Little did the friends of Mr.. R.
J. Johnson think when he last
visited Edgefeld several weeks
ago that in such a short space of
time b. would be numbered
among the dead. Accompanied by
his daughter, Mrs. Frank West,
and step-son, Mr.. B. F. Glanton,
he went to the Hopkins hospital
in Baltimore about a fortnight ago
to submit to q surgical operation.
The operation was performed, and
apparently Mr.. Johnson was doing
well, but blood poison set in
and be suffered intensely until
death brought relief or Sunday
last. His remains, accompanied
by Mrs. West and Mr.. Glanton,
reached Edge6eld on Monday
night. The interment will take
place at Antioch church to-day,
Tuesday.
Frequently since the news of
his death reached Edgefeld have
we heard this and similar re-
marks: "Ru5e Johnson will be
greatly missed in his community
Mr.. Johnson was q good business
man and,.having accumulated con-
siderable property, he aided many
who were in need Of financial aid.
Possessing sound judgment, his
advice was frequently sought by
many who lived in the vicinity of
his home. Mr.. Johnson is survived
by a devoted wife and two. daugh-
ters.

RAILWAY MOTOR TALK.
Il. n. Anderson Gives Interesting
Address Before Electrical Engi-
neers.

E. II. Anderson, railway motor
designer of the General Electric
Company talked to the schenec-
tsdy Branch of the American In
stitute of Electrical Engineers in
the High School Auditorium last
night. His remarks were of a
purely technical nature. He dis
cussed the curves and calculation
of railway motors and described
the method of getting at the re-
quirements of a motor from. plans
of a new road. His talk covered
the considerations by which mo-
tors. are selected.
He described contest between
the engineers of the General
Electric Company and the ex-
perts of tee Westinghouse Elec-
trical Company with two cars
equipped with motors of the two
rival designs, the outcome OF
which would determine which
company should get the contract
for 1900 motors for use on New
York railroads, which amounted
to several million dollars worth
of equipment. He told that it was
by the methods which he was lay
ing before the meeting that the
General Electric Company waa
successful in the competition.
In order to demonstrate his
theories more clearly, Mr.. Ander-
sou used charts. After the meet
ing had adjourned Mr.. Anderson
stayed to answer questions. The
extreme cold made the attend
ance small.

The senate passed bill making the

towns Of 1000 and over $4,000; in
