Things That Count
Not what we have?but what we use.
Not what we see?but 'what we
choose,
These are the things that mar or
bless c
The sum of human happiness.
The things near by, not things afar,
Not what we seem, but what we
arc,
Those are the things that make or
break,
That give the heart its joy or ache,
\'ot as we take, but as we give,
Not as we pray, but as we live,
These are the things that make for
peace
both now and after time shall
cease.

ROtJTHBRN 8KRVR8 SAFELY
Only One PtMenK?r Out of Thirteen
Million Killed

place in the South is ou the
trains of the Southern," says a statement
issued by the safety department
of the road, pointing out that duriug
1925 the Southern maintained its excellent
record for traneporting safely.
"During the year 1926, there were
handled on the trains of tlje Southern
Railway system a total of 18,451,637
passengers, "and of these the only
person to lose his life was an employee,
not on duty, who was not riding
in the space provided for passengers
but who, nevertheless, must
be classed as a passenger under the
rules of the Interstate -Commerce
Commission for. reporting accidents.
"The high morale of the men opcrating
the Southern's trains, the excellence
of its roadbed, and the use
of modern protective devices and all
steel passenger train equipment have
combined to produce a situation in
which it is literally true that the'
safest place in the South is on the
trains of the Southern."
