The number Of lives saved was the highest since the council opened its safety drive, and two and a half times the average set in the council's fiveyear goal. "Our efforts are beginning to show a decisive effect," said K. L. Forney, council statistician, pointing out that March was the second month to show fewer accident deaths than in the preceding year. The March figures ? Forney described them as "startling reduction" ?brought deaths for the first quarter of 1936 nine per cent below the first three months of 1935. The goal of the campaign is a seven per cent cut each year for five years. Translated into lives, the quarterly percentage was a saving of 650 individuals. In January, February and March of 1935, death came on the highways to 7,500 persons; in the same months of 1936, 6,850 persons died. Mainland Bridge To Key West Is Burned Key West, Fla., May 1.?Flames Thursday destroyed two-thirds of the 3,000-foot wood bridge linking No Name and Big Pine Keys, dealiug a heavy blow to the picturesque city that has been fighting, with Uncle Sam's assistance, to come back as a tourist city. Deprived of railroad by the Labor Day hurricane, Key Westers feared the bridge destruction would mean loss for an indefinite period of their remaining connection ? other than boats?with the Florida mainland insofar as tourist travel was concerned. Thirty-five stonecutters on a WPA project at Mount Airy, N. C., went on a strike Thursday for higher pay. Under the regulations it is impossible to meet the Btrlkers' demands and the project has been closed.

INDIAN BURIAL 8ITE laT* WA8HED UP BY PEE DEE Wadesboro M. & I. Last week E. D. Caddy and his hod, Tom Dunk Caddy, formerly of Wudesboro, but who now live on the J. A. I^eak plantation In Richmond county, diHcovered an old Indian burying ground a Hhort distance from the thoroughfare on the Leak land. The overlying earth had been washed away by the recent high waters of the Pee Deo. One complete skeleton of u^UUd and many other hones wore exposed, also many bowls, pipes and other pottery. There were also Htnall stone objects which may have been used for money. There were man> arrow heads as always with Indian remains. The bones, except for the complete skeleton, were lying in confusion and some of them were broken, but as far as the action of the elements is concerned, they were in a good state of preservation. There was one earthenware bowl like contrivance which looked as if it might have been used as a coffin for some one of importance. The flood waters also washed up some remains of Indian civilization on the J. S. Teal place farther down the river, but apparently nothing of any importance. There have heen many visitors at the site since the Indian remains were found, and there was a big crowd there Sunday. FOUR PAINTING HINT8 Painting will give the old house a cheerful new outlook. It will take on a new lease of life and can stand more proudly with Its neighbors. Four paint suggestions everybody should keep in mind are these from the current Progressive Farmer: When you let your painting contract, or if you buy the paint yourself, be sure to explain to your painter or your dealer Just how good a Job you wish. . Most painters and dealers wish to see a good painting Job. done, but in paint as in every other commodity, there are several grades, and you will get Just what you pay for Bear in mind that the material Is the smallest end of the Job. The labor cost will be Just the same for putting on poor paint as good. So buy good paint, not the cheapest. The exterior of a house requires a special kind of paint to withstand the elements; porch floors and steps need a paint that will dry harder and stand up under rough usage. Give your dwelling house at least two coats of good paint every four years. This plan Is far better than giving it one coat every two years, as the paint will last longer and give more protection to the woood.

He glanced over the flock momentarily, then took out a stub of a pencil and an old letter. He figured on the back of the envelope a minute and said, "I counted the legs and there should be 1,102 sheep there, but I noticed one of them I had only three legs?through some accident, I suppose?so maybe there are only 1,101 3-4 sheep, but I think 1,102 1b right.
