First Observation Gar.


The Carolina Special Of the South
ern Railway had the first. observation
car on Tuesday morning which IT, has
yet carried. This addition was made
by the officials Of the road in re-
sponse to many demands for 1t. The
train is reported as being the most
popular one on the branch of. the
Southern which includes this section,
and its patronage iss large and ex-
elusive. The train now consists Of
one combination car. two first-ciass
coaches, one Pullman drawing room-
sleeper, dining and one Pullman OBJ
servation. car. One Of the latest in
novations in this fine train Is the

The tale of a negro bellmAn at a

half dozen States. Four men occu-
pied a room, according to the. negro,
and when he was summoned to bring
them liquid refreshments he saw
huge stacks Of bills distributed on

arrived the men had. disappeared,
but memorandums were found show
ing that various groups of figures, IN

No Small Pox Here,

: The statement that there was a
case OF small pox In this city is not
true. There is a case out at 3 Gypsy
camp near this city, but every pre-
caution Is being taken by the Board
of Health to prevent it from being
communicated to others. The camp
where the case has depeloped Is most
strictly guarded day and night, and
no one is allowed to visit 1t but the
attending physician and members of
the health department.

Should Be Vaccinated.

On account Of the close proximity
OF case Of small pox to this city
steps are being taken to vaccinate
the children attending the graded
school as an act Of precaution. All
children attending the school may
have to be vaccinated or show that
they have been vaccinated or leave
the school: This is the State; law
on the subject and all the children
should be vaccinated to prevent
them taking inc disease should they

DEATH OF MRS. JULIA sALLEE.
One Of orangeburg's Oldest Citizens
;s Passes Away.

y, X! rE syS ss &
IS After a long and. tedious Illness
Mrs. Julia 2. salley, re1tct 81 the late
DR.. Is. S. salley, passed quietly away
at the home Of her son, Mr.. D. J.
,salley, just beyond the icitySlilnits on
the; Belleville} Road, on. : Tuesday
morning, at the advanced age of
eighty-six years. Many relatives and
friends in all parts of this county
will; mourn the death Of this sainted
woman, who; has gone to join the
companion Of her long married life
in. that world where sorrow and
parting are not known.
q Mrs. salley before her marriage
was Miss Julia Murrow, and her
mother was "a Miss Granting, OF this
county. Her kinship has connection
with many Of the oldest and most
prominent families OF this county.
tits now recalled that the land now
owned BY St. Paul's Methodist con-
gregation Of this city and OIL which
stand the church buildings, was a
gift from the father: of Mrs. Salley
to the struggling hodists OF his
day. Fl; :
Mrs. Salley connected herself with
the Methodist church in early life
and has been consistent member
ever since. For years she had her
membership at st. Paul. She was a
bright and cheerful spirit, INDUCED
no despondant moods, and shed light
and inspiration wherever she. went.
As the wife Of physician, whose
sympathy for suffering humanity
caused himSto sacrifice much to re-
lieve distress in whatever form he
found 1t, she was content to be al
ways a; copartner in those sacrifices,
sharing with her husband whatever
Of sorrow ind of Joy came to them.
Mrs. salley leaves surviving her, be-
sides a number of grandchildren and
great grandchildren, five sons and
one daughter. as follows A.. Nc
Queen Salley, sheriff Of this county;
DR.. NJ. G. Salley, Julian A. Salley,
and D. j ..Salley, of Orangeburg and
q. J. salley, Of Texas, and Mrs.
James S. Hayward, OF Columbia.
Her funeral services took place at
three o'clock yesterday afternoon and
her remains were laid to rest in
Sunnyside cemetery beside her, be-
9oyed and lamented husband who
had preceded, her to the better land

RAILROAD DEVELOPMENT.

