other stock, and at the same
time many will write on the
varied uses Of the oil as a cook
ing fat, as. an edible and as a
household remedy.
The best: composition from
each of the schools throughout
the state Will be selected and
senty in to the committee of
judges. The award will be made

fore the first of that month.

The Quarry Railroad--Inspec-
ted and Accepted by Rail
road Commission.

Columbia State of Thursday :
Chairman B. l.. Caughman of the
railroad commission yesterday
his report of the in
spection of the Central Railway
of South Carolina. This road
runs from Heath Springs tc
Stonesboro, where there is large
quarry operated by the Heaths,
MIR. E ID. Blakeney and others,
and 1t is SAID that the finest stone
In the country is found at this
point. Mr.. S. w. Heath, who is
one of those in charge of the
quarry, has constructed house
with granite columns at least "a
feet in height. Before the con-
struction of the line the stone
was hauled seven miles to he
nearest station and shipped to all
points In the United States.
The following is the report by
Chairman Caughman: "In com.
pliance with the understanding of
the commission, | inspected the
Central Railway of South Caro-
lima on the 18th inst, going ou
on engine from Heath Springs
to Stonesboro, this line being
seven miles IN length.
81 find the engineering de-
partment of the road bed yery
good indeed, having no curvature
over six degrees and none of the
grades over Q per cent. With the
putting in OF some Is or 100 ties
and filling III Of the wide spaces,
L would recommend that per-
mission be given to operate this
road, but for the present and
some months to come, | recon-
mend they do not operate at a
speed over l5 miles per hour, on
account CT part CT the road bed
not having had sufficient time to
settle firmly and the winter
rains coming on, think it best to
run at cautious rate of speed.
"There is about four miles of
this track laid with so pound
rail, 60 pound on the other three
miles.
"lnasmuch as there is no busi-
ness to amount TO anything out
side OF the stone hauled by the
Slonesboro Quarry company,
recommend that the tariff sub
mitted by President Heath be
approved for the present at
least.
"All of which is respectfully
submitted"
