I C. C. OWENS, STUDENT AT S. C.
I UNIVERSITY DEAD MAJOR S
MILL CURVE CONTINUES
TO TAKE TOLL OF LIVES
College Boys Were En Route To
Athens For Football Game
Injured Carried To Anderson
C. C. Owens is dead and three I
others have been in an Anderson, |
S. C., hospital following another ,
crash by an auto into the embank- |
ment at “Deadman’s Curve,” on the :
Bankhead Highway east of Hartwell
and just over the Savannah river I
last Friday nigljt at 7:30 o’clock.
Owens, a University of Carolina
student, was en route with other
students to the football game in
Athens, held the day following. The
injured were Col. T. P. Cain, attor
ney of Columbia; Benny Smith, of
Camden, and Dußose Boylston, of
Allendale, S. C.
Left Davis Under Car.
Motorists passing the dangerous
place, which is Major’s mill, picked
up Cain, Smith and Boylston, car
rying them into Anderson; young
' Owens, still alive, was left pinned
under the auto until others passing
saw him. He died upon reaching the
hospital. The first parties reaching
the wreck thought all had been re
moved, and Owens remained under
the car alone for some time with
his skull crushed and right leg brok
en before passersby diiscovered him.
Dangerous Place.
Owens’ death brings the total up
to four who have met death at this
place on the Bankhead Highway.
Two Anderson young men were vic
tims and a young man from Connect
icut. Only two weeks ago a Mr.
and Mrs. Davis, of Greenville, nar
rowly escaped death when tßeir car
wrecked at this place.
How It Happened.
According to the version of the ac
cident as given by the young men
carried to the hospital, the original
party making its way to Athens
was made up of Messfs. Cain, Smith,
Boyleston, the ovzner of the car, and
Charley Cate, also a student of the
University. Owens and two others,
it was said, were picked up by the
party at. Anderson, and proceeded
on .their way to Athens. Due to the
crowded condition of the car, a
coupe, Owens and two others were
riding on the running-board of the
machine.
Young Owens was said to have
been standing on the right running
board, and when the car swerved to
the left, was pinned beneath it.
Those standing on the other side of
the machine escaped injuries, it was
said, and unable to give further as
sistance after motorists had taken
the injured ones from the wreck,
proceeded on their way to Athens.
The cause of the wreck, it was
said, was due to the collapse of one
of the wheels, under the heavy load.
The car was traveling at a rate of
approximately 35 miles an hour, it
was reported.

Passes Over
FORTY ABOARD BIG AIRSHIP
PASSED HARTWELL EARLY
WEDNESDAY MORNING
The big naval air cruiser, Shenan
doah, one of the largest dirigibles
in the world, passed over Hartwell
Wednesday morniing shortly after ■
3 o’clock, en route via Atlanta to
the Pacific coast.
A number of our people saw the <
airship, and several hearing the
noise arose to investigate. They
were greeted by a rare sight and the
news spread early Wednesday morn
ing that the big bird had given Hart
well the "once-over.”
Rear-Admiral W. A. Moffett of the
U. S. Navy, was aboard together with
40 other men.
The trip takes the airship 7,000
miles. .
GAS PRICE CUT
Following a reduction »f 3 cents
per gallon on gasoline in Atlanta and
other leading cities, the liquid slump
ed here last week-end, and is now
available at 20c. .
The reduction is in line with the
big oil companies’ custom every fall,
the slump occasioned by a falling off
in demand, bad weather, etc., which
conies every winter.
It goes without saying that the
saving is being warmly received by
local motorists.
The new price includes all taxes.

Red Cross Roll Call
Here Nov. 10-11
Preliminary plans for the Annual
Roll Call to be conducted here Nov
ember 10-11 by the local Chapter
of the American Red Cross this fall,
are now being worked out unde.- the
direction of local committee.
The Roll Call, which is the annual
enrollment of Red Cross members,
furnishes finances with which to car
ry on the work the Red Cross is
conducting here as well as the na
tional and international humanitarian
operations of the organization.
According to the tentative plans
briefly outlined, sufficient workers .
will be enlisted to canvass the whole
’•esidential nod b>’sin n «s section <»f
the community and give every resi
dent a chance to renew his allegiance
to the organiziation.
“It is my belief,” stated Mr. A.
N. P. Brown, “that every person in
this community will gladly link him
self with this great humanitarian
force. It is through tne Red Cros
that we effectively extend a helping
hand to the unfortunate in oar com
munity, our state, and all over the
world. It truly makes of the mite I
that we cast into its treasury a i
glorious harvest of blessing, and ev- ■
cry American ought to have a part
in its work.”
The local Red Cross Chapter is one
of 718 in the South which will hold
its Roll Call this fall.
Mr. A. N. Brown will head the
1924 campaign in Hart county, hav
ing been named by the Chapter
Chairman, I. J. Phillips, Sr.

o
Business in Hartwell has shown a
strong come-back following the pro
longed wet spell of September, —cot
ton is coming in “like unto the olden
days” almost, and trade is brisk ev
erywhere in town.
With the clearing skies came a
most welcome advance in the price
of the fleecy staple, and prospects are
bright for one of the best fall and
winter seasons Hartwell and Hart
county have experienced in several
years past.
Recent activities locally indicate
renewed faith in business circles and
there has been a return to the opti
mistic side of life in and around old
Hart county durinig these two weekv
of sunshine.
The hum of the cotton gin and
other industries adds to the march of
progress and good times, -truly,
Hartwell and Hart county are gi ing
to have a good year after nil. and
the folks are beginning to “feel it
in their bones,” as the saying goes.
One of Hart’s leading farmers
stated that conditions are improving
.daily, and that with the determina
tion that has always characterized
Hart county’s progressive rural com
munity there can be nothing but suc
cess ahead.
“We are already leading the State
of Georgia in too many lines to enu
merate,” he said, “and you just can’t
keep a county like Hart from forg
ing ahead.”
Depot street presents a pleasing
' appearance as the cotton wagons
from far and near bring in the sta
ple. Hartwell buyers are giving as
much, if not more, than can be had
elsewhere, and while some stray off
occasionally there is no fear that the
Hartwell market will hold its own
this year if not go far ahead of
1923.
Yes, the skies have cleared up;
business IS getting better every day
in every way in Hartwell and pro
gressive Hart.
new~cottonTirm~here
Hartwell has a new firm of cotton
and cotton seed buyers this fall, hav
ing opened for business in the well
known Clinkscales warehouses, De
pot street, last week.
Composing the new firm are three
of Hart county’s best known citi
zens, Mr. L. G. Brown, Mr. L. W.
Cobb and Mr. W. T. Johnson. These
three are too well and favorably
known to need any introduction.
I The organization of the new firm of
buyers gives Hartwell added impetus
as the leading market in this sec
i tion.
Bring your cotton to Hartwell.
