SOUTH HAS LAID
MUCH RAILROAD
ALABAMA BUILT 81 MILES IN 1909
TOTAL NEW MILEAGE FOR
DIXIE 2o3o MILES, AS AGAINST
a742 IN YEAR BEFORE.

The South built this year 2O30 miles
OF railroad. as against 3742 miles last
year, says the Age-Herald. West Viz
ginia alone shows an increased mile
age, while Texas, Missouri, Oklahoma
and Arkansas show heavy decreases
Alabama's mileage this year is but
SO; in 1908 il was 103.70 miles. The
81 miles built this year consisted OF
"A miles Of the Alabama, Tennessee
and Northern from Daucy to a point
near Ramsey: Cf IS miles from Pei
ham to Bessemer, and from Bessemer
to Mulga, on the Atlanta, Birmingham
and Atlantic. ard five miles on the
Birmingham Southern. It was 2 year
OF light construction.
The coming year is more promising
The Alabama, Tennessee and Northern
is to be extended. The Atlanta, Biz
mingham and Atlantic is to be COM
pleted to this city. The Cullman Coal
and Coke company is to lay about %
miles of track. The Sumter and Chloe
taw will be extended nine miles to
Hixon, and the Illinois Central may
build a line from Haleyville to Bir-
mingham traversing large coal fields
that now have no railroad facilities.
The distance from Haleyville to Biz
mingham is about 100 miles. More
new mileage is promised in 1910, and
the figures for 1909 will almost GER
tainly be exceeded. The increase in
traffic will assuredly promote new con-
struction.

Cost OF Higher Education.

The Fort Mill Times says the an
nouncement from the Office of the
State treasurer that the fertilizer
tag tax will amount to 5 100000 for
the current year Is bit of informa-
ton which should be of interest
generally, but Of, particular interest
to the farm.Ag classes. This is a
tax collected from the sales of COM
mercial fertilizers, IS cents on each
ton used in the State. it Is turned
into the treasury. by the fertilizer
manufacturers, but. 1.-The tax is oi
course added to the selling price of
the fertilizers and is paid by the
farmers.
"It is suggested that the tax is
too high and. should be reduced,
which probably is true. But the
thought on which we would focus
attention is the use to which the
tax is put and to point out how ii
could be more advantageously used.
E:.ery dollar of the tax goes to the
support of Clemson College. Glenn
son College is great institution
and is doing worthy work IN ad-
vancing the agricultural interests of
the State. but Clemson college does
not need $250,O00 year-at least
the college does not need so much
revenue from the tag tax. One hun
dred and fifty thousand dollars a
year for Clemson college would seem
a liberal appropriation, with supple
mentary revenues from the students.
The remaining hundred thousand
dollars should go to the public
schools. There it would be of great
er benefit to the people.
:. Clemson is not, however, the only
State-aided college which is receiv-
ing too much money at the expense
Of the common schools. The Uni
versity of South Carolina is, consid-
eriug the number Sf students enroll
ed and the work of. the institution,

Railroads XIII Fewer Passengers.

In a recent compilation of railroad
statistics the number of passengers
killed by the railroads during the
year 1909 are placed at 131. AS
suming these figures to be correct
this shows great improvement,
which must be credited to the strict
er regula ion enforced on the rail-
roads in consequence Of the pubic
Indignation aroused by their bFcody
record, and the demand for the bet
.eruent Of Ais condition. To fin a
time when the number Of passen-
gers killed was as small as 1t was
last year it is necessary to go back
twenty years, before railroads were
consolidated and operated to make
dividends On heavily watered stock.
From that time dates the rapid in
crease in railroad facilities, which
Included 610 passengers killed III
1907, and a total Of 122,S5S persons
killed and injured.
The report cited embraced the re-
turns Of ,36S seperate railroad com
paEies. OF, this number 347 did not
kill single passenger: OF the re-
naming twenty-one companies ten
operating 27,6S1 miles. and carry
ing 1s5.447.507 passengers, killed
one passenger each. This leaves l l
railroads responsible for all the 9th
er killings. l21 in number, an aver
age Of eleven passengers each.
Among the, railroads these stand
forth as the butchers. y
There are railroads which have
been operated for years, and which
enjoy the distinction Of never having
killed passenger during all these
years. And then there are other
railroads which are such notorious
mankillers that they have. a heavy
mortality list among their passen-
gers every year. So regularly come
reports of train wrecks on these
reads, resulting in loss of life. that
they never cause any surprise, and
this killing has become the subject
for CHASTITY jokes among people who
travel on these roads.
If one railroad can be operated
with such foresight and care as to
avoid killing a single passenger.
other railroads can do the same. And
when 341 railroads are operated
without killing a passenger, then 1t
is absolutely certain that these II
railroads who killed eleven passen-
gers each were operated with a Grim
inal disregard to safety. in the ef-
fort to keep down operating expen-
SIS in order to swell dividend re-
turns.
The proper punishment Of the re-
sponsible managers Of these passen-
yer-killing railroads would soon put
them in the class with those other
roads, which. are operated, without
killing passengers:
