SOCiETY'S RIGHTS,
Man began to lose his indiy

Man began to lose his individ-
uality when he became men,
Der of organized society. The
individual has passed out of
business and political life To-
day the individual is Il corpora
ton. Out of our present system
many evils have come. am
inclined to think that as direc-
tors of corporations we do things
which we would not do as in
dividuals before the eyes OF the
world. 1t is true that in our
complex civilization man has
lost his individuality. but at the
same time he has retained his
responsibility. This responsible
ity he has abused and the world
will not be better until man can
use his responsibility with bet
ter honor to himself and the
world. Justice j. \. Burr.

Views Of Tennessee's Marrying Parson"

These are the sentiments Of Rev Alfred

First Railroad.
The first rail roadways called tramways,
a name stI1 used extensively In foreign
countries, and less here. TO designate street
raiiwayS. were constructed in England In
1902. at the -collieries near Newcastle-upon-
Tyne. Rails of timber, consisting of hard
wood stringers, grooved at the side or In
the center, were laid on improvised sup
ports. A horse, could haul about 1900
pounds of coal on such a tramway, the
coal being loaded In bulky carts. the wheels
Of which fitted the grooves in the rails.
From this period until the opening Of the
stockton & Darlington railway, on Sep
TENDER o. 1925. about twenty-seven rail-
ways we're built in England, ranging In
length from four 10 thirty-five miles, and
having an aggregate length of about 80
miles These railways were used almost
! exclusively. for the transportation or coal
and iron and we're OF crude construction.
| Developments In track constructions and
/ experiments with stationary steam power
plants and steam locomotives were numer-
Gus.
| The elimination OF this period OF expert
mentation was reached when the Stockton
& Darlington railway, twenty-five miles
| lohg, was opened. This road had four in

| both horses and locomotives we're used.
The stockton & Darlington was the first
railroad opened for general traffic. When
| il was projected, the carrying OF passengers
was not contemplated, but the success at
! tending the opening OF the road induced
1.-THE company TO put on a single coach as
an experiment. The number Of persons
! desiring 10 travel by rail was so great
that additional coaches we're provided,
and in a short period passenger traffic be-
/ came an important part Of the roads busi-
ness. Railway transportation, in the mod
ern sense OF the term, began, thus, with
the stockton 4 Darlington railway.
The success OF the Stockton & Darling
