Traffic Deaths Decrease In May Traffic deaths In South Carolina decreased 26 per cent during the | month of May. according to the monthly summary of motor vehicle accidents released today by the State Highway Department. "Twenty-five persons wore killed In, automobile mishaps, nine less than the death toll of 34 In April." said Wilbur S. Smith, traffic engineer. Two hundred eighteen Injuries wore reported, of which sixty were serious and 158 alight. Of the 270 accidents reported, 9 per cent were fatul, 43 per cent non-fatal Injury accidents, and 47 per cent property damage, aB compared with the April accidents, 13 per cent of which were fatal. 46 per cent nonfatal, and 41 per cent property damage accidents. Fewer violations by drivers were reported. The violations, totalling 270 wore lead by "Driving too fast for conditions," accounting for 18 per cent. Nine of the fatal accidents Involved excessive speeding. Next In seriousness came driving on the wrong side of the road, comprising 15 per cent of the violations, and being a factor In six fatal accidents. Five fatalities of children from infancy to fourteen years of age were noted in May. as compared with two In April. The fatalities by age groups are; Up to 4 years, 2; 5-14 years, 3; 116-24 years, 9; 25-44 years, 7; 45-64 years, 2; 65 and over. 1; age not stated, 1. Fourteen persons over 45 years oi age were killed in April, as contrasted with only three In May. Injuries by age groups show a 35 per cent increase In the 25-44 year bracket, and a 75 per cent decrease among those 65 and over. Classification -of accidents according to type shows that mishaps involving pedestrians increased slightly, as did collisions with other motor vehicles, bicycles and non-collisions. A 51 per cent drop In accidents Involving fixed objects Is evidenced. Of the 431 drivers involved In accidents, 380 were male, 43 female, Mid the sex of eight not stated.

Nineteen of the fatal accidents oocurved in open country, three In residential sections, two In rural communi ties, and one In an Industrial section. Comparison with accidents on State highways In May with last year's re* ords for the same month reveals a 17 per cent decrease In fatalities, only nineleen faUTUles being shown for the month in 1938 as compared with 23 for. the same period In 1937. One hundred forty-eight persons were In Jured In May, 1938, as compared with 97 in May, 1937. f ' Despite the fact that the Japanese hatd warned foreign ships to stay oul of the Yangtxe river within a certain stretch of about 200 miles, where Ja panose armies we operating, Rear Ad , miral Harry B.

MANY DOCTORS AND FEW CURE8 The Congressional It word la tilled with all sorts of doctrines. compluints, panaceas, and specifics One will toll ua that munoy la not circulating, and tho cause. Another blames the Fed* eral Reserve Ranks, established to prevent panics, which brings on panics for selfish purposes. There Is much ground for this accusation. Wo vividly remember what u leading Federal Reserve banker did In 1920. Senator Logan, of Kentucky, In our Judgment, hits the nail on the head. Ho said that as soon as our prices for commodities, as well as cotton and grulu, go up,' there arises an immediate cry of "high cost of living." The Federal Reserve Ranks then proceed to curtail credit and forte prices of commodities, but not salaries and appropriations, down, i-iogan and others think that restraints must be put uopn those banks and their cruel practices. Others argue that there must be a further revision of the gold standard. Another class of world fixers tell us that soaring and uncertain taxation has sent the wealth of the country into hiding, and it will not come out to build industrial enterprises for putting, people to work. Still others believe that people are not disposed to work and save any more, with the government's plans of meddling into all kinds of business, with handouts and easy hours. . ' There are many other causes of outtroubles and unrest, mentioned by a variety of leads, good, bad, and indifferent. In our humble judgment tho main disease and the remedy in part, at least, has been overlooked and Ignored. ? j Only a short forty-eight years ago. the t>opulatlon of this country was, in round numbers, sixty million people. It 1b now 130 million. More than doubled in less than half a century. That, of Itself, goes a long way towards explaining why there are between eleven and thirteen million people on relief. The government is trying to do everything except the most needful thing, for the country's future. | It is flooding the country with almost every imaginable kind of agent, and at enormous expense, for the benefit of the public, in guiding us safely through life, from the lyin-in room to the grave. If one of these agents will venture to tell parents how to space their children as they do their cotton and corn, or furnish contraceptives for the purpose, he or she would promptly lose their job, and maybe look through tho bars of a jail. Should a man have preached this doctrine forty or more yeara ago, he would have hood classed below a pig thief.? Now, few will deny the premises unless- fanatical or dumb as un ox. As everbody knows, such advice or argument Is not needed for the middle and upper classes. The poor and needy, the morons ? and ne'er-do-wells are populating the country, as a rule, and bringing on a lopsided race, that will be a growing burden, not only ppon themselves, but upon the Christian government that is too hypocritical to teach facts, and apply the proper romedies. Look at your marriage licenses at home from month to month, and?draw your own conclusions. More than three-fourths of your wards on the public right now are the ones generally who are populating the country at breakneck speed. To chock this unhealthy and unwise state of affairs is Just what the government is dodging, and doing a lot of foolish things that are Just a waste of money. Over-population has caused many wars and great suffering. All signs points to panics, more frequent than ever before. Population is increasing far faster than Jobs. And increasing the wrong direction. There is bound to be Increasing trouble, if the proper preventatives are not utilized and put in oporatlon. Tho man who can't see the drift is blind indeed. It has already brought dictators to Germany, to Ifcaly and to Hussla. As we havo often remarked, "poor bucras and poor niggers" are about the only class that aro propagating tho country. It bodes ill for the future.?Calhoun Times.
