Delicate Machinery.

After going through II pin factory
one is easily persuaded to believe that
machinery can be taught to think. In
the first place, the wire from which
the pins are made is examined by
machine that seems to sean every par
ticle Of it, as though to detect any de-
feet that might exist in its substance.
Then it measures off II bit, Just long
enough for one pin, and hands it over
to another piece of mechanism that
holds it against tilc-wheel until it is
pointed 1t is then passed on to m
other filc-whcel, where it is smoothed
and finished; then travels little
further, where it is seized by IL grip
| snd forced into recess, where the
head is made. A pair of pinccrs then
takes it from the die and drops 1T into
tray, and the work of the machine is
done The whole process does not oc-
cupy five seconds, for the pincers that
catch and drop the pins work so fast
that the pins are coming all the time
in n stream from the machine, but Sc
remarkable is the mechanism, SO infal
lible in it's action at every point, tina
it really appears to reason as it works

Little Ivy in America.

The English ivy cannot be success
fully grown in this country except un-
der shelter or in hot houses. The
summers are too hot and the winters
too cold. 1t takes wet country,
where the thermometer seldom rises
above eighty degrees in the summer
or sinks below twenty degrees in the
winter. The English climate exactly
suits it, and in no quarter of the world
does the plant attain such luxuriance.
Many attempts have been made to
raise it in America, but outside few
limited spots in Virginia and the Car
olinas, where exceptional climatic con
ditions prevail, all have failed.-Neu

in the vicinity of Moore's Cross Roads,
about miles from Lake City, near the

Narrow Escape.

GREENWOOD. S. C.-An old negro was
run over and killed few miles above

tanburg to Augusta. Both limbs were
severed at the thigh, The coroner's
jury were sent by railroad on the same

The verdict was accidental death with
no blame attachcdto the railroad.
Returning to this point in our special
cab, with the dead body, we saw, with
alarm, heavy freight train bearing
down on us around curve and on down
grade. There WAS collision, of course,
but excepting sprains and bruises there
was but little damage, and that to the
raiload. 1t seemed that misunder-
standing of orders caused what may
have been very serious accident. The
offending freight train with our caboose

The Virginia Peanut Crop.

The condition of the ''goohcr" or pea
nut industry of Virginia is said to be
fairly satisfactory, and speculation IS
rife as to the production or size Of the
crop for the current year. The acreage
of the Virginia pc c.nut crop this year Is
cslimated to be about % 900 acres,
about j, coo less than that Of 1892. The
yicll last year was cons dcrcd large to
the acre, and the output was over 3,O0O,-
600 bushels. Under the present condi-
tons of the crop for 1898 tn; output is
expected to reach about ., 500, 900 BUSH
els. The sudden advance in prices in
the early spring of this year induced
planters to put in a full crop, and if
good weather during harvest should
prevail and prices ho.d firm, planters
will reap the benefit. The demand for
goober, has doubled within the last five
years, and yet the supply does not fill all
the requirements. No other plant in this
country can be utilized in SO many diff
fcrent ways, and hence the possibilities
