We simply did that 5 J S i S which speaks louder than words into action what we claimed to do. prices on Clothing, Shoes, Blankets, and all winter goods; and it wasn't an upprr cut. It was an actual lowering of prices on high grade goods carried out to the letter. Your neighbor knew it and profited by It. .

MORRIS BROS. Department Store CON'TINTED FROM 1ST PAGE. he always carried that pnnk-ular lan tern, with his full name. Sylvester Sau key, ground luto tbe glass Just below the green mautle. Pretty soon, Neela being then eighteen, it was rumored that Sinclair was engaged to Miss San key was going to marry her. And mnrry her he did, though that was not until after tbe wreck lu tbe Blackwood gorge, tbe time of the big suow. It goes yet by Just tbat name on tbe West End, for never was such a win ter and such a snow known on the plains and in the mountains. One train on the northern division was stalled six weeks that winter, and one whole coach was chopped up for kindling wood. But the great and desperste effort of the company was to hold open the main line, the artery which connected the two coasts. It was a hard winter on trainmen. Week after week the snow kept falling and blowing. The trick was not to clear tbe line; It was to keep it clear. Every day we sent out trains with tbe fear we should not see them again for a week Freight we didn't pretend to move. Local passenger business bad to be abandoned. Coal, to keep our engines and our towns supplied, we were oblig ed to carry, and after that all the brains and the muscle and the motive power were centered on keeping Nos. 1 and 2, our through passenger trains, running. Our trainmen worked like Americans. There were no cowards on our rolls. But after too long a strain men be come exhausted, benumbed, indifferent, reckless even. The nerves give out, and will power seems to halt on Inde cision, but decision is the life of the fast train. None of our conductors stood the hopeless fight like Sankey. Sankey waa patient, taciturn, untiring and. In a conflict with the elements, ferocious. All the fighting blood of his ancestors seemed to course again In that struggle 'with the winter king. I can see him yet on bitter days standing alongside ' the track In a heavy pea Jacket and Kapoleon boots, a sealskin cap drawn snuggiy over his straight black hair, watching, ordering, signaling, while No. J, with its frost bitten sleepers be- - hind a - rotary, struggled to buck uorougn me ten ana twenty iooi cuts which lay bankful of snow west of McCloud. Not until April did tt begin to look as If we should win out A dozen times tbe line waa au but choked on jsi And then, -when snowplowt were disabled and train crews desperate, there came a storm that discounted tbe worst blizzard of the winter. As the , reports rolled In on tbe morning of tbe Cth, growing worse as they grew thicker; Neighbor, dragged out, played ou, meniaiiy ana pnysieuiy. inrew np nig tsaada. The 6th It snowed an day. : anal est Saturday morning the section reported thirty feet la tbe Blade . It was 6 o'clock when we fot the word and daylight before we get the rotary against It. They tracked away tin -soon, with discouraging results, -and came la with their gear smashed and a driving rod fractured. It looked as If we were beaten, ."" 1 f t Into jrcCJool e'r:ten , S S I we We put cut s s s s 5 s hours Into. It was Saiik.'r's stiM Si'i Hair's run wet. There was a Ions council in the roundhouse. The rotary wa knocked out. Coal was niniiiii low in t In ch utes. If the Hue wasn't kept open for tbe coal from the mountains, it was plain we should be tied until we could slilp It from Iowa or MIhsoui'I. West of Medicine Pole there was au other big rotary working east, with plenly of coal behind her, but she was reported stuck fust in the Cheyenne hills. Foley made suggestions, and Dad Sinclair made suggestions. Everybody bad a suggestion left. The trouble waa, Neighbor said, they didn't amount to anything or were impossible. "It's a dead block, boys." announced Neighbor sullenly after everybody had done. "We are beaten unless we can get No. 1 through today. Ixok there! By the holy poker. It's suowiug again!" The air was dark lu a, minute -with whirling clouds. Men turned to the windows and quit talking, Every fel low felt the same at least all but one. Sankey, sitting back of the stove, was making tracings on his overalls with s piece of chalk. "You might as well unload your pas sengers, Sankey," said Neighbor. ' You'll never get 'em through this winter." And It was then that Sankey propos ed his double header. He devised a snowplow which com bined In one monster ram about all tbe good material we had left and sub mitted the scheme to Neighbor. Neigh bor studied it and hacked at It all be could and brought It over to the office. It was like-staking everything on tbe last cast of the dice, but we were In the state of mind which precedes a desperate venture. It was talked pver for an hour, and orders were finally' given by tbe superintendent to rig up tbe double header and get against tbe snow as quick ss it could be made ready, . All that day and most of the ulgbt Neighbor worked twenty men on San key's device. By Sunday morning It was In such shape that we began to take heart. "If she don't get through she'll get back again, and that's what most of 'em don't do," growled Neighbor as be and Sankey abowed tbe new ram to the engineers. They had taken the 560, Georgle Sin clair's engine, for one head and Burns' 407 for the other. Behind these were Kennedy, with the 314, and Cameron, with the 200. The engines- were set la pairs, headed each way and buckled np like pack mules. Over tbe pilots end stacks of tbe besd engines rose the tremendous plows which were to tackle the toughest drifts ever record ed, before or since, on the West End. Tbe ram waa designed to work both ways. Under the coal each tender waa loaded with pig Iron. The beleaguered passengers on No. 1. -sidetracked la the yards, watched the preparations Sankey was making to dear the Una.. Every amateur on the train had bis camera snapping st tbe ram,. The town, gathered la a alngle mob, looked atlently on and Usbmed to the frosty notes of the skyscrapers aa they -went through their preliminary maneuvers. Just as the final word w-j frrn bj F -vy( In charg-, tie ua burst fllroiEitr the fleecy cloods, aoe a wIM cheer follow the ram out of tbt western yard. It waa good tack to see the tun actio.

