Chapin stated that there had . ’ a collision between two automo tT one driven by Mr. J. T. Hender- the other by Mr. R. B. Lam beth of the firm of Atwater and Lara b The message further stated that Tj P nderson was badly hurt. Dr. Chap m and several of our citizens imme- Satelv went to the scene of the acci jL t which occurred about 400 yards m.rth of the bridge over Haw river, re-ir the residence of Walter Riddle on the Chapel Hill road. From what we can learn it seems that Mr. Henderson, and a negro man, Ben Mitchell, in the car with him, were on their way to Pittsboro. Mr. Lambeth was on his way to his home beyond Bynum when the two cars met in a head-on collision. It is said that Mr. Lambeth turned his car to ;L right and slowed down, but it is append that the lights from the Lambeth car blinded Mr. Henderson “d he ran into the Lambeth car, damaging both cars considerably. Mr. Henderson was so badly hurt that he died in a few minutes after the accident. His head was bruised and and it is thought his neck was broken. Besides being hurt about the head his back was also bruised and he was otherwise hurt. The negro Mitchell, was shook up and bruised about the body, but nothing serious. Mr. Lambeth was hurt in the breast but the wound is not considered dan gerous. He was in his store Tuesday morning at work. Mr. Henderson has a grocery store about seven miles from Pittsboro, near Mt. Pleasant Methodist church, and he came to town nearly every night. He was on his way home when the fatal accident occurred. His remains were brought to Pitts boro Monday night and taken to his home. The funeral services were held in the Methodist church at Pittsboro conducted by Rev. G. W. Perry, pas tor of the Methodist church at Car thage, assisted by Rev. J. J. Boone. His" remains were interred in the* Methodist cemetery at Pittsboro. He was buried by the Junior Or der, of which he had been a member for some years. The accident is a most deplorable one and has cast a gloom over the town, caused by the suddenness of it. Mr. Henderson had many friends here and elsewhere who will be pain ed to learn of his sudden end. Mr. Henderson leaves a wife and several children, two brothers, Chas. L. and Alfred Henderson, and one sis ter to mourn his death. He was about 46 years of age and was a son of the late Isaac Henderson who was drown ed several years ago. NOTICE.
