Southern Railway Places Big Or
derS for New Equipment.

ucFS IOI NV IHuApiINAt'
Atlanta, May 17.-That it may
continue adequately to Serve the
South" the Southern Railway sys-
TEN has placed orders for new
equipment consisting of twenty To-
comotives, $3.50 freight cars OF
steel construction. five hundred au-
tomobile cars Of steel construction,
one hundred steel passenger cars
and two hundred fifty caboose cars
of steel underframe construction.
The magnitude of the order can
better be appreciated when it is
realized that if it we're possible. to
place the freight cars equipment
on one train it would be foryt-
seven miles from the engine to
caboose; if broken up into trains
of an average length it would COM
prise Of two hundred and fifty
trains or one train every two and
one-half miles from Washington to
Atlanta. The new passenger cars
if coupled into one train would be
a mile and Il half in Length from
the engine to the real coach n
would represent twenty trains OF
the average length. The coaches
are of the average length; the
coaches are of the latest design and
are of all steel construction. In
| placing this large order for new
equipment which will be delivered
in time for the fall business the
Southern has demonstrated Its
| faith in the return of business pros
perity in the south and this Will
place the Southern in position to
! handle with safety and dispatch
this increased business.

Tuesday, May S0th, with Mr. G. f.
Lowe. author of the Neosno, Mo,
plan of Golden. Rule Special Sales
Day. Owing to the Chamber of
Commerce rooms being used on
that date by the Permanent Road
Commission meeting regarding the
awarding OF contracts for hard sur
faced highways the Y. NJ. C. A,
through courtesy of Mr.. Cuttino
Mcknight, its executive secretary,
has kindly arranged for the bust
ness and professional. men and wo-
men of Sumter to meet with the
S. a. L. railway officials and hear
Mr.. Lowe present his plan of ac-
tive working cooperation between
the mercantile retail concerns Of

A. building.
a few days ago a preliminary

you Might Meet q Fool.

This unusual warning sign was
sound on a road at the foot OF n
Rockies. Is one well calculated
Z. make a driver slack up and taiie
notice, or show himself the fool.
Hemay have confidence in his abl-
ftyvsto avoid running into another
car but however skilIfui a driver
be may be, if there is fool in
the other car. his efforts to escape
s collision may be futile.
Ever driver should bear in
xaand that ne may meet a fool
on part OF the road-in fact
mat the high speed fool is more
likely to be encountered on the
straight stretches. Il is true. too,
that those met on the road may
not be fools, but merely slow-wit-
ted motorists or pedestrians.
The Investigation of Marylandss
state Road Commission shows that
80 per cent. OF the accidents that
happen to motorists are due to the
one cause-speeding. Most disas-
ters have occurred On straight poS-
ticns of the road, at places always
considered safe. while the sections
of road commonly regarded as ex-
trepsly dangerous have been rela-
tfresy free from accidents. On
roads with steep grades and nu-
merons curves the accidents have
been few and not serious, and the
accidents have been fewer. too
Were the traffic density is greatest.
1t is clear from the evidence
that even the less careful motorists
drive cautiously in the presence OF
recognized danger, such as steep
grades, sharp curves, rough sur
face. etc, while the absence OF
such dangerous features gives the
driver a sense of security which al.
lows him to yield to the we'll nigh
universal passion for speed.
Experience proves that ne road
is safe without discretion IN the
DRYER.
Horsepower in the a and horse
sense in the driver make the safe
combination.
Regard for the rights of others
