THE DANGER TO
GRADE C
OBSERVE THE WARNING-I
Washington, D. C.-Tho following
lettor has been addressed to the pub
lic by Mr. Fairfax Harrison, president
of Southern Railway Company:
"Tho automobile has greatly In
creased tho comfort and convenience
of life, and lt baa been an important
factor in tho improvement of country
highways and BO has contributed to
tho progress of civilization of our
time, but, just as the railroad did
when it revolutionized commerce, tho
t 'omoblle has introduced new social
complications and new risks, moral as
well aa physical.
"The American people are said to
bo characteristically reckless of hu
man life, and perhaps in nothing is
this statement more justified at thc
moment than in relation to tho UBO of
automobiles-not even the railroads?.
My particular interest in the ques
tion ie, where my public responsibility
Iles, in the combination ot the two
in the accidents which occur to auto
mobiles and their occupants where
highways cross railways at grade: and
this 1B a question of sufficient import
ance to warrant the attention of every
thinking man In the South.
Record For One Year
; "The following tablo shows the ap
palling record of such accidents on
lines operated by Southern Raliway
Company in the South during tho year
ended June 30, 1915.

"Without seeking to avoid Just re
sponsibility for what tho officers or
employees of the railroad do or omit,
but recalling that a railroad employee
whose carelessness causes an acci
dent is, in the puollc Interest, subject
to discipline which affects bis liveli
hood, it ls probably fair to say that
a largo proportion of these accidenta
happened sole'7 through the careless
ness of the drivers of automobiles,
or their lack ot experience In dealing
with vehicles at high speed. There
are among them also well authenticat
ed cases of deliberate assumption of
risk by the drivers ot automobiles
from pure love ot excitement and
?peed, evidenced by racing with trains
and seeking the thrill of a narrow es
cape. Our englnemen report such oc
currences daily. If fortunately they
are without fatal consequences in the
great majority of cases, they are al
ways paid for by a heavy strain on
the nerves ot all concerned, particu
larly those ot the locomotive engineer,
who maintains speed from duty and
not tor fun. lt ls not too much to
claim tor the locomotivo engineer a
larger equipment of experience and a
greater habit of precaution than the
average automobile driver. Aa a class
the locomotive engineers are sober,
steady and conservativo men ot long
experience In meeting and avoiding
risks, for theirs is a dangerous occu
pation. Their every effort ot charac
ter, ot instruction and ot interest is
to avoid an accident Most of the ac
cidents te automobiles at raliway
grade ero aa I noa could be avoided if
there waa the same restraint of ex
perience . and attention at th? wheel
of the automobile as at tho throttle
af the locomotive. <
Public Vitally Inte reatad
"It does not suffice the publie in
any moral sense that the fund made
up of the revendes collected by the
railroad la usually made to respond
fa damages for consequence/, of auch

