BANGOR COUPLE
SIX FEET Of DEATH
Train For Baraboo Almost
Strikes Vehicle in Which
They Were Riding.
DID NOT HEAR BELL
Automobile Drivers Are
Also Careless in Cross
ing Railway.


Thursday while train SIG was run
ming from Winona to Baraboo with
Engineer Fl. e. Brown of this city
at the throttle and Fireman Bert De
Koeyer on the other side of the ab, a
grey horse and buggy with an aged
couple ;in the vehicle, came
upon the track near Bangor. The
train was running at full speed and
with quick presence OF mind Mr..
Brown set the emergency brakes,
which worked perfectly, and when the
engine went by the rear wheels of the
vehicle were but about six feet
away. The man and woman must
have been deaf for they did not look
around and had not needed the ring
ing of the crossing bell or the blowing
of the whistle. The grey horse did
not change from it's accustomed slow
walk. Au automobile was just behind
and stopped because the crossing was
not clear. It is said many auto drivers
take chances in crossing tracks before
passing trains and some are caught in
the death crash. Had it not been for
the prompt action of the engineer on
Thursday the aged couple would have
been in crossing accidento Look out
for the locomotive.

EXPLAINS
HOW HIS STATE
ADVERT|SES
Secretary of First Cooperative
Chamber of Commerce Here to
Aid Georgia Boosters.

Georgia people don't half appreciate
the undeveloped resources and ad-
vantages of their own Commonwealth,
and, being in this inexcusable igno-
rance, how can they impress the rest
of the country with the great benefits
that will come from trade relations
with the Empire State of the South?
That was the question, PROFOUND
ed Wednesday by j. A. Arnold, OF
Fort Worth, Texas, who has the
distinction of being the secretary of
the best systematized, most effective
and one of the oldest State CONNER
cial organizations in the United
States.
Mr.. Arnold is in Atlanta to look
over the field that is to be occupied
by the Georgia Chamber of Com
merCe and to offer suggestions out
of his six years experience with the
Texas organization. He will return
to Fort Worth Wednesday night or
Thursday He was one of the speak
ers Tuesday night at the Georgia
products dinner in Dalton.
Educate Georgians, Too"
The Texan described the work OF
a State chamber of commerce as
very similar to that of the city com
mercial bodies except that it should
be on q much larger scale and should
involve, perhaps, more of the idea
of vast educational campaign to
instruct not only the outside world 1T
| what Georgia has to offer. but Geor-
gia's own citizens as well. They
strangely enough, are but little bet
ter informed as to the great posslbll1
ties of the State than are the big
e he OF he
North.
First educate Georgia's own people
as to what is in store for them if the
states resources properly are de-
veloped and it will not be long before
| the business interests in other sec
| tons will find out about it, according
to Mr. Arnold.
at is plain to me that Georgia is
in the midst of a period of crafty
ing prosperity and commercial ad-
vancement," said Mr.. Arnold. 1T is
just the psychological time for the
launching of a movement like that
contemplated by the Georgia Cham
Der of Commerce. The work of the
chamber can be given an impetus
now that it would not receive in a
time of business depression.
Plan Successful in Texas.
I'VE must have been successful in
Texas or the work of the chamber
would not have been continued. 1t
is difficult to measure exactly what
is accomplished by any mathematical
| means. for the work is largely edu-
cational.
I'VE teach the people the industrial
and agricultural possibilities of the
State in which they are living, and we
get the favorable attention of out
side capital whenever it is needed
The Texas organization of business
men has the reputation of being the
model of its kind. 1t is the only one
which has survived and maintained
its original organization.
There are 1875 city and sectional
chambers of commerce represented in
the State body. In 1912 we spent
500, 900 in development and publicity
work and we feel well satisfied with
the expenditure and the results. l
have no doubt that Georgia can and
will get just as satisfactory results
from it's organization
