The Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company is taking an active part in to life at grade crossings, which haa been iimugurated by the American Railway Last year the railways of the Uni ted States made the beat record for safety of operation they have ever made in the 84 years that accident statistics have been compiled by the Interstate Commerce Commission. The total number of persons of all .classes?employees and non-employ ees?killed on the railroads in 1907 was 11,839. This was the peak year in fatal accidents. The number of fy interefered with the efforts to re duce the number of persons killed on highway crossings. Motorists were involved in 76 per cent of all cross ing accidents in 1920. Yet in 1921 only one half the number were killed as compared with 1907, and probably leas than the number killed in any year since 1899. When it is considered that the total number of persons killed in 1921 was about the same as in 1899, and while the number of employees has increas ed about 140 per cent, the passenger tramc Handled about 226 per cent, and the freight handled about 400 per cent, some idea of the increase in safety of operation which has occurr red especially during the last 15 years, * can be formed. A large part of the safety of opera tion is due to improvement in railroad plant Even more effective has been the education of employees to the ideas of safety. That a safety cam paign is nevertheless necessary and timely, is shown by the fact that in thirty years our country's population increased 68 per cent, while crossing accidents increased 35 per cent in fatal and 662 per cent in injury cases. There are two ways to reduce or entirely stop such accidents. The first in the public mind is elimina tion of the crossings. This is impos sible because there 251 989 highway crossings on the principal railroads alone. At the same rate of elimina tion it will take 629 years to remove these crossings at a cost of 312,600 000,000. All the men and money available would not be sufficient to remove these crossings in a life time. The practical way to decrease acci dents is to STOP, LOOK and LISTEN. ? ? FIRST CAROUNAS JOINT STOCK LAND BANK We are gakl to announce that the First Carolina* Joint Stock Land Bank, with former Congressman Lever, until recently a member of the Federal Farm Loan Board, as Presi dent, and with offices at Columbia, S. C., is to do business in this County. This fact became known when it was learned that D. C. Barnes, Esq., had become connected with this institu tion as abstract attorney, and for the time being, as its local represen tative. When asked for a statement as to methods of operation and terms of loans Mr. Barnes said? "The First Carolines Joint Stock U*edJBanlL>,chartered under the ion of the Federal Farm Loan Board. The present paid in capital stock is $250,000 and $25,000 surplus. The Bank operates very much along the same lines as' ddes the Federal Land Bank of Columbia and under the same supervision. It makes loans only on improved agricultural lands; it does not loan on city property. The proceeds of these loans must be applied for general agricultural purposes. The loans are made direct to the borrower, and the borrower is forbidden to take stock in the Bank. Any person is eligible for a loan through this institution if _ JJli..1 a. *- ?

Loans cannot be made in excess of f)fty per cent of the appraised value of the land and twenty per cent of the appraised insurable value of the buildings, such appraisals being made by officials of the Government. The interest rate is six per cent, payable semi-annually, to which is added one per cent to amortise or kill off the debt over a period of 33 years. In other wards, for seven per cent in terest and pricnipal are paid in 33 years and the debt discharged. Re payment of principal may be made at any time under regulations issued by the Farm Loan Board. The borrower through this Bank is responsible alone for his own debt. There are no com missions that may be charged under the law, nor are there renewals. "I have become connected with this institution because of the benefit I consider it can be to our people at this time and the financial strength of the men back of it, notably among which are J.
