C., Wednesday, July 26, 1922 MRS. G. A. JONES IN HOSPITAL .Revival At Capella Child Breaks An Arm—Voters Dis pleased With Convention Or" Democrats. Kmc. Julv 21.—Mrs. (i. A. Imps, of this section, was arricd to the '.Martin Hospial in Mount Airy last Friday for treatment. We are sorry to learn that she is seriously ill at this writing. A protracted meeting is in progress at Capella at this writing, being well attended and much interest shown. Th:> son of Mr. Luke Spainhour, of Mt. Olive, had the misfortune to break his arm a few days since. I The Sunday schools of this section are preparng programs for the Sunday School convention at King on August sth. The Mt. Olive Sunday school will visit the orphanage at Thomasvillo next Friday. The wheat crop in this section is soiv.e better than expected. The peo ple are about through threshing. G. W. Smith and others, while threshing wheat last Saturday, ran a pitchfork through the gin, causing things to look dangerous for a little while. A good many of the people of this section attended the Democratic con' vention at Danbury Saturday. They report that the convention was not very harmonious and that a lot of hard words were spoken. We hope the hardness will not last very lotig. but some say it will last for many years. A lot of the people who have stood by their parties for many years say that they are going to vote now as they please regardless of any poli tical issues or candidates. They say they can be led but not driven. SCRIBBLER MISTRIAL IN SHELTON CASK Jury Brought Here From Surry County Fails To Agree—Men Dismissed Saturday .Morning and Civil Court Adjourned.

I ]-year-old son of Mr. I md Mr.-. i.-tvii Main*, v.h> reside I near Mca.; r.vs, was seriously injured Sunda\ morning when -in automobile, j driven 1.. R:iey Turner, "f Meadows, passed i >m;)letely over his body. j When puked uj> the child was appa- J rently dead, but ail examination j revealed the fact that he wis s'iii j ' living hut bailly cut and bruised at n | number of places on his body and | j head. Dr. A. G. Jones, of Walnut , Cove, was immediately called and he . dresse • the wounds, several stitches t being required to close a cut on th J • leg. When seen Sunday afternoon [ the little fellow was unable to move , one ami and one K ir, while one whole | side of his face was black from a ( terrible bruise. He will likely re . cover. j At till- time of the accident the car , jwas descending the long grade just i| east of Mr. Mabe's home and the boy r | was mar the foot of the hill trying! .'to got his father's cows into the pas- j jture. Just before the car reached the] ; I point where he was one of the cows ,' made an effort to get away and the \ ; little fellow ran after her, the car j , striking him as he crossed the road. He was knocked down and dragged under the car for some distance be ; fore i: could be stopped, the dis tance being about thirty feet. I A gentleman, commenting on the I accident Sunday, said that every driver of arr automobile should always |be prepared to stop immediately when passing children near the mad, as they often thoughtlessly run into the road in front of a passing car. Accidents of this kind, he said, make us a little more careful for a short ' time perhaps, but some innocent child I has to give its life or be crippled per r haps for life to teach us to be more careful. STOKES HAS 1436 AUTOMOBILES One Car For Every Fourteen People In County—Only 20 Counties Have More Cars In Proportion To Population. According to the report of the Sec retary of State at Raleigh, op March 22, 11)22, Stokes county had 143(> au ' to mobiles, or one car for every four -1 teen people in the county. There are, 1 t>f course, considerably more cars in the county now than when this report was made in March last. Only twenty counties in the State have more cars ■ ' in proportion to population than we have, while 71) counties have less. As "jfar as automobiles are concerned our county seems to be keeping up with the procession pretty well. Guilford |county leads in the number of cars | in proportion to population, having |5,514, or one for every nine inhabi tants of the county. Yancey foots the list with only 40 automobiles or one for every 1577 inhabitants. j Death Of Former Stokes County Man ' | Mr. Hardin W.