Besides, the "bead cab of tba ram carried tola time not only Georgia Sinclair, but her father aa well.-Sao-key could bandla a allco bar aa well as punch and rods on the bead engine. where. If anywhere, the bis; chancer hovered. What ha waa not capable of In the train aerrlca we nerer knew, be canae be waa stronger than any emer gency that ever confronted blm. Bucking auow la principally brute force. There la little coaxing. Just west of the bluffs, like code algnala between a fleet of cruisers, there waa a volley of sharp tooting, and in a min ute the four ponderous engines, two of them In the back motion. Area white and throats bursting, steamed wildly into tbt canyon. Six hundred feet from the first cut Sinclair's whistle signaled again. Bums and Cameron and Kennedy answered. and then, literally turning the monster ram loose against the danllng moun tain, the crews settled themselves for the shock. At such a moment there la nothing to be done. If anything goes wrong, eter nity Is too close to consider. There come a muffled drumming on the steam chests, a stagger and a terrific Impact and then the recoil, like the stroke of a trip hammer. The snow shoots into the air fifty feet, and the wind carries s cloud of fleecy confu sion over the ram and out of the cut The cabs were buried In white, and the great steel frames of the engines sprung like knitting needles under the frightful blow. Pausing for hardly a breath, the sig naling again began, then the backing, up and up and up the line, and again the massive machines were burled screaming Into the cut. "You're getting there. GeorgieP' ex claimed Suukey when the rolling and lurching had stopped. No one else The cabs were buried in white. could tell a thing about it, for It was snow and snow and snow, above and behind and ahead and beneath. Sin clair coughed the flakes out of his eyes and nose and mouth, like a baffled collie. He looked doubtful of the claim until the mist had blown clear and the quivering monsters were again recalled for a dash. Then It was plain that Sankey's Instinct was right They were gaining. Again they went In, lifting a very avalanche over the stacks, packing the banks of tbe cut with walls bard aa Ice. Again as the drivers stuck they raced In a frenzy, and Into the shriek of the wind went the unearthly scrape of the overloaded safeties. Slowly and sullenly the machines were backed again. "She's doing the work, Georgle!" cried Sankey. "For that kind of a cut she's as good as a rotary. Look everything over now while I g3 back and see how the boys are standing It Then we'll give ber one more and give It the hardest kind." And they did give her one more, and another. Men at Santiago put up no stouter fight than they made that Sun day morning in the canyon of the Blackwood. Once and twice more they went In, and the second time tbe bumping drummed more deeply. Tbe drivers held, pushed, panted and gain ed against the white wall, heaved and stumbled ahead, and, with a yell from Sinclair and Sankey and the fireman, the double header shot ber nose Into tbe clear over the Blackwood gorge. Aa engine after engine flew past tbe divided walls each cab took up tbe cry. It was the wildest shout that ever crowded victory. Through they went and halfway across tbe bridge before they could check their monster catapult Then at a half full they shot It back at tbe cut It worked as well one way aa the other. Tbe thing is done," declared San key. Then they got Into position up the line for a final snoot to clean tbe eastern cut and-to get tbe bead for a dash across the bridge Into toe west end of the canyon, where lay another mountain of snow to split. "Look the machines over close, boys," said Sankey to tbe engineers. "If nothing's sprung we'll take a full bead across the gorge tbe bridge wli arry snything-and buck tlie .west cnt Then after we get Ne. through una arternoon Aeighbor can get bis . , 1 . . . I Dauy caos in nere ana Keep 'em cuss ing all night But ifa done snowing." be added, looking Into tbe leaden sky. tie had everything figured out for tbe master mechanic Jtbe ahrewd, kindly old man. TberVa no man oa eartn like a good Indian and, for that matter, none like a bad one. Sankey knew by a military instinct just what I had to be done and how to do rt. If ne had lived be waa to bare been assist ant superintendent Tbat was the word which leaked from headquarters after be got rilled. . ... h- AM, with