jifuilty to being drunk and disorder
ly in court a week previiusly, and

asking that judgment be given.
A long drawn out case and one
that waa fought vigorously by both
sides was that in which George Mc-
'Connick, colored, was indicted for
an assault with o deadly weapon,
an assault with n deadly weopos,
namely, an automobile, upon C'aaii
Woodall* white, the night of May
7th. In the affair. Woodall was
badly hurt, having a foot run over
and has teen in Baker’s Sanatorium
since the accident. It was the states
contention that W’oodall and a. party
were going in the directiin of An
tioch from towards Dundarrach aM
that when they got near the state
wait dead on them and that they
decided to turn it oround and
leave it ,in the yard of a colored
.man who lived near by. 'That they
turned the car around and that it
well to the right side

M^g and the occupants engaged in
cmversation wffh thtm until they
saw the reflected liglit of a cai
^ming from the direction of Dun
darrach and that immediately the
wagon pulled clwwn the road
a distance of 28 steps, leoving
an^le room fir a car to pass. That
a high rate of speed and when It
ttey had lights of their car on and
tiiat the car of McCormick came at
got within about ten steps of the
>sffked car ie i.umerl ti the left ai'
wttit around the parked car and ran
over Woodall, who. in his fright,
was attempeting to get entirely cut
of tiieroad for fear his car w'ould
be struck, his testimony being that
he was behind his car. He stated
that he fell as he ottempted to get
out of the road. All of the State s
witiiesses testified that the lights
were on the parked car. This was
denied by the witnesses for the de
fendant. The defendant claimed that

from the parked car that, he was
running at a spqed of 25 to 30 miles
per hour; that she road was dusty
arid the night was dark; that when he
got got within about ten steps cf the
porked car .he saw a wagon on the left
.qnd. rather than run into the wages
where he saw an occupant or run
into the car which he thought might
be occupied, too, he took all the eisk
on himself and ean around to the
-left, clear of the parked car al‘ the
risfe- of crashing into the bank and
wrecking his car. He testified that
there were no lights in the parked
car, that the wagon appeared to be
olmost opposite the car and that
hev applied his brakes but had not
t^e in which to bring his car to a
atop.., All 'of the evidence showed
thot^'M@Sonn^' went •' on -to -Red
Springs as soon as he got his car
out of ; the ditch to see aboct the in
jured man and that he went to the
hospital in Lumberton the next day
to see about him. Judgement in the
case was reserved for one week, the
court desiring more time in which to
consider it.

the W. J. MeUiarrrad farm West oi
liaeford, was carged with an as
sault with o deoaiy weapon, it toe
ing charged that she shot a pistol
three times at one James Gillespie,
an old colored man, at some two hun
dred yards distance. Annie claimed
that there had been a row among
tne children and the Gillespie crowd
had been imposing on her daughter
and that, she, iteing a lone widder
woriidn, had to protect herself as beat
she could and that in order to run
Gilleapie off, she shot three times
into some woods where she had seen
Gillespie go. She was taxed with
the costs and all parties were warn

prove serious.

AUTO WRECK CAME
NEAR BEING FATAL
While riding with Mr. and Mrs.

some other parties last Friday after
noon, Miss Mattie Peele was in an
autoiffobile wreck that came near
proving fatal for her and that has
confined her to IWed since with very
painful injuries, though her recovery
is expected. It seems that while
crossing highway No. 20 near Laurel
Hill a car coming down the high
way ,ran into the rear of the Bul
lard car and caused a bad wreck,
though Miss Peele was the only on^
hurt. Since the accident she has
been at the home of Miss Mollie
Bullard in Scotland county.
