SEVERE AUTO ACCIDENT.
But DR.. Speight and MIR. Arlington Are
Getting Along ALI Right.

Rocky Mount, N. c., Nov. 2-It will
be gratifying to the many friends of
DR.. Speight and Mr.. T. M. Arlington
to learn that neither was seriously
hurt in the auto accident last week,
and that both are getting along nicely.
Mr.. Arlington, who had been visit
ing at the country home OF DR..
Speight. decided to return home, and
they were on their way to Rocky
Mount when the accident occurred
When few miles from Wrendale, and
while coming down hill at a lively
clip they met negro man driving
wagon loaded with lumber, and while
they gave notice that they wished to
pass, the negro persisted in holding
the centre of the road, and it was i'm
possible to bring the machine under
control, so DIR. Speight, who was driv-
ing the car, swung it around the wag-
on, but as they passed they ran on a
bridge, and as they did not strike it
near the centre, the outside timbers
gave way, precipitating them into the
ravine below and the machine turned
completely over upon it's occupants.
Though both were severly stunned,
Mr.. Arlington was able to rise from
the wreck first and he Immediately
went to the rescue of his friend, only
to find him in an unconscious condi-
ton. The negro, who was driving the
wagon was asked and implored by Mr..
Harrington to come and assist him in
removing DR.. Speight from his posi-
| ton, but the negro refused Another
negro man passed the scene a few
minutes later and he also turned q
deaf ear to the requests of Mr.. Ar
rington for help. Finally Mr.. AIRING
ton went to a colored home about a
quarter of a mile away and there Sc
cured the assistance needed to remove
DR.. Speight, who had gained con-
sciousness at this time, and DR..
Speight was removed to his home
Mr.. Arlington was severely hurt
about the head and suffered an ugly
wound on his left leg, in addition to
his being severely bruised and shaken
up DR.. Speight was first thought to
be seriously injured, but after devel-
opments have seemed to show that his
injuries are not believed to be fatal
His greatest hurt came by a blow on
the head which rendered him uncon
scious.
