DRIVER CUT AND BRUISED.
And John carroll's Lincoln Automobile
Badly Damaged.

| Turning out too far TO let another
car by on the road to Granitevills
caused John Carroll OF Summer street
to drive his Lincoln automobile into d
large tree Saturday evening.
Mr.. Carroll had left this city early
in the evening with the intention Of
taking a ride around the "hill," He had
proceeded as far as the three roads
corner Just below the home Of DR.. f.
H Bailey in GraniteviIle when he saw
another car coming down the hill at a
fair rate Of speed, so he pulled out to
the side Of the road Evidently he
misjudged the distance for he had trav
eled only few feet when the right
hand side Of his car struck heavily
against a tree.
W. j. Duquette of Graniteville, the
driver of the other car, hearing the
crash, went to the assistance Of Mr..
Carroll DIR. Bailey was called from
his home nearby to dress cut in
the mans head where it had come into
contact with the windshield. Several
stitches had 10 be taken to close the
wound. Outside Of the cut, Mr.. Car
roll suffered only a few bruises and
was able to ride to his home here with
Mr.. Duquette.
The heavy Lincoln car did not escape
as easily as its lone occupant, how
ever. When the heavy vehicle struck
the tree 1T tore out huge section of
bark with its spring steel bumper and
keeled over ON it's side after rolling
along for short distance When ex-
amined by wreckers from the Palace
garage, who brought the car to this
city, it was found to be in badly
damaged condition. The double spring
bumper was twisted up like piece of
wire and the force Of the contact had
broken headlight and fender doubled
the frame back around on the right
hand side, and drove the wheel and
axle back for a distance of two feet.
This later damage caused the front
spring 10 snap in two and a portion
OF it penetrated the crank case When
The car rolled over on its side the rear
right fender and running board were
hent mp. The thick plate glass wind
shield of the car was broken where
Mr.. Carroll's head came into contact
with it.
The ear was towed to the Palace
garage here for repairs and the dam
age was roughly estimated by mechan-
les as being about s700
No blame is attached to the driver
Of the other vehicle by Mr. Carroll or
those who arrived just after the acci-
dent.
