filled by men Wno had gathered to
hear the sermon. This Is estimated
to have been the largest congregation
of men ever assembled in this city.
The sermon was not sensational In any
way, but appealed to men for right
living.
"Last night there was a union
service In the tabernacle. As a re
' suit there was hardly a vacant seat
In the immense building. The themo
was 'Prepare to Meet Tny God.'
Many evangelists have preached from

The farmers of the county are

protest. A number of them will
meet here to-morrow and discuss the

previous warning, would be wrong.
The tillers of the soil argue thai the

so Independent that it could tell the
cotton producer that he was of but
little If any consequence. There was
a day that the country trade was
considered seriously, and many local

Greensboro,'.' Feb ,.14. At Gulf,
North Carolina, on the Durham A
Charlotte Railroad, 1 yesterday in the
presence of several, - gentlemen - of
State -wide reputation there may have
been some history made. It was the
day for the final test of Wright's au
tomatic safety car brake attachment,
mention of which 'has , from' thne to
time appeared In the papers of, this
State, A long story as to the patent
and how It all came about would per
haps be of no Interest' to the general
public, but the publlo will perhaps
be Interested the narration of the fact
that it proved a success.
.The Durham ft Charlotte Railway
was chosen as a place for the test
principally because it waa on this road
that the private tests had been made,
and also, because Superintendent
Frank D. Jones had been very kind
in proffering use of track and equip
ment to make the test. There were
present at the test but few railroad
men, and the-reason- for there-Jiot be
ing more present, as was indicated by
several telegrams received, ,waa be
cause Gulf Is a hard place' to, make
and return the same day.
Those who witnessed the Urial test
yesterday were: Frank D, Jones, gen.
era! superintendent of the Durham ft
Charlotte railway; J. & Cameron, mas
ter mechanic of the same road; A. M.
Smith, superintendent , of the ; western
division of the Southern Railway: E.
L. Chollman, master mechanic Greens
boro division of the Southern, and
many other gentlemen of the State
Interested as spectators or otherwise
in the exhibition.. Among them
were: John B. Wright, the Jnventor;
C. E. Holton, John A. Hodgln, F. O.
Lawson and Dr. J. T. J. Battlethese
last named gentlemen living la Greens
boro. '
The Observer correspondent will not
undertake to describe the device, ex
cept to say that it Is a simple auto
matic attachment, which is placed on
the centre of the floor of , the car,
over each truck and If anything hap
pens to the truck; to the wheels; to
anything belonging to the car that
would cause trouble, this Ingenious de
vice immediately applies the emerg
ency brake, and, of course, stops the
entire train. '
If one wheel Is derailed instantly,
theemergency brake Is applied and
thus preventing the buhplng over the
cross ties and the final piling together
of the train. If there is, In abort
any abnormal motion of the wheels
this device applies the emergency air
brake and prevents trouble. One
might write columns describing the
device and after that the reader would
be In the dark because arch' bar
and Journals and trucks and all those
things are more like "shop talk;" and
as a news story your correspondent
wants to Bay that the trial test was
entirely satisfactory rrom every view
point.
A car which had been supplied with
this new agency to prevent, wrecks
and derailment, or rather to stop the
train after such had happened, was
given all the tests up to the limit A
trail was taken up and thevcoarata',7
run off 'the track and the moment
It left the rail the air was applied,
the large driving wheels of the loco
motive coming to a dead freeze and
sliding h foot or two. The test of
a split switch was made and there
was no disappointment. ' Obstacles
were placed on the track and when
the wheels struck them and went ov
er them the air came Into play and
the., wheels" were stilled.
Railroad men who were Interested
wanted to know how it would-be In
the matter of severe bumping of cars;
would the device apply thelr when
it was not wanted. The Jocomotlve
ran ahead. Quite a distance and came
back against the car with as much
abandon as th ordinary railroad en
gineer usee in switching cars and ap
parently trying to break out the head
beamsr-but hot a tremor. The de
vice met all requirements; more than
met the expectation of the interested
railroad men and was such a success
that Division Superintendent Smith
told your correspondent that when he
made hla official report he would re
commend that the Southern have the
device tested -on Its own tracks and at
some point .where it would be pos
sible for the head men of the mechan
ical department along with other of
ficials to witness Its workings. Mr.
Smith waa agreeably surprised and
said that he was generally not Inter
ested in patents gotten up to prevent
accidents as they most always were
Impracticable; and that he did not
go to this test exhibition of his own
accord, but. went under Instructions
and expected to say that It was of no
account but he was deeply impress
ed and makes no excuse for saying
that It it will stand the test of their
expert machinists that It will prove
a wonderful thing In the railway
world.
Mr. Frank D. Jones, general super
lsindent of the Durham ft Charlotte,
experienced railroad man, said that he
saw the first test and had had his
master mechanic experiment with It
and they were satisfied that It was
something long needed and would one
day come into universal use. Mr. J. S.
Cameron, master mechanlo of the
Durham ft Charlotte aald he was slow
to endorse these new fangled patent
devloos but that thU one was right
up to now, and he had tried It in ev
ery conceivable way and that It never
failed and certainly would save rail
road untold sums In the matter of
preventing wrecks.
Mr, e.- U Chollman, master me
chanld of the Southern said that he
was most agreeably surprised ; that he
went Into an .examination of tt
far as he could; that he witnessed the
tests and It certainly Jooked like at
last that something ; had been found
that would give tho . engineer assur
ance that hla train, wHi i not : on the
ground but that U Vm well at the

WHAT THE KIDNEYS DO.
Thetr TJneeaaing Work Keeps Us
Strong and Healthy.
. All the blood in the boy passes
through the kidneys once every three
minutes. The kidneys Alter the
blood. They work night and day.
When healthy they remove about 609
grains of Impure matter dally, when
unhealthy some part of this Impure
matSer is left In the blood. This
brings on many diseases and symp
tomspain In the back, headache,
nervousness, hot dry iskln. rheuma
tism, gout, gravel, disorders , Of the
eyesight and hearing, dizziness, Ir
regular heart debility, drowsiness,
dropsy, deposits In the urine, etc
But if you keep the filters right you
will have no trouble with your kid
neys. Charles L. Nellson, of Troutman's,
Iredell county, N. C, writes: "I want
to say a few words of praise of Doan'e
Kidney Pills, as they are the only
thing th-u ever gave relief from kid

finally affected a permanent- cure. I
have tried dozens of other so-called
kidney cures without any effect, but

Last August my husband, who le a
railroad man, was badly hurt by hav
ing a severe blow on the head, caused
by a piece of Iron falling on It. In a
few days he suffered badly from dlul
ness, and he was not able to walk
across the room. Then nausea set In,
and he vomited everything he would
eat We became very uneasy about
him, as the doctors could not, define
the nature of his hurt Hla whole
system became Involved from his
condition, the doctors' treatment gave
ODEOra
RINK
him no relief, and one of tho physl- , s
nlana artvlaait an nnaratlnn M n
charged a great deal of bloo4 from T - . -his
nose and would frequently vomit " '
blood, but the doctors said that
came from the stomach and not front, l' ;
the hurt. Then one of my friends. '
who had unbounded faith la Mrs., f '
Joe Person's Remedy, begged me to. ,!
use It My husband lost his- flash '
and was greatly reduced, and t that -
time we did not expect him to . live V '
long. We got Mrs, Person's Remedy
and put him en it. and In twenty-four , '
nours we could see a change for the
better. The vomiting of blood
ceased, which made us hopeful We
continued to use the Remedy and It
made, perfect euro ot hla case, and
he U now well and In good health.
