BIG SAND SHIPMENT

The l.. & N. railway is more than
filling. its contract with the contrac-
tors for the streets. of the city of
Richmond, since the shipments of sand
from Cincinnati, as we'll as from the
south, are coming in steadily, and
there has been no delay as q result
of this since the work has beer
started. The prompt unloading of the
cars, it is believed, is one thing ap-
preciated by the company and the re-
suit is good service upon its part.

ginning. So she hurried away 10 The
kitchen to interview old Dinah. Then,
while Dinah was making ready the
Zoe cake and Cindy was setting the
table, Betsy herself ran down the hill
to the springhouse for the milk and
butter. In a little while the simple
repast was ready and the guest were
bidden TO partake of it.
Betsy was pleased, as any hostess
would have been, to see how The
breakfast was enjoyed. Encouraged
by the kindness of the gentleman who
had promised that she would see Gen
eral Washington, she talked freely of
the great doings in town that day.
There was 10 be a grand reception
in the afternoon and ball at night
Her mother had the most beautiful
gown for the ball, and no doubt Ill
the other ladies had beautiful gowns.
But her father would wear his old
uniform. And then she told of how
her father honored and loved General
Washington and how he said he was
the greatest man and the best in all
the world.
And now the guests rose, and he
who had asked for the breakfast
thanked Betsy for it. "The milk you
gave me-" he said, "is the best l have
drunk for many day, and the hoe
cake is delicious. l thank you for
your kindness. l must now bid you
farewell and go on my Journey"
Farewell, sir" said Betsy, courte-
sying. "But when".-for now the
question would come-"when do l see
General Washington
She raised her eager eyes TO meet
those of the stranger who had given
her the promise. With kind smile,
he answered simply, 81 am General
Washington"
Like other wonderful things, it had
all come about very naturally. The
General was fatigued by his Journey
and knowing that he would have little
opportunity of rest during the day
left his party for a while and with
one attendant rode on horseback to
the Brandon house for some refresh
ment before going on to Salisbury, six
miles farther.
And so it came to pass that the
little girl in the North Carolina farm
house not only saw the great man
but entertained him at breakfast--St
Nicholas.

BETSY SAW WASHINGTON

1t was bright spring morning in
1871, and the sun shone as bright
over the Brandon plantation as it did
in the county town of Salisbury. Yet
little Miss Betsy Brandon, sitting
lonely and disconsolate on the piazza
Of the great plantation house, did not
think of the sunshine, for her
thoughts were in Salisbury and she
lOnged TO be there.
For not more than an hour ago all
the family had driven to the town TO
see General Washington, who was 70
be received there with great honor.
1t was a wonderful thing, this
southern tour of the General, now
President of the United States. He
had travelled in his family carriage all
the way down from Virginia, through
the Carolinas and Georgia, near the
coast of Savannah, and was now re-
turning through the cup country,
stopping at Augusta, Camden, Char
Iotte and other towns.
And now that he was coming TO
Salisbury, such grand things were to
be done! Captain John Baird, in-com-
mand of the Rowan light horse COM
pany, had gone to meet him at Char
lotte and escort him to Salisbury. Yet
Betsy must stay at home.
But every one had gone TO Sails
bury, for after awhile Betsy was sur
prised to see two gentlemen riding up
the avenue. On reaching the house
they dismounted and one, gentle
man of very grand and handsome ap-
pearance, bowed low to the little maid
and asked if she would be kind enough
to give breakfast to two tired way
farers.
Betsy courtesied in a pretty old
fashion and said that as all the grown
people had gone to town TO see Gen
eral Washington sshe was afraid the
breakfast might not be very nice, but
she would have something ready in a
little while and would they please be
seated on the piazza.
"I am a plain old man." said the
gentleman who had spoken, "and
want only a cup of milk and piece
of corn bread" The "plain old man.
was very dignifed and very courteous
and there was something in his bear
ing so noble that somehow his little
hostess felt that there was man fit
to stand with the greatest. 81 promise
you," he continued, "that you shall
see General Washington before any OF
your people do"
How that might be Betsy did not
know, nor. did she question, for there
was something about this unexpected
Aguest that won her trust from the be

Wind is Drying the Mud and Repairs
VIII Begin Soon

Residents of this section are glad TO
note that the drying wind of last
week has improved he condition of
the dirt roads. These roads have not
been fit for some time for loaded
teams and automobiles, due TO The
mud and water from the melting
snow. The bitches were choked and
the water made its way to the sur
face of the roads.
Farmers have been delayed in
their spring work by the soft condi-
tion of the earth which could not
be used by teams. Rural mail-car-
ners have been greatly delayed in
their work and extra carriers have
been employed to carry mails for the
longer distances. The attendance at
many public sales has been small, due
to the conditions of the roads.
Some of the stone roads have been
damaged by the freezing weather.
The ground beneath the roads was
frozen and when the thaw came the
surface of the tar was broken and the
large stones at the bottom of the
dressing worked to the Top. Local
road supervisors will begin as soon as
possible to make the necessary re-
pairs to the highways.

