop. E. C. Turner, Mebane, N. C., was host this week to a delegation of 19 farmers who came to study his success with growing Sweet Clover in a twelve acre field and to study a field of Australian winter Peas. Fattening our soils is one method of farm relief being studied by Ala mance Farmers. W. KERR SCOTT, County Agent. Eight hundred 4-H club members are expected to attend the annual short course at State College July 29 to August 3. Yadkin farmers have organized a dairymen's association to pro-1 mote the cause in this mountain county. Twenty-nine farmers join ed at the first meeting.

AMERICA'S PIONEER LOCOMOTIVE REBUILT FOR TOUR OVER LINES OF THE SOUTHERN - 5 HtiET, 24T/vTHf3 31 F?T, lit VHCHti 1^- / ^ ? w y ????? .'?- - .sri^r. -rrw Ninety-nine! Year* of Progress?The "Beet Friend of Charleeton," Which Made History in 1830, aid One of tho ' / Southern's Modern Engines, which Pulls the "Crescent Limited.' / I Charleston, S. a.?The "Best Friend of Charleston," first locomotive built In America to be used In regular railroad transportation service. Is riding the rails again, a reproduction of this pio neer engine, together with Its toy-like train having been constructed by the Southern Railway Company to be carried under Its own Bteam over : the South for exhibition. The "Best Friend of Charleston" was designed by C. E. Detmold and built at the West Point Foundry In New York City for the South Carolina Ca nal and Railroad Company, now the Charleston division of the Southern, and brought to Charleston by ship on October 23, 1S30. After several trials, It made Its first scheduled regular run on Christmas day of that year. Its career was brief as well as historic for on June 17, 1831, its boiler was de-' stroyed by an explosion. A negro help- ' er, during the temporary absence of the engineer, had tied down the safety valve, being annoyed by the sound of escaping steam. The engineer who returned just .In time for the explo sion and two other men were injured In the accident. Subsequently, the run ning parts of the "Best Friend" were used In the construction of the "Phoe nix," which remained in service for many years. Weighs Only Four Tons. Like its prototype, the "Best Friend" of 1928 weighs only approximately four tons and has an upright boiler, resembling a bottle. Coal Is used as fuel, there being no available supply of the rich pitch pine which was fed Into the bollfer of the original. It has tour driving wheels, fifty-six Inches in diameter. Two Inclined cylinders with six-Inch bore and slxteen-lnch stroke work down inside the frame to a double crank shaft, which serves as the axle for the rear pair of drivers. Connecting rods, working outside, transmit power to the forward pair of drivers. The cylinders are at the for ward part of the engine and the bpller at the rear end. The locomotive <? only It feet 10V4 inches long, but in height it vies with modern engines, measuring 14 feet lQ1/* inches from the surface of the rail to the top of its smokestack. The original was even wider than engines of the present day, having been built on the five foot gauge which prevailed in the South up to the eighties, but it was necessary to build the reproduc tion on the standard gauge of 4 feet 8% inches in order to operate It on tracks now in seevice. The reproduction has also been pro vided with a steam gauge, water glass and other safety appliances which were unknown tti 1830. Like the orig inal, it has neither whistle, bell nor light. Hand brakes have been installed on the service car, forerunner and of the modern engine tender, and the two coaches which make up the train, whereas there were no brakes of any description on the original "Best Friend," or any of the cars of its train. Locomotive builders of those days were evidently so much interested in get ting their engines to run that they gave no thought to the problem of stopping them. The valve gear works automatically when moving forward, but has to be manipulated by hand for back-up movement. Coaches of 1830 Model. The service car is 12 feet four Inches long. The two coaches which look like omnibuses on flanged wheels are faith ful reproductions of those drawn by the original "Best Friend" on its first run. They are 14 feet long, each being equipped with a double bench, running the length of the coach. Passengers on the two sides of the bench sit back to back. Doors are on the side, mid way the length of each coach. There is no way for passengers to go from one side to the other or to pass be tween coaches without getting outside the train. The South Carolina Canal and Rail road Company was chartered Decem ber 19, 1827. Construction work began in Charleston on January 9, 1830, six | miles of track, built on trestle work [ and laid with strap rail were completed that year. The road was opened to Branchville, "62 miles, in November, 1832, and to Hamburg, S. C., on the Savannah River, opposite Augusta, Ga.. October 1, 1833. It was then the loos est continuous railroad in the world, being 136 miles in length. It was also the first railroad to carry the United States mail. Subsequently a branch was built to Columbia from Branch ville, which thus became the first rail way junction in the world. A branch from this branch was built from King ville to Camden. The original line and the branches are now parts of the Southern Railway System. The reproduction of this historic lo comotive and its train by the Southern serves to call attention to the extra ordinary part Which the business men of Charleston played in the develop ment of the early railroads of the South. The construction of the line jo Hamburg fired other communities with the ambition to build railroads and many of them turned to Charles- y ton for capital to carry out their plans. Horatio Allen, one of the leading engineers of his time and one of the earliest advocates of railroads to be operated by steam power, was employ ed as chief engineer by the South Carolina Canal and Railroad Company and sui>ervised the construction of both roadway and machinery. Nicholas W. Darrell helped to set np the "Best Friend" after its arrival in Charleston and was the first man to open its throttle, thereby having good title to being the first locomotive en gineer in America. He ran an engine for many years and was then promoted to master machinist in which position he served until his death in 1869. The reproduction of the "Best Friend" was manufactured in the Fin ley shop of the Southern at Birming ham. Ala., and assembled in the Charleston shop. The coaches were built in the Southern's shop at Hayne, S. C., incidentally named for a Caro linian who was among the most prom inent of early advocates of nkttgai; construction. 1 ?
