ing the wear of the heaviest traffic,
and that it is now proposed to lay at
least two hundred feet OF track as a
section OF the Geneva road, which
will be the first experiment with this
track to be made under official aus
pices. The department has adopted
a design for the proposed trackWay
after extensive correspondence with
the principal steel manufacturers OF
the country. Sometime ago circular
letter was sent to the leading manufac-
turers, describing the views OF the de-
psrtment and soliciting suggestions,
sketches and estimates. Encourag-
ing responses were received from sew
eral firms such as the Carnegie Steel
Company, and some others. The of-
cials of the steel works became inter
ested in the project and submitted
quite q number OF designs. After
much careful study, a plan OF track
was evolved which gives every prom
ise to meet eli requirmen!s. No wood
will be used in us construction, ard
no cross:ies for support, as the aver
age mind would be led to telieve. The
track consists OF simple inverted
trough, or channel Of steel. for each
wheel with a slightly raised head on

ingenious feature OF the road is
The arrangement for remcuatirg the
road in the event that a heavy wzgo1
becomes dislodged from the trocs.
The ends OF the rails are joined by
certain nlates which serve to Din the
rails and present an inclined SHOULDER
by which the aislodged wheel easily
travels TO the track aione. The de-
partment has already prrchased TWO

4 dispatch q day or two after the
election reported President Mckinley
as saving: II am well pleased with
the result of the election as it indicates
that fealty to the republican party and
to the principle it represents is as
stoag as ever" We have heard that
President Mckinley is steward IN
the Methodist Church, and Methodist
stewards as general thing are pretty
honest, truthful men, bu: in the face
Of tae fact that the Presidents o"n
State. Ohio, came dangerously near
eIecting Democratic Legislature,
which means displeasure at his ad-
nlinistration, Brother Mckinley must
excuse US for doubling him. In the
language OF the Charleston Post,
what there is in the Ohio situation to
please the president it is hard to con-
ceive. Senator Hanna is probably
beaten, if not by msjority OF the
Democrats, perhaps by q combination
against him Of membe of his own
party. At any rate The Republicans
maiorities are cut down until bare
trace of them remains, and II Hanna
wins an election to the senate 1t WILL
be by a mere shave. Tnis IS hardly a
matter for the president to be well
pleased over"

The Carolina Spartan says short
crops prevail throughout this section
of tee S.ate, but the farmer must not
get discouraged He must set his wits
to work. As tie Spartan stated few
weeks ago, fall cats and rye on good
lapd will supplement ths short corn
crop. Three acres Of good land for
each horse, sowa in WHEAT, will stop
the drain for -four. A good garden
begun now will shorten the grocery
bills Tao or thres cczen hens we'll
managed will supply the family with
sugar, and a good COW or two will
make surplus butter enough to buy
shoes. Let 70 one be discouraged.
Ali should begin at once to plan tc
meet the short crops and low prices.
Toe wise, brave man AID woman
should rise superior to circumstances.
Next year may be good all-around
crop year. s little wise planning and
steady licks will help 10 surmount all
obstacles that now seem to block the
way.
