SOME QUICK WORK.
Iron Melted at the BIacksburc Foundry
and Machine Shops.
1Charlotte Chronicle. |

OI2i loONS NlAlOll1SISs
Some quick work was finished at
Blacksburg, South Carolina, Saturday.
Major Jno. +. Jones, Superintendent
and Traffic Manager of the Southern
division Of the Charleston, Cincinnati
and Chicago Railroad, has his home
and offices there. Recently he informed
his friends that he would break ground
for the Blacksburg foundry and ma
chine shops, and, within two wrecks
thereafter, would cast iron and finish
it at his works, and they laughed at
him.
On Friday, February 2lst, men were
set to work within a hundred yards of
the Three Cs depot at Blacksburg,
preparing the foundation for foundry
and machine shop.
At last the foundation was laid and
its walls erected, and then came the
storm of last week. But on Saturday,
although the building was incomplete,
the fires were started, the laden furnace
began to discharge the molten mental,
and before sundown eight blocks of
souvenirs of the event were cast, that
will be distributed this week among
the Majors friends and acquaintances.
Major Jones has just completed at
Blacksburg, a brick school house, a
printing office, and a row Of otta res.

A BRAVE YOUNG LADY.
She Kills Burgular While He was Ran
sncking Her BuIeau.

CHARLOTTE, n. c., March 4.-On
last Monday morning about 8 o'clock a
burglar was killed in Sampson coun-
ty by Alice Kinney, 10 years old. Miss
KinDey's father is dead, and she lives
alone with her mother on a farm.
The two are the only persons who
sleep in the old farm house. On Sun
day night Miss Kinney was aroused
by the noise of some one in an adjoin-
ing room. She at once realized that
a burglar was in the house. Under
her pillow was revolver. The young
woman took the pistol in her hand
and concealed it under the quilt.
Then she lay as if asleep, and when
the burglar entered the room he walked
up to the bed and concluding that the
young woman was sleeping sound!y
began to look about the room. He
wore a mask and carried a pistol in his
hand.
AS he turned his head away from
her she heard him whisper to himself:
";She is purity, and guess III hab ter
see her later" He went to the bureau
and began to go through the drawers.
The bureau was directly in front Of
the bed, and when he turned bis face
Miss Kinney quietly raised in the bed,
took aim at the mans head, and
fired.
Instantly the burglar whirIed
around, and as he did so she again,
fired, and then he fell to the floor with
groan. With the smoking pistol in
| her hand she watched about five min
utes when he died. Then the alarm
was given and a crowd gathered at the
house. The burglar proved to be Sam
kerns, negro who has given much
trouble.

"It fell, Mrs Bowser, because you got

across the joists in the attic. I expect

house in ruins"
But Mr.. Bowser goes even further
than this sometimes. One day a high
wind blew down portion Of the back

stood and gazed at the wreck for mo-

"Well, what less could have been

"But did I blow that fence down Mr.

"Did I? You were here all the time.
You say it was the wind, but where are

And one evening when he came
home looking out ofsorts and I asked
if anything was wrong, he snapped me

see through a milestone as far as the

the farmers instantly stopped sending milk TO his

the boycott and held out for week. The farm
