March 24.—Per sons killed in highway accidents in 1927 were estimated at 26,618 today by the American Road Builders as sociation. A total of 798,700 were seriously injured and economic loss es were placed at $672,097,000, ex clusive of minor damage to motor vehicles* The total k'lled. an increase of 1 - 316 over 1926, and the injuries and traffic codes and expansion of the attendant losses, the association said, brings forcibly to mind the need for “immediate adoption of uniform nation's road building programs.” Grade crossing fatalities were said to have shown a decline for the first eleven months of 1927, the number of persons killed totaling 2,120 as compared with 2,224 for the same period the year before. XXI Carolina-Georgia Offices Be Moved The Gospel By J. A. Edmunds The headquarters of the Carolina- Georgia Service Company, which have been located in this city for some time, will next week be moved to Greensboro. N. C., it become known yesterday. The company op erates a number of ice plants in four southern states, and the remov al of the office from Anderson to the North Carolina city was deemed necessary following the company’s acquistion of several ice plants and other interest in North Carolina and Virginia recently. As a more central location for the headquarters offices was desired it was decided to estab lish the central off : ce in Greensboro. The Carolina-Georgia Service Co., recently acquired five additional ice plants, two of which are located in Gastonia, N. C., with one each in Greensboro, N. C., Roanoke and Sa lem, Va. The addition of these five plants represented an increase in the company's investment of approxi mately one million dollars and brought the total investment of near ly $5,000,000. The stock of the Carolina-Georgia Company was r ecently purchased by the Southern Public Company of Boston, Mass., which corporation also acquired other properties of the kind in the south. Whether or not personnel changes in the headquarters offices will take place with the removal of the offices to Greensboro has not been announc ed. Dan Merritt and W. P. Wright, who have been connected with the company here since the two local plants were added to the large chain will remain in Anderson.—Anderson Independent of Saturday. I am the bread of life, John 6-35. I am come that they might have life and that they may have it more abundantly. John 10-10. Man goes emt into the primeval forest with his ax and clears away the underbrush. Then fells the great tall timber transforming them into beaut ful homes which is a temporal beauty and joy. Next the fallow ground is broken and the seeds are sown which brings thirty, sixty and a hundred fold. Thus we see the life of the forest is given for a more beautiful and useful life. Next comes the harvest of grain. When the beau tiful fields are cut dcfwn a sacrificial offering for the temporal life of man and beast. Again the animal life is taken in turn Sor us. So we find the sacrificial plan of life all along the line, one life taken to sustain the other and back of all Tfe there is death. The little bird singing in its flight from tree to tree bringing joy to the heart of man, yet back of that little life and the beautiful song there is the manifestatiem of death of manifold sorts to bring life and joy to us and the whole world is im pelled to look up in adoration to our Creator and Redeemer. Behold a mystery, the beautiful innocent songster perched upon a limb warb ling his songs for the mere joy of living, and behold, the wicked hawk as he swoops down, snatching and crush ng out the innocent life. Ah, for what intent? We dare not at tempt to fathom, but Idok, Behold the Lamb of God suspended on the cruel cross; Behold the men like rav enous beasts as they clamor for innocent blood, hear the gracious in tercession, “Fathen, forgive them, they know not what they do.” Little did they realize that the blood they clamored for was the pribe being paid for their immortal souls, nor would they have cried out, His blood be upon us and our children. Yea, verily, I am the bread of life. Ho, every one that thirsteth come ye to the waters and may God grant us the wherewith to draw that we may dip deep dtfwn into the well of sal vation that it may indeed be a living well i n us springing up into ever lasting life. Can any man by reason find out God? The wind bloweth where it listeth but we canst not tell whence it cometh nor whither it go- eth. So is every one that is born of the spirit. Still a man knows when he is hungry. If we are starving and sit down to a sumptuous • meal we soon realize that our craving for food is gone. In like manner also when we are clad in warm clothing we do not suffer from the chill of winter. We can also be clad in gaiments of righteousness and feast our souls up on the good things of God with un speakable jdy and gladness. As the Psalmest says, O, taste and see that the Lord is good, Boast not unto yourselves saying you have Abraham for your father. Also we may not boast that we are of John the Bap tist of Calvin Campbell, Wesley nor Luther. I am the bread* of life. Christ is all in all fc*r it matters not if we have been baptised until all the hair is washed from our heads, and our names are op the church books so long until time has all most obli terated them. Still we m ust feast continually upon the bread of heaven else we will starve our souls until we are spiritually dead as the devil wants us to be. Again we may allow the devil to reck us to sleep in the cradle of the church then nothing under heaven save the power of God can awake us. May God help us to wake up and feed our hungry souls upon the bread of heaven and the water of everlasting life. Santa Barba, Calif. XXI Negress Wills Estate To Wife Of S. C. Of licial How Motorists Can Save Oil Is Briefly Told By The Chev rolet Motor Co. SPARTANBURG, Marc.i 24.