Might Have Been Accidental.

j. j. Enlow informs The Her
aid that the family physician at
tending j. G. Enloe is of the
opinion that there is some doubt
as to whether Mr.. Enloe, whose
death was mentioned Monday,
swallowed poison Intentionally,
despite the fact that on the sur
face it looked like a plain case of
self destruction. The theory ad-
vanced by the physician was that
Mr.. Enloe was seized with a sud-
den attack of his trouble and
took a dose in the hope Of relief.
His pain was not diminished and
another dose was taken, and so
on until too much had entered
into the system. A similar oc-
currence once before adds to the
strength of this theory. This
occurred at home and physicians
were able to counteract the eff
feet of the drug. Rock Hill

Their Names on the Cab.

Southern Railway engineers
who have made exceptionally
good records in keeping their
locomotives in good condition are
to be hOnored by having their
names painted on the panels of
their cabs. In announcing this
new plan. Vice President and
General Manager E. III. Coapman
state that it has been adopted as
mark of Southern Railways
appreciation of the interest
which its engineers have taken
in the condition and appearance
of their locomotives. Southern
Railway practice is, as far as
possible, to allow each regular
engineer to have his Individual
locomotive. The engineers feel
great personal pride in the
appearance of their locomotives
and many of them have been
beautifully decorated in which
the company has cooperated with
the men. Under the new ar
rangement each engineer who
has run an individual locomotive
for a stated number of miles.
rated according to the class of
the engine, without going into
the shop for general overhauling,
will have his name placed on
the cab panel.

The Worlds Highest Habitation.

To many wonderful things that
exist in New York bit which to
the average New Yorker are
matters of commonplace interest,
is soon to be added an apartment
which will be higher than any
other habitation in the world.
This will be the home Cf Frank
w. Woolworth. who is going to
establish Il suite of rooms on the
45th floor of his great office struc-
ture. which towers to a height
Of 81 stories.
The eyrie in the clouds. for
such it will be. as the apartment
will br far removed from the
humdrum life OF the sidewalk
crowds. will unquestionably rank
as the rost desirable of the
city's thousands of desirable cost
ly housing accommodations. Sit
uated 700 feet above the level of
the sidewalk, higher than all but
few of the really taller build
ings, the Woolworth apartment
will have unobstructed views of
all the city, and as for light and
air, no other suite extant will
equal it's facilities. Moreover,
these matters may be considered
as being permanent for the prob
ability of any obstructing build
ing is very remote.
The tower sections of the Wool
worth building, which occupies
the block front on Broadway be-
tween Barclay street and Park
Place, has an area of 8, 600 square
feet, of which about $500 feet,
the size of = standard city lot,
are avai' for use. the remain

resting place during business
hours, but its establishment will
direct the thought of persons in
terested in matters pertaining to
office buildings to specializing
that it may solve the problem of
unrented spaces in tall buildings
which could be adapted for sim
liar purposes when they fail to
rent for the business as original
ly intended.

County's Taxable Values.

The books of County Treasurer
Neil show that the taxable value
OF all property in the county in
1913 was So. 200, 12O, an increase
over the previous year of 1925, :
359, despite the fact that no new
assessment was made. This
represented the increase in busi-
ness in the county. Of this
amount 81, 4Gi, 155 represented
real estate. $3,661. AZ personal
property and SLOT, 4SS railroad
property.
For 1914 a new ass assment is
made and it is expected that
there will be a material increase
in the taxable values. How
ever, it will be some time before
the books are completed and an
accurate estimate of the increase
can be given. The books ale
now being prepared by Auditor
Love, but it will be fully a
couple of months before they are
completed and turned over to
the treasurer.

Mr.. W. F. Stevenson. candi-
date tor Congress. was the per-
son to have credit for the COM
pletion of our State house. The
advocates of the bill providing
for that were beaten by the
economists because it would in
crease taxes. He came forward
with the proposition to let the
the State borrow money from
the Sinking Fund commission
and repay it at SIS, 200 a year.
Build it and pay for it on the in
stallment plan.
The News & Courier, referring
to the apparent defeat of the
measure, says, But Mr.. Steven
son came to the rescue. He
showed that the Sinking Fund
commission had nearly 5000, OOO
in a bank drawing four per cent.
interest. Why not lend this
amount to the State at the same
rate and let the State treasury
refund it at the rate of SIS, 900 a
year. This would not increase
the levy of the State and would
not hurt the appropriations to
the other causes. The sugges-
ton was adopted by both hous-
es, y and the act passed in that
form and we got our State house
completed, which had been stand
ing half finished. unsightly and
almost uninhabitable from 1864
to 1899.
So one seemed to think of the
fact that this could be done.
Originality! initiative! is the
thing of first Importance in leg
islation. He seems to have it.
hence his name is linked with
the history of the State for Is
years. Don't we need the same
ability and power in the highest
degree in Washington? Give it
trial. In the language of the
medical world, take a trial
dose" If not satisfactory it
will last only two years.
