WHAT ARE YOU DOING
TO BOOST THE SOUTH? {?

The railroads are spending tnou-
sands of dollars annually in advertis-
ing the resources of the Southern
States.

fruits, tobacco, cotton, grains and for

THE RAILROAD CROSSING.

Mr.. Fairfax Harrison, president Of
the Southern Railway company, has
had printed for distribution among the
people throughout the territory of the
Southern's lines, a placard giving
warning of the danger constantly to
be encountered at the grade crossing.
Mr.. Harrison has complied list OF
accidents occurring to automobiles at
grade crossings during the year ended
June 80, and the result ought to make
;,le public take pause. In Alabama,
Georgia, North Carolina, South Caro-
ina, Tennessee and Virginia, there
were SO grade crossing accidents, North
arolina leading with 81. Twelve peo-
lie were killed, So were injured and SO
machines were demolished. The pub
&c will give President Harrison credit
sor the utterance of a truth when ne
says b5at most of the accidents could
be avoided if there were the same re-
traint of experience and attention at
ne wheel of the automobile as at the
throttle of the locomotive" Mr.. Har-
ison has decided ideas as to the mat
-er of paying damage suits for these
accidents. He says: cit does not
safice the public in any moral sense

sequences of such accidents. Suicide

We Should Use Cotton Goods.
Dillon Herald

Dillon Herald.
The Newberry Herald and News
prints the picture of az Newberry
cotton mill superintendent clothed
from mead to foot in garments made
from cloths manufactured in his own
mill. This man sets a good example.
Not only are tie suits made from cot
ton yarns more comfortable but they
are neater and more attractive in
appearance. In fact when one comes
to think of it there is every reason
why we of the South should wear
all-cotton clothing. First, We become
consumers of our own product; Sec
ond, this is a warm climate and COM
mon sense teacc es US that cotton is
cooler than wool; third, a cotton
suit costs just about half as much
as wool suit and two cotton suits
will last longer and look better dur
ing the same period of wear than one
wool suit. 1t is claimed that mil
lion bales of cotton could be con-
sumed in making uppers for shoes
while two million more could be
used in the manufacture of light
weight clothing. We of the South
are the last to ask for snoes with
cloth uppers while in the South
american countries where cotton as

nues as punishment for an avoidable
accident, when there can be no real
compensation, is an economic waste"
The statement is made t2at last year
$50 cents of every dollar Of revenue
collected from the public went in pay
ment of damage suits of all kinds.
President Harrison concludes with a
sensible suggestion which the Observer
willingly passes along. He says that
words of caution and common sense
around the family dinner table can
have more influence and save more
lives at railroad crossings t-an all the
warning whistles ever blown by 10
comotive engineer r."-Cnarlocte, N. c.,
Observer.
President Harrison's statement is
very true, but why should we have any
grade crossings at all. Sometimes even
with the most careful and painstak-
ing driving of an automobile the acci-
dent will happen. 1t is difficult to hear
the whistle or uae bell of an engine
while driving an automobile, and some
times wnen you are on the lookout at
every crossing the train will come on
you before you know it, and it is not
always reckless driving that causes
these accidents.
But the figures here given by Presi-
dent Harrison should make the public
sit up and take notice. And in most
cases these grade crossings could be
taken out with little or no cost to any
one, and the public road be put in
much better place than it now is.
The people who live along the road
and who would really be benfitted are
frequently the ones who raise the mos
objection to relocating the public road.
With the increase in the number of
trains and the increase in the use of
automobiles it almost becomes a ne
cessity to the safety of the people who
use the highways that t2ese grade
crossings be removed.
We are pleased to say that Mr.. John
F. Livingston of the C. N. and L. road
is doing all he can to remove the grade
crossings on his line of road, and only
recently ne has taken out several be-
tween Little Mountain and Prosperity
or made the arrangements to have
them removed. With the cooperation
of the Southern and the people who
live along the road and the county
supervisor practically all OF the grade
crossings between Prosperity and
Newberry could be removed and it
would be an advantage to the people
who own tie land and live along the
road, and certainly would be a great
advantage to the travelling public
Only recently the legislature gave au-
thority to the railroad commission to
remove these grade crossings which
are a menace to the public safety, and
we hope that the commission will have
the cooperation of the railroads and
the people and the county supervisors
and shat soon all grade crossings will
he removed.

