criminate carrying of iiiv inns re
sults in more deaths than all rail
road accidents; more than five,
times as many as street car ncci
dents; nearly as many as street
car and raiiroad accidents com
bined, and more than 'wice as
many as automobile accidents.
Figures of the United States
census bureau just compiled on
causes of death for 1915 show
this:
Deaths due to use of firearms in
the registration area of the United
State m 1915 was 7, 94. The area
covers o< per cent of the popula
lion. This is equal to about 12,900
deaths in the entire country or the
equivalent of 11.9 per cent for
each 100,000 of population.
Of these deaths ,*,603 were sui
cide, 2,886 murders and 1,501 acci
dental.
The figures show that nearly
onethird of all deaths iu the United
States were due- to three causes —
heart disease, tuberculosis ind
pneumonia.
Nearly two-thirds were charged
to twelve causes —the three nam
ed, and in addition Bright’s disease
and nephritis, causer, apoplexy,
diarrhea and enteritis, arterial
diseases, diabetes, influenza, dip
theria uid typhoid fever.
Deaths f;om heart diseases
showed a masked increase as
compared with 1900. when the
rate was 120 1 per 100,000 popula
tion. In 1915 the rate was 156.2
in each 100,000.
Tuberculosis* is steadily declin
ing. From 1914 to 1915 the death
rate fell from 200 to 141 8
100,000 population, the decline
being cnnlinuou? from year to
year. This is a drop of more than
25 per cent.
The death rate from pneumonia
has shown a marked decline since
1900, when it was 150.5 per 100,-
000 The 1915 rate was 102 7 per
100,000.
Cancer is on the increase, and so
is the rate of death from apoplexy,
but diarrhoea and enteritis have
shown a marked decline.
Olh r dis■•as--s have been for the
most part u.ea lily reduc 'd in their
mortaiitv rates. In 1915 the d nth
rate per 1,0.40 population wasl.9 5
—tiie lowest on record. Th • most
favorable ;> tr prior to 1915 was
1914, for winch the rate was 13.6
per thousand of population.

; n an, Miy 28-Jjue 2, 191 1, will
ride over one stretch. -IS miles in
length, which was built oy Con
federate soldiers and has remain
id as perhaps th* 1 most perma
neat monument of any work dune
by the Confederacy. This is the
line h» tween Greensboro, N. C,
and Danville, Va., now a part of
tne Smithi rii’s Atlanta-Washing
ton line.
Wht n the war began there wrs
no railroad connecting the Rich
mond and Danville with the North
C irolina system of railroads. The
Confederate authorities saw the
strategic value of such a line and
were able to bring to bear suffi
cient pressure to overcome the
obstacles, wlrch had previously
stood in the way of the construc
tion owing t i tin; rivalry of North
Carolina and Virginia, each State
seeking to protect its own railway
when at the close of the war the
line was confiscated by the United
States as one of the assets of the
Confederacy, there was prolonged
litigation before the Richmond
and Danville secured undisputed
title.
The origin of this line is retner -
bered in many local traditions and
names, among them “Tennessee
Curve” said to have been so call
ed because the grading at tiiis
point was done by men of a Ten
nessee regiment.
Since the Southern Railway un
dertook its extensive improve
ment program this entire line has
been double tracked, but despite
the many improvements that have
been made, the location as deter
mined by the war-time engineers,
has never been changed. So
well did they do their work when
the double tracking was under
taken very few changes were
found necessary and, in the main,
the work was simply the con
struction of a paiallel track.

A completely equipped STEAM VULCANIZING .AUTOMOBILE
TIRE REPAIR PLANT installed in Joel Bankston's Shop is now
ready for business. The plant is complete in every detail—-even the
larger cities having no better facilities for caring patrons' needs.
I can take a tire that is badly v/orn. cut, or snagged and by removing
the defective parts and vulcanizing into them new rubber, make the
tire almost as durable and serviceable as when new.
The first thing I want to do is to gain the confidence of automobile
owners. I realize that trade is won, held, and built on good work
and the confidence of my patrons must be justified by the quality of my
service. Guaranteeing absolute satisfaction in all work, I am,
