16 KILLED, HURT.
fcv
Completes Record of Accidents on
Lines in State in 1913.
f
Columbia.
Jan. 3.?Sixteen persons
were killed and ninety-three injured
kZ . I
in accidents on railroads in South
Carolina in 1915, according to the
annual report o; tiie raitroaa compW:
^
mission to the general assembly. Of
the people killed four were passengers
and the other dozen railroad employees.
The commission says that
...
careful and painstaking investigation
on their part has "failed to disclose
criminal carelessness on the part of
.-the railroad employees," and states
that they will use every effort to get
a more proper observance of the safety
regulations.
The express, telephone and telegraph
companies operating in South
Carolina have been ordered to report
| all accidents promptly to the commisf"V
. sion, as is required of the railroads.
The three interurban railways of
HR* the State, the Piedmont and North
!'V, ern, the Cliarleston-Isle of Palms
I':*; Traction company and the Augusta&>;
Aiken Electric Railway company, are
declared to be in good'condition. AtpKi.
tention is called to the separation of
fe the races on the Aiken-Augusta line
and the improvements in the Isle of
^ Palms line by the building of a concrete
trestle between Mount Pleasant
and Sullivan's Island and in reinforcing
the trestle between Sullivan's Island
and the Isle of Palms.
New Rail Laid.
During the year 1915 131 miles of
I new 80 and 85-pound rail were put
down on the main lines of the railroads,
replacing lighter rail, and 66
I miles of relay rail were put down on
branch lines. Approximately 90,000
| cubic feet of stone and gravel ballast
B have been put in; roadbed drainagd
has been greatly improved by
placing of concrete and iron pipes in
culverts or waterways, and the renewal
of crossties has been up to the
average. "It appears to be the policy
of the larger lines to bring their roadbed
improvements up to the highest
1 and most modern standards," says
S trie report. |
: Great improvement is noted in the
terminal and track facilities, which j
has prevented congestion. "We commend
the railroads for the steady im-j
* provement of their roadbeds and|
track," says the commission, assert-!
ing that "the physical condition of
the railroads is better and nearer the
standard of perfection thpn ever be
fore in this State." In another part
' of this same paragraph, in speaking
^ of the "safety first" propaganda and
lipl&uthe attention given this matter, the \
commission says: * "In spite of the
financial depression of the past two
^ years the railroads have steadily kept
Epte their maintenance of way with ad?
ditional improvements."
HThe replacing of wrooden coaches
S&iwith all steel structures is commendJ
ed. Attention is called to the grad^al
restoration of trains which were
BgP' : taken off during the depression a
llpil 7ear a&?fe
Steel Keplace* Wood.
) The substituting of steel trestles
pfe for wood ones has been widespread,
and today three-fourths of all railroad
trestles in South Carolina are
concrete. Very few wrooden trestles
tf i are left on the main lines. After the
issuance by the commission on March
^ 6, 1911, ordering the replacing of all
< wooden trestles by modern, substan
- * -Li 1 J. ^
' tiai structures, me voiai cusi tu mc
l\.: railroads in carrying out this order
Eh* to June 30, 1915, was as follows:
5 . Filling trestles, $219,278.80; ballasted
deck trestles, $343,919.10; steel
bridges and viaducts (including fill'
ing approaches,) $1,413,225.10; a total
of $1,976,422.80 spent by the
roads on this item alone in South
Carolina in that time.
During the past year there were
erected six new depots, four were en.Vv
-.'' T
larged, five passenger shelters built,
while there is one new depot under
t-r construction. >
",V Attention is called to-the extension
pt'~ by the Carolina, Atlantic and West;
em of its line from Andrews to Charge
leston, a distance of 57.4 miles, and1
of the absorption of this system by i
t ; the Seaboard Air Line.
The commission refers to its efforts
*^ ^linrvino frtrnccincro Vint cava
iu cinainaic &i aut vi uouiuqo, .<*. c
that while it has authority over such
crossings, it has not the power to prorate
the expenses of either eliminator
ing or making the safety appliances
more perfect.
Danger of Tresspassing.
Attention is called to the danger of
tresspassing upon railroad property.
5v; ^
During the past year fifty-two trespassers
were killed and 122 injured
in this State. The commission directs
the attention of the general assembly
to the need of remedial legislation
to 'protest the people against
themselves and will stop this great
and ever-increasing loss of life."
The commission calls attention to
the fact that the Carolina, Atlantic
and Western, having been absorbed
by the Seaboard Air Line, after the
first of last month, the two and onehalf
cent passenger rate, standard
freight tariff and continuous mileage
went into effect and became operative
on that as the other roads of the
State.

T.he changing of the express rates
from the old mileage basts to the zone

says the workings of the interstate

in this State "and a great benefit
to the public." Attention is called

IX FA YOB OF LKYKU BILL.
Agricultural Committee Beports on
Warehouse i aspect ion.
Washington, Jan. 22.?The Lever
bill for license and inspection of ^
warehouses for staple and not per- ar
ishable agricultural products was dc
favorably reported to the house toa
f
day by the agricultural committee. ^
Chairman Lever said he expected the a
house to act upon the measures with- st
in two weeks.
"The farm marketing machinery
in this country has been demonstrated
by the war to be seriously weak," 2?
says the committee's report. "The of
02
inauguration under this bill of a per- ^
missive system of warehouses under
federal license and bond would go
far in the direction of standardizing
warehouse construction, storage conditions,
insurance, accounting, financing
and handling and marketing farm Pi
products.
"Cotton, grain, wool, tobacco and
like farm products furnish the very si:
best security for procuring credit. Y<
yet collateral based on farm products ^
is rated as secondary. We are seek- jn
ing in this bill to put farm products be
in such position as to assert their ce
full value and strength through a _,
system affording negotiable invest
ment, by the use of a warehouse re- I
ceipt of such undoubted integrity I
that it will flow into the general sys- I
tern of securities and become realiza- I
ble upon at any time in the general
market. The bill proposes to bring
all parts of the country into the
closest commercial afid financial re- J
lationship." 5

Senator Bob Tiaylor, of Tennessee, ?
says the Pittsburg Chronicle-Dis- T<
patch/ often told of how, when he
was "Fiddling Bob" governor of that
State, an old negress came to him _i
I Wl
and said: j pi
"Massa Gov'na, we's mighty po' I Q
this winter and ah wish you would J
pardon ma old man. He is fiddler _
same as you is and he's in the penitentiary.'"
'
"What was he put in for?" asked
the governor. ^
"Stead of workin' fo' it that good
for nothin' nigger done stole some
bacon." ?
"If he was good for nothing, why
do you want him pardoned?" asked
the governor.
"Well, yo' jsee, we's all out of bacon
again," said the old negress in-'
nocently. ^
