 Though Hans Wagner Is considered 1 one of the greatest batsmen the gam, 1 has ever known, Mordecai Brown, tn, i cubs star pitcher, who agrees tha l the big Duchman was the most danger ous man he ever faced, nevertheless says that Hans has a weakness. But according to Brown, this does not de velop until you have two strikes oi ] him, when he says the pitcher can keol the ball either in or outside, just t,Ine high or low, so that 1t can't b l hit because he would never take an, chances of having the umpire call hin out on strikes.
 The tip that Brown gives s all wei and good, but the fact of the matte ls that most pitchers have found | difficult to get him Into the position where his weakness would become ap parent Getting two strikes on Wagne has never been an easy matter, am Brown, like the rest, has probabl lound 1t so.

Revival Services.
]. l. Stamper,
Auctioneer.

Revival services will begin at the
Methodist Episcopal, church next
Sunday morning Jam, grid. The
public is kindly invited to attend
these meetings. The meetings will
be under the leadership of the pas
tor and we trust that he and all may
be led by the great leader of all
Christian work. We wish to say
in this connection that it is our de-
sire to help and build up the church
that We serve bpt this is not, or will
not be the supreme purpose of the
meeting. The supreme purpose
vii be to get men who have lost
their way, back to a good life and
then leave their will free to unite
with the church of their choice
This invitation IS not ment to re
fleet in any way on those who persue
uiiLClCul IlCtHOUS III lCvlFdI Wi
but we believe that an understand
ing of this kind will form a basis
for unity and freedom in the work
of salvation that perhaps cannot
other wise be obtained. If the good
Lord should save children of fam
| lilies of another faith and order they
will be advised and instructed to
unite with the church of their par
ents, we believe this is fair. There
is this to be said also, that there is a
| difference in churches or Christian
organizations in their methods OF
work and minor belief, but in the
essential faith there is not as much
difference as many are led to believe.
iChurch organizations will be judged
/ by the fruit that men think they
bear and no church will ever get
away from this fact. When men
reach more perfect knowledge OF
these things they will judge church
by the men and women it produces
after the Ch.lst likeness.

New Blocking System

The following article taken from
the Natchez, Miss, Democrat will
be of interest to everyone sit is an
invention in which everyone who
travels is interested. Mr.. Dalgarn
is a brother of G. w. Dalgarn and
Miss Etna Dalgarn and the eldest
son of Mrs. M. L. Dalgarn of this
city:
s'L. M. DaIgarn, civil engineered
this city and well known throughout
Louisiana, has prepared description
of the electrical blocking system de-
vised by J. D. Dix of Ferriday, La.
in which Mr.. Dalgarn holds halt
interest, and will forward same to
the Block Signal and Control Board
of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. The description is pre-
pared in answer to a series of inter
rogations propounced in letter
from Mr.. W. P. Barland, secretary
of the Board.
The device is an electrical auto
matte blocking system for prevent
ing head-on, rear end or crossing
collisions by a dynamo or small
battery on one engine to motor cur
rent from another engine. Two
small wires are strung on rests four
inches above the ties and six inches
from rails. Dynamos or batteries
produce the current which is com
municated by wire to two small
trolleys attached under the rim of
the cow-catcher and wired SO as to
convey the current to a small motor
IN cab of engine which operates a
rotary valve and admits steam to a
circular cylinder. This circular
cylinder shuts off the steam and
also admits steam to the valve, re-
leases the air and supplies the
brakes, also flashing a light and
steam blows whistle until all is
righted.
The track is wired in blocks of
safe distance on main lines and sid
ings, also at crossings, with dyna-
mos or batteries on each engine so
wired as to convey currents TO troll
legs, and as two engines enter upon
same block, the current is conveyed
to each engine. When this is done
the current flashes the light and puts
a small motor IN motion. This
motor operates the rotary valve and
admits steam to the circular C cylinder
which shuts off the steam from the
engine cylinder and also admits
steam to valve which releases the
air and applies the brakes. The
steam admitted to the circular
cylinder blows a small whistle until
all is right again.
In his statment accompanying the
description, Mr.. Dalgarn says:
"Ihe engineer can be asleep,
drunk or dead and no two engines
can possibly get together on the
main line, siding or crossings and
engineers cannot overlook anything
in connection with it on account of
being excited from any cause, as il
will set itself automaticly The
machinery will all be in the cab in
reach of the engineer and right I'M
der his eyes. There is nothing COM
/ pllcated about the system and once
1.-The current IS picked up and the
smachlnery put in operation an in
Candescent la-hp is flashed in the
engineers face and there is a small
steam whistle that blows constantly
until all is righted and the engineer
is ready to proceed.
MIR. Dalgarn referred to the recent
collision at Little Woods, and said
that this accident would not have
happened if his device had been in
use at the particular place.
