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.

Opportunity to Enter Clemson.
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.
