In a recent compilation of railroad statistics the number of passengers killed by the railroads during the year 1909 are placed at 131. As suming these figures to be correct this shows a great improvement, which must be credited to the strict er regula'ion enforced on the rai. roads in consequence of the pubric indignation aroused by their bloody record, and the demand tor tht bet "erment cf i-ils ccniitiou. To fin a time when the number of passen gers killed was as small as it was iast year it is necessary to gv> back twenty years, before railroadb were consolidated and operated to* make dividends cn heavily watered stock. From that time dates the rapid in crease in railroad facilities, which included 610 passengers killed in 1907, and a total of 122,858 persons killed and injureki. The report cited embraced the re turns of 368 seperate railroad com pactes.'"Of'this numkr" 347 did not kill a single passenger. Of the re mainiug twenty-one companies ten operating 27,681 miles and carry ing 185.447,507 passengers, killed one passenger each. This leaves 11 railroads responsible for all the oth er killings. 121 in number, an aver age of eleven passengers each. Among the railroads these stand forth as the butchers. There are railroads which have been operated for years, and which enjoy the distinction of never having killed a passenger during all these years. And then there are other railroads which are such notorious mankillers that they have a heavj mortality list among their passen gers every year. So regularly come reports ef train wrecks on the^e reads, resulting in loss of life, that they never cause any surprise, and this killing has become the subject for ghastly jokes among people who travel on these roads. If one railroad can be operated with such foresight and care as to avoid killing a single passenger, other railroads can do the same. And when 347 railroads are operated without killing a passenger, then it is absolutely certain that these 11 railroads who killed eleven passen gers each were operated with a crim inal disregard to safety, in the ef fort to keep down operating expen ses in order to swell dividend re turns. The proper punishment of the re sponsible managers of these passen ger-killing railroads would soon put them in the class with those other roads, which are .operated, without killing passengers. Cost of Higher Education. The Fort Mill Times sajs "the an nouncement from the office of the State trensurer that the fertilizer tag tax will amount to $ 250,ooo for the current year is a bit of informa tion which should be of int"<rest generally, but of particular interest to the farrai-g classes. This is a ^tax collected from the sales of com mercial fertilizers, 25 cents on eacb ton used in the State, it is turned into the treasury, by the _ fertilizer manufacturers, but ?the tax is of course added to the selling price of the .fertilizers and is paid by the farmers. . "It is suggested that the tax is too high and- should be reduced, which probably is true. Rut the thought on which we would focus attention is the use to which the tax is put and to point out how it could be more advantageously used. Every dollar of the tax goes to the support of Clemson College. Clera son College is a great institution tnd is doing a worthy work in ad vancing the agricultural interests of the State, but Clemson college do s not need $250.000 a year?at least the college dees not need so much revenue from the tag tax. One hun dred and fifty thousand dollars a year for Clemson college would seem a liberal appropriation, with supple mentary revenues from the students. The remaining hundred thousand lollars should go to the public schools. There it would be of great er benefit to the people. ; ?i "Clems'on is not, however, the only State-aided college which is receiv ing.too much money at the expense, of the common schools. The Uni versity of South Carolina is, consid ering the number &i students enroll ed and the work of the institution, quite as extravagantly provided for by the legislature; likewise possibly Winthrop College,. The legislatures of the last few years seem to have lost their equilibrium over the sub ject of higher education.. They have too greatly disregarded the crying reed of the youth of the State for !>etter preparatory schools, unmind ful of the fundamental truth that structures are reared from the ground upward and not from the sky downward. "There is work for the next leg islature in providing a more equita ble and beneficial distribution of the revenues collected for educational purposes, and the people should give the matter thought in selecting the members of the legislature this summer." IxH>kuig Democratic. Collier's Weekly says a Republi can officeholder of high rank and long service asked the writer of this paragraph to take out his notebook and write.down these predictions of election results next tali: Ohio. Democratic by 75.000. Illinois, Democratic by 75,000. New York, Democratic, whether Hughes runs for Governor or not. Massachusetts. Democratic. Maine, Democratic, unless Hale should retire. Since these predictions were made Hale has Mired and Hughes has ac cepted an appointment to the Su preme Hencli. In no other respect have conditions changed. The man who made this prophecy has been a whe l-hcrse for the Republican Party in the last four PrcsiJential campaigns. They Need Ben. The Hendersonville Hustler says Senators Sinvmons and Overman have been getting in. some effective work since the administration rail road bill came up for consideration.
