The Prob en- In Launching y Ship.

Impressive as the luunCn OF xreI1
vessel always is, it nevertheless seems
simple matter All there is to do is t
build two toboggan slides under the
ship, raise her from the supports Or
which she has been resting, put lot of
tallow Oh the slides, aud, when you are
ready, saw loose the thick plank that
holds the ship by the pose and let nel
glide into the water. You mast have
the wine to christen he1, and crowd
to cheer her, and some tugs to catch he,
and bring her back to her pier; but all
these are mere details, and it would
seem as if any ship could almost launcl'
herself if she had half a chance.
A ]auGch is simply taking ship from.
the side Of a stream down to tue bank
and dropping her in The water where
= she belongs. This Involves the task of
!: lifting mass of iron; in a ship like
the St. Louis, Of about 1000 tons. aud
the work OF lowering it carefully for a
distance of from 20 to 40 feet. All this
i1as to be done in the space of about 80
seconds, during which the vessel moves
nearly 600 feet. At once you can see
that this is an enormous task. It in
wolves sthe greatest responsibility in a
short time that the shipbuilder meets.
There is; no opportunity to correct er,
rors. Every mechanical appliance must
work to perfection. and the manual de-
tails must be, as nicely adjusted as the
parts Of svatci,. Yop Can launch YES.

A Compliment to Van SAINT.

Authoritative announcement that Van
SAINT will stump the state for Cole. 1T
is hard enough to carry Van SAINT him

He is arranging a route from Blackjack

allowed along. He will possibly shcw
up in time to vote. It not, it will make
no difference.-St. Paul Review.

the north country folks will feel hurt by
his travesty on wit he is on the wrong
trail. They are too large IN every re-
spect TO be ridiculed by blazoned
trousered knight of the Cheroot order.
If the state central committee has Van

renovating trot them up into the pr1-
mitive forests where they will come in

turns came in.-Send them along. This

RUN OVER BY A WAGON.
Nr. III. A. McShan, "a Local Carpenter,
Run Over by Heavy Wagon
and Seriously Hurt

Mr.. H. A. McShan, a we'll known
local carpenter, was on last Wednes-
day the victim of a serious and very
painful accident. Mr. McShan, who
has recently been doing some work
for Mr.. w. G.. Evans on his planta-
tion a few miles west of this city, was
on Wednesday riding to the scene
of his work on a wagon heavily load
ed with cement, fell off, and was run
over by the wagon, the wheels having
passed over his head and one of his
shoulders. He was seriously hurt,
his injuries having been exceedingly
painful.
DR.. w. c. Brewer was summoned
by telephone, and after having ex-
amined and dressed Mr.. McShans
wounds had him brought to his home
in this city. The patient is now do
ing as well as could be expected, but
it will probably be several weeks be-
fore he will entirely recover from the
effects of the accident.

THE STRIKE on THE SOUTHERN
FINALLY SETTLED.
to Resume Work - The
Wages Offered Prior to the
Strike Are to Obtain.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The strike
of machinists on the Southern Rail-
way, which was inaugurated recently
for an increase in wages, was settled
today. The strike was declared off
and the men will return to work On
Monday without prejudice on account
of the strike.
The men who remained with the
company are to continue at work.
Those who have been employed since
the strike will be retired from the
shops before Monday morning, but
without prejudice as to their contin-
ued employment by the company in
other places or as to their future
employment in the shops, if needed.
The wages offered to the machin-
lists prior to the strike are to apply
from November 5, and the company s
proposition to arbitrate the differ
ences between that scale and the de-
mand of the union has been accepted.
This adjustment took place at a
conference in New York between the
members of the National Civic Fed
Grafton, the officers of the Southern
Railway Company, the president of
the International Association of Ma
chinists, and the local committee of
Southern Railway machinists.

the fact that summer cars are still
being used, and riding in open cars
is not very pleasant at this season OF
the year. The Dispatch is informed
by officials of the company that an
order for four closed cars was plac-
ed nearly month ago, but there has
been some delay in shipping them
out, and as consequence both the
company and its patrons have suf-
fered. 1t is understood that the cars
were shipped last week and that they
are expected to arrive within a few
days. awu

