“Thirty years ago, Mr. Average
American, you took eight annual
railway journeys, and now you take
twelve. Then you rode 24 miles each
trip, and now you go 38 miles. Not
withstanding you ride half as many
more times now, half again farther
each trip and doubtless spend half
as much more time in railway travel
yet the danger to your life is less
than half as great as it used to be.
Ifyou have ridden once in the last
33 years, your chatiees of being
killed were one in 91,000.000, or.
if you have taken one trip each year
during that period, you came as
near losing your life as one is near
to 2 760,000. One ride taken last
year imposed a hazard on your life
of only one in 5,673,000 and on
your twelve customary journeys,
you were as for from jeopardy as
473,000is greater than 1. Alto
gether,the railways of the United
States carried in 1920 about 1,300 -
000,000 passengers, with one killed
for each group of 5,673,000 carried,
while in a total of 472,000,060
people carried in 1889, the death
rate was one in 1,523,000. The dan
ger to life of railway travlers in
1920 was therefor less than one-
third of what it was in 1889 most
of the reduction accuring since
1907. To be Hure there ltave been
very bad years and exceptionally
good years, but the general trend
throughout the whole period has
been decidedly toards the increasing
safty of the traveling public.

C. F. VAUGHN REC. SEC.
The Deceased Mr. Howard Woody
who died, Jan. 25th, confess his sins
about eleven years ago. He had nev
er made an open confession to any
one until last summer during the
Revial Meeting at the Baptist
church, he confessed to his wife
desire to live for God; although he
had never joined any church, he. be
lieved in the Missionary Baptist
Church and tried to live according
ly. He was always honest and truth
ful and tried to, live a Christian life
to the best of his ability. During the j
meeting, Mr. Lewis Jones talked to
him about his souls salvation which
thrilled him and caused him to talk
to his wife. He attended Sunday
School regularly and always enjoyed
it. A few days before he died he
asked for Bro. Moody and told him
he was trusting in Jesus the very
best lie could. A few days before he
died he was heard by Mr. Harvey
Barnes calling on the Lord in Pray
er. They were alone in the room and
he called him to the bedside and
asked him to stay with him. In a
few minuteshesmiled as if to say,
‘‘It is finished,” He never knew any
more, that was sufficinet for the
family and friends to know. He is
now at rest with our Heavenly
Father at the house not made with
hands.

steel and snow for over eight hours,
during which time she suffered un
told agony, she never lost conscious
ness, it is said.
Her escort for the evening, Wil
liam Galloway, a George Washing
ton university student, occupying
the seat beside her, escaped with
out serious injuries.
According to stories told by Mr.
Galloway and others, he and Miss
Upshaw had been in the theater
30 minutes before the fatal crash
came. There was a dull crunching
thud of snow, he said, a strident
clanging of steel, followed by a
roar of falling concrete and girders,
In relating his experience while
iffyprisoned underneath the debris,
Mr. Galloway said thnt he was res
cued three hours before Miss Up
shaw.
“During the six hours in which
we were pinned beneath the wreck
age,” he said. “Miss Upshaw und 1
conversed most of the time. She
did not appear to be fully conscious
of her injury, pains being lost in
the distraction of the dying, who
were all about us, although she, of
course was suffering intense agony
all the while.”
It was not until 3 o’clock, at
which time Mr. Onlknray was ex-
trocated, that MiRs Marion Upshaw,
sister of the injured woman and sec
retary of Congressman Upshaw, wbr
finally sure of her sister’s fate.
Upon leaving the Octavia apart
ment, where Representatives Up
shaw and his nieces reside, the ill-
fated couple did not state definitely
to which amusement house they in
tended going. After recelvin news
of the disaster, the elder Miss Up
shaw hurried to the scene, where
she kept a tireless virgil until her
sister was found.
Immediately upon Mr. Galloway's
rescue, Misr Upshaw’s location and
condition were given, nad all atten-

The Noonduy Association is com

nent Sunday School workers from

tion was directed at once to her re
covery. It was a tedious task, how
ever for upon her lower limbs,
which from the chill of snow and
weight of concrete were now dead
ened, n mass of tangled steel almost
unsurmountable lay. Finally, two
hours later, or at 5 o'clock in the
morning, she was extricated.
Following the physician's report
ut the hospital that transfusion
would in al) likelihood be necessary
to save the young woman’s life,
fifteen volunteered blood for the
operation. Tests of these have nl-
eardy been made and six of the lot
were found to he complements. It
is probable that transfusion will
take place during the night.
Scenes around the theuter today
have been but a repetition of the
gruesome sight which prevailed
during the night. Additional bodies
of the dead are continually being
brought forth by the tireless work
ers within the bleak walls, which
bear witness of the gravest tradgegy
ever experienced by the nation’s
capital.
Countless stories of individual hero
ism are heard form all sides, one of
which, bearing on a former Georgia
man, is the case of Congressman
Smithwick, of Florida, who enjoyed
a miraculons escape.
Representative Smithwick who
a native of Cherokee county, and
whose wife was Miss Jessie Veroen,
of Moultrie was seated in the balc
ony of the theater at the time of it*
collapse. By the impact of the fall
ing roof he was hurled into the pit
below where he was buried for sev
eral hours before being rescued.
During bis imprisonment Represent
ative Smithwick, who escaped 'with
minor injuries, personally directed
the work of rescurers in reaching
those about him who were more se
verely injured. Although he himself
could not be seen he yelled orders to
excavators and was instrumental in
locating a number of bodies, both
living and dead, which otherwise
might have remain unfound.
