SAFETY
RECORDS BROKEN

Chicago, May 1o.-An railway
safety records were broken in 1915
when 825 American roads, reporting
to the bureau of railway news and
statistics here, went through the en-
tire fiscal year to June 80 without a
single fatality to passenger in a
train accident. The roads reporting
represented 161 ,94s miles of line. It
is stated that this record of safe OPP
Grafton has never been equalled By
the railroads of any other country. All
American roads in 1915 operating
over 250,000 miles of line, reported
1876 passengers killed in all railway
accidents. In comparison, the latest
returns for Europe, with 1905 miles
show 700 passengers thus killed.
The decreasing hazard to trainmen
is shown by the fact that 285 were
employed for one killed, the best rec
ord set in that respect.

MUCH SUGAR USED
BY NGLISHMEN
INCREASE IN CONSUMPTION
SINCE WAR IS COMMENTED
UPON BY THE TINES.
a. ASSOCIATED PRESS.


London, May 1o.-The increase in
the consumption of sugar in England
since the war points to an equivalent
increase in the space" at which the
country is living and working, says
the medical expert in the London
Times. He explains:
From the point of view Of the
Psychologist, one of the most striking
reports issued recently was that deal
ing with sugar consumption during
the first year of the war.
People who failed to grasp the
significance of the figures spoke in a
panied way about a lack of national
conscience and efforts were made to
preach economy. Nobody pointed cut
that the high consumption of sugar
was due directly to the fact that war
had whipped up the activities of every
man, woman and child in the country
so that even at much higher price
sugar was worth the money.
'The simple truth that one may in
fer from the demand from sugar is
that the whole rate of life has been
quickened in this country. Sugar is
the fuel of activity and in activity
more and more sugar is burned. In
England, and indeed all over Europe,
men are now living at a greater rate
than in times of peace. Civilization
if you will, is going the pace; and
for the pace sugar is essential no mat
ter what the price may be-"

A SELF MADE MAN.

'For the benefit Of new Corners to
jackson county, with whom we take
great pleasure in dividing our rights
and liberties as citizens, and who, for
lack of knowledge of his past, wonder
why the great masses of our citizens
are SO loyal to Col. Jefferson D.
Stephens, we herewith give a short,
true biography of his life:
Jefferson D. Stephens was born In
the pine woods of Jackson county,
Florida, in 1871, of poor but sturdy
parents. Shortly after his eighth
birthday it fell to his lot to fall In
behind a faithful family OK and be-
come a regular pillow hand on his
fathers farm, and when the evening
shadows had fallen across his new
made burrows, he walked proudly
home to receive the cheering reward
of being patted on the head by his
invalid mother and called her little
man. What time it was not neces-
sary for him to stay at home and
plow, hoe, pull fodder and do other
farm work, he attended the short
term public schools in the country at
that time. When sixteen, he con-
nected himself with the Baplst
Church and has ever since lived .
consistent, Christian life.
"At an early age he craved an ed
ucation, putting in his noon hours,
nights and rainy days at his books.
At nineteen he was called back to
teach the school where he had at
tended, and each year thereafter, un-
til twenty-five, he taught the then
four-months term Of school, working
the other e. hit months on the farm.
During this time he took up the
study of law, afterward reading for
several months in Hon. G. L. Wilson's
law office in Mariana. He was then
admitted to the bar, and began the
practice of his profession In this city
in 1903. Soon after locating here
he became an enthusiastic member Of
the State Militia His honest dealings
with his fellow soldiers won for him
their confidence, and by a unanimous
vote he was chosen Second Lieutenant
and so efficient was he that promo
tons came rapidly, and within two
years he had attained the rank of
Colonel.
an 1904 he was elected to the Flor
ida Legislature and served during the
session of 1905, adding greatly to his
record for loyakesg and faithfulness to
