GREAT RECORD.
For The Louisville Southern Rail.
way--NOt A Passenger Has
Ever Been Killed In
TwentY Odd Years
of Operation.

The Lawrenceburg News has the
following interesting article, which
shows a record probably without par
alell in the United States in railroad
circles:
"The Louisville division of the South
ern Railway was opened for traffic be-
tween Louisville and Burgin in July. 1t
is a remarkable fact, but nevertheless
true, that up to this good day in June,
1909, almost twenty-one years after
this line was completed, together with
the branch to Lexington, which was
opened for business n 1850, the branch
from Versailles to Georgetown and the
extension from Harrodsburg to Dan
vile, which was subsequently built,
making total mileage of 13S miles, not
a single passenger has been killed in
the various accidents which this road
has sustained during its many years of
operation.
The writer was connected with this
road for several years, and therefore is
in position to realize to some extent
the reason for this immunity from
danger 10 the many patrons
of this popular line. He has also manv
years ridden over the line quite frequ.
emily and during the past four years
covered the trip from this city, Lexing-
ton and Louisville weekly, aud he
could NOT fail to observe the untiring
care and watchfulness exercised BY the
train employees, from the engineers and
conductors down to the hagmen.
1--WE doubt very much if there is a
road operating today in this broad do
main whose employees are more singu-
larly aliveto the great Importance of
constant and untiring vigilance in the
operation of their trains than those of
the Southern Railway in Kentucky. In
the first place the majority of employee
who have charge of trains are Ken.

and trusty, cool in the hour of danger
