Review of Past Years BuS.
mess and Accidents

i Washington, D. c.. July 24.-Fair-
fax Harrison, President Southern
Railway Company. said today:
During the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1915. Southern Railway
Company carried nearly seventeen
million passengers. among whom
were four fatal injuries: two in a
rear end collision at Salisbury, N. c.,
on November "a, 1915, due to a
human failure, the disgrace of which
the management feels keenly; one
at Jamestown, N. c., on March 10,
1916, when a truck failed under a
freight car passing a passenger train
on double track, causing damage to
the passenger train; and at Citico,
tennessee. on May 6, 1916, when a
passenger, in violation of the rules
made for his safety was leaning out
from the steps of a passenger car
and was struck by the truss of a
bridge.
1T may be reported also that,
despite the greatly increased volume
of business done this past year as
compared with the previous year.
there was decrease of fifteen fatal
injuries to employees. While this
record is far from perfection, the
is encouraged to believe
that its earnest and organized effort
to promote the safety of railway
travel and to reduce the risk of cas-
ualty in railroad employment is
showing results.

THE RIGHT PREVAILS

A white man in Wilkes County r.
ceived ST 200 for rescuing man WI &
had raised the offer from $500 to that
amount. He received cold cash
and no plaudits from the people and
will always be dubbed as a heartless
wretch. The reverse-twO negroes
risked their lives in the Catawba
river (far more hazardous than the
Wilkes rescue) without reward or
hope of reward and rescued two
men. Today a subscription amount
ing to 5000 or more has been raised
in their behalf and they are counted
as heroes. Another tribute to hon
or and patriotism and goes to show
that after all the color of the skin
has nothing to de- with right and
Justice.

"GINGLES JlNGLES"
GETTING BUSY.

I said to myself with a sort Of grin,
you cannot arrive, If you do not kick
in. You've squandered enough Of your
valuable time. Come through and get
busy or give up the climb. This earth
is no morgue and no place for the
drones, so speed to the limit or want
for the bones. You had good start,
your equipment was fine. You could
have made good had you but kept in
line. So blame yourself if your luck
has broke wrong. The guide posts
were many as you went along. You
can't blow your coin and make pleas
ure your God, Or you will wind up six
! feet under the sod. So right about
, face, make start for the heights, and
capture a crown for the fellow who
fights. You know that you can't make
the summit with ease, and that to
make good you can't do as you please.
You know that you must pay the price
IL you win, but you will get nowhere
# you don't begin. Then switch on
the current, release all the brakes.
Get down to the real stuff and cut out
the fakes. Develop a punch and

WHAT ABOUT 1T?

The government and the people
have spent millions of dollars in
helping the starving, war-ridden
countries of Europe. and yet when
it comes to helping its own people
all the government has offered is to
tell the flood stricken people what
to plant for quick crops and what
the seed will cost per pound OF
bushel. Tis true that some of the
left over garden variety of seed
have been offered free but what
good would that do to the farmer
who must plant or SOW seed broad
cast. Surely Uncle Sam should
first look after his own people or be
counted heartless wretch!

club at its meeting Tuesday the ur
gent need of library for High Point
and asked the hearty cooperation
of every member. Miss Clara COX
the president. spoke on the necessa-
ry steps to be taken in order to get
a public library: She said that the
subject should be presented to the
people of the city and that the pub
lie generally ought to become inter
ested in the project.
It was decided to hold a mass
meeting in September to organize a
library association that will then
take the matter in hand. In the next
forty days, however. enthusiasm for
a public library will be generated
and it is hoped that by the time the
mass meeting is called that there
will be such wide spread feeling
of the need that it will take little
effort to raise sufficient funds.
