WOMAN KILLED AND OTHERS
INJURED IN CLIFTON WRECK
Fatal Accident Occurs When Car
Driven by D. W. Ham Leaves
Road in Curve at Bridge

Miss Steadman, Lansing Larger
Parish field worker, was fatally in
jured and Shubie Taylor and Der
wood Howell were seriously hurt
when the open Ford roadster in which
they were returned home from re-
ligious meeting at Green Valley left
the road and plunged down steep,
rock embankment to the river last
Friday night.
The accident occurred after the
driver, Wesley Ham, had crossed the
bridge at Clifton, headed toward
Warrensville. The bridge at that point
goes directly toward a bank but the
road turns at sharp right angle to
make curve. 1t is reported that Mr..
Ham was unfamiliar with the road
and that when he saw he was going
into the bank he swerved the car
away from it only to lose control as
it went over the river bank.
Rev. and Mrs. F. P. Cook, who had
also been attending the Green Valley
meeting, were in car in front of the
wrecked automobile and were able to
render immediate aid; otherwise, the
accident might have been more tragic.
Miss Steadman, whose skull was
punctured by part of the metal rods
that hold the glass in the windshield,
was carried to the Wilkes Hospital
where she died Sunday night. Her
body will be returned to her home in
New York state for burial.
Shubie Taylor is still in a serious
condition according to reports. His
scalp was literally torn from his head
and the subsequent bleeding almost
caused death before aid could be rem
dered. He also suffered two arm
fractures. Derwood Howell was cut
about the face and head, and his nose
broken.
Visitors on the scene of the wreck
marvel that any of the persons rid
ing in the car at the time escaped
with their lives. Only one was re-
ported to have been thrown into the
river, but he was able to keep his
head clear of the water as he was
in shallow part near the edge.

JEFFERSON HIGH SCHOOL
COMMENCEMENT UNDERWAY
Alumni to Preach Sermon; President
of LenOir Rhyme to Speak; Ex-
cellent Play Scheduled

G. B. Price, principal of the Jeffer-
son High School, is glad to announce
that he is able to present a graduate
of the school as a commencement
speaker this year. Rev. Lee Barnet,
class of 1929 who received his Mas
ters degree from Duke University
this spring, will deliver the bacca-
laureate sermon Sunday morning at
eleven o'clock at the jefferson Meth
odist church. Rev. Barnett is especi-
ally fitted to speak to the senior class
since the success he has achieved has
been attained through ambition and
hard work. He is one of the outstand-
ing alumni of the school.
DR.. P. E. Monroe, president of
Lenoir- Rhyme College, will deliver
the literary address on Thursday
night when the commencement will
come to a close with the awarding of
diplomas.
The play this year, "Skidding", will
be presented on Wednesday evening,
May 8, at eight o'clock. 1t is a three
act comedy and will be staged by the
Lenoir-Rhyne Playmakers.
Departing this year from the usual
custom Of presenting a play by the
high school students, the school will
sponsor this comedy under the direc-
ton of Miss Pearl Setter, director
of dramatics at Lenoir-Rhyne. The
play, which is conferred around the
efforts of Judge James Hardy, of
Idaho, to get himself renominated
without becoming involved in scam
dial, is filled with wit, humor, and
pathos, and promises a full evening
of entertainment.
"Skidding" has been presented in
many of our larger towns during the
past month, among which are Hick-
DRY, Gastonia, and Lincolnton. From
all places have come glowing reports
of it's success. 1t is felt that "Skidd-
ing" will prove to be one of the most
enjoyable productions seen in Ashe
county in some time.
The remainder of the program in
cludes the children's program on
Tuesday evening which will be an
operetta, "The Land of Dreams Come
True" The district commencement
will be held Wednesday morning at
ten o'clock.
All of the programs will be given
