Price per fcPPuro 12.00, payable in advance. , ^ Friday, March 13, 1931 WOK8K THAN VVAIt r J J " ^hiring 1H months of the World War, 50,510 member* of the American Expeditionary Force were killed in action or died of wound*. During the 18 month* preceding January, 1031, 50,900 people were killed iy automobile accident* in this country. There could be no bettef , iHustrution of the seriousness of the auto mobile accident* situation. According to a survey by the Travelers Insurance Company, the leading 'cause of accidents in 1930 was failure to give righCof way, which accounted for 15 per cent </f deaths and 31.5 per cent of injuries. Second was excessive speed, which was responsible for 21 per cent of 'all accidents, and third, driving on the wrong side of the road, which totaled 10 p*?r cent. Higher speed is a natural result of improved roads, and cars. ^But the I other two primary causes of accidents -Avhich together accounted for 27 per cent of deaths and 47.7 per cent of injuries?amount to simple ignorance, recklessness or careless- I ness. They show improper ' training I on the part of the motorist, coupled j with inadequate enforcement of traf-l fjc laws. , That such accidents couId be at least partially curbed by ex- J amin rg and licensing laws, and by adequ r.e enforcement of modernized trafl codes, is well wirlvn the limits < plausibility. Iv.. \ year c uroit le and detailed resumes of the previous year's a. eident record are prepared. Study of them should show what enforcement is needed, what can he accom- | plished. A few slates, in .1 period of rising ha/.ards, have managed to appreciably decrease accidents within their borders.-- All other states can do the same. ) Gen. Washington Augustus Clark,' Columbia 'banker, lawyer,, churchman i ami Confederate veteran, died SVtur- j day at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Fletcher S. Brockman, fifteen miles from the capital, The funeral was Sunday afternoon with the session of the First Prerfbyterian church as honorary pallbearers. General Clark was 89 years old and was born on James Island in Charleston county. He attended Mount Zion college at Winu*-. boro, and quit the state university when the Civil war started, going as lieutenant of college cadets. When this company disbanded, he enlisted for the war in the Third South Carolina cavalry, organized the signal corps at Charleston and served in the fortifications there. He was in the surrender of Johnston at Greensboro' at the very end of the war. Then be j planted sea island cotton on James [ Island and later studied law in the ! state university. In 1881. he became | president of the 'Carolina National bank at Columbia and held that posi- ! tion until the bank was absorbed in) a merger. He was a charter member J of the state fair organization, was a i Presbyterian elder for 15 years, and ! active in tmipy public affairs. In I 18t><) he married Miss Esther Virginia Melton of Chester, who died in 1*5''). I ami m 1892 he married Miss R.>,ai rserwicK l.agare, who dfed some years ago. He leaves three sons, three daughters, nnd one brother, besides ten grandchildren, one of whom is Miss Felia Clark, in the faculty of Winthrop college. ith their trap set for big game, the bold robbers, who, unmasked, held up the United States posboffuut at Clemson college last Tuesday morning and secured $5,000 in stamps and $500 in cash, were literally left holding the sack, as &30,IM>0 u> be used as a government payroll a: Clemson failed to arrive the morning of the robbery as the holdup men had expected, it has. been learned on ! reliable information. The two bandits made a clean golawax after holding Postmaster J. Lewis Goodman and two assistants at hay at the po.nt of :e\ol\ei>. The> had been at Clemson for three days t>> acquaint themselves with the la\ ot the land, and e\idently awaiting a - tip from some inside source as ,o the shipment of the money packet. A portion ot the W ickersham commission report not heretofore made public was revealed Tuesday. This section of the report transmitted to the senate, says that in the states of New York, New Jersey, Louisiana and Illinois the Volstead act is not Ix-ing enforced. It is being enforced in Colorado. Gambling in New Orleans makes 'bootlegging a "piker racket," says the report. In New Jersey liquor interests are so powerful as partly to enslave the political forces. Senator Heflin of Alabama, retiring from the senate yesterday, was confined to his room Tuesday with badly strained vocal cords resulting from a two-hour farewell attack on Alfred E. Smith and John J. Rankob j in the Senate Monday mght. / * * " r . r - ' ?la. iA fill frsnr fifcfiSSfi iSm " 1932 Looks Good ..

