pants Escape with Minor INJURIES
a. F Martin, r.. IT, Dunlap, Misses
Margaret Dunlap and Sarah Bishop
OF this city, and Fletcher Kuykendall
of Columbia, had narrow escape from
death or serious injury last Wednes-
day night about nine o'clock when a
Ford touring car in which they were
riding toward town collided with
freight train No. 10 on the c., N. e. i,
railroad at the dangerous crossing on
South Hamper street near the Roper
d Companys lumber yard. Other than
few minor cuts and bruises, DR.. r.
~. Hughes, who was called to the
scene, found no immediate injuries to
the passengers and all continued to a
party to which they were going,
thankful for their miraculous escape,
Riding toward town in a drizzling
rain at what all the occupants said
was moderate rate Of speed, the
train was first noticed when they had
approached within about fifteen feet
or the track, too late to avoid a COL
llsion. Miss Bishop, Mr.. Martin and
Mr. dunlap succeeded in getting out
Of the car, but Miss Dunlap and Mr..
kuykendall, who were in the rear seat,
were pinned within and were rescued
by the other members Of the party and
the train crew after the train had
come to a stop.
The train had been shifting in the
freight yard and had moved up the
track, headed toward Greenville, and
had stopped with the last car either on
the bridge or about half way across.
whether or not the train was at a
stand-still or had started to back when
the automobile struck it, the occu-
pants OF the" car do not know, but
they agree that the train moved slow
~ backward at least Immediately af-
ter the collision, pushing the automo-
bile gradually off OF the bridge and
onto the trestle. In It's movement
down the track the car was turned
around and when it reached the edge
OF the bridge plunged head downward
toward the ground about fifteen feet
below BY a seemingly miraculous
fate the rear end was caught between
the cross ties and the bridge railing,
throwing the remaining occupants
Violently downward but leaving the
car suspended in the air.
The car remained hanging over the
bridge for several days and was view
ed by many people,

DIAL ELECTED
ClTY'S MAYOR
John A. Franks Defeated by Marrow
Margin. Easterby Wins In First
Ward.

In the second primary yesterday,
characterized by feverish activity by
candidates and their supporters, Dr..
W. n. Dial was nominated mayor oy-
er the incumbent, John A. Franks, by a
margin of fifteen votes out of a total
OF 1,20l cast. DR.. Dial received COS
and Mr.. Franks 500.
In Ward 1, where the only alder
manic contest was held, ernest d.
Easterby defeated his opponent, r. e.
thompson, by vote Of 6S to 64
In the election for mayor, the ques-
t1on uppermost in the minds of the
political prognosticators was where
the vote OF f. A. Fuller eliminated in
the first primary, would go. In that
primary Mr. Franks lead Dr. Dial by
~ votes. his total being 431 votes
against DR., Dials 4O4. The question
was whether the leader could hold his
strength and break even with lDr. Dial
on the Fuller vote, which was 300. The
returns indicated yesterday that DR..
Dial was ablo to turn to his adyan-
tage necessary majority of the Fuller
following.
Although interest in 1.-The election
was at high pitch, the campaign of
both mayoralty as we'll as the alder
manic candidates was pitched on high
plane and no bitterness made itself
felt.
The following is the tabulated vote

HEAVY DOCKET
FACES COURT
General Sessions Court TO Convene
Monday. TimmOns and Willard
Case Scheduled for Trial.

When His Honor, John S. Wilson, of
manning, opens court at Laurens next
Monday morning he will face the
heaviest criminal docket that has ever
existed in the history of the county
according to the docket as made up by
e. A. Power, clerk of court.
There appears on the docket, car
ried over from last court, forty cases
for trial, Among that number Is one
case for arson, one for burglary and
larceny. for assault and battery with
intent to kill and carrying concealed
weapons, 13 for violation of the pro-
hibition law, for forgery, 3 for lar
ceny,I5 for disposing of property un-
der lien. The others for various Of
fenses. In addition to the above the
clerk has placed in the solicitors
hands more than one hundred new
warrants for consideration by the
grand jury. These consist as follows:
2 for murder, IA for passing worthless
checks, Fl for violation Of prohibition
law, 10 for larceny, for assault and
battery with intent to kill. The others
consist Of various charges.
At the last term of the court of
General Sessions there were ninety
eight cases on tho docket for trial,
when all the bills were passed on by
the grand jury, which was the largest
number on the docket at the same time
in the history of the county, but when
the bills are all passed on at this term
the number will exceed this by several
cases.
Among the more important cases
Will be that of Luther Timmons and
Monroe Willard charged with murder
in connection with the death Of Hosea
Martin, Laurens policeman, killed in
an effort to arrest Tlmmons and VIII
lard In an alleged attempt to convey
l'@hiskey from the mountains to Clin-
ton. DIR. st. Clair Hays, of Clinton,
who performed the autopsy at the Clin-
ton hospital after Martin had died. Is
taking special course of medicine in
Now York and on this account q con-
tinuance of the case may be attempt
cd. However, no definite statements
have been made to this effect by at
tornfys interested in the case.
The officers are making every effort
to have everything in readiness, so
there will be no delay in getting down
to business. With this number of cas-
es there are always some witnesses
who do not appear promptly on first
day of court. In view OF the longest
ed docket Mr.. Power has urged that
all jurors and witnesses appear on
time.

washington, March THE com
promise soldiers bonus bin car,.vino
q Dank provision in place OF the cash
ihstallment payment plan originally
proposed and once approved by the
! rouse, finally was agreed to today bv
iDu5lican members of the ways and
means committe 1t was introduced
later in the House by Chairman Ford
ney, who announced that it would not
be called up until next Monday, if
then.
Passage Of the bill was predicted bv
Mr.. Fordney. His opinion appeared to
be shared by members Of the House
generally, some Of whom said that on
the 1lnal vote party lines would disap-
pear. There was some speculation in
House lobbies and corridors as ta
President Harding's views of the com
promise plan and also as to whether
he would find occasion to express
those views before the House voted.
Chairman Fordney still declined to
say whether he had discussed the
compromise with the executive. At
the White House it was said that Mr..
Harding had not studied it, and con-
sequently had not formed an opinion
OF the bank loan provision. He was
represented, however, as maintaining
the same position that he did when
he wrote Mr.. Fordney on February
l6, that the bonus either should be
paid by "a sales tax or the legislation
postponed.
Some OF the majority members Of
the committee believe hat since the
new plan defers for three years any
large drain on the federal treasury
the President will not object to it.
Thcy0 say the compromise will en-
able needy veterans to obtain cash
without the necessity of imposing ad-
ditional taxes on the general public.
Mr.. Fordney said he entire ways
and means committee would met on
Saturday when the Democrats would
have an opportunity to Wass judgment
on he bill.
Aside from the substitution of the
bank loan provision for the cash pay
ment plan, the bill as introduced is
very similar to that previously passed
by the House. The only immediate
cash payment proposed is to veterans
whose adjusted service pay would not
exceed $50. Other veterans could Sc
lect one Of four options.
