soUTHERN's GIANT FREIGHTERs
New Engines Pull Forty.five Cars
With Great Ease.
Greenville News:

Pulling forty-five cars, nearly all
loaded, with ease, and running as
regularly and smoothly as an engine
that had been In use for months,
No. IA. one of the great steel mon
sters recently secured for this di-
vision by the Southern to handle
the heavy freight traffic, steamed out
Of Greenville at 4.3O o'clock yester-
day afternoon foi Atlanta. Engineer
F. w. Wolfe was at the throttle.
No. ia made its first trip Friday
night when 1t hauled a short train
under slow speed from Atlanta to
Greenville. arriving here about mid
night. Wolfe brought the big loco
motive, the largest ever operated on
this division, and as large as any In
it's initial trip, which was made
without the slightest mishap or de-
"She is a beauty" said the en-
gineer. as he was seated In his cab
yesterday afternoon waiting for
leaving orders on the return trip.
II have never met with an engine
that behaved better. You know, as
a rule a new engine gives a lot OF
trouble, gets hot all over, and does
all kinds Of mean things, but there
was nothing of the sort with No. TIA
last night. She ran like veteran,
and while her springs are little
stiff as yet, she was as steady as a
rock. We were careful, OF course,
and logged along because 1t is
dangerous to run even a new street
car at high speed much less a giant
locomotive They have to get
limbered up, you know"
No. ia was a magnificent sight
as 1t waited with steam up In the
round house. Compared With big
stationary engines and those used In
modern battleships and ocean grey
hounds, it might not have seemed
large, put there Is something so COM
pact, so symmetrical and altogether
powerful about a locomotive that
1t draws admiration above all other
machinery, and towering above the
great engines that have made the
Southern famous, No. TIA was in
spected and praised by engineers,
hostlers, fireman and everybody else
that saw it in the yards yesterday.
With the exception Of the design Of
the fire box the new locomotive,
which is made solely for handling
freight, does not vary materially
from the others used by the South
ern. 1t Is simply a great deal larger
at every point. The boiler, which
was measured by Roundhouse Fore
man Walden, Is "a inches larger In
diameter and in circumference ap-
pears even greater. The locomotive
is two feet higher over all than those
which approach 1t nearest In size,
and in order to prevent any danger

tions or talk any more at all about this
subject. When you are ready to sign

But. father, don't you understand"
her voice was 50 serious that Mr.. Har-
Ian looked up suddenly as she hesi-
tated-"don't you understand. dear.
that I shall not sign"
do you mean to say"
"T mean I cannot take responsibility
without knowing what my proxy is to
do, and why he is to do It,"
"Then you can get your information
from-from any one in whom you have
more confidence than you have In
me!"
Mr.. Harlan rose as he spoke. and
swung out of the room without another
word.

even a bubble of excitement. and the
noisy streams rushed by without the
slightest cessation.
1t did not seem possible, and yet 1t
must be. They would not dare to pub
lish such thing about famous COM
pany like that unless II were true.
This was. perhaps, the reason Of her
fathers silence and irritation Of the
previous evening. He had been anx-
ious and in trouble. and she had wor-
ried him with idle questions and pos
sibly frustrated some plan by her blind
obstinacy. And he had kept silence
rather than urge her against her will!
All her doubts and fears faded away.
She turned without another thought.
and flew rather than walked to Mr..
Harlan's Office in the Consolidated
building.
dad, dear!" she exclaimed, as the
door Of the private room closed be-
hind her, 'I've-I'ye just heard about
the-the company. Why didn't you
tell me? didn't understand or
wouldn't have bothered you last night.
Please, please forgive me- Here. give
me q pen"
She seized one as she spoke, took
the proxy from her purse and rapidly
signed her name.
Opposite the seal? There! hope
it's not too late. Now kiss me and
say you'll never speak to me again as
you did last night"
And then, as her father kissed her,
