took the car in charge.
For several miles we maintained a
high rate of speed, and Mrs. Reynolds
cautioned her husband not to run the
car SO fast She feared some accident
might happen. However, the car con-
tinued to speed on until we reached the
steep hill at the bottom of which the
wreck occurred.
The car shot down this hill at
terrific rate and Mrs Reynolds begged
| Mr.. Reynolds to exercise more caution.
Suddenly something happened. 1
don't know what it was. We had no
warning, and every one was thrown
from the car. We must have been
there some time before we came to, for
it was quite light when the accident
happened and when | came to it was
quite dark.
II pulled Mr.. Trammell from beneath
one of the wheels of the car and he as
sisted me in caring for Mr.. and Mrs.
Reynolds, both of whom seemed badly
injured. | pulled the cushions from
the seats and placed their heads upon
these, and presently | saw negro man.
He was driving team, and sent him
to Bolton for assistance"
Miss George is 10 years of age and is
popular in her home town, Newburn,
N. G. She is the daughter of DIR. T. NJ.
N. George, an Episcopal minister, of
Newburn. Miss George has been on a
visit to her aunt Mrs d N. Anderson,
in Marietta, and had been invited by
Mr.. and Mrs. Reynolds to go with them
on the auto trip to Atlanta.
In statement Mr. Trammell says:
1--WE started out from Nunnally's about
6 O'Clock. I handled the machine from
our starting point until we reached the
end of the car line out Marietta street,
where Mr.. Reynolds took charge OF it.
Mr.. Reynolds and myself we're seated
in the front and Mrs. Reynolds and
Miss Elmer George were seated in the
back. We had gone about six miles
and were about one mile from Bolton
when the accident occurred. We we're
going down decline and turned
curve at sharp speed. Just at this
point Mr.. Reynolds lost control of the
automobile. Then we turned over.
When / returned to consciousness Miss
George and myself had to pull Mr..
Reynolds from under the wheels Of the
machine. The machine had turned
absolutely around and was pointed to-
ward Atlanta"
We are informed that an examina.-
tion of the machine disclosed that it
was reversed, emergency break on and
steam shut off, thus showing that Mr.,
Reynolds was keenly alive to the situa-
ton. and applied all forces at command
to avoid the accident. The machine
never left the road or come in contact
with curbing. As the first thing observ-
ed was the flying off of a rubber it is
one of the theories that this induced
the trouble.

the accident, was So years of age, and a
brother of Dr.. Homer V. Reynolds, DIR

tiers, of Marietta, before her marriage
