C. 7-G-2tp BE CAREFUL AT RAILROAD CROSSING STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN IS THE KEY NOTE OF SAFETY CAMPAIGN. U The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company is taking an active part in the Careful Crossing campaign, designed to lessen injuries and loss of life at grade crossings, which has been inaugurated by the American Railway association. Last year the railways of the United States made the best record for safety of operation they have ever made in the 34 years that acci-1 dent statistics have been compiled by the Interstate Commerve Commission. The total number of persons of all classes?employees and non-employees?killed on the railroads in 1907 was 11,839. This was the peak year in fatal accidents. The number of fatal accidents has since shown a graduallly declining tendency. Automobile accidents have seriously interfered with the efforts to reduce the number of persons killed on highway crossings. Motorists were involved in 76 per cent, of all crossing accidents in 1920. Yet in 1921 only about one-half the number were killed as compared. with 1907, and probably less than the number killed in .any year since 1899. wnen it is considered mai me total aumber of persons killed in 1921 was about the same as in 1899, and while the number of employees has increased about 140 per cent, the passenger traffic handled about 225 per cent., and the freight handled about 400 per cent, some idsa of the increase in safety of operation which has occurred, especially during the last 15 years, can be formed. A large part of the safety of operation is due to improvement in railroad plant Even more effective has been the education of employees to the ideas of safety. That a safety campaign is nevertheless necessary and timely, is shown by the fact that in thirty years our country's population increased 68 per cent, while crossing accidents increased 845 per | cent, in fatal and 652 per cent, in in- i iurv cases. There are two ways to reduce or entirely stop such accidents. The first in the public mind is elimination of the crossings. This is impossible because there are 251,939 highway crossings on the principal railroads alone. Of this number, 399 were eliminated during 1919. At the same rate of elimination it will take 629 years to remove these crossings at a cost of $12,500,000,000. All the men and money available would not be sufficient to remove these cross ings in a life time. The practical way to decrease accidents is to STOI LOOK and LISTEN! IS NAN ALONE IMMORTAL? JUDGE McWHORTER ANSWERS THE QUESTION WITH OTHER PERTINENT QUESTIONS. Judge J. C. McWhorter of Back hannon, W. Va,, was asiceu oy a friend if he believed that immortal life belonged to man alone. This is his answer: "Why should the spirit of mortal be proud?" Why should man be so vain as to think that he alone, out of all the myriads of created forms of life, is endowed with the attributes of immortality? He alone, we are told in Holy Writ, grieved his Maker and caused him to regret that he had created man at all. Why deny to other forms of life, the immortality we claim for our own? Why assume that in us alone has the Creator planted those virtues which are worthy of perpetual exist-, ence? ! I have seen the divine loyalty and devotion of the dog, faithful unto death. I have seen the noble horse; in natient toil giving his life and! strength uncomplainingly to* thej world, carrying the burdens of civil- ( ization; for civilization has gone only where the horse has gone. I have seen the mother bear placing her living body between her babes and danger, offering her own life for the salvation of her little ones, going to her Golgotha for the sake of her kind. I have seen the robins the sparrows, the cardinals, and all the sweet- j throated songsters of woodland and meadow building their homes, tenderly and tirelessly oaring for their young, showing by their devotion a* the love and solicitude of a Savior Divine. * ' ? ? ? t,1 nifli^ 1 Ilctvc sccil Hi iailov; L^auvuuij^^t |r>nd sinless creatures th^rf^ros of the Christ of Calvan^Rhc virtues of unselfi h love andJervica an . srlfabne^ation?and ?eeinR.

The attention of young men interested in a technical education is directed to the Clemson scholarship announcement appearing elsewhere in this issue. Williamsburg county is entitled to 4 four-year scholarships and 1 oneyear scholarship. Last session the following young men from this county were at Clemson on scholarships: M. B. Kirton. For the session of 1922-1923 there are 3 four-year scholarships and one one-year Agricultural Course scholar ships vacant in this county. A coliege education, viewed merely as an investment of time and of money, is equal to an estate worth thousands of dollars. Viewed, however, from its highest sense such an education prepares a young man for greatest service to his country and places him in a position to enjoy some of the good things of life. Education fits one for a life whose possibilities are limited only by his capacity and his character. NOTICE TO CREDITORS. UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT, EASTERN DISTRICT OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
