SIX WERE HURT WHEN
TWO AUTOS CRASHED
Mra. Myers, Dr. Brooks, Mrs. Wilkes,
Mrs. Smith, Mr. Williams and Ilf.
Baker Had Narrow Escape
Six people were hurt, two of
severely, when care driven by Dr.
Brooks, of Tifton, and Mr. W.
liams, of Ty Ty, collided at the Cl
of Eighth street and Lore avenue
day night about 11 o'clock.
The injured in order of severity
Mrs. WilUe Payne Myers, gash in
temple, severe contusions on fkco

Tampa, Fla., severe bruises and shock;
J. J. Baker, Ty Ty, back wrenched and
several bruises; W. E. Williams, Ty Ty,
bruises ou various part of limbs and body.
Mr. Brooks, driving Mrs. Myers Jor-
dau car, accompanied by Mrs. Myers,
Mrs. Wilkes and Mrs. Smith was going
north ou Love avenue. Mr. William!
and Mr. Baker driving Mr. WilliariiS
Studebaker, were on their way to their
e at Ty Ty after attending services
at the Primitive Baptist church Mr.
Williams driving west on Eighth street
There is an arc light at the street cross
ing and for that reason the lights of the
approaching cars were not vLdk)U> to the
other drivers. When the ci^kfame in
night ot each other, it was td|BLte to
stop. The car Dr. Brooks was^lriving
struck Mr. Williams’ car just in front of
the left rear wheel. It was knocked
across the street a distance of nearly 30
feet and whirled around, headed south
east instead of west. Miraculously, it
was not turned over. Mr. Baker wa>
thrown from the car, up in the air, turn-
t£g over and falling ou his back in the
middle of the street. Mr Williams was
not thrown out When it stopped, their
cat was almost balanced ou Its right
wheels, resting on the overturned car
driven by Dr. Brooks.
Dr. Brooks car turned twice over and
stopped diagonally across the street near
the sidewalk on the northwest corner,
having turned turtle and then over stop
ping on the right side and headed south.
When help arrived it appeared that at
least two of the occupants were killed.
Dr. Brooks was lying on the ground just
clear of the wrecked car and Mrs. Myers
caught inside thc wrecknge underneath
the car. It was only after hard work
that she was rescued, unconscious, bruised
and bloody, from n tiny space that it <Ud
not appear a child could have safely ^
cupied. She was carried to the home of
Mr. B. H. McLeod where first aid was
rendered.
Mrs. Wilkes was thrown clear of the
r and Mrs. Smith was able to climb out
of the wreckage. Both ladies gave their
attention to assisting the others until
reaction brought a realization of theit
injuries. Mrs. Wilkes was carried
to the home of Mr. B. I). Iianlen, and
Mrs. Smith was able to he carried to her
home two blocks away.
The cars came together with a noise
like a protracted rrash of thunder and
those who first viewed the accident mis
took the flying dust under the arc light
and the smoke from the engines which
still running for fire and it was fear
ed that the car would soon be in a blaze.
Had this been the case Mrs Myers res-
e would not have been possible.
Several physicians were soon on the
scene and others hurried to the resuce.
It was nearly an hour before it was possi
ble to lift Dr. Brooks nu to a <-ot and
carry him homo. He was suffering
acutely from bis wrenched back and
every move of body or limbs brought
agonizing pain.
Tliis morning all of the injured are
resting very well and no fatal resuts are
feared unless complications set in.
Mr. Williams’ car was not badly
damaged but the upper structure of Mrs.
Myers car was wrecked and the axle
bent. Both cars were carried to the
garage under their own power.
Mr. Williams said that he was driving
slow and did not Bee Mr. Brooks’ car un
til it was almost upon him. He feared
to turn, thinking the car would strike
him in the rear, but thought he could
pass the crossing before the other ear
reached him. This he failed to do by
about five feet.
Dr. Brooks said when he saw Mr. Wil
liams' car was so close he turned sharply
to the right, thinking the other driver
would do the same. He at first thought
that Mr Williams’ car had run into him

