26,618 Met Death
On The Highways
During Past Year
WASHINGTON. 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.

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

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.

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.”

Interstate Shipments
Of Ticky Cattle Pro
hibited After April 30
New Federal regulations govern
ing the interstate movement of live
stock become effective on and after
May 1, 1928. 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.
