Great Railroad Traffic,

''The year 1901 will break the record in the volume of traffic handled by south ern railroads" said a railroad official yesterday.
 All the transportation companies are adding to their equipment steadily, but notwithstanding that fact certain ship pers are constantly complaining because they cannot get cars fast enough.
 Two years ago unprecedented prosper ity for some time to come was predicted, and railroad companies and locomotive and car builders began to get ready to meet the demand that would come from shippers. Their imagination was not keen enough, however. Such general business as 1901 has seen was hardly dreamed of eighteen months ago.
 From the way the situation looks now traffic in 1902 will be fully up to that of this year. if indeed it does not exceed 1t.
 But speaking of the kickers in this ter ritory, they are far better off than some of the big concerns in the east and west. MT. Schawb. president of the United States Steel Corporation, said few days ago that he had $3OOO,O0O worth of fin- ished product on hand that could not be moved owing to the scarcity of cars.'

White House Newer cIosed.

'"rhe Associated Press is noted for the intelligent and accurate manner in which 1t prepares its reports, but I was struck with a bit of inaccuracy today" said a man who had spent several years in Washington.
 Under Washington date it was stated that the White House will remain closed until New Years Day when the fact is the White House Is never closed. The President may be away or resting in his private apartments. but an assistant sec retary with a large clerical force will al- ways be found on duty; and when the clerks are through with their days work doorkeepers remain. The front door of the White House is never locked. A doorkeeper and a policeman are on duty at the entrance all night and all day Sunday.
 ''The clerical work in the executive of flee, by the way, has largely increased in recent years. I remember when only four clerks were employed. Now there are at least fifteen. not including two telegraph operators"

Good Building Mechanics.

Birmingham has always been well supplied with good brick layers, but un- til recently there was a great com plaint about the scarcity of first class earpen- ters," said an architect of many years experience in this city.
 "It is most gratifying to architects and contractors to find so many strictly first class carpenters here now. They have been coming steadily from Eastern cities. A year or two ago large majority of our carpenters were only jacklegs. It is not so today. Good carpenters are out numbering the poor ones and it will not be long at this rate when the jackleg is almost thing of the past in Birm- ingham.
 "The increase in the number of elegant buildings erected here readily accounts for the improvement in carpentry. When a man builds a fine house he demands high class work, and in order to have a high class job first class mechanics must be employed

The news of the accident soon spread
and all day Sunday people fiocked from
all sections to witness the wreck.
Many were the rumors circulated as to
the cause of the accident.
Reports are in circulation that Mr..
Alfred Almetia, operator at Emporium
junction, made the fatal error Mr..
Meta maintains strict silence, no doubt
believing that time will place the res
possibility. Mr. Almetia viewed the
wreck and no one feels worse and de-
plores the awful accident more than
he does. He was not arrested, and
while still in the employ of the COM
pany, he is taking vacation, remain
ing in Emporium. Our people all speak
well of him and deplore the fact that
his position has placed him in position
to be so bitterly assailed. AT the proper
time, no doubt, the responsibility will
be placed upon proper person or per-
sons.

Farmers in this section are not worry
ing about the rise in the price of coal
nor are they looking we'll to their wood
piles. They are sure the winter is going
to be mild and that precautions against
extreme cold will be unnecessary.
These predictions are based on the fact
that the hornets are building their
nests close to the ground. Old farmers
say this is a sure sign ola warm winter
with little or no snow. When the nests
are built on trees up close to the trunks,
then the winter will be rough one and
there will be plenty of Wells

That advertising in the newspapers
has become essential to success in most
enterprises appears from many indica-

writing advertisement for the news
papers. One of the older and most

it expedient to establish department
for the training of ''ad'' writer's. 1t is
only question of time when every
