^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.

WHAT AIU: VOl FATING?
1 i.rnvr State Senator 1 honias B.
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. It was the
last of the appropriation bills and

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.

"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

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
