SOUTHERN ELIMINATING
MANY GRADE CROSSINGS

Danville, Vain connection with
the double track work which it has
had under way in Virginia and North
Carolina during the past fiscal year on
1924 miles of its Acknowledgment
line, Southern Railway has eliminated
Sd out of 73 grade crossings. By the
building of underpasses 20 were elm"
mated, by overhead bridges 10, and
by changing the direction of public
highways Is. The 10 which remain
are so located as to make their elimi-
nation physically impossible or they
involve prohibitive damages to abut-
ting property.
In all construction work involving
the relocation or double tracking Of
IT'S lines the fixed policy Of Southern
Railway Company is to separate all
important highway crossings Of the
revised lines wherever practicable.
Though this policy means large addi-
tional expense, such expense is under
taken as a permanent investment for
safety.
Southern Railway has also co-operat.
ed with municipal and county author
tiles in the elimination Of many dan
gerous crossings on others of its lines
throughout the South. It has devoted
to work of this character as much as
it's resources and other obligations
make possible and President Fairfax
Harrison has announced that this pol
+, 10y will be continued.

PENSION DAY.

The joyous time is now at hand
company commanders are making
ready the quarterly rolls for signing
This pension da ycomes at a very
suspicious time as it will enable the
veterans to take part in one of the
greatest events of the day, connected
With their army life Of the sixties
the last national encampment OF the
Grand Army of the Republic at the
national capital. Many have express
ed a desire to attend this encamp-
mant but feel they are deferred from
doing so on account of their age,
wounds, etc., the racket and excessive
cost of the trip. To all such it Is
pleasure to state that Mr.. G. M. Ellis
of Knoxville this week visited the
writer and informed him that he
would put at the disposal of the vet
Grams of the Mountain Branch Pull
man cars at the south gate of the
house to take the veterans to wash
ington and return. The "old boys" can
have a good nights rest and arrive
at 7 in the morning next day, fresh
from the enjoyment of the sights Of
the Capital and meet for the last
time many of their old comrades of
'61-'65. There will be no extra charge
for the Pullman cars and the excur-
sion rate of fare. Mr.. Ellis assured
the writer rates would be made so
low as to come within the reach of
all. 1t is estimated that the cost of
the excursion can in round figures be
made for $40 comfortably. This cuts
out "booze." The Pullman cars will
leave Knoxville Sunday, Sept. 26, at
2 D. M, to arrive at Johnson City
stopping at the south gate of the sol
diers' home-at $50 p. M, to arrive

In the American conflict of 1865,
why was it, the Confederates for two
years of that period held the entire
Federal government and it's arms at
bay? The Confederates had the best
West Point officers and the munitions
every southerner could ride horse
and handle a gun. The federal gov
eminent turned out mods under Off
GERS without training and underwent
uniform defeat from Bull Run until
Vicksburg and Gettysburg. 1t took
two years for the federals to get cav
airy for which instructors were i'm
ported from Europe. While ON this
subject, after four years practical ex-
perience and observation in that con-
fiict, it developed that the volunteer
system for an active army may be
good after two years hard living in
the field and enormous sacrifices, but
it breaks down before two years

then it is the draft or CONSUMPTION.

Penbrook, Pa. July 9.-With the
State Highway Departments aid as
sured for the paving of Main street,
plans for the work will be started i'm
mediately by the Council. 1t is ex-
pected that the work will cost approxi-
inately 100000, for paving and curb
ing. The street is forty feet wide and
the Harrisburg Railways Company has
agreed to pay the cost of paving eight
feet, six feet between the car tracks
and one foot on either side. The re-
naming thirty-two feet will be paid
by the State and borough, each paying
for sixteen feet. The cost of the curb
ing will be paid by the borough.
The street will be paved with brick
end to end of the borough, a distance
of slightly less than 1000 feet. AS the
town is without funds, a special meet
ing of the council will be held Mon
day night, July 12, to pass an ordin-
ence for the paving and devise some
means of raising money. b. F. Ober,
chairman of the Highway Department,
declared last night that bonds would
probably be issued for this money.
