MR.. w. L. CARLTON
HAPPENED TO ACCIDENT,

Mr.. W. L. Carlton, one of Area
dia's most prominent business men,
happened to a serious accident yester-
day afternoon about 80.
He was driving alone in his Ford
car between Horse Creek and Pine
Level, when his car became unman-
ageable, ran into n ditch and overturn-
ed ,pinning him fast under it. The
overturned car held every part of his
body fast except the head which made
1t utterly impossible for him to extri-
cate himself. The door of the car rest
ed Immediately on his throat. and II
was with the greatest difficulty that
he could breathe. Mr.. Carlton. who
never lost consciousness for a single
moment Of the long period of one ana
one-half hours before help came, said
he felt that his time had come, espe-
eially since there would probably be
no one to pass the road until too late
to render him assistance.
Imagine his joy at about the hour
of -four to hear the voices of two la
dies who were driving by. The ladies
Immediately came to his rescue. and
by raising the car slightly from his
throat enabled him to breathe more
freely. Assistance was Immediately
summoned from a nearby farm house
Where he was taken until medical as
sistance could he had. DR.. McSwair
responded promptly to the call, and
washed and dressed his wounds which
while many and painful. are not re
garded as serious.
A cash four inches long was cut or
MS head, and his nose is also badl!
lacerated, but he does not appear t.
nave received any internal injuries.
This morning Mr.. Carlton is feeling
and doing as we'll as could he expect
"a under the, circumstances, and it Il
hoped that it will be but short while
ee'ore he is sound again.
