INJURED
We're Three Persons In Auto.
mobile Accidents
Which Occurred Near MI.
Vernon On Saturday
Mrs. Thomas Cole Sustained
Serious Injuries
Wm. R. Wing And Guy Steele
Badly Cut Up
When An Automobile Struck
Their Buggy

Mrs. Thomas Cole, residing on the
Green Valley road a short distance
west of the city, was severely injured
on Saturday afternoon as a result of
collision with an automobile. She
was thrown from the buggy In which
she was riding and was rendered un-
conscious. The buggy was overturned
and badly broken.
At about $3.50 o'clock in the after
noon Mrs. Cole was returning to her
home after having made visit in the
city. She had reached point in
front Of her home when an automobile
driven by Mr.. ]. A. Stoyle crashed
into the back of the buggy upsetting
it and throwing her to the ground
with great force. She was rendered
unconscious and was taken in that
state to her home. On arriving
at the Cole home surgical attention
was rendered and efforts were made
to revive the injured woman who
remained unconscious for a period
of several hours after the accident.
Mrs. Cole sustained bad cut on the
forehead, an injured spine and frac-
tured rib in the smash-up while none
of the occupants of the automobile
were injured.
The accident occurred in rather
odd manner, neither Mr.. Stoyle nor Mrs
Cole being to blame. Mrs. Cole heard
the machine in the rear, but started
to turn into the gate at her home
which stood to the left of the road.
Not knowing that she intended doing
this Mr.. Stoyle started to pass on the
left side, as the law requires, and as
both turned in the same direction at
the same time the wreck could not
be avoided.
Mrs. Cole is we'll advanced in age
and her injuries combined with the
nervous shock sustained has made
her condition serious.
Mrs. Coles two sons, who are we'll
known physicians of Columbus, arriv-
ed in the city Saturday evening and
have been giving their constant at
tention to their mother since the ac-
cident.
DR.. Staunton e. and DR.. B. G. Deeley
of this city were also called in at
tendance in the case.

Two men INJURED
When Automobile Crashed Into Their
Buggy

William n. Wing, a well known
farmer. residing south of Mt. Vernon,
and Guy Steele, employed on the
Wing farm, had very narrow escape
from fatal injuries or immediate death
Saturday evening about $3.50 o'clock.
when Thomas Harrington. driver of
an automobile sent his car crashing
into buggy containing Mr.. Wing and
Mr.. Steele.
The accident occurred on the Col
umbus road, just south of the c. A.
& G. station. Mr.. Wing and Mr..
Steele were coming towards town and
in front of the residence of Mrs. La
fever they saw the lights of Harring-
tons car ahead and Mr.. Wing pulled
to the right side of the road. For
some unaccountable reason the ma
chine came straight for the buggy
and Mr.. Wing gave the horse sud
den jerk, otherwise the automobile
would have struck the horse. AS IL
was it struck the left side of the bug
gy and both men were thrown out,
Mr.. Wing striking the side of the auto
mobile. Mr.. Wing was wearing a stiir
hat at the time and this was cut al
most into threads. This perhaps
saved his life.
Mr.. Wing received bad cash under
the left eye and was bruised all over
the body. Steele was cut about the
face. but not seriously.
1t was first thought that Mr.. Wing
had been badly injured and he was
carried into the Residence Of Mrs. La
fever, where DR.. B. F. Humbert was

THIRD ACCIDENT
Miss Meyers Thrown From Buggy
When Auto Frightened Her Horse

Miss Name Meyers, residing near
Academia, narrowly escaped serious
injury Sunday afternoon while driv.

the opposite direction The horses,
hitched to the buggy opposite that of

SHOTS
From Pistol Guide The Life
Savers

Sandusky, o., Oct. 3O-The report OF
a revolver, coming from the open lake
just before dawn, attracted the attenr.
ton of the life-savers at the Marble
head station. The life-saving crew, an.

the darkness, and just as the sun wan
rising sighted wave-tossel launch in.

drowned. To attract the attention OF
the life-savers, the men had burned
paper until they had used. their last
match. Shiveley then thought Of tho

Shiveley and Schiller left Marble

Of heavy cavalry saber her father
had carried in the Civil war. Mrs.
Mary Smith, diminutive widow, of
31S West Cambria street, early today
forced a burglar to take refuge in the
cellar OF her home. and after thrill
ling half hour captured him and
turned him over to policeman.
Before Magistrate Campbell the
prisoner said he was William ]. Dacey
Of Leigh avenue, and North Drama
street. He was held without bail for
Court.
Mrs. Smith was awakened by her
six-year old boy, who sleeps in her
room. The youngster said he had
heard some one moving about down
stairs.
Then came a rattle of coal from
the cellar. Hurrying to her fathers
room, Mrs. Smith obtained his old
saber, ran down stairs and met the
burglar emerging into the kitchen.
She plunged at him with the saber
and forced him to retreat into the cell
lar, where she held him at bay with
the weapon until help in the shape
of policeman was summoned by
her little boy.

