DEATH INSTEAD OF WEDDING
BRIDAL PARTY IN FATAL AUTO
ACCIDENT NEAR CUTHBERT.
The Car Dashed Off of High Bridge
While the Driver Was Light
ing u Cigarette.

Parties coming to Dawson from
Cuthbert Sunday night reported
horrible automobile accident near
that place early Sunday night, two
being killed and two terribly in
jured.
A big automobile touring car,
which was carrying a wedding party
to Fort Gaines, plunged off the bridge
of the Central of Georgia railway
near Cuthbert to the tracks below,
resulting in the death of the pros
pective bridegroom and the chauf-
feur, and the serious injury of the
bride-to-be and a friend
The dead are Horace Sheppard of
Edison. prospective bridegroom, and
Curtiss Williams of Fort Gaines,
chauffeur.
The injured are Miss Helen Mattox
'of Coleman, the bride-to-be, and
James Lumley of Edison.
The big car, which was driven by
.Curtiss Williams, contained James
Lumley, Horace Sheppard, and Misses
Helen and Mary Mattox Sheppard
and Miss Helen Mattox had been to
Cuthbert to be married, but failing
to secure a license had started to
Fort Gaines, accompanied by the 9TH
Ier young people.
Was Lighting a Cigarette.
Soon after leaving Cuthbert Will
liams is said to have lost control of
the car while attempting to light a
cigarette The big car kept the road
until it reached the bridge, when it
dashed into the railing and fell 40
feet to the tracks below. Williams
neck was broken by the fall, and
Sheppard received injuries from
which he died later
Miss Mary Mattox, the sister of the
bride-to-be, escaped injuries.
Mr. Will West took the ladies in
his house and telephoned to town
for doctors to meet the injured men
at the Central depot.
Planned Marriage.
With the purpose of being married
Horace Sheppard and Miss Helen
MattoX, accompanied by Miss Mary
Mattox, a sister of the bride-tO-be,
secured an automobile from a garage
at Fort Gaines late Sunday afternoon
and were quickly driven to Cuthbert
by Curtiss Williams. Being unable
to obtain a marriage license the
party hastily left town, and were
running at a speed of about 30 miles
an hour when the accident occurred.
Neck Was Broken.
Williams neck was broken and
death resulted instantly. Sheppard
was frightfully injured, and died
later. Miss Helen MattoX was Sc
verely bruised and her face and arms
were badly lacerated. The ladies'
were removed to a neighboring farm
house. The men were taken to Cuth-
bert on a hand car. Williams was
.23 years of age, and married.
A negro witnessed the accident,
and rushed to town to tell the story.

Mr.. CARNEGIE ENQUIRIES
HE WANTS TO KNOW ABOUT THE
LIBRARY IN DAWSON.
The PhilanthrOpist's Secretary Sends
Questions Here to Be Answered
and Returned to Him.

me PmlanthrOplSt'S Secretary Sends
Questions Here to Be Answered
and Returned to Him.
Recently the ladies of the Dawson
Library Association made a request
.of Mr.. Andrew Carnegie, the philan-
thropist who has built many homes
for libraries throughout the country,
for donation of $4,000 with which
to erect a library building in Daw-
son.
A printed blank containing a num-
Der of questions has been received
from Mr.. James Bertram, secretary
to Mr.. Carnegie, and among the
things he desires to know is the pop
ulation of Dawson, whether there is
library here, and if so it's size and
dimensions of the space it occupies;
how much it's receipts and expendi-
lures have been the past year, how
much the city has given and will give,
and if a lot is available for library
building.
The desired information has been
forwarded, including assurance that
site will be given for a building,
and that the city will give $1,000
a year towards the support of a
library if building is erected. The
, News understands that site will be
donated by one of the city's promi-
nent and loyal citizens.
The library, since it's establish
ment, has been supported entirely
through the efforts of the ladies, to
whom much credit is due for their
/ interest in the institution and the
success they have made of it despite
the obstacles they have encountered
Their receipts for year past were
1872, which they raised in various
ways almost alone, and their ex-
penditures were $3.50, of which $500
was spent for books and $3.50 in
paying the salary of a librarian.
They deserve a handsome library
| building, and the fact that they US
ually get what they want almost
makes us announce now that Mr.
Carnegie is going to aid them.
