tinue their rsvages they extend to the

THE FIRST AMERICAN LOCOMO-
TIVES.

In 1920 Mr.. Horatio Allen, who had
been in England the year before to learn
all that could then be learned about steam
locomotion, reported TO the South Caro-
lima Railway Company ir favor Of steam
instead of horse power for that line. The
basis Of that report, he says, Twas on the
broad ground that in the future there
was no reason to expect any material
Improvement in the breed of horses,
while in my judgment, the man was not
living who knew what the breed of 10
comotives was to place at command"
As early as 1929 and 1880, Peter Coop.
er experimented with little locomotive
on the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. At
a meeting of the Master Mechanics As
sociation in New York, In 1875-at the
Institute which bears his his name-he
related with great glee how on the trial
trip he had beaten a gray horse attached
to another car.
The undeveloped condition at that
time OF the art of machine construction
is indicated by the fact that the flues Of
the boiler of this engine were made of
gun barrels, which were the only tubes
that could then be obtained for the pur-
pose. The boiler itself is described as
about the size of a flour barrel. The
whole machine was no larger than a
hand car Of the present day.
In the same year that Peter Cooper
built his engine, the South Carolina Rail
way Company had locomotive, called
the "Best Friend" built at the West
Point Foundry for its line. In 1881 this
company had another engine, the South
Carolina" which was designed by Mr..
Horatio Allen, built at the same shop.
1t was remarkable in having eight
wheels, which were arranged In two

HISTORY.

History is valuable as showing the
manners and customs OF those people
who have made most progress in civil
ization. History, properly studied, ,raises
to us the curtain revealing the grand
panorama Of the past in which we see
all the great revolutions of human
thought as well as the habits of thought
of those people who have made no pro.
gress or rather retrograded. II we con-
slider United States history as embracing
all that is needful to be known to give
us Just conception OF the developments
of human society, we are building air
castles and have no sure foundation, for
although grand achievements have been
made by the American people their ad-
vancement is but small compared with
the amount of progress that had been
made before the discovery OF America.
THINK you that America was peopled by
barbariansl Whence came our ances-
tors and what was their history before
they crossed the Atlantic? How long
had they been a civilized people when
they came to these shores, and what were
the great events which led to their civ
ilization? has man always lived on the
earth? Such questions as these should
be asked by every man and answered for
himself individually without regard to
the opinions of another. Every man
should gather all the information he can
and form his conclusions according to
his own judgment.
Our earth was not suitable for the
abode OF man until about 5000 years
ago. Nature is constantly undergoing
changes! sometimes gradually and i'm
perceptibly. sometimes by terrible con-
vulsions such as the earthquake, volcano
or such as the precipitation Of the earth
in.o the sun. Probably every atom Of
the elements OF our earth has during the
ages Of the past gone through as many
vIcissitudes as the dewdrop sparkling in
the summer sun. The dewdrop is evap

WEIGHT OF LOCOMOTIVES.

The size and weight of locomotives
have steadily been increased ever since
they were first used, and there is little
reason for thinking that they have yet
reached limit, although it seems prob
able that some material change of design
is impending which will permit Of better
prOpOI GiUns OF the parts or organs OF the
larger sizes. The decapod engines built
at the Baldwin Locomotive Works, in
Philadelphia, for the Northern Pacific
Railroad, weigh in working order 14S,-
600 pounds. This gives weight OF 49,
300 pounds on each driving wheel. Some
ten wheeled passenger engines built at
the Schenectady Locomotive Works for
the Michigan Central Railroad, weigh
118, 900 pounds, and have 10, 666 pounds
on each driving wheel. Some recent
eight wheeled passenger locomotives for
the New York, Lake Erie & Westel n
Railroad weigh 1l5, 900 pounds, and have
10, 800 pounds on each driving wheel. AT
the Baldwin Works, some consolidation
engines are now in progress which, it is
expected. will be still heavier that the
decapod engines From American

AUGUST.

Now Nature sits with folded hands,
As resting from the busy year,
While DER the wide and teeming lands
She contemplates the goodly cheer
She gives; oil energizing powers
Lie mute and still, and drowsy hours
Move noiselessly, their jocund moods
And songs foregoing in deep woods
And fields, a slumb'rous silence broods
Unbroken, save by beetles drone
And oerfed bees dull monotone,
Or leaves low rustic as they make
pathway for the gliding snake.
The patient cows seek shadows cool,
That stretch themselves like giants prone
Along the edges of the pool
And midst the waters stand knee deep,
In dreamy, semiconscious sleep.
Birds sing no more, but on the hill
The tender plant of whip-poor.wll
Who, telling OF her woeful tale,
Lingers full late after her time,
While at slow intervals the chime
OF sheep-bclls in the distant vale
Falls on the ear like tuneful rhyme,
Lulling the senses, till in idle Dreams
We half forget the real in the thought Of tina
which seems.

Five Officers Shot by Negroes.

SLAUGHTER OF THE LATTER IN REVENGE RE-
PoRTED-RAcE WAR IN MISSISSIPPI.
There is much excitement in Mississippi over
a bloody ARRAY between negroes and whites in
the town Of Wahalak, Kemper county, on Sum-
day evening. Reports differ as to the number
OF killed The latest reports are that five
white men, members Of the sheriff's posse, were
slaughtered by the negroes, and that in revenge
large number of the latter were afterward
shot down. The trouble started on Friday.
when white boy named Nicholson had fight
with colored boy. Mr.. Nicholson went to
separate the boys, when he was set upon by
the negro and badly beaten. He got out a
warrant for the negro's arrest, but the consta-
bic who attempted to serve it was set upon by
gang Of cOlored men and beaten. With a
posse OF twelve the constable later returned
when the negroes are said to have fred from
ambush on the officers. Henry Maury Seth
Cobb, Tom Nicholson, Bill Vaughan and Bill
Hare were killed outright, and Frank Maury,
Iom Giles, Bob Harper, II. L. Harper, John
Dew and jeff Thomas wounded
The news of the slaughter quickly brought to
Wahalak crowds Of people, among them seven
ty-fve well-armed men from Meridian. The
reports up to noon yesterday were to the effect
that the negroes were barricaded in their
quarters and refused to surrender the dead
and wounded whites. Later the negroes fied
to the woods and swamps A reign of terror
prevails. There are rumors from MANY points
about Wahalak that slaughter Of negroes has
occurred
