Will Save Money.

The vacuum locomotive fire kinder
which has been on trial at the SouEhern's
new shops for the past three months, has
been adopted by the company and will
be used hereafter by this company in all
its shops as soon as they can be procured.
The invention is the greatest saver Of
time and money that has ever been In
vented. The old way of firing an engine
with wood has been done away with. 1t
no longer takes one and half or two
hours to get up steam as it once did with
the old way of using wood. The new
kinder is an invention of n. H. Smith,
master mechanic of the Norfolk and
Western Road at Bristol.
1t was patented last September, but
since that time there has been considera-
BILE improvement, until it is now one Of
the most complete machines ever invent
cd. 1t is very simple. Oil is used in the
place of wood, and besides saving time it
is great expense saver. With thls new
method q fire can be started in three
minutes and steam raised in from twenty
FIVE to fifty minutes. With the old meth
cd it required at least one and half
hours. The way to kindle the fire is to
place about three inches of coal over all
the CRATES; then the oil stream is forced
into the furnace, together with current
of air, the same as used for testing air
brakes, etc. The air entering the fur
mace with oil acts as an atomizer, and the
entire bed of coal is fred in about three
minutes. The amount of oil used is be-
tween quart and three pints. The great
advantage gained is in the cost. When
the cost Of obtaining wood, delivering 1t
and the extra labor in using is all taken
into consideration it costs from % to So
cents to fire an engine, while with this
new method, using West Virginia oil
bought by the tank it costs Ices than two
cents per engine to kindle the fire. With
this method there are no Inconvenience
and everything is clean and nice.
There are at present only two railroads
using this method, the Southern and the
Norfolk and Western. It has been on
trial for several months at the Southern
shops. and after thorough test it has
bee' 7opted by the company because it
Sc great deal of time and money and
is IL ssping with the advances made in
every other line.-Knozuille Journal.

The Saplent Grow.

A naturalist who is much interest
ed in birds says that the crow is the
visest of all feathered animals. He
has made a number of experiments
recently and declares that any Or
dinarily we'll educated crow can count
to 20 and that he has found a sentinel
crow, very old and very wise, that can
count to 26. He made these discoy-
cries in very interesting way.
Last summer he spent much of his
time in the mountain, where cadet
company of boys was camped. One
day he found'a flock Of crows gathered
around dead animal that lay near
alittle old shanty in the woods. They
Aapped away when he approached. So
he hid himself in the old shanty and
waited, but they would not come back.
Then he went out and walked on up
the mountain and they all settled
down again to the feast. That after
noon he took four boys from the cadet
camp with him, and the five marched
into the little building and waited.
No crows came back. Two of the
boys went out. Still no crows. Then
the other two went out and only the
naturalist remained. But the cd
sentinel crow had evidently counted
them as they went in, and he knew
they had not all come out. So he sat
on a dry pine stump and said, "Caw,
caw," quiet derisively. At last the
naturalist left the building and
straightway all the crows returned.
This experiment was repeated a mum.
Der of times with varying number of
boys, but the crows kept count and
would not come down until the build
ing was entirely empty.
At last a whole platoon of the
cadets, rs boys in all, and the nat
uralist, marched into the old building.
Then slowly 20 of them went away.
The crow did not stir. Two more,
four more, FIVE more went, but the
old sentinal warned his companions
that the men had not all gone. Then
the 26th cadet marched away, leaving
only the naturalist. In a very. few
minutes there were number of hope
full caws and a tapping of wings and
the crows returned. The old sentinel
could evidently count to 26, but num-
bers beyond this puzzled him. The
experiment was tried several times
more, and it was found that the or ows
could keep the couns without difficulty
up to 20, but beyond that they were
uncertain. This shows that the crow
is very wise old bird Chicago Re.

An AgnOstic in Finance.