Nelson will have two planes for con- mercial purposes and will buy them from the government, having selected the latest model in army plane con- struction

heat or light, with a tempest raging. the passengers took their dlscom forts philosophicany. ItEwas impossible to even serve them with hot food, but the cooks did the best they could and the coffee was, at least, lukewarm.
 Sunday night, when a still heavier storm blew up and there were many cases of seasickness,s Captain Randall told them rescue ships were on the way and that there was no danger of the Powhatan going down for days even if help did not arrive and the storm did not abate.
 Reports taken to Halifax by the British steamer Bardic that eight lives had been lost in an attempt to transfer the passengers were without foundation. Not a life was lost and no one was injured. Two boatloadj of seamen from the Northern Pacific had narrow escapes, however, when they tried to reach the Powhatan i'll 9 heavy sea. They failed in their at-' tempt and then headed for the de. stroyer 44eary. Their boats were sent crashing against the side of the war ship, but all the sailors clambered aboard unhurt. s-
 All the way up the bay from Quar- antine the > Northern Pacific was greeted as a rescue ship and every craft in the harbor whistled well come to her. The rails of the trans port were lined with the owllatan5 ] passengers and they manifested their delight at being near shore. The pier where they landed was crowded with relatives and friends waiting to well come them.
 Among the women taken off tho PowIlatan were Misses Dorothy M. Dunn and Edith Gardner, Army nurses.
 Halifax, N. S., Jan. 24.-Misfortune again today attended the attempt to bring the disa abled L. s. transport Powhatan to port. Captain Travis, master of the Canadian government steamer Lady Laurier, which yester- day was slowly but steadily towing the Powhafan toward Halifax, advised the marine agent here this morning that one of the tow lines had parted and that progress had stopped.

SpECTACUIAR FIRE IN
 CHURCH. STREET BLOCK
Much Smoke But Little Blaze Causes Loss Esti-
 mated At About $3,2OO.

A fire which might have proved disastrous but for its timely discovery and calling of the fire department broke out in the cellar of Booths block shortly after 12 o'clock this noon. The fire, according to those who occupy the block, started di- rectly underneath the barbershop and pool room owned by Frank Del Mas tro. According to MT. Del Mastro the fire was caused by a small gas stove which heats. a water tank used in the barber shop. The fire smould- ering in the damp material in the cellar. caused great pillows of black smoke which rolled out into the street and ascended high in the air. It was most spectacular and was watched by several thousand spec tators.
 The fire was first noticed by one of the barbers who saw smoke coming up through the floor. The door lead ing to the cellar was opened and inn mediately great clouds of smoke filled the room and escaped through the doors and windows. giving the onlookers a sight not unlike those seen at the movies.
 Owing to the fact that the fire oc- cured during the noon hour, large CrOWu QuiCkly gathered ana until the police arrived the firemen had hard job to get through the congested street. All companies of the depart ment together With the special re- serves from factories responded to the general alarm. Traffic was tied up for about an hour.
 The fire itself did but little damage to either the barber shop, pool room the drug store of Miller X Hanson However, the smoke and water caused heavy loss- The damage to the build ing is estimated at about $2.000, while the barber shop equipment was almost demolished, making d loss of probably $1,20o. The officials of the Miller & Hanson drug store could not estimate their damage, but the store was injured by smoke and water.

 Although they suffered from the cold while the leaking Powbatan was tossed about on a storm-sWept sea, far off the Nova Scotian coast, the passengers here were rather inclined to treat their discomfort as a lark. Only one or them was i'll when the Northern Pacific reached her pier. That was Mrs. John A. Worden, of Mckinney Texas, wife of a HeuteH ant-colonel who is attached to tho American delegation in Paris, who is suffering from a slight attack of pneumonia.
 The transfer of the passengers, who included IL women and eight chil- dren, was made without accident late Thursday The perilous task began at D. m. and was finished 3 F hours later. Advantage was taken of the first calm sea after the vessel sprang leak last Sunday.
 The civilians on the disabled trans port were praised for their calmness and courage by the Army officers who were their fellow passengers. Tho pluck of the women was praised es- pecially. When they went aboard the Northern Pacific they were laughing and singing and showed few signs or the hardships they had undergone.
 When it was found that the pumps of the PoWhatan could not keep down the water flowing into the ship, the passengers were not kept in ignor- ance. Captain Randall called them together before dawn Sunday morn ing and explained that something had gone wrong with the ash eiector. which sends ashes and cinders from the engine room into the sea. He as- sured the men and women gathered about him that there was no danger and they took him at his word. There was no sign of panic then or after ward. -.-
