SOME MORE AUTO
MOBILE ACCIDENTS

On the cement road, between Har-
beson and Georgetown, on Saturday
night, the cars of William Street,
Coolspring, and Elmer Blizzard, near
Milton, collided near HarbesOn.
Street was cut about the head when
the wind shield of his car broke, while
his wife escaped with slight bruises.
Blizzard was unhurt. Both cars were
wrecked. The cars were approaching
each other and both drivers were
afraid to get off the cement because of
the soft condition of the shoulders of
the road, which have just been built.
At first it was thought that Streets
skull was fractured but an eXamina
ton by a physician disproved this.
An automobile driven by Edward
Glendaniel, Milton, ran into the car
riage driven by Samuel Burris, near
Milton on Saturday evening. No great
damage was done to either the auto
mobile or carriage, but the two men
got into a fight over the accident with
the result that Clendaniel was hale6
before Squire Lank of Milton and held
in bail for court for assault and bat
terry on the person of Burris.
