VERY CARELESS DRIVER.
Two Buggies Upset and One of Them
BailY Injured.

Two huggies, one belonging 70 Mr..
Robert L. Williams and the other to Mr..
Arthur b. Clarke, were upset yesterday
afternoon on Main street near Eoushee by
a cart loaded with iron pipes. The driver
seemed TO be utterly obliyious OF sur
rounding circumstances, and as he passed
near Grace church. where Nr. Clarke's
buggy was standing, the pipes. which pro-
jected from the rear OF the wagon, caught
this vehicle in some way and upset it.,
throwing the horse down.
This circumstance seemed unworthy OF
the drivers notice and going on about
thirty feet further the accident was re-
peated, this time with more serious results,
for the buggy OF Mr. Williams was upset
and badly smashed. The vehicle of hlr.
Clarke. strange 10 say, was but slightly in
jured, though the horse. which was thrown
down, doubtless found itself rather awk-
wardly surprised.
Fortunately no one was in either OF the
buggies which were upset. The horses
weTe both tied, and after being quickly r.
lieved from the harness seemed uninjured.
The owners Of the two vehicles sue
ceeded in getting the name of the negro
who had driven so carelessly, and ex-
pressed their determination 10 call upon
his employer to defray the expenses Of his
reckless driving.