I'< itrce is chai? mar of the Agricultural Committee of the Columbia Ki-j wanis Club. This committee was in, t'r . ' gram at the meeting last week. It is said to have been one of the most attractive programs ever given the club. Governor Blackwood spoke. The sulbject in general was the consumption of South Carolina products. iMr. Pearce was asked to give 1 he Columbia Record the details for an editorial on the subject. He has done it so realistically that his description is appropriated. The former State Senator writes: "The luncheon which was first served, with the exception of the coffee and sugar, consisted of South Carolina grown or manufactured products exclusively. We were served: okra and tomato soup, string beans, turnip gjreens, country sausage, ipork, Hftam, crackling" bread, rolls, ere a Pi cheese, potato custard with whipped cream, salted peanuts and cigars, all South Carolina products. "At the same time we distributed ^ the members and guests present sample cans of tomato juice, green beans, turnip greens and okra and tomatoes, these items being furnished by various canneries in the State with their compliments. "At the present time there is a surphis of South Carolina canned \cgeta'bles and unless the canneries receive the cooperation of the people j of this State 1 am very much afraid] they will not be in position to Con-1 tract with the fanmer for the max-J itnti.tr .mrotini m vygesisrMes, i?mo> other .products for the next canning season. "The people of South Carolina need to have this fact brought home to them as we are quite sure they will cooperate if they know the true situation as it exists. We have enough consumers in our own State to handsomely support our canning factories, if they will ask for. and demand South Carolina grown products when making their purchases. "The question of production is no longer a problem, for it hus been proven that our canned products are J j just as good as those produced any- j i where else, and with the iodine content featured in connection with our | j vegetables, should be an easy mat-j tcr for the people of South t arohna materially to benefit the farmer?. b\ I asking for. and buying South Carolina products, thereby enabling the producers to find a ma kel f >r their products ami keep the ) money at ' home at the -ame time "I think it would be a good idea ; if all of the various service clubs of j the State would become interested ir. i this matter ol distribution in order j that a real and genuine service may I be rendered to the people of our j State. "I might also state that the cheese I factory located :.t Greenwood, S. j is distributing its product to the conj sumer through the retail grocers just 1 as the canners are doing."?Columbia ! Record. v The United States senate on Tues; day night adopted the second defii eiency appropriation bill carrying j $75.000,000 t?__be immediately availj able, adjusting differences between the house and senate.

' ' ? rr V \ .? ,' . v . Clemeon College, March 9.?'"Thf> key to the Muocoaa of voryi effort at agriculture! betterment ia'the farmer himeelf," ..ay a G. H. Aull, a |H? latent director of the South Oaroiipa Experiment Station, discussing the slow-, neaa of some fer.rm'rs to fdopt new idea* and practice^; "for 00 matter how diligent may be the scientist in his endeavor to meet ai*l solve every problem which farmers are likely to encounter, no matter how active unci persuasive the county agent in hia effort to put into full force and effect the findings of .the research wroker, the firvpl decision must yet be mude by the farmer; he it is who determines whether the service will or will not benefit him. "Farming," Mr. Aull continues, "may not be the only occupation in which men may fail and yet continue to engage in, hut it is certainly a classic example of such. If failure were a certain cue for farmers to give up fanming we should soon find ourselves rid of 'backward' farmers and our land would be occupied wholly by' intelligent, wide-awake and successful citizens. Hut not so; the backward may fail and continue to farm even to such a degree that Che intelligent and progressive find it difficult to maintain a . satisfactory standard so low is Che standard of their failure competitors. I could cite a number of convincing illustrations where an exceptionally high class of farmers has been entirely displaced by other classes of "inferior' ability and lower standards of living. I irtjfer especially to specialized farming groups in the West where the .Japanese, have 'bought out' many of the best farms. "Our own problem, I am convinced, is not so much the result of competition witih any inherently inferior stock, but with a large number of individuals w'ho just don't, care. For the innumerable inexpensive and even costless 'improvements' so greatly needed on almost every fanm place ambition and energy are in a great many instances about the only requirements. The ludk .of these affects not only the unambitious and lazy farmer and his family but the family of every other farmer." "Farmers are not alone in this Regard," concludes Mr. Aull, who adds thnt all of us are inclined to *pend more time and thought in conten\pfcation of the happiness we would derive from the money we do not than in taking advantage of the t>p? portunities not only to add to <5t?r happiness now but also to increase our-income later. * Dr. William B. Burney, head of the department of chemistry of late and a member of the faculty of the University of South Carolina for more Chan fifty years, died at the Columbia hospital at 4:25 o'clock Saturday morning following an iilness of several weeks. He underwent a serious oj>eration about two weeks prior to his death and from this he never rallied. Says "Masierai is Wonderful" "Friends could see I was a sick man." said Mr. J. H. Simpson, of 434 Kingston street, Spartanburg. "They told me Masteral was the thing to take for stomach troubles and persuaded me to try it." MR. J. H. SIMPSON "I would have awful gas pains after eating and my heart would flutter at the least exertion. I was constipated all the time and my -blood had gotten in bad shape from the poisons in my system. I didn't have any appetite, but what Tittle I at? disagreed with me and I had become so weak and run down I coukl hardly drag around. "I could fpel Ma.-teral helping itit* right away. After taking th-ee bottles my system was cleaned out, the constipation relieved and I wasn't I bothered with indigestion. .My apj petite is great, food tastes good now, J and 1 can eat anything I like without suffering from gas."
