has been added to that of November 13, 1929, in the annals of the stock market for its record of low prices of practically all groups of stocks except the utilities, according to the Standard Statistics of New York, which has prepared a comparison of its weekly stock price index for the past two weeks with the high and low points of 1929 and 1910. The composite index of 404 stocks on June 18 was only 1.2 per cent above the figure for November 13, 1929, and this was only because of the resistance shown by the utilities on the downward move. Both rails and industrials registered new lows for the period from January 1, 1929. Splitting the main indutrial group into 41 divisions, it is found that 24 of the 41 dipped under the 1929 lows on June 18. Six other groups, or thirty in all, went into new low ground for 1930.

Of the 17 group indexes which did not go below the 1929 low figures, only five, the agricultural implements, electric equipment, machinery, theatres and tobacco groups, were more than 5 per cent above the 1929 showings. On June 18, seven-teen of the forty-one industrial groups were lower than the average of 1926, which is taken as 100 in the construction of the indexes. Detailed figures showing the composite index, main group indexes, and divisions of the industrial index, all being on the basis of the 1926 average as 100, follow: SURVEY BY GREENE HAS HISTORICAL VALUE GREENVILLE, N.

The engine was designed to run on ordinary roads. Its speed capacity was three to four miles per hour, and it carried four people. Owing to its small boiler capacity the contraption would run but 12 or 15 minutes without stopping to get up steam. Cugnot made several successful trials on the streets of Paris with his locomotive, but, when he was turning a coiner one dav at a speed of three miles per hour, the engine upset with a crash.

It then became considered dangerous and was locked up in the Arsenal. A slightly remodeled locomotive was built in 1830 and was put in operation on the Charleston and Hamburg Railway.

A silent sentinel, standing guard over the town of Woodruff is the handsome 80 foot Magnolia tree in the heart of the town on Main street between the W. Department store and the Jones Barber shop, which has delighted the passersby with its beautiful leaves and fragrant flowers lor the past 58 yeurs. Towering high over the surrounding brick buildings it has seen the end of the War Between the Slates, the struggles oi Reconstruction days, and the growth of Woodruff from a hamlet, which was called Hill," to a town of over 3,300 inhabitants. PLANTED DURING WAR The tree was sent home by Captain A. B.

Woodruff, the son of Thomas Woodruff, for whom the t-nvn is named, during the Civil War while stationed on the coast of South Carolina with Company holcombe Legion, near Adam Run of Pocataligo and was planted by his wife, Mrs. Maria Louis Woodruff, with the assistance of a faithful slave, Edmond Woodruff, in the red capital. Almost 3.000 delegates, representing every nook and corner of the Soviet union, will be assembled in the Kremlin palace for the start of what is regarded as one of the most important congresses the party has held. Nearly 100 different nationalities and races within the Soviet union will be there, presenting an extraordinarily picturesque appearance in their colorful, varigated national drers. Among the arrivals here are many women delegates women having equal rights with men in Soviet Russia.

The congress, the first since Leon Trotsky expulsion from the party more than two years ago, Is expected to vindicate completely the policies and practices of Joteph Stalin, secretary general of the central party committee, as Russia's "strong man." Stalin Is generally credited with having saved the country from disaster last March by his famous manifesto calling a halt upon soviet village officials and party members in their excesses designed to hasten the collection of the peasantry on large state-controlled farms.

It would not be fair to infer that the month was without many redeeming features. Perhaps the most encouraging was the demonstration, notwithstanding the continuance of prices as a whole toward a lower level, than an immense purchasing power existed for copper at a price. Another encouraging feature was supplied by wool, which after a year-long decline, steadied abroad. This steadiness was reflected in better buying of some but not all grades here at home.

However, the registering of higher quotations than those of a year ago. rather than lower, in this particular market will probably be regarded as a gain.

SOME RAIL TROl'BLES "The railroads, like other people, had their troubles in May, largely in the shape of receding car loadings. Heavily reduced gross and net earnings were registered for the full month of April. Aear ago, million-a-week car loadings started in mid-April and were maintained, except in holiday weeks, unt early November. This year, however, the mil-hen-a-week signal is yet to be hung up. Reflection of the fact that loadings for the year to date are the smallest since 1924 is had in reports that reductions in forces or in of labor are contemplated by srveral systems.

"Because of the conceded Importance of the world-wide deflation of prices that has been going on in part for more than a full year past, it might be wortlf notine that the June 1 Index Number showed the eighth consecutive monthly decline It is also noteworthy that prices are now 13.4 per cent below those of a year ago and the lowest since the summer of 1921. when the after results of post-war delation were visible, and with this exception at the lowest point since December 1915. "Compared with a year ago. 70 out of 106 commodities are lower in price. During May and early June ti-ree commodities, sugar, rubber and silver, were at the lowest point ever reached, and paw silk was certainly at the lowest In many years.

"Employment conditions are still enxiously discussed In this country. The April returns of employment in manufacturing, made up by the Bureau of Jjnbor' Statistics, shows ten per cent reduction from a year and the lowest level back fo Pav rolls are 14 per cent off. According to manufacturers' reports, employment conditions in the largest center of automobile manufacture are the poorest in five years. A to this, It may be said that ADril automobile output was the largest IT in number of units fcr eight months but. was 30 per cent below that fcf a year ago.

The tree which was a mere switch when sent to Woodruff grew rapidly and soon made a shade in which the children made playhouses and played their running games. In later years swings and joggling boards were placed under the tree by the Anderson family who inherited the property, which were a source of joy to not only the Anderson children but the youngsters of the town as well. There are not many natives of Woodrutf who have not climbed the tree at one time or other, cither to get the beautiful buds or to view the surrounding country, as one prominent matron said recently: "I well remember when Miss and I used to climb that tree and say that we could see all over Lau-icns!"
