Our people ehn do much to relieve thiH

following suggestion*: ? .
"All shippers of earloads of merchan
dise should haul ears as soon as placed
and load them to f til I capacity.
"AH receiver* of carload shipments
should unload and release cars Imme

"The eon I situation is o*)>cclally acute

"Cotton glnners should press hales to

"Cotton and other merchandise

'The railroads have already Issued

(?ambling With Death.
Recently it. has been so that every
i paper contains an account of a horrible
automobile accident. Mostly of auto
mobile* colliding with trains.
I Everyone knows tin*t a railroad I*
a great help to a city. In fnet the
town that hasn't a railroad is off to
itself. It doesn't contain progressive
'people and is hidden among the hills
iof an unsettled district, away from
the activities of the world. The city
that has the most railroads is the one
that becomes a nioccn for trade. The
i railroad is a corporation unju?fcly
treated. When anyone Is hurt on a
train?no matter whose fault it is?
the first idea that occurs to them is
' t?. sue the railroad. Nearly always the
ijury will award a verdict in favor of
?the plaintiff?instead of l>eing sued the
milroad should be suelng them. Those
, kind of people are leeches on modern
i society.
| When an automobile collides with
I a train the engineer receives the blame,
j when the driver of an automobile is
committing suichle_ in trying to l?eat
, 1 (lying train across the track,
j The instinct of any animal is great
: 'iiough for it to get off a track when
a locomotive is occupying the sanne
i ilack, and here *-nmes man who ss sup
posed to have more common sense htan
all otluM- tiling?: combined taking his
life in Ills own hands gambling with
death?no. it's not even a gambling
chance. If you succeed in lienting tin"
train across what have you accomplish
ed? If you lose, you have sacrificed
) your life. The -railroad track is sta
tionery. and we can't understand why
j |leoplc who know the track Js there
j will tli*t,.with death, just to gain a few
seconds.
The ruilroads in every .way have
tried to avoid accidents. For the
safety of tin* public they hove put up
I "Stop I Look ! Listen!" posts and bells
that ring, when the train is approach
I iug in a radius of several hundred

I have gone to the extra expense of

: trains still occur. It I* human nature
\ for people to live on excitement, but
it has gone several notches below ex
citement when people try to beat a
flying locomotive across the track
Such people need their attic remodel

It's jierfectly ail right with us if
people want to continue gambling with
death by trying to cross ahead of the
train, because we get paid for pub

A Plant that Grows
with the Times
About five year a ago we conceived a tremendous idea
?the idea of living to America a soft drink such oa
it had never before tasted. A new kind of soft drink
in flavor and in its cereul ingredient*?A soft drink
that should be nutritious us well as delicious?pure
and wholesome.
*
The idea took root?it was cultivated, experimented
with, tended with ull the care and skill that science
?ould apply. For four ycaia this work went on and
then finally about a year ago there sprang into being,
Bevo?the drink triumphant.
Less than two months after its introduction Bevo had
leaped into such popularity that even our already
large facilities could not supply the demand.
The result is that soon will be completed (built by
public demand) the largest plant of its kind in the
world?daily bottling capacity, 2,000,000 l>ottles.

Col. Cornelius Vanderbilt is Stationed
At Spartanburg.
Sunday afternoon sonic newspajier

at tly ti>nt in the edge of a cotton
jtoji} on the \\*??<a <idi? of \\*>i11 -
worth. There was no floor in I he
tent, and the furnishings consisted of
two camp chairs. Just tliosc two
canip chairs. Nothing more.
The officer looked up pleasantly
and greeded his visitor with u smile
lie was ii rather taill slender man.
with a neatly trimmed Vandyke heard
and a mop of black hair inclined to
!m> curly. He had clear blue eyes and
a ruddy skin which proclaimed plain
and sane living.
The officer was Colonel Cornelius
Vanderbilt, commanding the Twenty
second regiment of engineers, a mil
lionaire a good many times over
one of the wealthiest men in tin* count
try and by odds the wealthiest in
the United States army today. There
was nothing to indicate wealth or lux
ury in his ^surroundings. but he seem
ed to be contented : and in fact, liap
P.v.
Colonel Vanderbilt has been in the
habit of riding around oveV the coun
try in a private car, and if he has
l>een in any imrticular hurry he has
simply ordered out a special train,
for he is a railroad magnate. He
owns railroad stocks and bonds by
the bale, and he owns more than one
entire system outright. But he .came
to Spartanburg frpin New York on a
troop train, which made considerably
less than 20 miles an hour, and he
did not have any special or extra ac
commodations. And he said he en
joyed the trip, v
Colonel Vanderbilt has always been
fond of outdoor life, and the Xation
| al Guard appealed to him on that
account. He liked ?iie spirit of If.
arid after- he got started into it Re
koiiii won promotion. If whs largely

j/jivo n good deal of time and thuoght
to flic work iiimI he became n very
j efficient military man. just as ho is
] efficient ;it everything eh' to which
he gives attention. Tiiat he Is qua II
j lied for the position lie holds goes
i without saying, for if lie were not
j fully capable he would not he colonel
| of the crack regiment of engineers of
i the army, with nil of his wealth.
The position of colonel of a regi
ment is a biggish position, as posi
tions go. hut it is |?y no means the
I biggest position in an army division.
And Colonel Yanderhilt receives and
obeys orders just as he gives them.
He is every hit a soldier, and the
first r.ut.N of a soldier is oliediencc.
If his superior otilcer should tell him
to take n walk of 2<K) miles and come
back and .make a report on the Iojki^
raphv of the country, he would salute
and start on the job. It is his way.
And the men of his regiment are
devoted' to him and they are proud
of him. As a eoriioral remarked yes

breathing spell while grubbing a
stump. "Somebody has to have wealth
