Auto Accident

A very regretable automobile
accident that was most fortunate
in results occurred at the street
crossing one block east of the Lo-
max & Standby bank about noon
last Tuesday, when a car driven by
J. @. Aber knocked down and ran
over B. S. Rankin. Mr.. Rankin
was walking south and stopped to
allow a car going east at a lively
gait to pass but did not see the
Aber car coming from the north
and turning west and stepped right
in front of it. Mr.. Aber was
driving slowly and stopped within
car length. Mr.. Rankin was
knocked down and rolled under the
car, none of the wheels however,
striking his body. He was quite
badly bruised but no bones broken,
the worst injury being the peeling
of the flesh and skin from the back
of his left hand. He was taken to
the office of DIR. Caldwell and his
injuries attended to, and is getting

Likes The Navy

Station Agent Moore received
Tuesday a long letter from Clifford
Shell, musician at the naval train
ing station at Norfolk, Va. He is
getting along fine and likes the
service better all the time. He is
comfortably quartered in a bunga-
low only few yards from where
the mast of the battleship Maine
and other relics of the Spanish
American war are being preserved.
His duties are not arduous and he
says he cannot see how anyone can
complain of that branch of the
service. They have plenty to eat
and it. is we'll prepared, He has
been assigned to a band that
rumor says is being fitted for SER
vice on the Charleston, the flag
ship of the Asiastic squadron now
in dock at Boston. He hopes the
rumor is true as he is anxious to
take to sea and especially if he is
going to be on the flagship because
if there is any fighting to be done
he wants to be in the thickest Of
it. He says they do not know
when they will be ordered out, and
will not know until just few
hours before starting, but from
preparations going on it is believed
they are to embark soon, and all
are anxious for the time to come.
