MON ID VA-Speci

RIG MON D. vA--Special.-
An automobile containing N. V.
Randolph, Jr., of $40 Floyd Avenue.
and Charles S. Clarke, of 1929 West
Broad Street, came to grief at Har-
rison Street and Floyd Avenue last
night at 1920 o'clock, when it was
struck by trolley car OF the Clay
Street line.
The machine was practically demol-
ished, and worse still, it's occupants
were seriously hurt Mr.. Randolph
suffered a broken collarbone and
many severe bruises, while Mr.. Clarke
was painfully injured.
The accident occurred when the
automobile attempted to cross the
track in front of the car. Evidently
the impact was great, as the machine
was twice turned upside down.
Mr.. Randolph was caught beneath
the wreckage, while Mr.. Clarke was
thrown clear of the ruined machine.
The former was taken to his home,
where he was treated by DR.. Greer
Baughman.
The autoists claim that under re-
cent traffic regulations of the Coun-
Gil they had the right OF way, as the
language of the law says: "All We
hicles and street cars going in an
easterly direction or a westerly di-
rection shall have the right of way
over all vehicles or street cars going
in a northerly or southern direction"

SMALLPOX CAME
FROM CAROLINA
Mrs. Vinson Believed to Have
Caught Disease From Brother,
a Goldsboro Man.

RICE MON d, VA-Special.-
It was stated by Chief Health Of
6cer Levy this morning that his de-
partment would do everything in its
power 10 prevent any spread of the
smallpox, following the discovery
that Mrs. Beulah NJ. Vinson, of 500
West Clay Street lie suffering from
that dread malady.
Mrs Unison and the members OF
her family will be removed to the
hospital In Henrico today. and steps
will be taken 10 vaccinate all those
residing in her neighborhoOd.
Some apprehension has been
caused by the fact that the sufferer
lived in a house with fourteen other
people. eight of whom have not been
vaccinated.
1t is believed that Mrs Vinson con-
tracted the disease from her brother
in-law, Grover Vinson, an employe OF
the Union News Company, whose run
is on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
way west of Richmond. He came
here from Goldsboro, ~. c., January
LIST, and Is now said to be iii with the
smallpox in West Virginia
DIR. Levy said today that Richmond
chief trouble with smallpox. according
to his observation, had been due tc
cases brought from North Carolina
In this city the disease has been pref
ty we'll checked, but several times
when cases were discovered their orr
gin has been traced to the Tarhee
State.
Acting on the assumption tina,
North Carolina needs watching in this
respect, especial precautions will be
taken TO prevent the disease from
being brought here from that source
Mrs. Wilson'S husband, Marvin r
Vinson, a motorman on the Clay
Street line, as well as others, has been
in intimate contact with the patient
since her illness, and hence 1t is
deemed prudent to segrerate all who
may possibly contract the disease.

Unless there is a very decided
change of the members of the Cen
erai Assembly. and of the avowed in
tention of many gentlemen, who are
concerned over the condition of the
State treasury. the Radford Normal
and Industrial College will not ma
terialize for some years to come.
This proposed school has been a
bone of contention since il was first
suggested. The town of Radford-
East and West Wards-had q terrific
struggle regarding the location of the
countercharges. The dispute finally
got into the courts. Before the board
or visitors, named by the Governor
met for organization two of the gem
tiemen named retired because of lack
of time to discharge the duties Of
membership on the board of trustees.
Last fall, when the time for elect

These things have IaI been careful

ana they have about come to the con-
ciusion that it is better to guard the
finances and provide for the schools
already in existence. rather than pro-
VIDE another school. which would en-
tail further expense.
There are already three normal COL

is claimed that these are as many as
