GREAT IMPROVEMENTS The Spar
tanburg Herald says that the Charles
ton and Western Carolina Railway has
purchased thirteen locomotives, about
two hundred freight cars, twenty two
passenger coaches and large number
OF fiat cars, to be delivered at an early
date. They have also bought ten miles
OF new steel rails, which will be placed
on the main line and released rails
used for sidetracks. Extensive i'm
provements will be made at Port Royal
and Augusta. They have bought
several large warehouses In Augusta
and will extend their track down the
river bank into the very heart OF the
city. When these terminals are com
pleted, their facilities Tor handling
business In Augusta will be superior
to any other line. Contracts have also
boon made for several steel bridges.
All OF these improvements will require
an expenditure of some $500, 600 OF
$500, 600. These contemplated i'm
provements viii all be made during the
summer. -

LONGEST RUN IN THE WORLD.
"A Cornwall Express Train Goes from
London to Exeter Without Stop-

Cornwall Express Train Goes from
London to Exeter Without Stop
ping
New York Herald.
The longest regular daily run made
without stop by any railway train in
the world has just been placed on the
schedule of the Great Western railway
OF England.
1t is made between Paddington sta
tion in London, and Exeter, a distance
of l9l miles in three hours and thirty
six minutes, by what is known as the
Cornwall express. 1t is remarkable
not SO much owing 10 the time, as for
tho fact that not 81 stop is made from
one end OF the line to the other. There
have been longer runs made without
a stop, but they have been made by
special and not regular trains. The
average speed attained by the Corn
wall express when making this run is
5l.7 miles an hour, although owing to
a peculiar construction of the road at
Bristol, 1l8 miles from London, the
train Is obliged to slow down to a speed
often miles an hour.
This express train is composed of six
long coaches, a tender and engine. An
American would call it q vestibule
train, but the English prefer to call
the cars bogie clerestoried corridor
coaches" bogie being term applied
to the trucks. They are fully as heavy
as an ordinary drawing room car, each
one weighing about forty-seven thou
sand pounds, while the train without
the engine and tender is eighty-one
tons, making total weight Of the
train as it rushes along on its long run
two hundred and twen,y-one tons.
During the run it is necessary to
take water for the engine twice. This,
however, does not necessitate any stop,
as 1T is taken up from trench beside
the track as the train speeds along at
nearly q mile minute
The engine which draws this essen

the engine, six in number known rs
trailers, are four feet six inches in dia-

The waite" tank of the engine holds
10000 gallons, and when running al

there rs heating surface OF ,56l

Each day the run is made, the train
leaving Paddington station at 1925
o'clock in the morning, and it never
fails to roll into ST. David's station, ir

allowed by the schedule for this rur
makes no allowance for delays of an,

Summaries of the results of estab-
fishing postal savings-bank systems in
a few important countries have been
printed. Among these countries are
England, France, Russia and Austria
Hungary. The main feature of the sys-
TENS is that the government, through
it's ,~post-ofices, is the custodian of de-
posits in small amounts, especial at
tention being paid to encouraging the
young to acquire the habit of saving.
In England one person in every seven
is a depositor in a postal bank, and the
total mount Of the deposits in the
keeping Of the government is nore
n four hundred million dcl.ars. Al
though the system has never been test
ed in the United States, It's adoption
has been urged by various public Off
Gals OF high rank; and it Is probable
than the more than satisfactory results
in foreign countries will lead to its
establishment here.