There's a legion that never was listed,
That bears no colors or crest,
But split in thousand detachments,
Is breaking the road for the rest.
s-KIPLING.
So might the public sing of the
pioneer railroad builders of the past
decade.
The last frontiers" are going, go
ing gradually-going before the ad-
vance of civilization or rather before
the advance of the pioneer railroads
that run ahead of modern civiliza-
ton. Looking over the pioneer rail-
road building of the past twenty
years, it is hard to find a country
that has not built, or is not build
ing. a railroad that was deemed i'm
possible to build fifty years ago.
South America, China, Africa. AS
ia and Alaska have all been invaded
by the hardy pioneer Soldiers OF For
tune in the shape of the railroad CIV
il engineers, that break through the
jungles and mountain passes, finding
a path for the Iron horse" to fol-
low on. afterwards.
The ambition of every good Mo-
hammedan is to betake himself from
the place he is living in and to make
one of the many million pilgrims that
annually visit Mecca; to walk seven
times around the Kaaba, at the same
time reciting brisions; to kiss the
black stone from the sacred waters OF
the ZemZen; also to make a num-
Der of trips to Mount Ararat and pay
tribute to the tomb of the prophet at
Medina. For hundreds of years this
has been going on; some of the pill
grims went on foot, some on horses,
some on camels. But today it is all
changed. The engineer came, and
now the pilgrim travels on rail-
road that runs from Damascus to
Mecca, and thence by the way OF
Medina to Jedda and. the Arabian
sea. This railroad is known as the
Hedjayz and was built by the Turkish
government with the sole aim to aid
the Mohammedans in their pilgrim
ages to Mecca. Freight trade is not
catered to at all.
Old Abdul Hamid was not "shin-
ing light" as the head of govern
ment but, to give the devil his due,
he gave generously from the civil
list towards the building of this road
and his subjects followed in their
rulers wake. For some time Abdul
Hamid tried to obtain infidel money
to build this road, but failing in that.
he turned the road over to the Turk
ish army. Officers and men threw
themselves into the task with. Won
derful ezal.
From an engineering point of view
the road was not hard to construct,
as there were no great bridges to put
in, or any very heavy cuts, but all
the same, it is one of the pioneer
roads of the world and one can trav-
ell through that country drawn by
engines made in the United States
and on steel rails that came from
Pittsburg.
When the Union and Central Paci-
fic Joined the Pacific coast with the
Atlantic coast years ago, it was the
first link of chain that has been
added to as years have gone on.
The progressive Latin-Americans
have always dreamed of having q
link or links like it, but until last
year their dream had never been
fulfilled. During last year an Eng
lish contracting company bored a
hole through the Andes mountains
connecting Chile with the Argentina,
this company cutting through cou-
pie of miles of rock and dirt, built
q tunnel that measures 10000 feet
long. 16 feet five inches wide and is

the world Is the Amazon River, with
its great feeders, the Mamore and
Madeira Rivers. These rivers form
natural outlet for the central parts
of Brazil, Bolivia and Peru. The area
drained by these rivers is equal to
about the size of Texas. The draw
back to these rivers as waterways
has been the cataracts around the
Mamore River, where in the past
everything had to be portrayed
around these cataracts Civil Engi-
neer George Earl Church was the
master mind in conceiving railroad
around these cataracts away back
in 1858, and the Brazilian govern
ment granted the first concession,
but the project was abandoned.
Again in 1878 a second effort was
made but lowland fevers and theusu-
al tropical diseases killed it, The
Belgian government, however, re-
manned loyal to the idea and at the
present time there are over $500
workmen employed. Of course the
increased knowledge of sanitation
and the means of immunizing work.
ers against tropical maladies are the
only things that prevent these pres
ent workers from suffering the fates
of the past ones, This road is about
200 miles long and is nearly all grad
ed and ready for steel. The construc-
ton of this road will remove one OF
the few remaining frontiers let.
This road also forms one of TIE feed
ers of the proposed Pan-American
railroad There is no difference in
the tropical jungles of today and
those of three decades ago, only med
ical knowledge has enabled man to
combat against disease that 80 years
ago, where the mortality was % per
cent, today only four whites have
died in the course of two years. ).
Since the building of the White
Pass and Yukon railroad it has been
shown that railroads could be built
in the extreme northern countries.
When Major Abercrombie first game
down the Copper River and made
known to the world what a wonder
full country lay in it's vale, but what
a rugged and rough country it was,
little did people think that in the
course of a few years there would
be railroad constructed there that
would overcome obstacles of nature
that seemed almost impossible, and
that gave an engineering feat to the
world that is almost unparalleled
in the previous history of railroad
building.
The story of the construction of
the Copper River & Northwestern
railroad has been written in nearly
all English speaking countries and
the engineering feats connected with
it. No where can one turn without
reading of pioneer road that is be-
ing built. Down where the river
Euphrates joins the Tigres, an Eng
lishman by the name of Sir William
Willcocks is building a railroad, Just
about the spot where the Garden
of Eden was located and the traveller
in the future will be able to ride in
a Pullman car.
Canada is going to build railroad
to Fort Churchill on the Hudson's
bay that will traverse as bleak a
region as is possible to conceive, but
it will shorten the distance from her
western provinces by 1000 miles to
Liverpool, and thereby bring the
great wheat market closer.
When the call goes forth for en-
gineer pioneers to go north of 53'
there will be no dearth of them.
There is no man that does more for
civilization than the pioneer civil en-
