EVERY RAIL is INSPECTED
Southern Railway Has I~nauaurated
Rigid System For Prevention Of
Accidents.

Notwithstanding of the meth.
DDS by which every rail in the South
ern Railways 1905 miles Of track is
annually subjected to the closest in
spection are given in the March issue
of the Southern News Bulletin in an
article telling of the steps which the
Southern has taken to prevent de-
railments resulting from broken rails.
The system Of inspection which was
adopted over two years ago is be-
lieved the most rigid and effective
possible. The work Is under the d.
rection of the district engineers and
division roadmasters and is done by
the track supervisors and section fore
men who closely. scrutinize each and
every rail to detect the slightest dis
coverable tendency toward weakness
or failure and wherever such are
found the rail is Immediately remov-
ed. Detailed reports are made on each
rail left in the track so that compari-
son can be made at the next years
inspection.
The management Of the Southern
Railway feels that this rigid inspee.
ton of every rail over which its traf-
fc moves embodies every possible
step toward the prevention Of rail fail
ures, a feature of railway operation to
WHICH the officials Of leading Ameri-
can railways have been giving the
closest study during the past few
years.

USED BY THE SCANDINAVIANS
Nautical Terms. Common Today Are
Easily Traced to the Days Of
tho Old Vikings.

When we say a ship Is bound for a
certain port or homeward bound. we
are using, not the past particle, as
we might think, of the English verb to
bind, but of a Scandinavian word
meaning to prepare, to get ready-a
word which in the form of "boun" still
lives on in northern dialects.
"Billow" is probably a Scandinavian
word which survived in n of the
northern or eastern dialects, which
still preserve so many Danish words
1t made its way into southern English
in a literary standing by its use by
Spenser and Shakespeare.
wake" for the track of a ship is
another Scandinavian word preserved
in dialect. It's original meaning, as
Professor Skeat tells US, was that Of
an opening in the ice, especially the
passage cut for a ship In a frozen lake
or sea, and then, from being applied
20 the smooth watery track left by the
ship after its passage through tho Ice.

Historic Vessel In Fishing Fleet.

The sailing of the schooner Thomas
F. J.. Hewlett from Philadelphia for
southern fishing grounds recalls the
history of the vessel. The schooner,
once the Carmita, was used with the
schooner Wanderer during Civil war
times as a slave ship. She ran from
the West Indies to the United States.
During n Of her slave-carrying
voyages, the Carmita was fired upon
and captured off Charleston, S. c., by
a United States government vessel. A
short time afterward the Wanderer
met the same fate. Both vessels were
taken to Charleston and offered for
sale by the government, and the pres
ent owners bought the vessels.
The Carmita was rebuilt in 1910 st

She could feel the admiration in his

Well, what do you think Of that!
You're-very different-why, you were
a little girl last time l saw you!" He
pulled Wallace forward by the arm.
This is my friend, Mr.. Wallace. Bob,
this is the judges daughter. Miss

Now, she could see her old friends
friend more clearly. Instantly she de-
cided that he was the handsomest OF
living men. She had been genuinely
glad to see Broadway. Now, immedi-
ately, she forgot that he existed.

claimed and fed into the night.
"By heck, Broadway" Wallace COM
mented. There's a pretty country girl!
I didn't know they did it in such detail

The Judge came to them with a
hearty h~andclasp. welcome to this

been a long time since you have seen
this room. Not changed much, Ell? We
don't change much in Jonesville." He
waved his hand toward Mrs. Spots

expectancy, but would not rise because
it seemed more elegant to remain seat
ed. Remember that LADY,"
Broadway hurried toward her. Il
should say I do! Hello, Mrs. Spots
wood; I'm awfully glad to see you
again."
Now she could rise with full pro-
priety, and did so, taking his hand cor
daily. well, we'll, Broadway; it
doesn't seem possible that it's you"
Smiling in an unfeigned Joy at seeing
him, she took him by the shoulders
and slowly turned him around for in
spection.

laughed. Nobody seemed to know me
in the streets, and l saw only n face
that I recognized" He brought Bob
up. "This is Mr.. Wallace, Mrs. Spots

She shook his friends hand heartily.
II want you to feel right at home. l
guess Broadway knows that all his
friends are our friends"
Wallace really was delighted by the
whole atmosphere Of simple welcome;
and those eyes Of Clara Spots

Broadway took the full charge
of the gum works and came
here to live, there would not be some
reason for a branch Office of the En-

explanation.

Exports Increase 400 Per Cent.

Charleston.-That the total of the
export and import business at Char
lesion for the month just closed
shows an increase over the total
amount of exports and imports for
February, 1913, Of more than 400 per
cent. is a statement which some will
doubtless feel like challenging at first
blush. The ancient adage that Gig
ures do not lie" is looked upon askance
nowadays, and, in fact, some of the
more modern thinkers have wrongly
banded the time worn statement as
false outright.
