CA8UAI/TIES OF THE ROAD
Three Killed and Fifty-Three Injured
During Month of March
? Fewer deaths occurred in acci-,
dents on state highways during
March ? than during any month in
?South Carolina for more than a year
?only three persons being: killed?
according to the acx^dent report
given out yesterday by C. H. Moore
field, state highway engineer.
Twenty persons were seriously in
jured, however, and 33 received minor
injuries. The death list often runs to
ten or above, and not since the'de
partment began its record of acci
dents in November, 1923, has such a
low figure for deaths been reached.
The decided drop in the numbe^ of
deaths is of course encouraging to
highway department officials, who
with other agencies have been con
ducting a campaign for safe driving.
Of the 62 accidents during the month
30 were caused "by reckless driving.
The report, as compiled by Robert
G. Thomas, engineer in charge of rec
! ords of the department, follows:
j" According to report's received by
the state highway department, there
wepe 62 accidents occurring on state
highways in March. Three persons
were killed, 20 were seriously injured
and 33 received minor injuries.
There were 27 collisions between
motor cars, one of them being park
ed, two with other vehicles, and three
with bther objects. Sixteen cars were
overturned, 20 were driven off roads,
55 were seriously damaged and 20
were slightly damaged. Four horses
were killed. There were six acci
dents at public road crossings, and
two on or at bridges.
Twenty-eight of the accidents oc
curred in the day time and 34 after
dark. Forty-four were on straight
roads, 15 on curves, eight on paved
roads and 44 on unpaved roads. Thirty
of the accidents were reported as
caused by careless driving, 14 by
speeding, six by recklessness due to
liquor, eight by dazzling headlights,
one by no lights, and five by defect?
of the car.
"One person was killed when car
overturned, one was killed by car col
liding with telephone pole, and one
pedestrian was a child killed on side
of road by passing car."?Tuesday's

Ella Zemp, reporte<l the work finish*
ed, the flags purchased. There are
the much loved Southern Cross, the
battle flag of the Confederacy. The
chapter voted to give sixteen of them
to the Camden schools. A motion
was made and carried that the new
flags could not be used for any pur
pose save memorial. Also that the
large flap, given in trust to the
chapter by the old Memorial Associ
ation could not be loaned again as
the sentiment that clusters around it
enhancevs its value. It baa more than
material value to the chapter and we
'trust that the public will understand
and appreciate the position. The
flags that the chapter wiN be glad
to loan for any public occasion are
to be kept by Mrs. F. Leslie Zemp,
and those for chapter use only by
Mm. K. B. Sill.
