Nobody Seriously Injured but all Have Narrow Escapes Automobiles apparently had & skid j ding fit on the Tryon-Spartanburg Highway near Dodd's Bridge^ six | miles from the South Carolina me. I trdpolis last Monday. j Professor E. W. S. Cobb, of Colum. | bus, returning from Spartanburg 1 driving a Nash sedan, hit a slippery ! spot and skidded into the ditch tak ing with him Mr. Fred W. Blanton^ Cashier of the Polk County Bank & Trust Co. Neither Prof. Cobb or Mr. Blanton were injured and the I Nash proceeded towards North Car olina under its own power. A few minutes later Dr. M. C. Pal mer of Tryon, driving a Packard Twin-six enroute to Spartanburg to attend the evening session of he Sce nic Highway Association meeting struck another puddle and skidded turning over and smashing the car. Dr. A. J. Jervey of Tryon who rode in the car escaped without injury m did Dr. Palmer. In attempting to flag J. A. Page of Spartanburg wh0 approached la a Ford touring car, the Tryonites un intentionally caused another acci dent. Mr. Pa;?e while attempting to stop at Dr. Palmer's signal applied his brake and his car turned over twice. Mr. Page's shoulder was dis located, aud his brother and two small children miraculously escaped serious injury. While a crowd collected around the smashed cars^ a Dodge coupe swung around the bend and onto the curve. Its driver M. Moose of Spar_ tanburg lost control and the auto mobile plunged from the road onto the plowed field and turned turtle. Both M. Moose and John W. Bridges who occupied the Dodge nafrowly missed being killed, as the car oame within a few inches of smashing in to a telephone pole enroute to the field. R. C. White of the Spartanburg County highway department reported that still another car turned over ia the vicinity Monday evening. The fact that the surface of the new road was laid on a crowned top. soiled road, and lis not flat like other hard surface., sections, coupl ed with recent oiling and downpour of rain together contributed to the accidents. According to Spartanburg news paper men, an effort will be made to remedy the condition immediately and signs will be erected warning motorists of the danger attendant to fast driving on this paricular stretch. o Mr. and- Mrs. George Cathey at tended the auto races in Charlotte^ motoring over Sunday .and remain ing until Tuesday.

M apjon DaVIeS * Jan ice Meredith Spectacular scenes of famous epi sodes of the American Revolution are accurately reproduced in "Janice Meredith," Marion Davies's preten_ tious and beautiful Cosmopolitan production, which starts a two day nm at the Strand Theatre on the 18th and 18th of May. The skirmish at Lexington ? "the shot that was heard around the world" ? the breathless moment of suspense, waiting to see whether the British would fire the first shot in the American Revolution j the daunt less Minute Meu bravely fighting against frightful odds ? this is one of the thrilling scenes of the produc tion. Crossing the Delaware Washington crossing the Delaware a living reproduction of the famous painting by Trumbull is also a grip ping chapter of the phototoplay. A channel 400 feet wide had to be cut through the Saranac River in the Ad_ irundacks to permit the crossing of specially constructed flat boats and rafts, transporting the soldiers and loaded with cannon^ oxen and supply wagons. Paul ltevere's immortal ride? when his horse's hoofs resounded through the night, when startled heads ap peared at windows in answer to his call, and when he took desperate jumps over fences and hedges, is full of thrills and artistic effects. The Battle of Trenton ? Washing ton's timely attack, and the victory is vivid and gripping, a magnificant bit out of history. The Battle of Yorktown Then there's the battle and surren der of the British at Yorktown, im pressive authentic and thrilling. No time or expense was spared in re_ modeling the Cosmopolitan Studio in to an exact reproduction of Yorktown and its vicinity. When Benjamin Franklin, in his sober garb, pleaded for aid to the Colonies at the Court of Louis XVI j at Versailles, and the thousands of French nobility i* their gorgeous brocades and satins and elaborate j head-dresses surrounded him all re flected in enormous mirrored walls with sparkling chandeliers ? is an other historical scone. The hardship and suffering of Washington and his troops is vividly depicted, when the General shared j the cold and misery endured by his soldiers at Valley Forge; while on the opposite side of the Delaware General Howe was tendered a fare- j well hall by his officers at the Whar_ j ton Villa. Beautiful women, richly gowned and bright coated British j officers danced en polished floors, lightnearted and comfortable; while j the American soldiers attempted to j keep warm near their camp fires a striking contrast, wonderfully photo graphed. The Bostoa Tea Party, a magnifi cent night scene; Patrick Henry's impassioned speech; and numerous other incidents of the days of the Revolution are included in this stu pendous production, whicn, under the direction of E. Mason Hopper is a stirring page from history. "Janice Meredith/' Lillie Hay ward's picturizatlon of Paul Leicest-_ er Ford's romance is distributed by Metro.Goldwyn. The settings are by Joseph Urba*.

Mrs Barnes of Charleston who has | been a summer visitor to Tryon for | more than ten years^ died in that city a week ago. Her will, which has been probated, gives an insight iuto her character. All of her con siderable fortune was willed to the advancement of education In the South. Her interests, especially since the death of her sister, Mia# Loryea, were centered in books. Her chief enjoyment lay in reading them Few know Dickens as she did. Once on a wager she named everyone of the numerous characters in David Copperfield> a feat of memory not easily equalled.
