"A petition was handed to w. c.
McArthur, superintendent of educa-
ticn, yesterday morning from the peo-
bile living out in the country around
Blaeksburg. This petition was to the
effect that the. people want either a
new school building erected or a truck
TO take the children to the Blacks
burg school,. and Mrs. John
Hughes of this city, had narrow es-
cape from a serious accident when
they collided with big Studebakcr
car at the crossroads about four miles
this side Of York, Sunday afternoon.
The Studebaker bore Georgia license
and was running little too fast to
negotiate a quick stop. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hughes had been on visit to the lat
ter's father and were returning to
Gaffney. The approach of the cross
ing is partly obscured by underbrush
On both roads, both cars by describing
a curve narrowly missed a head-on
collision. but struck and brushed each
other, landing, in gully on the side of
the road. The Georgia car suffered a
door being crushed, tenders broken
and one light displaced. The Hughes
car he'd its front axle bent, left light
rods bent and running board sprung
out of shape. After a brief examina-
ton of their respective cars, both par
ties agreed that the brush" was un-
;yoidable and that the fault, IL any,
was equally divided and each resumed
their journey. The Hughes car had
the rod which holds the lights in po
sitlon bent so that the left light was
focused out to the side, while the right
one was in the center of the road. Mrs.
Hughes is the local manager of the
Western Union telegraph office in
Gaffney.