— Mrs. Margaret Blackwood, wife of Solicitor I. C, Blackwood, lus been made the beneficiary in an unusual will filed here. Mrs. Blackwood was left ryictical- ly all of the estate of Matt ; Thomp son. a negress, and was made execu- .trix of the estate as a “tol on of her care and kindness to me curing my life and illness” the will read. The document provides that after all debts are paid and a suitable tombstone is erected at tbe grave that $200 be given Henry Thompson, a brother, and the residue of the estate to Mrs. Blackwood. The estate consists of personal property and a house and lot. 7 DETROIT, Michf. March 26.—How the motorist can save on oil expense and repair bills through proper at tention to the oil filter on his car was stressed in a statement released h^re today by O. E. Hunt, chief en gineer of the Chevrolet Motor Com pany. His announcement followed ex- peiiments conducted by research en gineers of the AC Spark Plug Com pany, makers of Chevrolet oil filters, showing that a full pint of abrasive matter accumulated in the filter af ter every 10,000 miles of driving. This residue possessed such high abrasive qualities that it could have been used effectively for sharpen ing knives or grinding valves. “If this abrasive matter had not been trapped in the oil filter,” Mr. Hunt said, “it would have done severe damage to cylinders, pistons and other internal working parts of the engine. Excessive repair bills might have been the result. “The AC oil filter, with which all Chevrolet cars are equipped, removes t'hese impiiHitlqs and al((?ws dnly clean oil to reach the engine. This means prolonged life for the engine and fewer oil changes. “After the filter has seen 10,000 miles of service, however, the filter ing unit becomes clogged with grit and other foreign matter taken from the oil, and ceases to function prop erly. The filteration unit then should be replaced. Th ; s may be done at any authorized Chevrolet service station at nominal cost representing but a small fraction of the saving in o 1 bills alone. “The oil filter is one of many features contributing to Chevrolet’s long life and economy of operation.” County Agent Offers ; A Great Tale Of To Sell Eggs For Briny Yesterday The Poultrymen -txt- The cunning displayed by most murderers who plead insanity leads one to suspect that there is method in their madness. .

Full particulars con cerning them are contained in Bu reau of Animal Industry Order 309, signed by Secretary of Agriculture Jardine. The principal change in the new regulations, compared with those now in effect, is in connection with the interstate movement of cattle from the area quaiant : ned for Tex as or tick fever. For many years the shipment of ticky cattle under quarantine restrictions for immediate slaughter has been permitted by spec : al provision in the ALt of Con gress of 1884, and while this prac tice has long b een objected to as dangerous by cattle owners and live stock-sanitary officials of the tick- free areas of the United States, it was not until the enactment of the “Crisp Bill” in June. 1926, that this special provision was repealed. Un der the provisions of the Crisp Act. which takes effect May 1, 1928. the interstate shipment of tick-infested cattle for slaughter or other pur poses will be prohibited and cattle of the quarantined area or other ticky cattle can not be moved in in terstate commerce until they are made tick free and are so certified by an inspector of the Bu e .u of Animal Industry. Under the provisions of t ;o new regulations, cattle of the qur: i.ntined area shipped for immediate s aughf- er must be dipped and cert'Tied as tick free in a manner simila Id that now required in the intersLi-D ship ment of such cattle for purposes oth er than slaughter. The new order makes but minor changes in the regulations to prevent the spread of scabies in cattle and sheep, hog cholera, swine plague, and other communicable diseases of FRIDAY AND SATURDAY f Father Time, smiling, turns back the clock of the years, and strong men wh(j went down to the sea i® ships coma to Tfe again in these modern days when navigation is a gentleman’s calling and the cat-o- nine tails and the hardships of be fore the mast are a thing of the pas* in “Captain Salvation.” It is a drama of strong men* battling the fury of the sea; of old- t'me square-rigged ships and the stalwart men who ran them; a pl*y that makes one fairly feel the salt brine and thirst for the adventure of days gone by. “Captain Salvation’,’ Cosmopoli tan’s vivid Filmizatidn of Frederick William Wallace’s novel, is a new type of picture; a picture of strong men and women inured to the shocks of life; a story that stands out viv idly as a beacon against the usual type of screen enteitainment. It grip^. it thrills—and it amazes. Filmed largely on the high seas under the direction of John Robert son, the new play has, appropriately enough, for its central character a descendant, of the old Vikings. Lars Hanson, the famous Swed : sh actor, who has already scored in this coun try in “The Scarlet Letter” and “Flesh and the Devil” reaches ths very height of his consummate ar tistry as the divinity student who forsakes the pulpit for the perils of 1 the sea. Hanson comes of a long line of sailors, and knows the rote he plays. Maiceline Day is charming as hiS; sweetheart and Pauline Starke a; vivid figure as Bess Morgan, tha siren who lured but finally redeem ed the odd he.ro of the story. i A remarkable figure is Ernest j Torrence as the brutal sea captain, smiling while he put men to the I torture, and others i n the cast of] special note are George Fawcett, Sam de Grasse, Flora Finch, Eugenia] Ford and Jay Hunt. The interior Scenes were lavis staged at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mi studios, and the sea scenes made a real voyage on an old .time sqt rigged ship. The scenario by J* Cunningham preserves the spirit the original book to a marked di gree.
