TO
TRIBUTE TO MRS. THOMAS.
i
The people of Chatham county and
friends elsewhere will feel keenly the
death of Mrs. Francis E. Thomas,
which occurred | Nov. 16th, 1923. j
Mrs. Thomas had only been sick a
few days. The family with the help
of nurses, and physicians tenderly
did all in their power for her, but God
sent His angel to earth and plucked
one of His precious jewels. j
During her illness there was no in
tense suffering or pain, but simply a i,
yielding of will and life in the hands
of the Master, she had faithfully fol
lowed for 58 years. The same spirit
of self-denial, gentleness, meekness,
and every courage was demonstrated
in the last days of her life. Her words
and expression proved that she was
willing and ready to meet her Master j
face to face.
We will miss her around the old!
home, in the homes of all her children, !
the homes of her many friends and at
Gum Springs church, where she at
tended regularly since becoming a
member at 13 years of age.
When we think of her departure
from earth, we are reminded of the;
lines of Bryan—
* * * “sustained and soothed,
by an unfaltering trust,” * * *
and thus may we submit to the will
of Him who reached down His hand •
and took dear Mrs. Thomas to live
with Him.
The unusually large crowd of loved
oces and intimate friends, that attend
ed the funeral and burial at Gum
Snrings cemetery, covered the grave
with beautiful flowers and left her
to rest.

SOUTHERN RAILWAY
SYSTEM
—mu - ~ — mm —"
For your own protection —
The peril of the road crossing has
become a national problem with the
multiplication of 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
alone. The total cost to complete the
work is a stupendous sum —probably
half as much as the cost 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
it, many years would be required to
do the work.
Protection from the peril for the pres
ent generation at least must be found
It is better business to seve m life than to save a minute . '-*•
Personal Responsibility
(Reprinted from the Saturday Evening Pott)
Final dependence for a reduction
in the number of railroad grade
crossing disasters must be placed
upon the individual’s sense of re
sponsibility. If when approaching
and crossing a railroad at grade
the traveler will think of that cross
ing as a zone of danger to him,
and regard himself and those with
him as in imminent danger until
the crossing is completed, the
chances of accidents will be auto
matically reduced to the minimum.

in some other way. Trains cannot stop'
at every crossing if they are to be run*
at the sustained speed expected by the
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 stop in order to*
avoid risk. No one who did this was
ever killed. In North Carolina, where
the law now requires such a stop, the
number of road crossing accidents on
our lines has been reduced one-halL
