Davis Injured In Accident On Hertford Road There in an ancient and familiar naying about slip, cup and lip that wax justified ill full measure in uu accident lhat befell S. S. Davis and J M. Bright, both living nu South Itoad street, this city Tues day afternoon. "We've had the best trip yet." Mr. Davis told Mr. Bright . as their automobile truck, loaded with wood, turned Into the Hertford Highway at lllnck Head Sign Post, "we'll be home in 15 minutes." As frequently -'befalls prophets. Mr. Davis's optimistic prediction Culled to come true. A fen hun dred yards further along the con crete highway, an iititumobile crashed into their truck and ca tapulted it. upside down, into the ditch. Mr. DavUt was stunned mo mentarily. and he and his com panion wore compelled to break out the glass ill the houHcd-iu part of the truck before they could get out. Mr. Davis sustained a number of cuts about the face, and a se ven* bruise on tho right side. An examination by Dr. J Fearing shortly afterward, however, failed to disclose evidence of broken ribs. Mr. Ilright was unhurt. The roadster lhat figured in the accident was driven by Col Kloyd J. Triplett. editor of the Hertford Herald, who was on his way to Klizaheih City. Colonel Triplett stopped his car. assisted the occu pants of i he truck us best lie could. and undertook to bring them to town with him. lie had gone scarcely 100 yards, however, when a tire went flat. While preparations were being made to repair the tire. Ed. Bur gess of the Stevens Jobbing Com pany. came along In his car, and brought Mr. Davis with him. Mr. Bright remained to help Col. Trip lett fix his tire. Visited at his home lator in the afternoon. Mr. Davis was resting fairly comfortably, and was in his usual cheerful spirits. In view of the fact that both he and Mr. Bright are along in their sixties, lie was disposed to regard their escape from more serious mishap as most fortunate. In discussing the accident. Col. onel Triplett Is quoted as having declared he blew his horn before undertaking to pass the truck, and , was of the impression that he hud plenty of room to get by. He vis ited Mr. Davis at his home later, J and repeated his oarlier assurance of willingness to render him any possible aid. TKANSFKK DISCUSSION TO IMUVATK SESSION Geneva . March 10. ?