Mt. Vernon Scored. The First
Points Of The Game
But We're Unable To Stop
End Runs Of DOane
Three Placement Kicks We're
Features Of The Contest

Doane Academy of Granville defeat
ed the Mt. Vernon high school foot
ball team at Hiawatha park Saturday
afternoon by score of 12 to g.
Doane's points were scored ON two
kicks from placement and a touch
down which was, in reality, illegal.
Mt. Vernon scored their three points
in a kick from placement by Cap
tain Altenberg in the first quarter of
play.
The locals lost the game because of
their inability to tackle effectually.
With the exception of only few men
the Mt. Vernon tacklers would make
ludicrous efforts to jump on a run
ner's shoulders. II they succeeded in
this they were carried for distance of
several yards before they brought the
man down. In many instances the run
ner merely ducked slightly and con-
tinued his course down the field. Such
tackling never won a football game.
The local rushers also made a very
poor showing in getting down the
field on kickoff or on a punt. The
Doane man would invariably return
the ball for distance of from 10 to
z5 yards on the kick.
Another cause of the defeat was the
position of the local ends on defens-
i've play. Ends on the defence should
play from 10gto f12syards out from the
tackle but this they did not do Sell
dom was Mt. Vernon wing man seen
to be playing more than yards out.
Doane backs circled the unprotected
ends successfully many times and
once for gain of 45 yards and
touchdown.
Mt. Vernon was greatly outweighed
by their opponents. In spite of this
handicap the line held rema~kablv
well until the last quarter whe,i su-
perior weight and strength began to
tell. Lauderbaugh at center made his
man look like mere boy. He pierced
the line on nearly every scrimmage
and many times broke up the Doane
play before it was started. Reeder
played q star game at half-back both
on offense and defense. Captain AL
tenberg did remarkably we'll consider
ing his crippled condition but WAS
forced to retire from the game in the
last half owing to numerous injuries.
Porter was a tower of strength on the
line, not one play getting through
him during the game.
While it is an undisputed fact that
Doane won the game by a score of
to 1t is a lamentable fact that
fair officials could not be secured to
officiate at the struggle which is sup
posed to be clean and is clean when
all parties concerned are true sports
men. However, Reese, Doane's Off
cial was decidedly off color. 1t may
be that he intended to do right but it
was very apparent that he was sadly
lacking In knowledge concerning the
game of football. The only alleged
touchdown scored in the game was
made by McCollum who ran out of

Toledo Man

Toledo, o., Oct. 30-Louis Maier,
thirty.four years old, committed suicide
here today, by hanging himself with
a clothesline to rafter in barn at
the rear of his residence on Western
avenue. Maier's body was found sew
eral hours later by Mrs. Raymond, a
neighbor, when she went to feed her
chickens. Coroner Henzler rendered a
verdict of suicide due to a severe at
tack of insomnia.

bones we're broken.
The buggy In which the two men
were riding was badly demolished.
Harrington did not stop his machine
after crashing into the buggy, but
kept on going out the Columbus road.

bounds but was not recalled by any
of the officials. Masteller, a Mt. vor-
non man who is attending school at
Granville, acted as head-ineman. His
opinion was asked as to whether or
not the runner went out of bounds and
of course he answered In the negative.
Doane received the kickoff at the
opening of the game and rushed the
ball down the field in a cyclone man
ner but soon punted. After an ex-
change of punts Captain Altenberg
kicked goal from the field. Score
Mt, Vernon 3, Doane 0.
Time for the quarter was called
with the ball in Doane's possession on
Mt. Vernon's 20 yard line.
Mt. Vernon received the kick-off
but could not gain consistently on
their opponents Doane could not gain
and the ball was see-sawed until the
call for time in the first half came
with the ball in Mt. yernon's posses
sion on their own 45 yard line.
Mt. Vernon received the kick but
lost the ball when forced to punt.
Doane rushed to Mt. Vernon's 80 yard
line where Heron kicked from place
ment. Score-Mt. Vernon 8, Doane g.
After few minutes more of play
Doane was again In position to kick
and Heron repeated his first per.
Torrance and kicked another goal
from placement. Score-Mt. Vernon
3, Doane 6.
Time for the end of the third quar-
ter was called with 1t Mt. Vernon's
ball on their own so yard line.
In the last quarter McCollum sprint
ed As yards for what was called a
touchdown but he ran out of bounds
by several feet at the southeast corn
er of the field. Heron kicked goal
Alleged score-Mt. Vernon 8, Doane

After few more minutes of very
rough play the game ended with the
ball in Mt vernon's possession on
their own 40 yard line.

