Winston-Salem Journal. r.' The most sensational story in con nection with the building cf the Southbound railroad i9 that ot the engineers, who had charge of the work, and without whom the road would not be an accomplished fact today. When it la considered that through this department three and one half millions of dollars has been distributed during1 the past fifteen months, without a single voucher be ing returned for correction, which sum being paid for wages to over 1000 laborers, engineers and for ma terial, the system of the engineering department of this company is par excellence. Starting in after the meeting when Atlantic Coast Line and Norfolk and Western officials had agreed to build the road, the chief engineer was wired for during the , last days of June, 1909, but Col. O. H. P. Cornell was down on the Yadkin river and could not be reached until July 1, when he was asked to be ready for bids by July 15. "You will appreciate how difficult was my task when I tell you that not a stake had been driven in the line for four years and every stake that had been placed had disappeared dur ing that time," said Col. Cornell, and the line itself was indistin uishable to anyone but myself for the brush that had grown up. "With not a single civil engineer in my employ, the men who had been with mewere scattered far way, when my son, Mr. A. L. Cor nell, came through here on his way to take up some work in Danville, and I grasped him eagerly. Then I went to work, wired for men until I had organized three or four engineer ng corps, mapped and staked out the traight portions so that the contrac tors could go over the road, and was ready and did call for. bids on July 13." Col. Cornell goes over the earliar history of the road, of the first subsa quent surveys, of the hundreds of miles ridden by himself and engineers in such surveys, there being no United States geographical surveys published d'f tbis'part ofthe country and the county maps being inaccu rate, so that the brush and woodland We Offer For Sale on most liberal terms, and at lower prices than will ever be asied again, a number of lots near and adjoin ing the Southbound railroad, suitable for all kinds of business, residence or industrial places, at ANSONVILLE.

Later when it was assured that mom would be forthcoming to make the road, Cel. Cornell was asked by Mr. Johnson how long it would be before he could travel ever the com pleted road in hia car. This was on September 1, 1909, and the Colonel's reply was that the road would be completed in two years. Mr. John son replied: "I would like to go ovr it in one year," and CoL Cor nell, not to be beaten in performance, answered: "If they will furnish the money promptly, and there are no unforseen circumstances, you can make the trip in one year.' j At this time the C. C. and O. rail road was cutting down its force, and several good engineers were secured in this way, and they being familiar with what was wanted soon had the line re-run and staked out by the time the contracts were let Between eighty and ninety bids were put in, which occupied 10 tp 12 effice men several weeks tabulating to decide the most advantageous bids, and then the work was award ed, which was done under eighteen contracts, besides a few small con tracts not classified. A bond of twenty-five per cent was required of the amount of the contract for good faith and protection. In addition to this, fifteen per cent of the price was withheld until the work was completed as an additional guarantee. With a work so stupendous the to tal cost of which will be about three and one-half millions, it might have been imagined that there were many mistakes made, that the men were unruly, or that trouble might be caused by the contractors, but none of thi3 happened, and only one engi neer was discharged, and he for but a comparatively small mistake. Of the whole work two pedestals at Salem creek were built too. high and had to be cut down, and a cul vert was made too short, and had to be extended. These were the only errors, and when it is considered that all the holes for all thu bridges, as well as the bridges themselves, were fabricated in Virginia and Pennsyl vania, shipped to the spot where erected, and fitted to a nicety, the work of the railroad engineer can in small part be understood. The contractors on this railroad did fully twenty-five 'per cent of their work at night, and had extra gangs to take the work when others left off One peculiar thing that should not be forgotten was that when Col. Cor nell was asked to lessen the highest grade against traffic from one per cent, which was on the distance of 90 miles of the first survey, and to bring the grade to six-tenths of one per cent, the distance was also reduced to 87 and seven-tenths miles. Usually one would have thought that by lessening th grade the dis tance would be lengthened, but it was made shorter by making the line straigbter, and by changing the line from the southwest side of the Yad kin river to the northeast side near Whitney, reducing the length of the line at that point between 1700 and 1800 feet. The line stands 72 per cent tangent and 28 per cent curve,. " To get an idea of the benefits al ready derived by the Piedmont sec tion from the money already paid out for wages to toe laborers and others it is well to mention that besides the office force" in this city during the time of construction there has been nine corps of engineers, besides the chief engineer, Cvl.

