r ' * i - ? \ " PAGE TWO ? *. ??a? - ':' ' THE "OLD GRAY" A! _ E.PHILI One Killed Every 17 Minutes During the year lg29 at \vas showir that between thirty one and thirty, two thousand persons were killed in' automobile wrecks. The exact figures] appeared?in?thc editorials of "The State" a few days ago and in that same editorial it was calculated thaV the average death from cars war" tine ( for every seventeen minutes of the year past, ^srvt that awful. "The State" commented further in saying . 1 "that with aU of-tlifl good roads and* warning signs upon the highways, such a death toll should not be." Just here we desire to comment further and say that, this tremendous slaughter would not be if those operating and concentrate their minds on what ; they are doing. It is true accidents will happen and sometimes cost lives. \But I venture to^ay-tbat-nearly all of the deaths from car wrecks .are caused by carelessness, drunkardncss or foolishness on the part of the ones j operating one or both machines. Cars a t f n/lotr nwn > tt'nll ??i i /-? da 1 fr* r I vi ivuay aic ncu u uc ov ku j as mechanicalism is concerned. Now and then you read of a wheel running off or the steering wheel petting ^ hung, causing a death here and thereJ ? But the hurling of thousands into e? ternity is the fault of reckless drivers and not that of thP machines. Such . a death rate as the previous year" : 7 ought-serve as a warning to persons - operating cars this year. Bat every _ now and then .you can see a car loaded with human passengers, with a red eyed limber neck, slohberer fit the wheel, running his good for nothing '"Tnouth, with no concern whatever for the precious lives entrusted to his care. It is time and high time, for any and all persons to stay out of cars whose operators are in liquors. -* fl ! South Carolina Led The Connection - The Allen's-Dav?returns of February showed the 'old Palmetto Slate : to be in.lead of more then a thousand" dollars over-the next highest epis- j copal district in the connection. The, presiding elders, pastors and lay members1 of this state were amazed to see how little tbe other episcopal districts / . responded to this appeal. At our last tabulation thP Tjh Episcopal district had reported nearly seventeen, Tiunv dred dollars and the first?episcopal district, whehC the book cfthcern is -j located, "had paid just a little -over -? ? - t seven hundred. Florida, the managers own state, had -paid then up?vards of four hundred dollars. And all of" the other?districts considered the appeal as a joke seemingly. Many of us here were no more , interested in^ the publishing house than those of the 0* ther districts that did practically- nothing. But we believe in obeying or - ders. Then, too, we never, want <j>ur leader to be "embarrassed. So ft whs due to the respect that we have for ""Bishop Hurst as mueh as anything else, why we rallied, to the call. Now ( : another movement is on to let us all rally again. It appears to me that the ?? first effort-should be to rally the connection up to South Carolina and let us go together. The attitude assumed by the connection in regards to the Allen's Day appeal, exposes this ..... ?' fact-that the church, local nor general, need no longer put on these extravagant, programs, more as a means to an end than anything else, and ex, pect the people to pav for them. The ?people ure figuring out how how to: ?' go to heaven bv the cheapest church route. "And" from" their ways and &ctiona^jt seems that any church will do. There are thousands-'of people that expect to die in the church of; their mothers and fathers. I. myself. ? am one of them. But' this thing of churches contracting large debts, and when they- find themselves sinking,, cry "church ; pride!" "church pride!" is going to be .a mighty poor appeal ' , in the future.. For some people's church pride is like a fat pig on an_ ... icy lake.
