Pistol Tot ini:, Dots Most of The Killing ’‘Pistol lol'n in io! -r i ii 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.

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. 3 Oranges, 3 Tangerines, 2, 3 and 6 Apples ft r 5 cents, sold at the Variety Store.
