SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.60 Six Months .90 Three Months .50 (Strictly in Adrahca.) THURSDAY, DECEMBER 12, 1935 The Slaughter Goes On. The following editorial wOs 1 written for publication a couple of weeks ago, but wa 8 crowded out by a deluge of advertisements and other material: More than 100 persons were killed in automobile accidents on the high ways of trte United States during the past week-end. Some 36,000 persons met violent deaths on the highways in this country last year, and the traffic toll is expected to exceed that figure in 1935. Isn’t there some way by which this bloody record may be reduced ? Can’t the trail of broken bodies and the re sultant broken hearts and lives be lessened ? Members of the Congress are said to be seriously considering the passage of laws forcing manufacturers to limit the speed of automobiles to 60 miles an hour. This would help, of course, but a car traveling at 60 miles an hour guided by the unsteady hand of a drink-befuddled! driver, woul still ■be a deadly instrument of death The writer was talking a few days ago to a salesman of a popular auto mobile. Among other features the high speed of the car was stressed. We replied that speed did not appeal to us as much as safety and! comfort and the salesman replied, “but the American public demands it.” We doubt seriously if„ any great propor tion of the THINKING American pub lic—those who are interested in the safety of themselves and others—de mand's excessive speed in an automo bile. Rather it is the reckless few— the ones who are making the highways unsafe—-who demand speed above all other cdfrsiderations. But regardless of what any con siderable _ portion of the American motorists may demand, the fact re mains that the traffic toll is too high —we are paying too great a price for speed!—and innocent persons MUST be protected from the recklessness of fools. This is a matter for national regula tion. It would be silly for the South Carolina legislature to pass a law pro- hibitmKH?he operation on the highways of the State of automobiles with speeds in excess of 50 or 60 mile s an hour when hundreds of motorists from other States use our highways daily. Such a law, of course, would tend to limit the number of accidents so far as cars owned 1 by citizens of South Carolina are concerned and would Jielp to that extent, but the legislatiun should be national. But the root of the evil lies in the recklessness of the individual drivers, anti when natural recklessness is heightened! by the exciting influence of alcohol, a bad matter ha? been made very much worse. Heavier penalties •n the reckless or drunken drivers might brmg about a reduction in the number cf highway accidents. We have grown too callous in our attitude toward this matter. Let’s do something about it. Remember, YOU or some cf YOUR loved ones may be in the next accident. lumbia.that the bus could not handle the crowd, The Bus company had to tae crowd.

KnO* and coach Bryan in charge^weflt to Montmorenci for their series game with Montmorefi- ci. Montmorenci displayed a nice passing attack which beat the Barn well boys 36 to 11. Metts, with 18, and Byars, with 10, were high scorers for the winners and Duensing and Teal led the losers witK 4 and 3 points, re spectively. * * We expect to make it .a different story next week, as we did not have but two nights practice. In fact, last Monday, when we saw the drawings in the “I” Opener, we learned about the games. Aftel- a couple of days we managed to borrow* a basketball court at Dunbarton, because ours is not yet in shape for playing. Hewever, we are out for revenge next time.
