AUTO UNDER WATER.
Sixty Horsepower Machine Drops
Into Fifteen Foot Dredge
Near Carroll.

Carroll, Sept. 22.-Last night
about 8 o'clock at a point two
miles south of Lidderdale, c. M.
Russell, accompanied by w. J. Ber-
ger, George Doty and Harold Tran
er, with a sixty horsepower auto
mobile, drove into an open ditch
fully fifteen feet deep, and the auto
now lies in seven feet of water. The
fact that the machine did not turn
turtle is why the occupants are alive
today. The ditch is known as the
Storm Creek dredge, now under
construction. The machine was
driven into the drop at a twenty
five mile clip. So far as known
no danger signals were displayed.

ager c. f. Redden announces that he
has made arrangements with not fewer
than 1000 agents to handle the line for
the season. This immense number of
representatives will bring the Maxwell
within a few miles of every home in

that the Maxwell company plans to
build and distribute close to $4,000 cars
before this time another year.

this model will sell itself in The face

done by the Maxwell company only

AUTO ACCIDENTS
PREVENTABLE SAYS GAFFORD

That automobile accidents ere pre-
ventable in most cases is the opinion OF
Frank II. Gafford. Jr.. of the Goodyear
sales forces, located in Birmingham,
who said yesterday that such was alb
solutely provable.
"A large per cent of the automobile
accidents could be avoided If The prop
er precautions were taken" says Mr..
Gafford.
"One of the greatest dangers is when
an automobile driver In a rear car tries
TO make the one in front eat his dust
on one side Cs the forward car or
directly in front may be another ma
chine, buggy or pedestrian, which, to
the driver of the rear car is not with

machines in this manner, that is from
the rear, the driver opens his cut-out
and by increasing his speed, passes the
machine In front so fast that he doesn't
see the other occupant of tho read un-
til nearly upon him. The result is an
accident.
Because a car is hired" says Gaf-
ford, many people think the driver
should do things that common sense
tells him he should not. A little extra.
