contributed to the doing away with the agencies of
death.
The Free Press is not informed as to the number of
grade crossings on the line between the two points in
question, but the elimination of ninety-three is certainly
making a good start to get rid of the menace to life and
limb. The gfade crossing is a relic of the past. It has no
more place in modern railroading than the wooden death
trap which, through the telescope route, furnished the
slaughtering place for hundreds of people. The under
pass and over-pass go hand in hand with the modern steel
construction in rolling stock and heavy rails, which are
proving so successful in reducing wrecks and holding
down the casualties, when derialments do occur. The
Southern Railway is to be congratulated on the good
showing, and may the record be only the beginning of a
campaign looking to the riddance or every grade cross
ing on its line.

A SUGGESTION WORTHY OF CONSIDERATION.
The sugxistion, carried in Thursday's Free Press, of
the advisability (,f inaugurating a regular boat service
getween New Bern and Kinstci, making connection with
the proposed Baltimore-New Bern ateamship line, is one
that might prove worthy of consideration. A good deal
of shipping comes into Kinston from Baltimore. The
service by steamship to Norfolk and thence by the Nor-,
folk-Southern, at present affordod, is very satisfactory
from the standpoint of time in transit. A considerable "r
amount of this business, however, could be classed as slow

1 A great many farmers are skepti
j cal about the possibility of making
good permanent pastures in Eastern
j North Carolina and the profit to be
derived from land devoted to good
pastures. The folhwing letter which
was written to County Agent Middle
ton of Grc:ne County, who was for
merly Courtly Acrent for Duplin coun

line:

New, Mr. Farmer, if Mr. Parker
of Duplin county can make such a
success with grass, what is to hind
er ycj of Lenoir county from doing
the same? While it is a little late
in the season to sow now, some are
doing so, and they will bewell re
paid for their time and trouble. The
County Agent has most of the above
named grasses growing in his office
window, and asks all farmers who
may be interested in pastures to drop
in and se; them growing. He will
also be glad to give any information
at his command to those who want .to
