FLIVvER AND BUGGY
BOTH DEMOLISHED
SHELLMAN NEGRO FULL OF
SHINE" DROVE FORD CAR
RECKLESSLY SUNDAY.

Three negroes who had imbibed a
quantity of "moonshine" and possess
ed Ford car tried to break the speed
record from Graves to Shellman Sun
day about dark, but their trip was
abruptly cut short when they smash
ed into buggy on the road two miles
the other side of Graves.
From reports of the occurrence it
seems that Willie Hawk, who was
plotting the fivver, crashed directly
into John Bufin's buggy as the latter
was attempting to turn off the main
road in front OF the old Cobb place.
The buggy was reduced to kindling
wood while the Ford was almost de-
molished by the impact caused by the
speed of the automobile. Officers went
immediately to the scene Of the wreck
and brought Hawk, who lives in
Shellman and works for the King
Lumber Co. to the county Jail, where
he is awaiting commitment trial. None
Of the negroes were seriously hurt, al
though all were more or less bruised.
It is miraculous that the negro i'll the
buggy was not killed.