ONLY ONE PASSENGER
KILLED DURING YEAR
Southern Railway Transported More
Than Sixteen and Half Million
With One Fatal Accident.

Atlanta, July 16.-More than six
teen and half million passengers-a
number greater than tie combined pop
ulation of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Tennessee and Kentucky-were trans
ported by the Southern railway dur
ing the year ended June 80 with only
one fatal injury to a passenger while
on train, and that one was standing
on a car platform in direct violation
of the Company's rules.
Of uis great number of passengers,
not one was killed in a train acci-
dent. "a
This excellent record was shown in
the official figures given out today in
dicating the high degree of safety that
has been attained in the :andling OF
Southern railway passenger trains
In marked contrast are figures re-
Gently given out by President Fairfax
Harrison of the Southern railway,
showing that during the same period
twelve persons riding in automobiles
were killed in accidents at public high
way crossings, every one of which
accidents could have been prevented
had the driver of the car observed the
familiar warning "Stop, Look and
Listen"

"Stop, look and listen," is the slo-
gan President Harrison of the South
ern railway is sounding to automo-
biles and other vehicles at grade
crossings of railroads. A better slo-
gan than H3at is, away with grade
crossings" And many of them coald
be removed if the proper officials
would take the matter up properly
and argue with the people who live
along the road wnere these grade
crossings are. If they will not listen
to reason then let the crossings be
removed, any way. They are a
menace ito life.

licity through his Office, is appreciated.
He can render a great service.
1t is interesting to noe that bot1
roads shown in the map Of the route
published in The State, the Glenn
Springs-West Springs and the Jones'
ville-Pacolet roads, were recently or
ganized for dragging, but until an
agreement is reached with IT, super
visitors office, this work will not be
put under way-Spartanburg Herald.
Commissioner Watson has been very
much interested in the Capital-to-Pied
mont highway and has given much to
i elp in making it even as good as it
is. We believe the best and most
practicable route from Columbia to
Spartanburg is via Newberry, Whit
mire and Union. The road from New
berry to Whitmire needs some atten-
ton, but could be made first class
road with a little work From Whit
mire to Union we have always under
stood is a very good road. 1t is ONLY
SO miles from Newberry to Union by
Whitmire and from Newberry to Co.
lumbia the distance is IA miles, max
ing the distance from Columbia to
Union just 80 miles From Union to
spartanburg we s-ould think the dis
tance was about 30 miles.
We would like for Commissioner
Watson to get in behind the supervis-
ors of Richland, Lexington and New
berry and put the road from Columbia
to Newberry in better condition. The
Richland end was fine road, but the
last trip over it that we made
found it in great need of attention. In
fact unless there is some provision
made for the maintenance of TIE road
there is very little use to work it at
all. Just little dragging of this road
after each rain would keep it in fine
condition and would cost very little.
There should be contract with some
one to do this work regularly.
The Lexington section is in the same
condition. TIE section from Chapin to
Little Mountain should be relocated
and could be and avoid some heavy
hills, as well as one or two grade
crossings of the railroad. In New
berry we understand several of the
grade crossings of the railroad are to
be removed.
The traction engine has been at
work on the section between Newberry
and Kinards and in many places has
improved tie road, but for a mile or
two just beyond Newberry the heavy
sand has been piled in the center Of
the road and it is worse than it was
before. If some clay were put with the
sand there would be good road. But
generally the road from Newberry to
tie Laurens lire is IN fine condition.
We understand tnat Supervisor Sam
pie is going to carry the work on to
Little Mountain and the Lexington
line. We hope so.
