Kings Mountain Herald, Nov. 5: II
was next to marvellous how Misses
Eloise Willetord and Kate Mclaughlin
escaped with their lives yesterday
morning. One foot more and the au-
tomobile in which they were riding
would have plunged headlong into tile
lhlrty foot cut, ten yards south OF the
overhead bridge in Kings Mountain.
Miss Willeford mad taken ner brother 8
car and she and Miss Mclaughlin were
on pleasure ride. They went up rail-
road avenue on the east side TO the
overhead bridge, crossed the brioSe
and started back up on the west slde.
Tnere Is right angle turn In leaving
the bridge. Ihis they made very nice
ly but by some means Miss Wlilerord
was unable to set the machine straight
aiIer making the turn and II proceed
ed toward the completion OF the circle
wnIcn would have had diameter or
thirty Ieet. Tnis course was taking
lne car headlong toward the cut. There
was an old wooden guard along side
the cut but IL was ola and rotten. The
machine struck 1t, knocked II down ana
rolled over IL and was within foot or
the brink wnen the brakes were ap-
pned and the car stopped. 1t was the
most frightful thing tnat ever occur
red here and we all feel graterul tnat
IL was no worse. .....S. Il. Miller ana
IamIly or Route 2, have moved TO town
and are living near the Baptist cnurcn.
Mr.. Miller has position as station
nand at the depot and succeeds Mr..
same position some tive years ago af-
ter serving eighteen months. Poll
tics held sway here Saturday. The
farmers didn't hold their regular Sat
urday meeting, and that must have
been the reason. Many or them were
IN town but too busy discussing the
political issues to bother with cotton
tor this once.
Gastonia Gazette, Nov. 2: By ma
iorlIies ranging from Ala to $50, Gao
ION county went Democratic in Tues

gin. though in some instances the he
publican vote was larger than usual.

there has been a most encouraging I'M
provement in the general business OUT

almost every department OF business,
and even the most conservative among

have the strongest hopes for continued
betterment Of conditions. The Gazette
this morning interviewed a number OF
the leading mill men Of Gastonia and

in the prices offered Tor
the manufactured products, but the
business is coming their way ana
strengthening OF prices must OF ne
cessity follow soon. Recently there
have been all sorts OF reports current
as to this mill or that mill standing
IDLE or running on short time. AT the
expense OF considerable time and trou-
BILE, the Gazette made complete can
yass Of the local mills this morning
