NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
"OLD 81"

The following column on "Old 81" known to all
Greenvlle tranmen and hundreds of the city's old
er residents, was written by Ben Robertson and
appeared in the latest Clemson Commentator:
Old 81 used to roar through Calhoun. The train
that went $50 miles an hour and finally was
wrecked between Lynchburg and Danville, was the
talk once of the whole Piedmont region. 1t carried
nothing but mail coaches and ran the mountainous
line from Washington and Charlottesville and
Lynchburg to Greensboro and Charlotte and Spar
tanburg and Greenville and Atlanta.
1t sped through Carolina faster than anything
had ever passed through the hills, and people gath
cred for miles around to watch 81 go through.
Boys" says Mr. Tollison, the Calhoun station
master. at looks like it was flying
Turning the sharp bend at the Aaron Boggs
place on the old roadbed, the train would gather
speed as it came down the long grade through
Calhoun and by the time it hit the treste
Seneca river, old 81 sight to see 1t was
progress itself and was sensation.
1t caught and held the imagination. All tracks
were cleared for 81. 1t took the right of way over
every train on the line, and it killed more crew
members than any train ever operated by the
Southern The time it was wrecked near New
market Va it killed everybody on board except
that man escaped The he assigned to was
broken in half, split wide open, but he escaped
without much than scratches.
Old 81 in those days left Washington about
O'Clock in the morning and would pass Calhoun
around o'clock that same evening. Rails iii that
day were lighter than they are now and trains
were lighter Old 81 was too light for the speed it
had to travel So 81 went into oblivion, and the
Southern railroad never again captured the imagl-
nation of the South 1t did seem. after that to
try That was the end Of an era.
The day of the airplane and the great passenger
bus was nearing and the public soon turned It's
wondrous attention away from the steel rails to
the skywayS and the paved roads. For nearly 20
years while the design of the plane and bus were
being altered year by year, the railroads continued
to run the same general type of heavy steel car.
Instead of dramatizing their long trains, the rail
roads let the clipper ships of the air rob them Of
their old-time glamor. Furthermore, the railroads
confused the public by the way they frequently
altered old schedules They changed the times OF
trains so frequently that 81 and 38 no longer
marked time in the South like the clock. The time
finally came when the South no longer could re-
member which train was the Piedmont Limited and
which was the Crescent.
So nowadays, it is the older generation that still
listens to the roaring of trains through the South
ern night. The younger generation is like Benny
Longley. Benny says when he grows up he will be
an airplane pilot he will drive the big blue bus
from Atlanta to New OreanS.-CharleS Garrison

LET US HOPE HE'S RIGHT

Chairman John Hamilton of the Republican Ma
tional committee sounded note with refer
ence to the talk and possibility of President Roose-
Welt seeking third term, when he declared 'it is
very doubtful whether even those the federal
relief rolls would vote for Mr.. Roosevelt again"
Undoubtedly Mr.. Hamilton is correct, so far as
concerns certain portion of those relief rolls,
in his assertion that what these people want are
self-respecting jobs in private industry"
Thoughtful citizens of the nation everywhere
would like very much to believe that Mr. Hamilton
speaks the truth when he says that millions re-
lief rolls are "growing tired of being made wards
of the Roosevelt administration" and that "they
know there is neither a comfortable livelihood nor
any future whatever in u job relief. Char

1t begins TO look as if the American peo-
pie were at last beginning to learn the
facts of ife-Or of death-in connection
With their automobile traffic.
For one reason or another, the traffic
toll is at last declining. The decline is al
ready great enough to be noticeable; II
continued throughout the year at the pres
ent rate. it will mean the saving OF some
five or six thousand lives.
So far. the safety experts aren't quite
sure what has caused it. The consensus
seems to be that it has no one cause, but
is the product of a great number OF things:
better police work, the construction of
safer highways. the cumulative effects Of
many years of safety education, and so on
But in any case, the decline is taking
place and it is one of the most welcome
bits of news imaginable.
That ShadOwy future generation we
like to refer our present problems to will
undoubtedly have terrible time under
standing why We ever put up with our
traffic toll for so long. The thing was kill
ing more than 10000 people a year, as
regular as clOckwOrk, and mJuring per-
laps ten times that many. 1t made the
casualty lists of most of the battles the
American army has participated in look
small 1t was like an epidemic pestilence
which people lived with, and callOuSly &C
cepted, simply because they couldn't do
anything else.
How will the inhabitants of a saner
world ever understand that? 1t will look
as strange and as incomprehensible to
them as our way of putting up with aerial
bOmbings, armament races and wars, our
habit OF settling industrial disputes with
gun and club, our acceptance of poverty in
the midst of plenty.
But the corner is at last being turned !;
which, probably, simply indicates that we
ito learn things If we are given enough
time. The traffic problem isn't insoluble
we are beginning to awaken to that fact,
and to do the things which will enable us
to travel about the highways without
breaking our collective neckS in wholesale
lots.
And the same sort of thing will prob
ably be true, ultimately. of those other
problems.
There is no natural law condemning the
human race to endless wars, industrial bat
ties, and periodic depressions.
Those things exist simply because 1t
takes us a long time to learn; and because
we seem bound to do our learning the hard
way, by getting wisdom beaten into our
heads.
But we do learn-eventually 1t takes
US long time, and We get bumped plenti-
fully along the way; but in the end, we get
there.
