Porter. pastor or the U'lrst uaptisi cnurcn ox that city, while the music was direct ed by Mrs. R. R. Carlyle, assisted by choirs of young people's unions or tne First Baptist church. Dr. Porter is a native of Columbus county, tnis state, and is a brother of Rev A. H. Porter, of Whiteville. Lumberton Is the home of Mrs. Carlyle. She is spending some time in Texas with her nusDana, ivir. Rudolph Carlyle, who went to that stntA in the snriner In search of health. The mother of Dr. Porter grew up and spent her life before marriage oniy a short distance from Lumberton. It is bad enough to slip off punched money anywhere, but it is going be yond the limit to throw it in a church fund when a collection is being taken, as was done lastSunday. Mr. Grover Britt, reporter for The Robesoman, is - rapidly coming to the front as a close second for Judge Borneman, of Wilmington, from a mat rimonial viewpoint. Mr. Britt is jus tice of the peace, marries people and then writes 'em up. Before a large audience of many colors he spliced a colored couple in the court house Thursday evening about 7 o'clock. They came in on the R. & C. .train from Ma rietta, and from the style in which the bride was dressed, of course, lt was understood that they were already morrieri hut not so. By chance Mr. Britt came in on the same train and by -chance he and the happy couple made their way to the court house ac companied by a crowd that swelled aa It moved up town until there were something less than 500 followers. Li cense was called for, but somebody had purchased the required document ear lier in the day but had failed to show up with it. Being satisfied that it would be legal the county attorney In frmuii th rearister of deeds that he could cancel the first licence and re fund the money when returnea to mm. Therefore, a second license was issued. administered the necessary oath, the groom smiling said, "Well, I s'pose ws'i married is wei But not yet, Justice Britt hadn't said the words that made two near jump as one. A big crowd of colored nurses had gotten .on to the happening, and as that couple left the court house yard, they were showered with an -i j . fhof wan Home aounuitavo m - dressed up bride, such a-veil being few nrt far between. It was one of these white sidewalk sweepers. Few Files and BioaoniToes. Notwithstanding the great amount of rain which has fallen here this sea son, there has been remarkably v f ew flies and mosquitoes so far. In many parts of the town great mflucemeuw are offered for mosquitoes as. on ac count of the rains the grass and weeds have covered many lots and streets not frequently used. Fillyaw & Co. have recently Installed an electric egg tester which guar antees to show up any defect in eggs. The firm Inspects as they buy and sell, guaranteeing every egg to be good. Trouble along now Is getting eggs to test at any price. Only a few days ago there was not one to be had in town at any price. The work of repairing the street at Seventh and Elm has been completed and it is now open for traffic. Watermelons of fine size and qual ity are now plentiful on- the market. The few applies that are offered for sale are as a rule of very inferior grade. An extra train was run out of Lum bertan this morning over the R. & C, carrying empties to be loaded with to bacco, which has been accumulating for several days, and could not be moved pn account of ca rhortage. The passenger crew handled the extra. Rev. R. E. Powers, of Rowland, will conduct services at the First Baptist church tomorrow morning at 11 o'clock. Rev. C. L.

