Traffic Accidents
Being Reduced
Georgians have made progress in
reducing deaths and injuries from
traffid accidents this year and its
a matter for great rejoicing.
But as long as people still are dying
and being maimed, some ruined for
life, the time hasn’t come to sit back
and congratulate ourselves and relax
efforts. Through October 1st almost
500 persons had lost their lives, ac¬
cording to the Department of Public
Safety. That’s 99 less than had been
killed to date last year and 159 less
than to date in 1937, but still too many.
The Department of Safety believes
that it is possible to “save” 200 lives
this year over 1937 but only if all
persons, groups and agencies co¬
operate and double their efforts to
make drivers and pedestrians realize
that if they break the rules of safe
driving they are on the brink of kill¬
ing and hurting people.
In September state troopers damp¬
ed down as they never have before
in enforcing the state’s regulations
and word comes that the commissioner
of safety, Lon Sullivan, is ordering
them to bear down still more. Last

FORT VALLEY
HISTORY
In an effort to complete the histo¬
ries of the pioneer families of Fort
Valley and its community before go¬
ing into the second period of the his¬
tory—that of the War Between the
States—this column has been idle for
several months. Appreciation is ac¬
knowledged for the many expressions
of appreciation of the column and ur¬
gent desires that it be continued with¬
out further delay. There are still a
number of pioneer families who are
working on their histories arid each
of these are urged to complete them
and turn them in so as not to occasion
further delay.
HILEY FAMILY
Contributed by Mr. Roland A. Hiley.
John Hiley was a Swiss who came
to America during colonial times and,
probably landing first in Virginia.
His daughter, Barbara, married a
Lee. He brought with him the Lu¬
theran Bible which is still in posses¬
sion of his great grandson, Roland
Hiley of Fort Valley.
His son, Jacob Hiley, enlisted in
the American Revolution from Edge
field District, S. C. His record is
found in Book III, S. C. Daughters
of the Revolution. Barbara Hiley Lee
was left a widow with a son, Henry,
and a daughter, Mary, called Polly.
She married George Slappey of Edge
field District, S. C., and lived later
twelve miles from Columbia and one
and one-half miles from Congaree
river. Two sons were born from this
marriage, Reuben and Uriah. This
Henry Lee is ancestor of Mrs. Betty
(Oscar) Williams of Fort Valley.
Jacob Hiley married a Mary Mag
deline Hohensinger and from this
union there were two sons and four
daughters: Ann Sophia, who married
William Hollinshed, whose descend¬
ants in this section include the Bald¬
wins, Hollinsheds and others. 2. Bar¬
bara married David Wells. Their
descendants being the Wells, Hands
and Walters. 3. Eliza married Jacob
Slappey and they had four sons:
George Slappey, the father of Jacob
Slappey, who married Miss Stella
Neil, grandparents of Mrs. J. F. Lam
ber( and Mr. Sanders Harris of Fort
Valley. William Slappey, who raar
ried Laura Eliza Lamar, had two sons
and two daughters, one of whom mar¬
ried Henry Long, father of J. L. Long
month troopers made twice as many
arrests and 1 issued twice as many
tickets as they did in August and
nearly three times as many as in
July; moreover, 400 drunk drivers
lost their licenses. And the results
were gratifying. In September the
death rate was cut from 90 in 1938
to 42 in 1939, a 52 per cent reduction.
So let’s insist on more and more
enforcement both by state and local
officers if that means saving human
lives in (Georgia. Its no fun, of
course, to a driver to lose his license,
to be arrested or receive a ticket but
its no fun either to see our loved
ones brought home in an ambulance.
Driving regulations are sensible^
common sense rules and troopers are
ordered to he sure a driver is breaking
one of them before they stop him.
After they do, there is nothing left
but for the offender to pay the penal¬
ty and he should be thankful that
instead of a death or an injury
penalty is all that his reckless driving
netted him.

District, S. C., and came to Georgia
in 1829. Their children were Jacob
Hiley, George Hiley, Mary Hiley,
Susan Hiley and Sam Hiley, the others
died in infancy or early childhood.
Jacob Hiley went to the Manual
Training School in Fort Valley, after¬
wards moved to Covington, and later
becoming Emory University. He
studied there under Alexander Means
and Ignatius Few. The little chapel
of this manual training school was
standing in Covington a few years
back and may perhaps be there today.
A classmate of Jacob Hiley was L.
Q. C. Lamar.
