AUTO DEMOLISHED WHILE
OCCUPANTS ARE lJNHURT
Two Prominent Residents of Pelham
Have Narrow Escape When Train
Destroys Big Touring Car.

Sunday morning at Smithville, the
Central of Georgia passenger train
which arrives here at 6:45, struck a
new touring car, completely demol-
ishing it. The two occupants escaped
with minor injuries. The car was
driven by M, T. Payne, of Pelham,
who with J. M. Hurst, of the same
city, the onlv occupants, were on
their way to Mona Springs to join
their families, who are spending the
month at that place.
Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Hurst stated
that as they approached the crossing
they slowed their car down to almost
standstill to ascertain if train was
coming, and after listening carefully
they proceeded to cross.
At this place the railroad track
makes wide circle and the train was
hidden from view by high embank-
ment. As the car approached from
the south the front wheels of the au-
tomobile had barely crossed the first
rail when the car was struck by the
OAS AONOAiOIINS, USlIS uIdSS6Q along
the track several feet before being
hurled again the embankment and
reduced to mass of junk.
Mr.. Hurst stated that when he
first saw the approaching train it was
only few feet from the crossing
and realizing that they would be un-
able to get across the track told Mr..
Payne to jump. He had managed to
get to the running board when the
car was struck, being thrown a dis
lance of about thirty feet, his left
arm being broken above the wrist,
besides several gashes on the face,
and being badly bruised on other
parts of the body. Mr.. Payne was
uninjured except being badly jolted
by the fall.
Both parties were able to walk
back to the hotel. at Smithville and
after receiving necessary medical at
tention proceeded to Mona Springs.
Mr.. Hurst is general manager of the
Hand Trading company of Pelham,
one of the largest retail store in the
South, while Mr.. Payne is employed
by the same concern as head sales
man of their grocery department.
