The following is taken from that
publication:
"The Carolina, Clinchheld and Ohio
railway, according to a dispatch from
Spartanburg, S. G., ,'and Augusta, Ca,
has made an arrangement with the
Charleston and Eastern Carolina rail
road of the Atlantic Coast Line system
to send trains south of Spartanburg to
Augusta, and possibly to Charleston.
Other reports from the same points
said that the arrangement might be
with the Southern railway, but, ac-
cording to q dispatch received by the
Manufacturer Record from an officer
of the Clinchield road, il is not likely,
that definite arrangements have yet
been closed, as the telegram says;
mo information can be given re-
garding Clinchfeld railway plans in
either direction at the present time.
1.-THE words either direction refer to
concurrent report that, in addition ia
running trains south Of Spartanburg,
the company would also operate north
of Dante, Va, by an arrangement with
the Norfolk and Western railway, sc
that trains would be sent through tC
Cincinnati and other points in Ohio.
"The Clinchfield road will probably
be completed into Spartanburg, s. e.
by October or November, and construc
ton has already begun on the north
wardextensioAs from Dante to Elkhorl

HOW MASON AND
DIXON MADE THEIR
BOUNDARY BETWEEN Mp
Original Boundary Shut Quakers
off from Delaware Bay and
Survey was Carried Out.

Washington, Aug. 16.--The federal
government has seldom issued more
valuable and interesting document per-
tanning to the history and geography
of the country than the two bulletins,
just published, relating to the bounda-
ries of the states and territories and an
account of important changes. One of
the bulletins (No. 226) contains ex-
tracts from treaties affecting the boun-
daries; descriptions of the various ad-
ditions to United States territory from
the Louisiana Purchase down to the
accession of Tutuila and adjacent is
lands; sketch of the history of the
public domain, and details concerning
the boundaries of each state and terri
tory. 1t is illustrated by numerous
maps and historical diagrams.
Mason and DixOn Line.
Among the interesting details given
is the following account of the famous
Mason and DiNon line:
According to the original grants of
Pennsylvania and Maryland the boun-
Diary between them was to be the forti-
eth degree of north latitude. This line
being found to pass north of Phlladel-
phia and to exclude Pennsylvania and
Delaware Bay, negotiations ensued be-
tween the proprietors to rectify this
geographical blunder, and for nearly
century the matter remained unsettled.
"In 1872 an agreement was made to
fix the boundary. Commissioners were
appointed in that year, and subSe-
quently, in 1889, to run the line, but
they failed to agree, and chancery suits
resulted. Taking a decision of Lord
Chancellor Hardwick, in 1850, as the
basis of final adjudication, an agree
ment was signed July 4, 1850. BY this
agreement the line between Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland on the one part
and Maryland on the other was deter.
mined rs follows, viz:
"A, due east and west line should be
run across the peninsula from Cape
Henlopen to the Chesapeake Bay
From the exact middle of this line
should be drawn line tangent to the
western periphery of circle, having ;
radius of twelve English status miles
measured horizontally from the cente
of the town of Newcastle. From th'
tangent point line should be drawn
due north until it cut parallel of lati
tude fifteen miles due south of the mos
southern part of the city of Philadel
phia, this point of intersection to b
northeast corner of Maryland; theme
the line should run due west on SAT-
> parallel as far as it formed a bOundar,
between the two governments.

Enter the Famous Ones.

ain 1860 commissioners and survey
ors were appointed, who spent three
years in measuring the base line and
the tangent between Maryland and
Delaware. The proprietors then, wea-
ried with the delay, sent over from
England two famous mathematicians,
Charles Dixon and Jeremiah Mason,
who verified the work Of the predeces-
sors, and ran the line west between
Pennsylvania and Maryland, since
known as Mason and DiXon's line.
"Mason and Dixon fixed the latitude
of this line at 80 degrees, 43 minutes, Is
seconds. A resurvey in 1850 by Col.
Graham determined it to be 80 degrees,
43 minutes and 26.3 seconds.
"Mason and Dixon began their work
in 1853 and were stopped by Indians in
1867, having run the line about 244
miles west of the Delaware, not quite
finishing their work. They put W
milestoncs all along said line, every
fifth one being marked with the arms
of the respective proprietoFs.

with great satisfaction with our men at the
Grant Tunnel in Kenton county, KY.
have used it on the men suffering with
neuralgia, when the suffering seemed to be
excruciating, and the result was almost in
stantaneous relief. And used it on others
that were suffering with rheumatism, when
it seemed that they had almost lost the use
of their limbs on account of the pain and in
less than day they would go to work and
say that the pain had all gone. have esed
it myself with good results and keep it on
hand for my own use.