(Special Star Correspondence.) Fayetteville, N. C, July 28. Will Sawyer, negro barber, died at 8 o'clock this morning at the HIghsmith hospital from injury received when a 100-pound block of ice fell on his head while picking up ice under a car being re frigerated at the Fayttvill Ic and Manufacturng Company near here last night. Sawyer was not employed by the Ice company, but was one of many persons living in the neighborhood of the plant who have been accustomed to take advantage of the loading and refrigerating operations to gather up ice which falls to the ground. Mr. A. E. Dixon, secretary and treas urer of the company, said this morn ing that persons picking up Ice while loading was going on had hee nrepeat edly warned of the danger and that the company had at times placed a special policeman on watch to pre vent the practice. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh, N. C, July 28. Food produc tion and conservation will be the "big idea" at the State Farmers' and Farm Women's Convention which will be held at the A. & E. College Tuesday Friday, August 28-80, when more than 1,000 farmers and farm women from all sections of North Carolina' are ex pected to be present to profit by and enjoy an exceptionally fine programme of lectures, discussions, demonstrations and recreative events. The programme differs in many re spects from those of previous years. The mornings will be given over en tirely to sectional meetings and dem onstrations. There will be four sec tions devoted to live stock, Mr. Dan T. Gray, chief of the Animal Industry di vision of the Agricultural Extension Service, having arranged a particularly strong programme for this branch of the work. The sections will be devot ed, respectively, to dairying, poultry, swine, beef cattle and sheep. The wo men's section will be devoted to dem onstrations in the canning and dry ing of vegetables and fruits, discus sions of the conduct of the household and kitchen under present conditions and othr t6plcs of vital import to farm women. The afternoon sessions will be given over to joirt discussions of the men's and women's convention. At this time well known speakers will lecture on subjects bearing directly upon the part North Carolina farmers and farm wo men will play In the production and I conservation cf looa and reed stuns, with practical suggestions for Increas ing crop production and farm prod ucts. The evening sessions will be given over to .one lecture each evening i and a motion picture programme. Every inducement is being offered to encourage the farmers and-farm wo men of the State to attend the con vention. Low round trip rates have been granted by the railroads from every county, in the State, good from August 2 P to September 2. Dormitory rooms are given free at the college and meals are served at a cost of only 25 cents ea ch. All who attend, however, are expected to bring with them bed sheets, pillows, towels and necessary toilet articles. The Death, of a Hero. "It Is far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; lt Is a far far better rest that I go to, than Iave ever known." Sidney Carton (William Farnum) as he is about to pay the death penalty in "A Tale of Two "Cit ies" at the Royal Monday and Tues day; Adv. . STRONGEST LGIPMQTO 31P 'I ASS Kgi "" Orice more has American genius dem onstrated Its supremacy-In the railroad field, tills time in the production of the most powerful locomotive In the world; not a freak built for spectacular pur poses, but the first of a standard type of giants of the rails constructed for a definite purpose. It is capable of de veloping 7,000 horse power, and waa designed and built by the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Westing house Electric and Manufacturing Com pany. This monster, capable of exerting as much power aa a string of trolley cars over half a mile long, draws its current from a wire no bigger than that used by a trolley, car, or about the size of a lead pencil. This is made possible by the use of the high voltage alternating current system. The Important field for this engine will be for hauling the tremendously heavy freight traffic of the Pennsyl vania Railroad over the Alleghany Mountains from Altoona to Johnstown, Penn., including the famous Horseshoe Curve, a distance of approximately for ty miles. The freight traffic over this division runs as high as 300,000 tons a day. In capacity this locomotive ex ceeds by more than 50 per cent, the power of the large electric locomotives in transcontinental service, popularly called the largest locomotives in the world. The locomotive has been sent to Phil adelphia, where lt is being placed in initial service on the electrified portion of the Pennsylvania main line extend ing west from Philadelphia to- PaolL It is built In one unit. There are two trucks, each having six driving wheels six feet in diameter. On each truck are mounted two powerful electric motors taking current from the trolley wire and supplying mechanical power through a gear wheel to the drivers. The total weight Is 260 tons, length 76 feet Al though this weight is compact, the en gine is said to be much easier on the track and roadbed than the steam loco motive because the weight is cushioned and the running gear is perfectly bal anced for all speeds. The control has been applied to such perfection that power can be exerted gradually so as to enable the engine to start a train without Jerk and acquire the speed of twenty miles per hour with a heavy train in about two minutes. This speed is fixed as desir able for the grades and curves which will be encountered when crossing the mountains. An interesting feature Is the fact that the engine will handle these enormous trainloads, owing to the design of the motors, at constant speed, whether op erating up or down grades. When go ing down grade the motors automatical ly become generators and return power to the line, and at the same time obvi ate the use of the airbrakes, which are simply held for emergency use and for bringing the train to full stop. .1 j h .
