Sunday and Sunday night was the
scene of many minor mishaps, acct
dents and breakdowns added with
collision by several automobilists. A
large number of the automobilists
for the day were rich negroes, riding
around making a public display of
themselves. Most of them gave lit
tie or no trouble but we're too drunk
to care for the consequences and so
drove over the county roads at break
neck speed.
A very narrow escape from serious
injury, which resulted in cars being
damaged, was reported near Shiloh,
about 10 o'clock, as a Mr.. Wright
while returning home with his family,
was struck by a rushing car in which
were several men and women. One
side of Mr.. Wright's car was stripped
while the other machine came in con-
. tact with a large telephone pole and
was damaged to such an extent that
it was abandoned for the rest of the
night. Fortunately the occupants of
both automobiles were uninjured, ex
cept from a severe shake-up and ner-
vous fright. The damage to the ma
chimes amounted to several hundred |
dollars.