The great majority of the people of
Union County are for the free and un-
limited coinage of silver at 16 to i. Why
Because the most of the speakers they
have heard and the papers they have read
have stated that it would make every
body better Off and times easier. 1t is
very easy to believe anything that you
want to believe, and the above would be
q very pleasant relief, but can you reason
it out or prove it that wayf A great
many people believe there is no burning
hell, we'll that is pleasant belief and
those that believe it want to believe that
way they can't reason it out. On the
contrary, the gold men, and there are q
good many scattered about, say that free
silver will bring about terrible panic
and financial crisis and play the devil
generally; we'll we are not competent to
tell ; we heartily confess that tour Uranium
is not big enough to understand the
question, and we don't propose to take a
stand on question without having some
reasons to back it. If we were in the
habit of forming our opinions with the
majority we would be for free silver, but
we are not built that way. We are not
competent to advise the people IN this
question, at this time. five should be-
come competent Dy more study or LnOuRnI
on it, We will advise them as to which
will be the best for the country at large ;
and will endeavor to give the public
suitable reasons for our position. AS it is
we would advise the voters to read all
they can from both sides of the question,
don't form your opinions from one.sided
arguments.
We understand that nearly all of the
candidates are preaching free silver on
all occasions we suppose because 1t ls
popular. What in the name of common
sense has county officer got to do with
free silver? Can any man tell US? It
simply Injuries good men who have the
manhood to stand by their opinions even
against the majority, in other words
won't swallow their political opinions for
the sake of office. Remember the State
Convention in 1860. A very few members
opposed Secession and voted against it.
The people were awfully put out with
them at the time, but to-day they are
looked upon as the sensible men of that
Convention. Time has justified their
course.-U Union Times.

An Illinois Judpe haa iust mad

An Illinois Judge has just made a
notable decision. One of the so-called
new women filed bill of divorce against
her husband, and the Court ruled that she
must allow him temporary alimony until
the final hearing of the case and also pro-
vide funds enabling him to engage coun-
sci. This is. indeed, a new departure in
the legal line.
Two negroes on Mr.. Joel Abney's
place in Saluda County, were killed by
lightning yesterday afternoon. There
were five in the party returning from a
baseball game, and they stopped under
tree out of the shower, and lightning
struck the tree, killing two and stunning
the others.

Biggest Of All Weddings.

The largest and most remarkable
weddings since the world began took
place at Susa. When the great Alex
ander had conquered Persia, wishing
to unite victors and vanquished by the
strongest ties possible, he decreed a
wedding festival. Now guess how
many people he ordered to be married.
You could never do it. Well, Alex
ander himself was to marry Statira,
the daughter of Darius; 100 Of his
chief officers were to be united to
ladies from the noblest Persian and
Medean families, and 10000 of his
Greek soldiers were to marry 10000
women-2O, ,2O2 people married at once.
don't see how they managed to get
up feast for so many, but they did,
and for a vast multitude Of guests
besides. They had the most splendid
arrangements. On plain near the
city a vast pavilion was erected sixty
feet high. 1t was hung and spread
with the richest tissues, while the
gold and precious stones which orna-
mented it would have made your eyes
blink. Adjoining this building were
100 gorgeous chambers for the hun
dred bridegrooms, while for the re-
naming 10000 an outer court was
inclosed and hung with costly tapestry,
and tables were spread outside for the
multitude. A separate seat was as
signed each pair, and allwere arranged
in a semi-circle on either hand of the
royal throne. Each bridegroom had
received golden vessel for his libation,
and when the last of these had been
announced by trumpets to the multi
tude without the brides entered the
banquet hall and took their place.
And now don't you think each bride
groom stood up separately and vowed
"With this ring | now thee wed, =
and so on. No, the ceremony was
very simple; the King gave his hand
to Statira and kissed her as his wife,
and the other bridegroomsf followed his
example.

Buried Alive.

IND1ANAPpoL1s, Aug. 5.-Prof. Boone,
we'll known hypnotist, put j. j. Wyatt
under his mysterious influence yesterday
and announced that he would bury his
subject and bring him to next Friday,
after an interment Of three days. Wyatt
had previously consented to the arrange
ment and the burial took place at Fair.
view park last night at 1880 o'clock, a
tube being passed down to where he lay.
He was buried feet under the ground
and a guard was placed at the grave.
Shortly before noon today Wyatt came
out from under the influence and realiz-
ing his situation, began screaming like a
wild man. He was hurridly dug up, and
it was some time before he could be
cooled down. He protested against a
second interment, but Prof. Boone soon
got him under control and Wyatt was
again put down in the earth. The exper-
iment is attracting much attention.

More Blood in GreenYille.

GREENvGLLE, August News reached
this city of shooting near Reedy River
Factory, in this county, on Thursday
hight. Clifford Richardson and George
Spillers had difficulty about young
woman. Spillers, in company with a
number of young men, followed Richard
son from church and made various re-
marks about the woman, and then Spillers
threw rock at Richardson. This enraged
him and he drew his pistol, turned on bis
tormentors and demanded who threw the
rock. Spillers stepped out and opened
fire on Richardson, bullet striking him
in the hip. Spillers then ran, but
Richardson fired one shot, which passed
through SpilIer's stomach, and will prob
anly cause his death. No arrests have
b zen made.