It la not too much to say that the medical profession today no longer be lieves that any drug (with a few excep tions, like quinine in malaria, mer cury and the antitoxins) will cure a disease as such. All that It will do Is so to modify conditions as to help the body In Us fight against disease. We are no longer content. In the biting phrase of Voltaire, to "pour drugs of which we know little Into bodies of which we know less." What will help one patient will harm another. and wbat may be beneficial in the early stage of a disease will be useless or even Injurious In a later stage. In the language of Captain Cuttle, the effect of a drug, like "the bearin' of an observation," "depends on the ap plication on it." It is neither rational nor safe blindly to swallow down a drug which Is highly recommended In a certain disease and expect it . to "do the rest" There is no such thing as a universal cure for a disease nor even a remedy which can be relied upon as a good thing to take" at any and alt stages of it Dr. Woods Hutchinson in Delineator. i Gagadig Gigadab.

Dear Sisters: It will soon be time for the Wo man's Exhibi t, and the chicken show, in Wadesboro. It was fine last year. Let us all unite In trying to make it better this year. Sickness prevented my being with you last year. I hope to be present this year. These things should tend to create more interest, greater zeal, and cause us to make better and Dicer things. The spirit of rivalry it produces should be in love, not in envy or jealousy, or it will kill the very object our leaders, Mrs. Boylin and Mrs. Red fern, are working for. They wish to better educate us, more industri ous, neater, more progressive, loving, truer wives and daughters. They wish as to make our exhibit to equal or excel others. And they would have as to be sincere in every respect. If we are requested to have our names out of sight or to use a mark every one should do so. I am sure our judges wish to be honest and true, and do not wish to be partial to their friends. In observing this rule they will have less chance to favor some, and if one receives less prizes than another let us profit thereby by having the judges point out to us the better qualities, and why it is the best. On one occasion tbe Judges were ex amining thd chickens. They were heard to say, "That ben should have first prize, but we can not give it to a clipped fowl." They finally gave it to another hen which also bad a clipped wing. Now, would the judges have done this if their friends had not been following them? Let this not be said of our exhibit, lam sure the judges wish to be alone. Now, If we should bring something nice or extra good that do prize is offered lor, would it not be better to encourage this dear mother by giving her a premium? I knew a lady years ago to carry dried okra and tomatoes. No prize was offered. Very few bad seen any then. The judges at once decided she must bTave a year's sub scription to a good magazine. I knew one to exhibit some Dice cheese she made herself. Because there were no prizes offered for this she received nona.. A. blue ribbon some token of appreciation would have pleased her. Now, dear friends, let 03 all take our best, if it is only one article. I am sure most of us can bring at leat six, and, it we don't get any premi ums, we will erjoy looking at the the nice things others bring, and wLi at least encourage our ltders. who wisn an to help them.

A Cottaai Faraacr from Iwif Back. Monroe Journal. . Mr. P. P. W. Plyler spent last Fri day night with Mr. R. J. Wentz of Vance, after addressing the Farmers' Union at Mill Grove. Mr. Plyler was asked about the reports of tbe wonderful amount of cotton that Mr. Wentz ii said to have grown on four acres, and replied, "Wentz has been telling the truth about that cotton. I saw his field and beard how he bad treated it, and the stalks on the land looked like trees. Mr. Wentz is not a bragging man, but he'll tell you about it if you ask him." On four acres this year Mr. Wentz made 12 five-hundred-pound bales. The ground has been in cultivation four years and the stumps are not yet out. It is naturally a rich, black loam. Before he plowed it the first time he gave it a coating of stable manure. This year he put 3 1-2 sacks per acre of high grade fertilizer on it. From 18 acres thi3 year Mr. Wentz sold $1,800 worth of lint cotton. From his crop he has spent $1,200 on his house, paid ail his farm expenses, ha3 all his seed, three bales in the lint, and $200 in cash. This fine four-acre tract he will get the stumps out of and put in wheat. Consistency. Knlcker Where was Jones going when arrested for speeding?

Instead of being dead Wainwright was not even seri ously injured. Spencer cut the arrow off close to the point of entrance and then gently drew Walnwright's head forward until he was released.
