Boasts of Hauling Biggest Train.

H. L. Butts, engineer, claims the distinction of having pulled the biggest train of loaded cars ever hauled in the south. This week he was at the throttle of engine 4235, one of the heaviest and most powerful types of freight engines used on the road, and went from Cumberland to Brunswick with 104 loaded cars. His average running time was 33 miles an hour. The run breaks the record for the number of loads pulled in one train on '.this division.
