men, and women, too, around here that
should be made to go to work and the
Herald believes that this police force

plenty of able bodied men standing
around idle.

| the streets were crowded with shop
| pers the fire department was called out
by an alarm from East Main avenue.
AS it turned out however, there was
no fire but the alarm was caused by
fight in the Davis block between two

wife. Some of the other foreigners in
the building came tumbling down the
steps crying fight, fight" and someone.
misunderstanding the word, turned in

a serious one and the difficulty was ad-
| iusted in the mayors court last
| Monday morning. A passenger on
| No. 40 Sunday night reports that Sc
rious accident was narrowly aVerted as
| the train neared Nantyne's switch be-
| tween Bessemer City and Kings
| Mountain. An automobiliSt attempted
| to cross on the dirt road just a few
minutes before the train was due. The
| front wheels, however, missed the road
and went into a ditch, leaving the rear

was unable to get the car off the track.

standstill just about ten feet from the
auto. The train crew assisted in re-

| Mr.. Love Davis was seriously injured
| early yesterday morning when his
horse ran away on South Broad street,
|
ficting a number of bad wounds. He
sustained a severe scalp wound and a
slight fracture of the skull which,
however. is not deemed dangerous.
The wheels of the buggy passed over
his body and it was feared that he had
possibly sustained internal injuries but
so far nothing has developed to indi-
cate that such is the case. There were
other minor wounds on his body. Mr..
Davis was removed to the CASTOR hos
| pital where his wounds were dressed
and was later removed to his home on
East Main avenue. He is resting pref
| ty we'll today and his many friends
hope that there will be no serious de-
velopments. When the accident occur
red Mr. Davis, in company with his r.
year. old son, Willie was leaving town
| to drive to his farm as usual. The
horse became frightened at a handcar
| on the railroad track and made leap,
| throwing him out. The boy remained
| in the buggy and was unharmed. The
horse ran to the Clara mill where he
was caught.
