ARE THREE MILES OF CARS
Big Four Line Has the West End of the New Cut OIT Filled Fp with Empty Freight Carriers—Kailroad Business Is Very Bad and it May Bo Several .Months before >'ew Station Is Opened. About three miles of empty freight cars are stored on the new Big Four cut off just west of town. These are cars that are not needed by the railroad now to handle the business and they have‘been put in on the cut off track where they will be out of the way. As the railroad men put it: “Business is dead.” All the lines are laying off men every day and thousands of cars are lying along the lines on side tracks. Usually it Is a hard matter to find an empty freight car. But its different now. Many people express the belief that the new depot will not be opened and the new line used until business picks up. They say that the railroad has hundreds of cars stored on the track and as that Is a good place to keep them they will probably be kept there until business picks up and the cars are needed.
Automobile and carriage manufacj turers, along with the men of the | allied vehicle industries, are gMng very serious consideration to the' question of the future supply of hickory timber. This wood, which is one of the most important of all woods, since no satisfactory substitute for it has been found, plays a more important part among the commercial timbers than many people realize. For automobile and carriage wheels, where strength, toughness, and resilience are essential qualities, no other wood has been found in this country that <will take the place j of hickory. Manufacturers say that ! no steel or wire spoke has yet been j found that will withstand the wear and tear of the hickory spoke and for this reason the welfare of the vehicle industry seems depentend upon the conservation of the hickory |
supply.
Three of the largest associations of hickory users nl the country, the | National Wagon Manufacturers Association of America, the Carriage Builders National Association, and the National Hickory Association have completed a scries of cooperative tests with the United States Forest Service and the trade considers the results highly important. The tests cover a close study of the properties of different woods used in vehicles and Implements, supplemented by mechanical tests to ascertain the relative strength of dif-

hickory which was formerly left as waste in the woods will be utilized b ythe trade and thus prolong the rapidly disappearing supply of hick-
ory.
Such Practical results as are given in the report, which a letter to the Forest Service at Washington will secure free for any one who wishes it, show conclusively the value o fsuch studies in solving problems connected with the grading of stock, the utilization of new old woods, and the conserving of our future supply of timber. The supply of good hickory in the United States is known to be very limited. The cut las year for timber was a little less than 150 miiliom feet, and it is estimated an even greater amount was used for automobile and carriage wheels, axle caps, gears, axles, poles, single trees and neck yokes, and it Is figured that at the present rate of cutting the supply will last about 15 years. ^ Reports are made from time to time of the discovery of suitable substitutes for hickory In foreign countries. The two woods which come nearest to having the quality of the hickory seem to be one of the eucalyptus and the crowfoot elm, both of Australia. Only time will tell whether these woods will prove satisfactory substitutes. In the meanwhile, American hickory users will be obliged to conserve the present supply and take steps to guarantee a future supply by encouraging private planting of the tree, whose wood Is becoming more precious each year.

Through his attorneys, Hamill & Hickory, John D. Calhoun, a victim of the Fontanel explosion of October 15, filed suit against the Dupont Powder Company in the Superior Court Wednesday asking $20,000 damages for personal injuries. It is alleged that the plaintiff was knocked down by the explosion and hurled against a tree. His head and body are said to have been bruised and mashed by flying missiles. The complaint avers that Calhoun’s auditory nerves were paralyzed as a result of the concussion and his hearing permanently injured. He declares that he will always suffer great physical pain and mental anguish. Before the injuries Calhoun is said to have earned $70 a month, but is now incapacitated for work.—Brazil Times.

The passengers are not enjoying the new state of affairs very well. Some are laughing about it but those who are in a hurry are thinking in "blue” language and there is no doubt but what the reduced speed will bring about a sentiment for the | repeal of the ordinance just as the traction company has anticipated.
