MRS. EMMERSON
INJURED BY CAR
Mrs. Will Emmerson of Arling
ton, was injured Thursday morn
ing about 6:30 o’clock when she
was struck by an automobile driv
en by G. C. Shaffner. It was
stated that the Shaffner automo
bile knocked Mrs. Emmerson off
the side of the highway as the
driver attempted to pass another
car. The car did not run over the
body, but after striking it, went
for several yards then turned over.
Henry Cockerham, an occupant of
the Shaffner car sustained minor
injuries but the driver was unin
jured.
Mrs. Emmerson, an employee of
the weaving department for many
years, was rushed to the Hugh
Chatham Memorial Hospital by L.
V. Haynes. She was reported to
have several severe cuts and
bruises, but that her condition is
good.
BY WALTEEl F. BURGISS
(Continued from last issue)
Observing the conditions as we
have outlined them takes less
time usually than it required you
to read this, especially after you
have made two or three attempts
to do this.
With a child and a dog playing,
as a usual occurrence half of their
playing time is taken up in tumb
ling over each other on the ground
cr tumbling down and getting up.
Now here is your chance, as they
come out of one of these tumbles,
they are both all smiles, that is if
a dog can smile, the action is very
flow, expression is at it’s highest
value, the dog is waiting for the
child to get up, so he may start
all over again. Here is the time
to shoot, and we’ll wager a dollar
to a doughnut that you will be
i:leased with the results.
Of course this is only an illus
tration. Let your own fancy and
ingenuity work up your subject

Mr. R. W. Harris, Supt.
Chatham Mfg. Co.
Winston-Salem, N. C.
Dear Mr. Harris:
Allow me to congratulate you in
lending to our state one of the
most splendid and best coached
teams it has been our good for
tune to play. The conduct of
2ach player, cn and olf the court
was admirable at all times.
We were expecting a good team
from Chatham Mfg. Co. and our
people were certainly not disap
pointed in the performance Fri
day night. The sting of our de
feat was lessened by the knowl
edge that we were playing real
champions.