aolley of Jokea between tbe cabs and a faughinjr and a yelllnc between toots, yown went ISankey's donble neader 1" x 'n into fbe T'nr t- wood (Jt-gw . " At the same moment by an awrul mis understanding of orderir dews ' came the big rotary from the West End w! b "a dozen cars of coal behind It W!e after mile It had wormed east to ward Sankey's rain, burrowed.turough tbe western cut of the Blackwood, crashed through the drift Sankey was aiming for and then whirled out Into tbe open, dead against htm, at forty miles an bour.N Each train. In order to make the grade and the blockade, waa straining the cylinders. - Through . the swirling snow which half hid tbe bridge and swept between the rushing plows' Slnclslr saw them' coming. Be yelled. Sankey saw them a fraction of a second later, and, while Sinclair atrugjled with tbe throttle and the air, Sankey gave tbe alarm through the whistle to the poor fellows In the blind pockets behind.'- But tbe track waa at the worst Where there waa no snow there were whiskers. Oil It self couldn't have been worse to stop on. It was the old and deadly peril of lighting bljcUudes from both ends on a single track. Tbe great rams of steel and Are had done their work, and, with their com mon enemy overcome, they dashed at each other, frensied. s cross the Black wood gorge. The fireman at tbe first cry abot out tbe aide. Sankey yelled at Sinclair to Jump, but Georgia shook his bead. He never would Jump. Without hesitat ing an Instant, Sankey caugbt blm In his arms, tore blm from tbe levers, planted a mighty foot and hurled Sin-' clair like a' block of coal (through the gangway out Into the gorge. Tbe oth er cabs were already emptied, but the Instant's delay In front cost Sankry's life. Before he could turn the rotary crashed Into the 500. They reared like mountain lions and pitched headlong Into the gorge. Sankey went under them. He could have saved himself. He chose to save Georgte. There wasn't time to do both, tie bad to choose. Sankey hurled SlncVitr thnwjh gangway out into the gorye. and be chose Instinctively. Did he maybe, thluk lu that liasli of Neeta and of whom she ueedej most of i young and a stalwart protector better than an old and a railing one? I d: not know. I know only what be did. Every one who Jumped got clear. Sinclair lit In twenty feet of snow. aud they pulled him out with n rope ue wiisu t surutcneu. Even tne bridge was not hndly strained. No. 1 pullet: over it next day. Sankey was right- there was no more snow, not enough to lilde the dead engines ou the rocks. The hue was open. There never was a funeral In Mc Cloud like Sankey's. George Sinclair aud Neeta followed together, and of mourners there were ns many as there were people. Every engine on tbe di vision carried black for thirty days. His contrivance for fighting snow has never yet been beaten ou the high line. It Is perilous to go against a drift be hind It. Something has to give. But It gets there, as Sankey got there, always, and In time of blockade and desperation on the West End they still send out Saukey's double header, though Sankey 83 the conductors tell the children, traveling east or traveling west Sankey Isn't running any more. New Cotton Mill. Lenoir Topic. Mr. J. L. Nelson, who has had tbe matter in charge, has pur chased the Larp-ent property at Treland for the new cotton mill site. Work will begin immedi ately and it is expected tbat the mill will be in operation by fall. This will be a 6,000 spindle mill and will manufacture medium and fine yarns. Mr. Nelson made a strong effort to get a site in ot near Lenoir, but was unable to secure a suitable location nearer. Lincoln's Eoad Bond Issue. Lincoln County News.

Mr. Reid was 'pretty well known in York county. He was the father of Rev. B. P.

At present tne Great Catawba Falls to Gastonia by way . of. the power house at Neely's ferry at Clover. The work now - extends practical ly over the whole distance ; but there are numerous skips because of delays in getting towers of the right height. The towers are to be 35. 45 and 50 feet high, the different heights to make them more adjustable to topographical irregularities so as to get rid of zigzags. 'But; most of tbe towers received so far have been of the 35 feet height aud they are to remain. leaving skiDS between. ; The pole line between Yorkville and the power house is not to be re placed by steel towers at present but may be later on.
