Of His Car on Thomasviile-
Moultrie Road—Body Tak
en to Cochran, Ga. for Burial
Mr. Dare Harvard was killed yes-
terday afternoon about dusk while
driving his car from Mou'.l
Thomasville. The accident tciurred
six and a half miles from Thomasville,
Just south of a slight curve in the road.
The car swerved from the road and
evidently struck the left bank with
full force, shattering one wheel and
turning around toward Moultrie.
Just at what time the accident
curred or what caused it, will nevei
known. Mr. Harvard was perfectly
well and was coming home after a
day's trip to Colquitt county on busi
ness. A negro man working in the
fields near, heard the crash and went
to the scene. Seeing Mr. Harvard
pinned beneath the steering wheel as
the car lay cIosa to the bank, turned
slightly from the force of the impact,
he Is said to have gone immediately
for aid, being unable to extricate Mr.
Harvard.
People coming along the road soon
found him, however, before the negro
returned, and he was extracated and
transferred to a Ford car to be
brought to town. Later Mr. A. O. Robi
son came along with Mr. E. Jack
Smith and they took Mr. Harvard into
Mr. Robison's car, Mr. Smith sitting
on the back seat and holding him. Mr.
Harvard was still alive when they
started off but died on his way to
town. His neck was broken.
The negro stated to some parties
that Mr. Harvard called to him when
Jie came up and asked to l»e taken out
but It is not known whether this is
true or not. He was alive when taken
into Mr. Robison's car, but uncon
scious. It is believed that the force of
the impact of the car with the bank
broke his neck. Slight bruises were
found on his hand and back but these
could not have caused any material
injury. Physicians examined him and
stated that in their opinion his neck*Bolton with
had been broken from the sudden force himself,
of the car as It struck the bank.
Mr. Harvard was not a fast driver
but had complained for a short time
regarding the steering apparatus of
the car. This, however, was found to
be in good shape. It is suspected that
in turning the slight curve at that
point in the road the car got away
from him and dove straight for the.
bank. He Is believed to have been °* Anderson outside,

Paris, Nov. 18.—The Chamber of
Deputies yesterday evening gave
vote of confidence to premier Poin-
he eve of the Lausanne peace
conference had after a month of
intermittent debate on the interior
nd exterior policies of his govern
ment.
The vote was 462 71.
The entire, chamber, excepting the
extremists on both sides and the
munists, socialists and royalists, voted
in favor of the government.
The debate, however, was left
finished, being merely adjourned for
another month in order to leavo the
premier free to occupy himself with
the Lausanne conference.
M. Poincare virtually gave notice
that a final agreement on reparation!
must come out of the Brussels con.
ference in December or France would
take her own measures. Ho t>uij cate

the French share of German repara

France, and that there could be no
moratorium without effective guaran

plause from the whole chamber, only
