Washington, D. C.-The following
letter has been addressed to the pub
lie by Mr.. Fairfax Harrison, president
OF Southern Railway Company:
The automobile has greatly in
creased the comfort and convenience
OF life, and 1t has been an important
factor in the improvement of country
highways and SO has contributed to
the progress Of civilization of our
time, but, just as the railroad did
when it revolutionized commerce, the
automobile has introduced new social
complications and new risks, moral as
we'll as physical
THE American people are said to
Ie Enthusiastically reckless of hui
man life, and perhaps in nothing is
this statement more justified at the
moment than in relation to the use Of
automoblles-not even the railroads.
MY particular interest in the cues
ton is, where my public responsibility
lies, in the combination of the two
in the accidents which occur to auto
mobiles and 3 their occupants where
highways cross railways at grade: and
this is a question of sufficient import
ance to warrant the attention of every
thinking man in the South.
Record For One Year

palling record OF such accidents on

Words Of caution and common sense

Quite a number of people of the
toWland south take ADVANTAGE of
che excursion rates offered by the
Southern Railway. and come to the
mountains for short stay. Of these
Sylvia GETS its proportion. In view
OF this it seems strange that our
Gown is not numbered among those
to which excursion tickets are sold.
Those who wish to come to sylvia
must buy a ticket to Waynesville
and are put to unnecessary trouble.
An instance occurred last week
Tickets were sold to parties COMING
to Sylvia from Augusta. Ca; but the
tickets were for Waynesville. The
baggage agent refused to check
trunks through to Sylvia and of
course the excursionists were forced
to pay cash fare from Waynesville
to Sylvia and. when they rot here.
to wire for the baggage to be re-
checked. It is matter that should
be taken with the railroad bv the
board Of trade.
