EXCITEMENT IN GREENVILLE.
Mob OF Nearly Three Hundred Scours
Woods for Negro.

Greenville. June ga mob OF
from 200 to 800 men, determined on
lynchipg, have all today and tonight
been securing the woods In the neigh
borhood Of Piedmont in search of
Bunk Sherrard, a negro, who this
morning about daybreak shot E. E.
Waldrop, a special officer, who with
three others went to Piedmont to ar
rest Sherrard and other negroes who
were engaged in gambling there.
On the approach Of the officers,
Sherrard took a single barreled shot
gun and fired it's load in Waldrop's
left side, the wound proving fatal in
about three hours thereafter. The
negro made his escape to the woods.
A crowd quickly gathered and up
to late tonight they were still eagerly
searching the woods for the negro
with the intention Of putting a speedy
termination to his life.
The other negroes were captured
but were released to join in the hunt
and identification Of Sherrard.

REV. j. p. MARION's SERMON.
Brief Extract From q FOrccful Ser

Rev. j. p. Marion preached a very
interesting and forceful sermon Sun

Christian Association. He spoke in
part as follows:
For he that Is not against Ms Is on
our part" Mark s:4O. Jesus had
just come down from the mountain
of communion. He found the dis
ciples disputing among themselves
who should be greatest In the king
dom. He tells them that service is
the measure Of greatness.
Jesus found the disciples Jealous
Of one who was casting out devils In
the Masters name and vt followed
not with them. The disciples over
Jealous for theiy Lords good name
forbade him. Jesus said FORBID him
not 80 For he that IL not against
Us Is on our part The grace Of God
is not bound 10y the visible church.
Some years ago there were many
good people opposed TO the work Of
the Y. N. c. A. because OF their }eal-
ousy for the honor Of the church. We
have learned that the organization is
not only mot against u.s. but for vs.
doing a work which the church can
not do.

all the man, his physical. social. men
tai and spiritual needs.

his muscles In a clean atmosphere; !;
he meets his fellows socially and finds
a club life free from evil influences;
he finds a chance to read the best
books and magazines; ne finds the
life Of the lone Man" held up as the
ideal and inspiration Of life.

THE BLOCK SYSTEM.
The Southern Railway Is RapidIy
Eqlhppip& Main Line With Safety
Devices

Atlanta, Ga, June 2S.-The bulle-
tin just issued by the Interstate Com
merce Commission, giving the mile
age Of railways in the United States
operated by the block system on jan
uary 1, 1910, shows that 2,080.1 miles
Of track on the Southern Railway,
constituting thirty per cent Of the en-
tire mileage Of the system, is now
equipped with this safety appliance.
Included in this are the entire main
line from Washington to Atlanta and
on to Birmingham. the line from
Bristol to Chattanooga. that from
Chattanooga to Atlanta and Macon,
and other important sections. In the
entire United States there are only
seven railway systems with a greater
mileage 20 operated than has the
Southern. No other railway in the
South operates anything like 20 large
a mileage with the block system.
The system in use on the Southern
Railway Is what h known as the
telegraph block" Suitable soma
phore signals are erected at intervals
Of about fvs miles along the road to
guide the engineman in the control
Of his train. The space between these
signals Is called a block and two pas
senger trains are under no circum-
stances permitted In a single block at
the same time.
The working Of this system may be
best explained by taking two block
stations, Gainesville, Ga, and Oak
wood, Ga, for example. A train ap-
proaches Gainesville bound for At
lanta. The operator at Gainesville
asks the operator at Oakwod IL he
can have the block for the approach
ing train.
II there are no trains between
Gainesville and Oakwood the opera
tor gives the required permission and
both operators make a record Of the
time, train number, etc. The operator
at Gainesville then clears the signal
by pulling it down to an angle Of
about sixty degrees below horizontal
after the train comes in sight. That
is called clearing" the signal and is
done after the train comes into sight
to assure the engineer that the sig
nal is cleared for him and he will not
proceed into the block unless he sees
1t go clear. This assures him that
he Is not taking a signal given a pre-
ceeding train. AS soon as the train
passes the signal the operator returns
the signal to a horizontal position, this
indicates danger, stop, and 1t remains
in this position as long as the train
is in the block. 1t will be noted that
two men, one at each end Of the
block, must cooperate to allow a
train to enter, this provides a check
which effectually prevents mistakes,
1t being unlikely that two men would
make the same mistake at the same
time.
To install this system has necessi-
tated the employment of a large
number Of additional telegraph opera
tors and the expenditure Of a large
amount Of money for line wire sig
nals ETC., but the officials Of the
Southern Railway believe that the ex-
penditure Is warranted because Of
the safety it affords their patrons
from accidents due to collisions

shop: when he wasn't masticating his
books, he was monkeying with the
buzz-saw. At fifteen he had invented
and made rotary engine. One day
the notion struck him that he'd like
to help Uncle Sam out in the navy.
So he took a shot at the examinations
and scored hit, landing a job as a.
sistant engineer. Before he reported
for duty the Civil war had broken out.
He enlisted in the Twelfth New York
National Guard, re-enlisted later in
the cavalry. and finally turned up on
the high seas as an engineer on the
gunboats Muscoota and the Stars and
Stripes.
After Gettysburg was fought and
won. his thirst for more education
landed him in Union college. Two
years there were enough for him. The
magic of machinery called him away
from the academic life. and he found
happiness again by taking up his old
work in his fathers factory. 1t was
while working there that he invented
the air brake. Railroad managers who
first jeered at his idea of stopping
train with wind" had to eat humble
crow. In a short time the invention
was in universal use and had revo-
lutionized railroading, as locomotives
could be constructed that would travel
at high rate of speed, SO long as
they had that little lever in the cab
which by a single turn of the en-
gineer's wrists would bring the train
to a standstill in half its length. In
the United States all railroads are
compelled bJ law to use the device,
and this was adopted by congress
and everywhere around the great
curve Of the world the whistle of
Westinghouse" air brake is heard.
His first prominence in electricity
came with his purchase from Gaulard
& Gibbs Of alternating electric cur.
rent patents. This was in 1885, and
he met great opposition from public
sentiment in trying to perfect and in.
troduce this system for lighting and
power making. At the time of the
Chicago worlds fair in 1893 he re-.
ceived the contract for lighting by
making a bid Of $1.O0O,0OO under
others His shop in Pittsburg soon
became the place where electrical ex.
perts of the world gathered. Tesla
went there and received Westine
houses financial and practical help in
developing the induction motor.

restrictions being placed upon his

prison life is considered. the danger OF
infection becomes greater than in the
general population. New York and
Massachusetts are the only states
where any systematic attempt has
been made to transfer all tuberculous
prisoners to one central institution.
The largest prison tuberculosis hospi-
tai is in Manila. where accommoda-
tions for 200 prisoners are provided.
The next largest is Clinton prison hos
