The Weather,

Oh, what should We do if we never could talk On this most ineNhauStible theme If we couldn't make of this oalSum to calk Each bad-loolling gap, leGlly seam? It may be Society's ship would go down And every blessed American drown. It rains or il shines, it halls or it thaws, We remark as we meet, looking wise As solomon uttering one of his saws A s if only we possessed eyes. Now, would it be safe, do you think, to beguilt Our friends in some other way? Try it awhile. Yes, let Us shy of from this tasteless salute, This dry wisp affronting to sense, And something that's vitally good substitute In place of this worthless orense- Break boldly away from the hampering tether And nibble a juicier tuft than the weather.

Do Your Best.

The signs is bad when folks commence A-fndin' fault with Providence, An balkin' cause the earth don't shake At ev'ry prancin' step they take. No man is great till he can see How less than little he would be Elf stripped to self, and stark and bare, He hung his sign out anywhere. My doctern is to lay aside Contentious and be satisfied; Jest do your best, and praise CT blame That follerS that counts jest the same.

HALLOWEEN M1soa1aF-M AKHRs.
The Last Night in October Finds
Plenty of Tricks for Boys and Girls

The Last Night in October Finds
Plenty of Tricks for Boys and Girls.
Last night was Halloween, and the girl
who did not walk backwards down stairs
with lighted candle in one hand and q
mirror in the other expecting to see the
shadow of her future husband, or the boy
who did not yank somebody's door bell
loose or play tick-tack on a neighbours
window must have forgot themselves.
The age of omens ought to have been long
dead, but every returning Halloween stirs
up heap of frolic, fun and romance among
the boys aud girls. The day is a relic of
pagan times. Dreams take big part in
Halloween customs. Young women risk
nightmares and even worse results by
stutfing the yolks of three hard-boile eggs
with salt and then eating them at the silent
hour of midnight, and many young Sa-
vannah miss lay down last night with the
hope of dreaming of her future husband.
"Tick-tack" on the window pane and
clothesine on the door bell are still popular
pastimes of rude boys, while battering back
gates with clubs and throwing mock oranges
and cabbages at front doors and windows
have still a strong hold on sportive
youngsters, and the mischief was played
last night all over the city.

a NEW swIrcE SYSTEM.
The s., F. and WIS Interlocking Ma.

me D. r. and WIS interlocking Ma
chinery.
The Savannah, Florida and Western rail-
way Is putting in lnterlocking switch ma
chinery near the Bolton street crossing. 1t
Is being put in place by the johnson Rail
road Signal company Of Railway, New Jer-
sey, and the son Of Mr.. johnson, the pat
entee, is experimenting the work.
ms system is comparatively new, but
none the less practical, and the company
has recently putt in northern cities.
2story building on a brick basement
mas been erected Just east Of the railway
track, and about thirty feet north of Bolton
street. The automatic machinery is on the
second floor, and on the third floor are the
levers which are to be worked by the switch
man. The room on this floor has glass
walls, commanding a clear view of all the
tracks In this room the operator controls
the Tour gates, nine switches and eight
signals, and by operating the levers
all the switches from Hall to Waldburg
streets are worked.
There is accommodation for twenty-one
levers, but only seventeen are in use. Four
of them are for the automatic opening and
closing of the gates over the Bolton and
Hall street crossings four operating the
switches for outgoi & trains, four for opera
ing VIC S0llCu0S III AuCOIulEk anu
four for operating switches and locks
BY the interlocking system, when train
is once put on its switch it cannot be de-
rallied, nor can the switch be changed until
the last car passes over. There arr eight
signal posts, with three blades each, and as
the switch is put in position for the train,
the blade indicates by number to the engi-
| neer what track his engine will take, and
| by the operation of the machinery the
danger of collisions is averted, and mistakes
cannot we'll occur. Instead of number of
switchmen, the man in the tower controls
| and shifts them all.
The signals are interlocking like the ma
chinery in the tower and the movable rails
and signals work automatically with each
other, being connected by chains on pull
leys connecting with the machinery in the
| tower
All of the switches have not yet been
| connected with the tower, nor have the
Hall street gates been yet connected, but
the work is in progress, and will be COM
pleted in few days. So far as connections
have been made the machinery works to
| the utmost satisfaction, and the new de-
parture is wonderful feature in the sue
cessful shifting of trains with greater
| safety, economy, and promptitude.

