Highway Death
Toll Is Reduced
Chicago, April 29,?The nation's
campaign's to take death off the highways
climbed to a "startling" peak of
Huccess during March, 1936?the National
Safety Council announced today.
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.
Georgians Lynch Negro

that the negro replied "Yes" and he
added he had also robbed Pate.
The senAte commerce committee

KNOW ANY BIGGER?
Though sheep uru being counted by
thousands of Americano nightly, it 1h
doubtful if any of those adopt in tho
art arc even in a close with the sheep
raiser Frank Edwards of Bismarck,
N. Dak., tells about.
A New York bank president and his
secretary were travoling through Mom
tana on the Northern Pacific for the
first time and were very much interested
in the country they spw from
the car windows. At one of the stations
a loading sheep miser of that
part of tho country, Cy Hartman,
boarded the train and after a short
time Joined the Easterners in the
smoking compartment. The conversation,
naturally, turned to Hheep,
whereupon Cy said he could tell at a
glance how many sheep were in a
flock. Soon he had an opportunity to
throve his ability for a large number
of the animals were feeding near the
right of way. Cy was asked to toll
how many were there. 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. At least I divided the legs
by four to get the right number."?
The Pathfinder.
After hundreds of citizens bad
searched for her all night, they found
Mrs. R. D. Arnold, wife of a Laurens
post office worker, In a dazed condition
four miles from town, asleep om
a large rock. Sbe wandered from her
home soon after putting one of her
four children to bed, quietly walking
out of the house.
The Duke Power company lost Its
fight against the Buzzard Roost water
power being built and operated by
Oreenwood county, when the supreme

NEWSPAPER ADVERTISING
There are more than 4,000 department
stores In the United States doing
a business of more than 92,000,000,000
annually.
More than 85 per pent of the purchases
are being made by women.
The department stores do moat of
their advertising in tne newspapers.
Why?
Because every survey has proven
that 90 per cent of the women read
the newspapers for the advertising as
much as for the news.?The American
Brews.
Mrs. Ella Mae McConnell, .28, wife