non or brother for money; on tho other
hand, the collection of duniageB out
of railroad revenues, as a punishment
for an avoidable accident, when there
can be no real compensation, i's an
economic waste; it punishes the pub
lic more than it punishes the stock
holders, as lt deprives the public by
exactly the amount of thc damages
of the ability of the railroad to 'pro
vide additional permanent facilities
for the uso or convenience and safety
of the public. Given the progressive
policy of Southern Railway Company
to make such improvements to the
extent of its ability? lt is of interest
to note that, in the last year a divi
dend was paid by the Company, 8.80
cents of every dollar of revenue col
lected from the public went in pay
ment of damages of all kinds, prac
tically tho samo amount, 3.88 cents,
went to the stockholders, while only
thlrteen-hundredthe of one cent ol
each dollar of revenue could be ?ap
plied on permanent' . improvements.
Such other Improvements ss Were
mode were necessarily charged to now
capital, thereby increasing the de
mands on the fund In Which the pub
lic has BO vital an interest. It would
bc the pleasure of the management
always to apply as much of tho rev
enues on permanent Improvements as
on dividends, it that-was possible.
There is,' then, a basis of interest as
troll as of morals for co-operation be
tween the public and the railroads to
prevent the recurrence of these trag
edies.
"With a deep sense of the respon
sibility of management in this mat
ter and pledging this Company to do
everything in its power which is rea
sonable and consistent with the func
tions for which it was chartered, I ap
peal to tho public generally for such
co-operation in avoiding these serious
and distressing accidents. In practical
ly all cases they can be, and in most
cases are, readily and easily avoided
by the automobile driver acting upon
the familiar warning to stop, look and
listen at railway crossings. While
familiarity with the crossing sign
posts and the regular schedules ot
trains may breed contempt of danger,
6urely every one of us when using a
highway can afford to sacrifice enough
of bin time and his pride of opinion
to have a practical assurance of safe
ty. On the other hand, the demands
of commerce and of public transpor
tation do not permit a railroad to atop
all its trains at all highway crossings:
if that waa possible it would be cheap
er for the railroad to do so than to
pay the damages. It is clear, ho,/ever,
that lt ls necessary that one or the
other of the parties to a crossing shall
stop if tho largest measure ot protec
tion of life and limb and property ls
to be secured, lt not from self-inter
est, can not the automobile driver
yield tho precedence ss a matter of
courtesy to age, for the railroad ls
older than the automobile!
Eliminating Grade Crossings
"The Ideal of safety will be accom
plished only when all grads crossings
of railroads are separated. In this
respect Southern Railway Company ls
doing something every year amt as
much as ita resources and other obli
gation!) make possible: indeed, lt may
be claimed that the Company la,
speaking generally, unking progress
more rapidly than rn oft municipalities
which have an obligation in the prem
ises: but by co-operation of munici
palities and railroads many dangerous
crossings have been eliminated
throughout the Sooth? and more wilt
be every year. Furthermore, on every
blt ot construction work of Southern
Raliway Company now in progress, or
recently completed, involving the re
location or double tracking ot line
(nearly four million dellars has been
spent on such work during the ps it
year), revision bas boen made at
largo additional oxpsase to sep?rete
all important highway crossings of the
revised line, wherever physically prac?
ticable, and this policy will be contin
ued for the future.
"Olven the history of our transpor
tation and highway systems and the
enormous cost of adjusting them to
modern conditions, the elimination of
grade crossings is and in the very
nature of the problem must be a grad
ual development with the growth of
population und wealth, but, meanwbilo.
Rood judgment on the part of all con
cerned can do much to untlclpate the
benefits of tho admittedly desirable
expenditure of large sums of money.
The same sober sense of responsibil
ity for life on the part of automobile
drivers which actuates most locomo
tive engineers, and In addition the
willingness of the automobile driver in
such a high interest to subordinate
his time and convenience to that of
the greater number represented by a
railroad train, can check a waste ot
life and limb and property which is
now increasing every year.
"To this ?nd I appeal confidently for
the counsel of every responsible man
and woman In the 8outh, whether or
not he or she drives an automobil*.
Wcrds of caution and common sense
around the family dinner table can
have more influence and can save
more lives at raliway grade croaalngs
than all thc warning whistles ever
blown by a locomotive engineer."
SOUTH AS GRAIN 8ECTION
EXPLOITED BY SOUTHERN
Atlanta, Ga.-The superlative' ad
vantages of tho South as a grain pro
ducing section will be given great
promlncnco lu exhibits which South
ern Railway, Mobile and Ohio Rail
road, Georgia Southern and Florida
Railway, Virginia and Southwestern
Railway, and affiliated lines will make
at thirty state, district and county
fairs in the North and Middle Wost
during the coming falL
An especially fine collection of
gralnH will be Bhown while thc grass
es and forage ci^p:! exhibited will bo
of very high character. From tho
wheat growing section of thc South,
grain sheaves will be shown from
fields yielding as high as 40 bushels
to the acre, and the character of oth
er exhibits will be In keeping. The
fruits and vegetables to bo shown In
jars Include a wide variety.
These exhibits come from various
districts of the entire territory serv
ed by Southern Railway and affiliated
Unes in Virginia, North and South
Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida,
Mississippi, Tennessee and Kentucky.
They will be shown in Pennsylvania,
New York, Indiana, Michigan* and Il
linois and each exhibit will be attend
ed by agents, well equipped to tell
callers about the various sections ot
the South.
The first two exhibits will be shown
at lairs in Indiana. For all fairs in
eis Middle . West a special exhibit
ht has been provided, arranged so
that a large number of people can
eeo the exhibit at the same time.
Throughout many of the states the
Southern Raliway exhibit bas become
well known and is looked for.
SPLENDID RECORD 18 MADE
IN HANDLING OF PASSENGERS
Atlanta, Ga.-More than sixteen and
a half million passengers-a number
greater than the combined population
of Virginia, North Carolina, South Car
olina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee
and Kentucky-were transported by
Southern Railway during the year end
ed June 30 with only one fatal injury
to a passenger while on a train and
that one was standing on a car plat
form in direct violation ot tho com
pany's rules.
Thia excellent record was shown in
the official figures given out indicat
ing the high degree of safety that
has been attained in tho handling ot
Southern r.-..lway passenger trains.
In marked contrast are figures re
cently given out by President Fairfax
Harrison of Southern Raliway, show
ing that during the samo period
twelve persona riding in automobiles
were killed in accidenta at publia
highway crossings, every dne of which
accidents could have been prevented
bad the driver ot the car observed
the familiar warning, "Stop, Look and
Listen."

Danville, Va-In connection with
the double track work which lt haa
had under way in Virginia and North
Carolina during the past fiscal year on
102.4 miles of ita Atlanta-Washington

64 out of 78 grade crossings. By th:
building of underpasses 20 were elim
inated, by overhead bridges 19, and
by changing the direction of publio
highways 16. The 19 which remain

Its Unes the fixed poUcy of Southern
Railway Company 1? to separate all
Important highway crossings of the

Though thu policy means large addi

taken as a permanent investment for
safety.
Southern Railway baa also co-operat
