M^rs. A. K,.Currie of Rae
ford and E. F Powell of White-
ville had a collision at the Fulton
street and Prospect avenue cross
ing about 8 o’clock Monday morn
ing.
Mr. Currie was in a Ford tour
ing car going sogth intending to
drive directly across Prospect
avenue, but seeing a Buick Road-
ster approaching on Prospect
avenue, which is the State high
way, attempted to turn out of the
way, but the Buick driven by
Mr. Powell struck a front wheel
and turned over^two or three
times. Mr. Powell was , badly
ioj’ured. He was brotycht to
Hotel Raeford and Drs. Brown
and Oeddib did all they could for
him. An ambulance was called
from Fayetteville and-he was
sent to Highsmith’s hospital as
quickly as possible. A colored
man in the car with Mr. Powell
escaped with only bruises. Mr.
Currie escaped injury.
It is probable that Mr. Powell
did not see Mr. Currie, at least
ITntil it was too late to avoid a
collision; that is true of both dri
vers, or ic wouldn’t have occurred.
It seems to be one of these un
avoidable accidents that cannot
be prevented.
Mr. Powell’s relatives were di
rectly notified. His worst in
juries were internal, it is feared
Oniy a cut on his left arm was
the only external wound. ,
Later: Mr. Powell died in
Highsmith’s hospital at 9 o’clock
Monday night.
This was indeed a very sad
occurrence.
