Columbia, Jan. 1.—South Carolina invested more than $25,000,000 in au tomobiles during 1924, representing a substantial increase in the number of cars purchased over the previous year, it was said here tonight by L. H. Thomas, secretary to the state highway commission. The total amount of license fees collected during the year by the high way department was $1,151,983.02, as compared with $902,608.69 collected during 1923 on automobiles and trucks, he said, making an increase of $249,374.33. ( Motorcycles appear to be on the road to extinction, he brought out, the total number licensed in 1924 being 487, as compared with 561 the pre vious year. Marked decreases in this class of motor vehicles ffrom year to year have led to the prediction that the motorcycle will eventually disap pear, giving way to the lighter four- wheeled vehicles. The number of automobiles licens ed iii the state last year was 147,530, as compared with 116,537 in 1923, an increase of 30,993. Trucks numbered 15,852, a gain of 300 over the 1923 total when 12,119 were licensed. Trailers totalled 743, as compared with 455 the previous year. There were 593 automobile dealers, as compared with 545 who held licenses the year before. Regis trations or transfers numbered 5,027, a remarkable gain over the 1923 total when 3,826 were recorded.
