' * matic block signals oo all double-track lines of the Company and on alt. lines which may hereafter be double-tracked-. "The increase in the volume of business handled at the shops and yard at Spencer, N. C., is such as to make necessary important improvements at that point, including the immediate construction of an oil houses wash and locker rooms, new cinder pits, a new coaling plant, and the construction of new and enlarged stock pens. In connection with these improvements, grading will be done for the erection of a new power house and a 27-stall round-house. "Growing out of the fact that the Company's terminals at Columbia, .S. C., have heretofore consisted mainly of the.various yards af the Company's lines at that point which wet e formerly separately-operated railways, business must at present be handled in several disjointed yards. This condition is to be remedied by the construction of ofie general receiving, dispatching and clas aification yard on property owned by the Compaay at Boyster, just outsida of Columbia. "To prorjde for renewals and ^lsofor new construction, arrangements are being made tor the purchase of 27,100 t*n? nf Snutharn Da>l?a m?ai?)e?J rail for the Southern Railway System." Demonstration. The farming with dynamite demonstration held^at E. L. Harris' Tuesday was largely attended by the farmers and citizens genera }y of this section. It was easily proren "that dynamite is almost an absolute necessity on the farm and it was shown that the danger in its use was small Many of Our farmers are going to begin the use of this new plan of subsoiling with dynamite as well as the many ott\$r uses to which its economy puts it in the front rank. Vacant. Houses. In convocation with some of our leading real estate sen here ",tbe past week we learned with pleasure that at rpftPORfry.there was net a vacant rest dence in Louisburg to be had. He says that %there is, a strong demand for houses to rent. These conditions show that Louisburg is more on the improve than it is ordinarily given credit. it also looks as if those who own property could make a splendid investment in nice residences tor rent. This would not only help the town in the sense ef the income from property, but would add population, and that would necessarily increase business. If you have a piece of property lying idle, put a house upon it that it may be ready to accommodate some one who may want to move to Louisburg, i Riley Items. Every thing is very dull around here and the farmers ardabout through witn their crops. W. W. Perry is on the sick list yet T>ut improving. \ We ere sorry to learn that one of our young men, ?rover Pulley, while employed at a himber camp on Buffalo i near Archer, X.
