The pteril of the road crossing has
become a national problem with the
multiplication oi automobiles.
The Southern Railway System has
eliminated 584 grade crossings, and is
eliminating more every year, but 7,000
remain to be separated on this system
•lone. The total cost to complete the
work is a stupendous sum—probably
half as much aa the coat to build the
railroads.
Even if the money were available,
and the public willing to pay the in
creased freight and passenger rates
necessary to provide a fair return on

at every crossing if they are to be run
at the sustained speed expected by this
public and required to carry the com
merce of the country. The train crosses
a highway about every mile. The mo
torist encounters a railroad only oc
casionally.
It is necessary, therefore, for the
automobile driver to atop l in order to
avoid risk. No one who did this wai

the law now requires such a atop, the

uswrencevme.—Patiently working
through the day and part of the'night
to bore through the floor of the con
vict camp wagon with a screw dr Tier,
three members of the Gwinnett county
gang, two from Atlanta, succeeded one
night recently in freeing themselves,
and esoaped with fifteen minutes’ start
on their guards. Almost Instantly
bloodhounds were rushed to the scene
and set on the trail of the fugitives
while behind ran a posse of camp and
county guards augmented by farmers
from the countryside. The trail, still
fresh, was followed for miles and gave
the officers confidence that the men
had resorted to running rather than
to a train dash.
