Among the most thrilling exper iences of the survivors of the Pres que Isle country forest fires, was that of Miss Grace Barber, a school teacher 19 yean old, whose school was in session when the flames swept down upon the school house. She took all the school children to a plowed field near by, where they were kept crowded close together, each burniug ember being extin guished as it fell upon their clothing. Soon animals began to appear on the edge of the field and during the night two bears made their ap Dearance. Among other animals appearing was a fox and a wild cat, but none, including the bears, made any hostile demonstration Miss Barber kept her charges in the field until morning, when they were sent to their homes. Southern Has Resumed Work. The Southern Railway has again began the work of double tracking A Lynchburg Special to the Char lotte Chronicle savs: "An extra force of nearly 300 negroes and twenty two camp cars were brought to Motley's on the Southern Railway yesterday, and the men were at once put to work on the new double track line of the company between Durmid and Svcamore. a distance of about thirty miles. This is taken as a further indi cation that the freight business of the Southern is increasing and that the company desires to have the use of its new tracks as early as possible. It is reported that the double track will be ready for use from the block station, opposite the cotton mill, to Sycamore not later than January 1st." This is good news to the conn try and it shows that business getting better. Ed. Nfws. ;l County Teachers Association Nov- ember, 7, (90S. PROGRAM 10 a. m . O p e n i n g Exercise, conducted by Rev.

EveYv true Uuuw f Conn- ty will make a sacniice, if neces sary, to be present at 10 o'clock Seaboard Improvements. Approximately 1,000 a mile is being expended by the Seaboard Air Line on its road betweeu Char- otte and Monroe and will presum ably be expended on the Charlotte- Rutherfordton end of the same line. his amount is being placed iu general improvement of the track and those who have seen the char. acter of the work being done agree that it is being made one of the finest tracks in this entire section. The road after being raised and eveled to a distance of from 15 inches to 2 feet in some places, is being ballasted with the excel- ent combination of small rock and sand which comes from the Pee Dee section of the State. The bal- ast is being cut from a hill near ilesville and is making a superb roadbed. It abounds in a coarse variety of sand and smooth, round rocks which appear to have come direct from the shore. Ranging in size, these rocks give the sand a Substantial quality, and makes a fine mixture for such purposes as it is being put to. The ballast is costing the road $8 car and it requires 65 cars to the mile. It additionally costs a mile $250 in labor and $200 in transportation, which makes a total of 970 a mile, exclusive of new cross-ties which are being laid where they are needed. The road bed is not only being given a soli dity of unusual proportions, but is being made an altogether beautiful stretch, having the appearance of a single bar of sand. Counting that the cost of a mile is 1,000, which is the lowest esti mate that can be made, the Sea board will expend a total of $100, 000 between Monroe and Ruther- fordton, au approximate distance of 100 miles. Many are thinking that the money essential in carrying on this decided improvement is coming from the wealth of the Carolina, Clinchfield & Ohio Railway Com pany, the new name for the South & Western owner of the grand sys tem which has been cut across North Carolina's mountain chain to secure direct connection to the coalfields of West Virginia and that entire stretch of country which has hitherto had no straight outlet into the South. The presumable intention of the C. C. & O. to connect at Wilming ton and establish there a coaling centre for shipments demands that the Searboard's line be used be tween Rutherfordton and that ter minal. No matter who is furnish ing the money or what the ultimate intention of those who are spend ing it, it remains an apparrent fact that Charlotte is to have run ning through it as fine a railroad as touches any city in this Entire section 'of the South.
