be obliged to him. The privilege of
sitting on the rear platform was de-
sired and in passing through the
train | would thank him to point
out any places or objects of interest,
without putting himself to extra
trouble. Assuring me that it would
be bis pleasure to do what he could
to make the trip as pleasant and
satisfactory as possible Capt. Good
win that was our conductors name)
said there was nothing of particular
interest to be seen until after passing
Altapass and then he would bear my
request in mind
Sitting across the aisle from us was
a gentleman OF friendly countenance
and pleasing address who begged to
be excused for "butting in'' but he
had overheard what | said and with
our permission he would be pleased
to act in the capacity OF guide as
he was acquainted with the country
and was going all the way through.
He helped to build the road, knew
every mile OF it, was familiar with
the difficult problems that had to be
solved in the construction, the cuts
and fills made, tunnels bored through
the mountains, the scenery, &c. This
gentleman was MIR. J. G. Lipscomb,
of Gaffnev, S. c., and the feeling Of
friends meeting seemed to be mutual
when introductiOns were made. Mr..
Lipscomb is a member of the firm Of
Lipsc6mb Brothers, merchants, of
Gaffney, and was a contractor in the
construction work OF the Clinchfield
railroad handling several large jobs
or sections through the widest and
toughest part of the mountains.
There was no letting of mules down
the mountains seven hundred feet in
cages as on the East Tennessee &
Western North Carolina Railroad
about which | wrote last week, but
the getting in of heavy machinery
and material, around and over the
mountains, shaking" it long dis
tances down the steep and rugged
mountain sides to position for use
in drilling, blasting, excavating, and
hauling was no less a monumental
and wonderful achievement. Mr..
Lipseomb is now engaged in railroad
construction work in West Virginia,
and it is Interesting to hear him talk
about his experiences in this line, al
ways modestly, never boastingly.
When our train reached Erwin
short distance this side of Johnson
City "dead" Pullman car was taken
on to be sent through to Atlanta.
When | went out and saw what was
done | thought that settled the mat
ter for us as far as rear platform OBJ
servation was concerned. We would
have to be content at viewing things
from the car windows and run the
risk OF getting "cricks" in our necks
trying to look straight up the steep
mountain sides at the towering tops.
The platform gate was closed and
the door locked | supposed. But not
so, what appeared to be our undoing
really worked to our advantage Mr..
Lipscomb said he thought matters
would he arranged satisfactorily and
when Capt. Goodwin came in and
Commanded" us to transfer our be-
longings to the other coach the trick
was turned. Seats were provided and
we settled down on a sightseeing trip
such as is afforded by few railroad
routes in this country.
AS it turned out we not only had
the rear platform but a whole Pull
man car (private special as it were)

Poor Old Comet Blamed.

Although it has withdrawn itself
millions OF miles into inter-planetary

How a Juror Was Lost.

In Southern Missouri years ago,
when the form of questioning was
slightly different from whatit is now,
much trouble was experienced in get
ting a jury in a muder trial. Finally
an old fellow answered every question
satisfactorily; he had no preiudices,
was not opposed to capital punish
ment, and was generally a valuable
find. Then the prosecutor said sol:
emnly:
"Juror, look upon the prisoner;
prisoner, look upon the juror"
The old man adjusted his specta-
cles and peered at the prisoner for a
full half a minute. Then turning to
the court, he said:
"Judge, durn if don't believe he's
guilty. ."-Ex.

Baby Drowned In Water Bucket.

Mamie, the 13-mcnths-old daugh-
ter OF Mr.. and Mrs. j. o. Fulp, OF
Salem, was drowned last
week in a bucket partly filled with
water. The child had been left in
the care of Verna, a 14-year-old sis

across the street to neighbor's, leav
ing Mamie and the other children
playing about the house. Returning,
Verna called "Mamie" and soon saw
her tiny feet protruding from the
bucket, limp and lifeless. The little
one crawled to the back porch and

make the trip without guide. The
