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.

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. $h« RUM Of 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 Sunday School Convention of the Noonday Baptist Association, which met here Saturday and Sun day, elected the following officers.

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.
