What came near proving a very
serious accident occurred on the
main road from Walhalla to High
lands. \. c., last Wednesday after
noon somewhere about $40 or
O'Clock, when a Ford machine, driven
by Fl. q. Mays, mail carrier between
Walhalla and Highlands, left the
road and tumbled some distance
down the mountain. H. r. Hughs,
Esq, Of Walhalla, was in the car
with Mr.. Mays when the accident oc-
CURED, and both we're rendered tenn
porarily unconscious. Mr.. Hughs
was the first to regain consciousness,
and he says that he woke up' some
40 feet below the road level at the
place where the machine left the
road. Mr.. Hughs was pinned be-
meath the car, which, fortunately
seems to have lodged in such man
ner as to be pretty centrally pivoted,
by reason of which fact Mr.. Hughs
was enabled to slightly raise the ma
chine and gradually work his body
from under 1t. When he finally got
his body released he called to Mr.
Mays, but received no response. On
locating him, however, it was discOv-
cred that Mays was just regaining
consciousness, and he remained in a
daZed condition for several minutes,
and blood was flowing profusely
from his nose and wounds on his
head. The two finally regained the
roadway and started out in pursuit
Of some one with team to pull out
the machine. The two got to Pine
Mountain, Ga, and were furnished
transportation in wagon to Noun
tain Rest, and from there were sent
ON to Walhalla in car, reaching
town about 1 a. m. Thursday. Mr..
Hughs suffered the breaking Of three
ribs, Mr.. Mays escaping with only
bruises and a blow on the head,
which rendered him unconscious, but
did not result otherwise seriously.
Both Mr.. Hughs and Mr.. Mays were
about with friends the following day,
the latter going back after his wreck
ed car. Mr.. Hughs, however, still Is
feeling the effects OF his fall, though
rapidly getting back to normal con-
dition. Just what caused the acct
dent Is not known. Mr.. Mays Is
credited with being one Of the most
careful and safest drivers Of car,
though circumstances at times COM
pei him to do some pretty fast driv-
Ing to meet schedule requirements.
At the time the accident occurred,
however, both parties say that the
machine was making moderate speed.
The car suffered broken Windshield.
Another car fine young mules to
arrive this week. Extra smooth
ones. Don't fail to see them. Neville
