FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
The Chamber of Horrors Which WAs
 Built Hundred Ye ATS Ago.

One of the curiosities in England at which has recently been converted into museum, or into what foreign jour- nalist style "a chamber of horrors." She was built l10 years ago, and her first years were spent iE cruising be- tween the East Indies and England. In 1929 the British admiralty bought and stationed her in the waters of western Australia. Capt. Stirling was then in command, and from his Scottish birth place the town of Perth in Australia Success piled between London and East Adelaide. On her last trip abe lad on board several hundred immi- grants who intended to seek tueir for. tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire crew bNcame seized with the same gold fever aad the result was that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and went off to seek their fortunes. The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Van Diemens Land, as Tasmania was thep called, and she also served as 9 floating erison for especially dangerous crim, inals. The vessel then became popu- iarly know mas "The Hcli of the Ocean," title which was evidently well deserved. Old records show that 9ome awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners cells wore in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them Moreover, they were SD fashioned that they could be made light or dark, and the most insu5ordinate prisoners were always placed in the latter. These curious cells, many of the old instru~ ments of torture and number of wag figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Sue cess, and arc attracting a crowd Of sightseers The old ship is at present in Leith HarboT. in Scotland, New York Herald.

 Contractors In south Missouri en- ploy many negroes to load railroad ties on the cars of the Memphis rail- way, says the Kansas City Star. The ties are cut in the woods, hauled to the railway in wagons and dumped in piles along the side of the roads The negroes then take them up, tie by tie. and Fun with them up the blanks to the cars, whore they drop them in regular order These negroes are paid a price for each tie they carry, so they VIC With one another to earn the most money In one day. They become 50 expert at the work that an old hand can throw a heavy tie on his shoulder SD that it will balance, and then. with out holding it, he will run both hands pressed fiat against his sides, up the gang plank to the car. The negroes are so accustomed to the whrk that they seldom drop a tie and seem never 70 have sore shoulders. One may see gangs of dozen or more of them. all singing and whistling Each sings at the top of his voice or whistles as loud as ne can, and every tune is different. The effect is amusing, but beyond de- scription. The men carry their ties at trot all day long. An inspector stands beside the plank that goes up The ear to examine the ties being load s'd. It is amusing to hear the inspec. tor call negro halfway up the plank with tie on his shoulder to throw it away among the heap of bad ties. The negro gets no credit for his load and gees back swearing at his bad luck, while his companions stop their music and burst into loud, uncomfortable laughter. All these negro tie carriers have deep grooves in the right shoul- der, where the ties have pressed, but the flesh is cailoused and seldom sore. The men make good wages, most of them s3.5o a day. They spend all of 1t. Very few of thesa save their money.

History Of Williamsburg Church,

and now out of print, and we
think there would be a good de-

,ion from one Mrs. w. j. Parham,

scenIant of some of The earliest
settlers in Williamsburg, and i
interested in tracing up her al.
ceslry. She has secured copy OF
the "History of williamsburg

poses to have it reprinted. She
asks RE to get the names of some
subscribers at IS cents per copy
TO help defray the expense Of the
undertaking. If this appeals 10
your interest in the history oi
