SAVING LIVES.
Over at Union a few days ago sev
eral people were killed at a railroad
crossing, the automobile in which
J cfrn/>1r K\r g
xney were numg _
fast passenger train on the railroad.
As suggested by the Greenville News,
the accident is one which might oc
cur almost any day, because there
are many such crossings in the-state.
It is only because of the care and
foresight of people generally that
there are not more of these accidents
Perhaps in some instances the acci
dents might be prevented if people
on+AwiftWlflo ncorl nrrfinarv c-are
ill aubvuivvuvtf V4wv v* ?? ?. ?? ^
for their own protection. But in
many cases the accidents occur not
withstanding the use of all necessary
and proper precautions.
The accident at Union was caused,
it seems, by the fact that the auto
mobile stopped on the track of the
railroad while the crossing was be
ing made. The train may not have
been in sight. If the driver of the car
had "stopped, looked and listened,"
it is possible that he may not have
discovered the fast-coming train, be
cause it must be considered that a
train which runs forty miles an
hour, goes 1170 yards every ten
minute, or nearly 20 yards each
second. In ten seconds the train
would cover a distance of 200 yards,
in thirty seconds it would cover a dis
tance of a third of a mile. The occu
pants of a car which stops on a
railroad track could hardly be ex
pected to leave the car in thirty sec
onds, so that if a train were within
a third of a mile of them at the time
the car stops, a collision is unavoid
able. Again a driver who stops his
automobile and the engine on ap
proaching a crossing does not there
by secure himself against danger. By
the time the car is cranked and
started, and the change made from
low, to intermediate gear and then
to high gear, a train may run sever
al hundred yards, and it may be up-]
on the automobilist seeking to make
the crossing before the crossing can
be cleared. '
It is for the reason that collisions j
are inevitable so long as we nave
grade crossings that The Press anil
Banner concurs with suggestions of
the Greenville News that all such
crossings should be eliminated. It
will cost something, to be sure, to
do this, but the railroads and the!
public may each assume a part of
the cost and profit by the expendi-j
ture. The saving of a dozen lives j
in the state within a twelve month,
or even one-half that number,
should be considered by both par
ties amply repayment for all ex
penditures for the purpose.
In the meantime the railroads
and the county authorities of the
several counties should take pre
cautions to see that accidents at
crossings are reduced to a mini
mum, and looking to that end, all
grade crossings should be kept in
proper repair. A rough crossing
may at anytime cause an automo
bile engine to stop, or some part of
the car to become broken, with a
resulting accident. The crossings
should be kept open to the train_
men and to the public so that the
one may discover a coming auto_
mobile just as the other may see
the oncoming train.
And it would not be too much to
ask that the railroad commission
spend some of its time in inspecting
all grade crossings in the state,
especiauy on roaas wixn last
trains, with a view to having these
crossings made safer for the pub
lic. There are crossings which are
veritable death traps and all such
should be condemned by the Rail
road Commission.

LONG DELAY FORECAST
FOR BONUS BILL
Washin|gton, June 6.?Formal
presentation of the soldiers' bonus
bill to the senate on Thursday is the
present plan of Chairman McCum
ber of the senate finance commit
tee. The bill will be accompanied by
the usual printed report and in ad
dition Senator McCumber expects
to address the senate briefly on
the subject.
The measure will be sent to the
senate calendar to remain until an
agreement is reached to call it up.
There appears to be little pressure
for early consideration of the bill,
and some Republican leaders are
of the opinion that it will not be
taken up until after the admini
stration tariff bill is out of the way.
The tariff measure will have to 'be
sidetracked this month for several
important appropriation bills and
conference reports and there is
strong opposition on the majority
