A New Wind Stacker.

The straw stacker invented by
Thos. Slutz, It prisoner in the
parish jail, was tested this morn
ing and found to fulfill all the
claims Of the inventor. The new
stacker is intended to prevent
the thresher fans, from checking
up with straw and succeeds adj
mirably. This effect is gained
by placing the wind power in the
rear of the machine instead of in
the front as is the custom now.
Experienced rice men who wit
messed the experiments today
are of the opinion that Slutz has
fortunein his invention and say
it will relieve the thresher man
of many bothersome defects with
which they @fe now compelled to

The readers of this paper will be pleased
to learn that there is at least one dreaded
disease that science has been able to cure
in all stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls
Catrrah cure is the only positive cure
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally acting directly
upon the blood und mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the founda-
ton Of the disease and giving the patient
strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing it's work.
The proprietors have so much faith in it's
curative powers, that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails
to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

Southern Pines is the best ex-

LEADS IN EXPRESS of the year
BUSINESS. with no eX-
ception Of any kind, on the main
line of the Seaboard Air Line, 600
miles, and one ofthe very best in
the passenger business. From
November. till the middle of April
the express matter handled
averages about 100 tons, or 20O,-
900 pounds month; the volume
of express business varies from ST.
500 to $4,000 per month in the
resorting season. This latter
figure represents the business done
during the month of March, of this
year. It is no uncommon thing
to handle from to 10 tons of ex-
press matter from one train and
this is done from 3 to 4 times a
week during the season. There is
no other station on the road that
does this amount of business.
During the fruit Shipping season,
which lasts about 10 weeks, the
average express business is about
$500 a week. The largest weeks
shipments this season was $500
crates, the revenue for which
was $1,000. Many stations do
not do this volume of business in,
whole year. Indications, at this
writing. are that the present
weeks shipments will very nearly
reach this figure.
Speaking Of handling fruit, Mr..
Peck said. "In the fruit season,
we handle in loading from 30 to
IS packages to minute and load
as high as $50 packages to train.
We have one colored man, "Jim"
who can load more fruit
than five men can take away from
the car door and keep up with him.
He has been here about five years
and always hustles. With all the
speed, the fruit is always handled

INTERESTING STATEMENTS
BY AGENT G. E. PECK.
"Considering the size of the
station and the town, the volume
of railroad business done at South
ern Pines is almost incredible, and
the number of passengers hand
led is surprising. During the
months Of February and March
and the first half of April the pas
senger business amounts to from
so to Is people for every through
train of the day. In March, of
this year, the number of passengers
to and from this station was o.
500 and the average business for
the four busy months Of the sea-
son was 1000 passengers per
month. The sale of tickets
amounts to a very large sum in
the season; but thousands of pas
sengers arrive and leave, and have
their baggage handled here, whose
tickets, are purchased at other
places; thousands stop off here for
a few days or few weeks going
to and coming from the Florida
resorts; ten passengers are hand
led here for every one ticket sold.
During the summer months, the
dullest parts of the year in the
passenger traffic here, the sale of
tickets here, independent Of the
excursion tickets ,~sold at
other points, amounts to
$1,000 a month. Only ten
years ago there was only one
train per day each way and the
service and accommodations were
very poor. To-day there are four
trains every day each way, all
modern, we'll equipped, and built
for comfort, convenience and
beauty. And they all stop here.
This is the only station on the
system, except cities and junction
points, at which all trains STOP"
These facts were stated by g. 4.
Peck, the able and energetic man
who fills, (not merely occupies),
the position of station agent of the
Seaboard Air Line at Southern
Pines. They are facts worth
knowing for the volume Of rail
road business done at any place,
except mere junction points, is
one of the best gauges of the
progress and Importance of the
place.

were involved sundry commodities, too
