SWERVED TO
AVOID CHILD
Machine Then Plunged Down
Bank. One Badly Hurt.

Saturday night while en- route to
South Pittsburg from Guild, a Ford
car owned and driven by Herbert
Quarles, was wrecked near Battle
Greek Bridge. A small child sud
denly ran into the road as he was
passing some people, and Quarles
swerved the car to the bank to avoid
hitting it. The machine got to near
the edge and turned over, one pas
senger, James Doss, of Guild, re-
ceiving severe injuries to his should
er. The hank is steep and road
narrow and Quarles had little op-
portunity to avoid the child and
stay on the road.

FLORIDA PEOPLE
FACE DEATH
Car Turns Over In Run
away On Mountain
Road
MIR. and Mrs. Barker of
Plant City, Fla, Bad
ly Injured.

"I've got out all right" was the
exclamation of 7-year old boy, the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Bark
er, Of Plant City, Fla, as he ran up
to wagon on the mountain road
containing two startled occupants,
A. J. Curtis and son, VIII, Thurs
day evening about 5 o'clock. The
boy crawled from beneath an over
turned automobile, which had pitch
ed over about twenty feet from them
and he miraculously had escaped
without injury. His parents, how.
ever. did not fare so well, as Mrs.
Barker was badly crushed and bruis-
ed about back and shoulders and
Mr.. Barker received broken collar
bone. Mr.. OFT Kallis, who was
driving, and his wife, who was in
rear seat with Mrs. Barker, escaped
without injury.
Mr.. Curtis and son, Will, were
coming up the mountain road IN a
one horse wagon, and when near the
water station, were startled at seeing
an automobile bearing down on them
at terrific speed. To turn out of
the way was impossible for either,
owing to the narrowness of the road,
and Mr.. Kallis endeavored to check
the machine by running it close to
the bank, but it surmouuted some
rocks and toppled over.
The party were on their way from
Bowling Green, Ky, where they had
been visiting, to Plant City, Fla
where they reside and where both
men are in business. Coming down

the mountain they stopped at the
water station and had lunch, but in
resuming the journey the machine, a
Ford, got too great a start and the
brakes failed to hold. The wind
shield was smashed, radius rods bent,
and shackle to spring broken, besides
an axle bent, otherwise the car was
not much damaged. A rear tire
bursted as the machine tore down
the road
Surgeon f. L. Minor of this city,
was summoned to give first aid TO the
injured, and under his direction they
were taken TO Jasper to the Lankes-
ter Hotel, where DIR. Shelton gave
treatment.
The car was taken next day to
Jasper for repair by mechanics from
the Pryor garage, after which the
party resumed their journey.
1t was another narrow escape from
death by automobilists at this same
point, another party having had a
similar experience there about two
months ago. The sensation is the
remarkable escape of the little son of
MIR. and Mrs Barker, who did not
get scratch.

ApettaIIO lie NeSOS.
This has been very impress
sive week. Most of all was
Thursday, the 18th At about
8 a. m. the bands from Love
Field and Camp Dick arrived at
the City Hall. At 8 a. m. there
was a regiment of soldiers led
the march to the courthouse, a
distance of three miles, and back,
and thousands of men who were
there to register fell in line and
marched after the soldiers. All
seemed proud to get in and do all
they can for our country. 1t
brings sad thoughts to ones
mind to hear the bands of music
calling our boys to service. We
that can't go, can only remain
here and do our little mite, and
trust to the all-wise and merciful
God to lead us thru the dark
places. ] hope that it will all be
over next spring, as it appears
the end is drawing near, and
when we get a half million ov-
er there our boys will make a
drive for Berlin and they will go.
When they make that drive there
will be hard fighting and great
loss of life, but they will go on
and then victory will crown their
efforts, and the DEVILS side part
ner will have to give up. In the
registration Thursday there were
1896 in the city. 1t is estimat-
ed that the grand total of this
registration will be about twenty
millions less the exemptions. 1t
looks like they should get enough
to put old Kaiser Bill out of busi-
ness. To get them overseas is
the greatest problem. About
$50, 900 is as many as they can
get over every month. and at that
rate about three million is all
they can put over in a year. 1t
