TJpKjgJ WOMEN ARE HURT
f4^! AUTOMOB to ACCIDENT
S? ? T
Bryson CityJJimes, Oct. 10? A col
lision of two automobiles last Sun
^day about noon! at a point about
five miles east of Bryson Qity re
salted in the, injury of three women.
The accident occurred at the west
end of the bridge across the Ocona
Lufty, where the road leading front
Whittier intersects with the main
highway from Cherokee.
Mr. Grace Flemming and wife and
a Miss Payne, all pf Almond, weje
riding in a -Chevrolet touring car be
longing to Mr. Flemming, and just as
they reached the intersection of tha
Whittier road and Overland car in
which G. H. Cope, of Murphy, his
wife and twochildren dashed into the
side of Mr. Flemming 's car, badly
damaging it and causing painful in
juries to three of the women. The
car driven by Mr. Cope was just
turning cut of the Whittier road in
to the main highway, as Fleming'
drove up. , % \ _
Mr. Cope stated that he thought
the Flenuning car was going toi take
the Whittier road and would pass on
the right side of his i car, therefore
Cope, it is said, steered to the right,
as would have been proper if Flem
miug had taken the Whittier road,
and it struck the Chevrolet squarely
in the center. ) v
Mrs. Flemming suffered a~sprained
ankle and Mrs. "Cope sustained severe
bruises, while Miss Payne received
two painful cuts . on the /head. Th?i
injured people were taken to the
office of Dr. Bennett in Bryson City,
yrherc their wounds were treated.

If no candidate receives a majority jn the electoral college, the duty

If -the house fails to elect, by the Fourth of March, inauguration day,
the viee president sueceeds to the presidency, and it is, the duty of the
senate to elect a vice president from the two highest candidates for that

OLAY COUNTY MAN
/ KILLS HIS FATHER
Tri-County News, Oct 10.? J.
Wesley Dayton was fatally shot by
his father in self-defense, when the
home, some four miles south o?
HayesvillC; near Georgia Ho* last
vVednesday. monriig. . [>;e eidor
Dayton died Friday night.
ll said that the young man shot
shot his father in self-defense, when
latter drew a shot gun on the young
man. Young Dayton used a revolver,
the bullet taking effect just .over the
heart, ranging down and penetraing
a part of one lung. Pneumonia set
in, and death resulted Friday.
There are many and conflicting
reports of just what brought on the
quarrel that resulted in the shooting
the only point upon which there
seems to be general agreement is
that there had been domestic , trouble
ranging over quite a long period re
sulting finally in the death of the
elder Dayton. It is known that the
dead man was separated from his
wife and it is said here that the
quarrel was over the young man's
mother; another version of the affair
is that the immediate cause of the
quarrel was over a wheat drill. At
any rate, according to the best in
formation obtainable, a heated quar "
rel occurred, the father drawing a
shot gun on the young man, it is said
and he, in turn, shooting his father
with the revolver. v
Young Dayton came to Hayesville
and surrendeded to the officers.
Judge J. Bis Ray, who was then pre
siding at the regular term of Su
perior court, specified the amount of
bond, it is stated. Dayton was then
released, and returned to his home.
Before his death the father and
son, it is said, conversed about the
trouble, the son remarked that he
would not have <jk>ne what he did
"for. a million dollars" had he not
been forced to, to which the father
sanctioned by nodding his head and
saying he would foigive him (Dewey.)

We are hoping that, car drivers will

a few have in the past.
A Hdn drive was undertaken re
cently by the faculty of our school
and it was a great success. We find
it only takes trying to accomplish
many things which seem to be
failure already at fir&
? Everybody reported a good time
at the box supper which was held last
Friday night. Everything was /carried
on with the best of order. We have
kn6wn now that the people of this
community are behind the school and
are all doing their best to make it a
succcss. Onr school has started a
new game to all of the students.This
is Volley ball Which has not been
played very much in any of the
schools of Jackson county. We hope
to make the best success possible of
it
The people are getting along fine
