HARTWELL, HART COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1924 0 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. 0 BRIDGE HEARING REPORT ON HEARING WILL BE READ WITHIN A FEW WEEKS STATED BY U. S.

PHILLIPS, Jr., Adjutant. 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. ft, MT. HEBRON CHURCH Services at Mt.