RAIL AND CROSsTIE.

General Passenger agent Bob Hunt, of the
South Carolina division of the Central,
spent yesterday in the city in the interest of
his line.
The Central railroad tickets to the Macon
fair and Atlanta exposition, went off sale
last night. To the exposition about six hun
dred tickets were sold, and to the fair about
five hundred were sold.
Owing to the withdrawal of the Sunday
excursions on the Charleston and Savannah
railway, train No. SO, leaving here Sunday
at 3:45 p. M, will be abandoned. Train
No. IS, formerly No. 80, leaving Charleston
at 4:05 y. m, arriving at Savannah at 1850
p m, will run daily, leaving Charleston at
$40 p M, and arriving at Up. m.
There is probability of new railroad
connection with Barnwell in a short time,
the Charleston World says. The matter is
being agitated in Charleston and along the
line. 1t is proposed to extend the Walter
doro railroad to Barnwell, q distance of
forty or fifty miles. When the transfer of
the road was made to the Charleston and
Savannah Railway Company, it was with
the understanding, the World says, that
the Plant Investment Company would ex-
tend the line to some point on the Barnwell
county line Since that transfer, parties
have written to Mr.. G. S. Gadsden
superintendent of the Charleston
and Savannah railway, asking
what would be done, and suggest
ing certain points along or near the line,
about half way between WATERFORD and
Barnwell. He advised them to go to work
and see what they could do in the way of
raising money and contributing land, and
then make PROPOSITION to Mr.. Plant. He
did not think, however, that Mr.. Plant
would be willing to build the road unless
81 - 70 ax II hyYilf
enough to induce them to work for it. 1t
has been pet scheme Of one Of Barnwell's
most enterprising citizens to have road
built from Augusta to WATERFORD to con-
meet with the Charleston and Savannah for
Charleston, but this plan is thought ill-ad-
vised. because the country be-
tween Barnwell and Augusta, although
there is an air line from Charleston to
that point, is SO billy that it is as costly as
building a read through the mountains.
For that reason the Port Royal and Angus
ia was DETECTED to the valley of the Savan-
nah. The road from Charleston to Barn
we'll, however, is certainty, if the people
along the line and the people Of Charleston
will only put their shoulder to the wheel
and give a lift The Plant system is dis
posed to assist. Mr.. Gadsden says that any
road built through that section would be a
feeder to Charleston, for almost every dol
lar of the business of the present Walter
boro line comes to Charleston, and the ex-
tension of this line would be an extension
of Charleston's territory.

BIG TRAVEL EXPECTED.
The Western Travel to Florida to go
by Savannah.

by Savannah.
General Passenger Agent Charlton Of the
Central, who has just returned from a three
weeks tour through the northwest and
west, to see what was the outlook for travel
to Savannah and Florida over the Central
and its connections since the new
schedule from st. Louis to
Savannah was inauguarated, said
yesterday that the prospects are for a very
heavy travel. A good deal of satisfaction
is expressed by people who go to
Florida that the Central has taken
steps to increase the facilities for
western travel south. Heretofore
the route has been a roundabout one, and
1t has been always a considerable under
taking to make the trip from the west to
Florida. SO many changes were necessary,
and no special accommodations have been
provided before for the tourist travel.
Mr.. Charlton said that the De Soto is
extensively advertised in the northwest
and west, and that Savannah is attracting
good deal of attention. A severe winter
is looked for in the sections which he Wis
tied, and he was told that an enormous
travel will turn from the western world to
Florida.
Mr.. Charlton said that the new schedule
will be fixed so as to connect closely with
the Atlantic Coast Line vestibule trains to
Florida, and the tourist travel from the
west will be made an especial feature
of the Centrars western passenger travel
this winter. 1t is estimated that nearly as
many tourists from the west go to Florida
every season as from the north. and it is
believed that quite as many, and perhaps
more, will go If the proper accommodation
is afforded. Savannah will become the gate
way to Florida if the Ceutral's plans mate
rialize, and General Passenger Agent
Charlton said that nothing was ever more
asSurad
