An auto party on their way from
Wilmington to Salisbury last week met
with a very serious accident about
two miles north of town on Saturday
when their auto crashed into a tele-
graph Pole. DR.. l.. H. Cahall, who
dressed their wounds, pronounced a
woman of the party in a very serious
condition. She was rushed to the
Salisbury hospital, and is still in a
critical condition One of the men
also was hurt pretty badly, but his
chances for recovery are better than
those of the woman. Three small
children who were in the car at the
time were bruised some, but none
were hurt very badly. Just what
caused the accident is not known, but
it is thought that something went
wrong with the steering gear, because
the road at this point is very wide,
also very good. The car is torn up
pretty badly but can be repaired. All
of the occupants live IN Wilmington.