A Victory For
Progressive Democracy.

Not only Georgians are rejoicing over
the victory of Hoke Smith and his
friends in the fight to put him in the
United States senate. 1t is a victory
for progressive Democracy the country
over and it shows that the progressive
element of the Democratic party is in
the ascendancy.
In this case, however, a certain
amount Of the credit is due to Hoke
Smiths personality for he entered the
political field with hard odds against
him, but he slowly but surely sur
mounted every obstacle and now he
stands out shining mark as to what
can be accomplished by man of de-
termination when he is fighting for the
. rights of the common people, no matter
how strong the opposition may be.
Georgia will be well represented with
I Hoke Smith in the senate and when
ever questions arise that affect the ma
ton as a whole, he can be depended
upon to take the side of the people
against the special interests, while he
will be alert to the interests of his
home state.
There are many able men in Georgia,
a-y one of whom would no doubt have
rendered good service to his state had
he been chosen as senator, but it is
right and proper that the leader of
progressive Democracy in Georgia
should be the one to receive the honor.
Senator Smith will not be alone in
the senate for just such changes in the
{, .racter of men sent there is taking
plac| all over the country and he will
find congenial and enthusiastic CO.
workers from every section.
1t will be only two more years before
the progressive Democrats will have
control of the senate.

face was also affected. I stayed home that
day and went to see a doctor. He told me
that I must have eaten something poison
Gus, and I had the hives. He prescribed a
medicine and also gave me some ointment.
AS the days went by steadily grew worse,
the marks changing from one part Of my body
to another. The medicine and ointment were
of no use, and I felt greatly disappointed
until one evening by chance looking over the
papers I saw the Cuticura Remedies adver-
tised. Immediately procured some Cuticura
Ointment and applied it to my body. 1could
hardly believe it, but it seemed to ease my
skin right away. kept on using the Cuticura
Ointment for week and can say that it
certainly was the finest preparation had
ever used. 1t completely cured me, and l
have not been troubled since. (Signed)

ARCHDEACON WIN. B. ALLEN.
FAVoRS THE LOWER BLUFF
AS LOGICAL BRIDGE POINT
Pensacola. Fla, July -. /

Pensacola, Fla, July 70, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
L have read with interest the differ
ent views advanced in regard to cross
ing Escambta river ever since the ma
tioral highway has been decided upon
AS most of the older residents of Pen
sacola know, | have spent most of my
life in this city and great deal of
time has been spent in fishing and
hunting in Escambia river and swamps
and all of my information has been
gained by personal observation only.
Let me say to begin with that l don't
own any interest in a foot of land in
either this or Santa Rosa county. but
believe l was the first to suggest the
lower bluff on Escambia as the most
logical place for bridging EsCambia
and Whites rivers. If the bridge was
built at McDavid as suggested it would
be so far up as to be of no practical
use to Pensacola, besides having to
have draw and attendant and nearly
three miles of swamp to be crossed
with bridges and much filing in. At
Moltno a draw would have to be MAIN
tanned at the main river, but Delaney's
river on the Santa Rosa side would not
have to have a draw, although small
steamers navigate it at times with
freight for Chumuckla, and the dis
lance through the swamp to high land
would be but little less than elsewhere,
but wagons coming from Santa Rosa
county to Pensa cola, If heavily loaded,
would find the two miles from MOlinO
to the main hard road one of the
longest hill pulls in this county and
many would have to make two trips
to get one load to the main road, be-
sides the distance from Milton Pensa-
cola would be. 10 or 90 miles further
than if the bridge was at the lower
bluff.
At the lower bluff no darw bridge
would be necessary at ALL as a bridge
built from the top of the bluff would
be high enough for all vessels navi-
eating the river to pass under and the
main channel is here, and l don't be-
lieve a draw would be required at
Whites river on the Santa Rosa side,
as it would only be used for logging
purposes and while the Conecuh river
is navigable above Brewton and nearly
to Andalusia by light draft vessels, l
don't know of any draw bridges up
there, as this is done away with by
making the bridges high enough to not
need a draw
OF course we know that the river
swamp at the lower bluff has to be
considered, but this can be done easily
enough with but little more cost than
at other points mentioned above and
at considerably less than a bridge and
draw at Ferry Pass. While at Ferry
Pass a bridge would be in close line
between Milton and Pensacola, it would
be very expensive undertaking at
first cost and also be liable to be
washed away if we should have any
more storms like the one in 1906.
While considering a bridge it should
be built at a point as near as possible
to the shortest route as we'll as con-
sidering its safety from storms, floods.
etc. l don't believe a ferry will be con-
| sidered at all on this route as every
one knows the delays at ferries besides
its continual operating expense and
liability to accident and probable total