The line of railroad which | have
been assigned to operate commences
in the State of Alabama and extends
to Greenville, Miss, on the banks OF
the Mississippi river. In turning this
part of the line over to me to operate,
Mr.. Spencer desires to have the inn
mediate management nearer to the
patrons and people living along the
line. 1t is for the purpose of afford
ing to the patrons of this portion of
the road who may have complaints,
facilities for taking up such COM
plants and having same promptly
and fairly adjusted.
ITO my personal knowledge the
controlling factor which Influenced
Mr.. Spencer in putting this line un-
der my jurisdiction was that by rea-
son of my long official connection
with the Mobile & Ohio r. r. Com
pany | had been brought into close
contact and personal touch with the
people of the State of Mississippi, and
the people being satisfied with my
methods of railroad administration
Mr.. Spencer made the appointment
as a compliment to them. | know,
Mr.. Spencer is of the opinion that
this appointment will be pleasing to
the people of Mississippi. / trust his
opinion in this respect will be justi-
fed by the hearty support of the pa
irons and persons living along the
line of this railroad. 1t will be a
personal disappointment to me if my
friends in Mississippi do not receive
my appointment in this spirit.
In the mana cement of this prop
erty we will make every effort to i'm
prove the service and so operate the
trains as to afford comfort and safety
to passengers and a speedy delivery
of all freight placed in our hands to
handle. We invite any citizen, hav-
ing grounds for complaint, to write
to either Mr.. r. V. Taylor, general
or myself, and set forth
the cause of the grievance. We prom
ise to take up, in the broadest spirit
of fairness, and speedily adjust such
complaint. / appeal to the patrons
and people to give their hearty and

THE OFFICIALS HERE
MEN HERE WHO ARE TO HAVE
CHARGE OF SOUTHERN RY.
BETWEEN THIS CITY
AND GREENVILLE.
Arrived on Special Train at 9 O'clock
Thursday Morning, and After
Looking Over Columbus
Left for Greenyille.

A large party of high officials OF
| Southern Railway were in the city
Thursday, and during their stay were
entertained by delegation of prom
inent citizens. The party arrived in
the city on a special train over the
NJ. & O at six O'Clock Thursday morn
ing, and after having spent several
hours here left at ten o'clock over the
Southern for Greenville. During
their short stay in Columbus the Off
cials spent their time calling upon
the leading merchants and business
men of the city. Their stay here was
SO limited that there was no time to
discuss the present change and the
policy of the new mana cement, but
| below Col. Russell gives in detail the
reason for the change and the policy
which he will follow in the manage
ment of the newly created division.
The party which was here Thurs
day included Col. E. L. Russell, vice
president of the Mobile & Ohio, and
the following officials of that line:
H. NJ Beall, general passenger agent;
r. v Taylor, general manager; H.
Miller, freight traffic manager; H.
w. Clarke, superintendent of trans
portation; Jordon Boone, division
counsel The Southern Railway Off
cials included in the party were ].
S. B. Thompson, general agent: F.
p. Pelter, assistant superintendent
of the Greenville division, and ]. l..
Cox, general freight agent of the
same division. The last named Off
Gals have headquarters in this city,
but went to Mobile for a conference
xsfth Col. Russell Tuesday, and came
up with the party on the special
train Thursday.
The newly created division is to
in Mississippi, and the following APP
pointments have been announced by
Vice-President Russell and approved
by President Samuel Spencer: A. H.
Plant, comptroller, Washington, d.
c.; H. G.. Ansley, treasurer, Wash
ington, D. c.; w. S. Cooke, auditor,
Mobile, Ala: Henry Tacon, assist
ant auditor, Mobile, Ala; r. V. Tay-
lor, general manager, Mobile, Ala
While no official announcement re-
garding the officials who have head
quarters here has been received, it is
understood that Mr.. F. P. Pelter will
remain here as superintendent and
Mr.. J. L. Cox as general freight agent
of the new division.
When the rumor of the change first
gained publicity, it seemed to be gen
orally understood that the Montgom-
cry division of the Mobile & Ohio
and the Greenville division of the
Southern would be operated conjoint-
ly, and with through trains between
Montgomery and GreenviIle. From
the following interview with Colonel
Russell, however, it will be seen that
the two lines are to be operated en-
tirely Independent of each other
Regarding the creation of the new
division and his appointment as vice
president and general manager, Col
Russell said:
