A MYSTERIOUS ROADBED,
Phenomenon Not Accounted For on
North Carolina Railway.

North Carolina Railway.
While representative was on his
rounds the other day in search of items
he met Capt. T. d. Meares, general
agent of the Seabourd Air Line, and
put the usual query of newspaperdom:
"What's the news?''
"Not thing" he replied, "unless you
want to make an item of mystery or
the Seaboard Air Line that up to date
has not been solved"
Capt. Menres then went on to say that
between the ~ and 55 miles posts or
the Carolina Central railroad there is a
piece of track for distance of nearly
six miles that presents 4 singular con.
dition that so far amounts to an mex.
plicable mystery. All trains going and
coming, go to grinding and start terri.
BILE squeaking when they get on this six
miles of track. The noise comes from
not only one car. but eve.y locomotive
every coach and every car of whatever
kind sets up grinding as if turning 8
curve.
The noise is something like the
screeching of an OK cart that has nc
grease on it, and it is made by every
truck in train. The track is perfect
ly straight, and, as there is no curve at
all, the cause of the grinding and
squeaking has mystified the railroad
people.
Every effort has been made to ascer
tain the cause of the difficulty. The Io-
comotives have been examined, the
coaches and cars have been scrutinized,
every cross-tie and every rnil has been
inspected, every joint has been looked
at, and every foot of the track has been
Iegauged, but no explanation could be
found. The section master has almost
crawled over the six miles on his knees
in search of the cause: the road master
has tried his best to ferret out the mat
ter, and the superintendent has been
over the track and inspected it-all of
them making repeated efforts time and
again to find out what is the matter
but they have given it up as bad
Job. They have not only not been able
to discover the cause of the noise, but
have been unable to discover any theory
to explain the mystery.
1t is one of the railroad mysteries of
the age, and has been going on for &C
years. During that time the cross-ties
and rails have been replaced several
times with new ones, but without eff.
feet. Who can explain the mystery p

Light Soils and Early Maturity.

Vegetables that are expected to ma,
ture early do best when planted on
light soils, that is, on soils having only
slight traces of clay, say from one to
fifteen per cent. The more clay, the
slower will be the development of the
vegetable. 1t may be generally stated
that early products are best on light
soils, and late products on heavy soils.