Charges Forgery.
Thc suit is an equity proceeding, in
whieli Fletcher claims that Frank Scar-
boro destroyed n security deed which
Fletcher claims to have made to Paullfc
and forged in the place of it a deed in
fee simple to 2,550 acres of land in Irwin
and Turner counties, and that Frank
Hearboro failed to apply $35,000 of a loan
for $50,000 secured ou this land to the
payment of a previous loan for the
George M. Foreman, of
Chicago.
1’uulk is president of the South Geor
gia Lnnd Company at Tifton, the petition
alleges, and on the first of January, 1910,
the {ictitioner owed about $12,000 iu ad
dition to the $35,000 due George M. Fore-
that he made Paulk a
security deed for all of the 2,550 acres of
land, but inserted a stipulation that the
said Paulk was to take the money he
should borrow on the land and pay all
of Fletcher’s indebtedness and leave two
lots of land, one In Irwin and another in
Tift unencumbered.
The petition alleges that Skeen, an at
torney who examined titles and made
abstracts for Peabody, Houghtelling Co.,
and Frank 8earboro realised that the Chi
cago concern would never authorize a
loan with such a provision in the seenr-
ity deed and v^at. Frank Scarboro. des
troyed the original deed and forged an
other, in fee simple, from Fletcher to
Paulk and secured the loan of $50,000 or
this instrument '
Claims $05,000 Misappropriated.
When the check came, the petition al
leges, Scarboro sent for Paulk and told
him that the Foreman debt must be paid,
commission deducted and all encum
brances removed, and that Paulk agreed
to this. Paulk, it is alleged, learned
about twenty days later that the Fore
man loan had never been paid and so tele
graphed Peabody, Houghtelling & Co.,
but received no reply from them. It is
alleged that the Chicago concern wrote or
wired Scarboro and 8keen to pay the
Foreman debt.
Later, the petition alleges, Scarboro
and Skee n notified Puuik that the Fore
loan had been paid, and Paulk did
not know otherwise until March, 1919,
when Frank 8carboro had absconded. The
petition alleges that Scarboro or Skeen
appropriated the $35,000 intended to pay
the Foreman loan.
It is further alleged that about the
first of April, this year, Peabody, Hough-
telling and Company paid tbe Foreman
loan, and instead of securing a cancella
tion took a transfer and assignment of
certain notes and other evidences of in
debtedness by Fletcher to Foreman.
The petitioner has already been
granted a temporary injunction by Judge
‘Ivc, restraining the defendant from fore-
losing the loan, which the petitioner
claims is not due and on which Paulk
has not defaulted in payments, but has
actually reduced by paying current in
terest and $5,000 of the principal.
Defendants File Answer.
The defondants’s petition for a trail*.
r was filed with the local division of
the U. S. court Monday morning, and with
it came a lengthy answer to the suit.
They deny that Frank Scarboro or Skec D
was an agent for Peabody. Iloughtell-
ing & Co., or any of them individually.
They deny the deed was forged and claim
that they bought the claims of George M
Foreman against the Fletcher lands, so
as to be protected themselves.
The suit promises to be a complicated
and hard-fought one, and much interest
issue and the fight for jurisdiction as
will no doubt attach both to the main
between the state and federal courts.
cupied by Aven’s Warehouse, has been
rented to J. A Marchaut, who has moved
in and will use this place for a ware
house.
The purchase of this property by Mr.
Baker rnepns great things for that sec
tion of Tifton. Property in this section
has been going down for years, but with
Mr. Baker’s purchase and the improve
ients to lie made, the property in that
tion of tbe city should begiu to climb
alue again.
It is also reported that the Goodman
tafh will improve the property
corner Third and Railroad streets.
This improvement has been rumored
many times in recent years, but it is hop
ed the improvements really will be iua<I<
this time. It would wonderfully improve

Drs. Peterson and Baker Will Use UppC*
Floors of Clyatt-Elks Building. To
Give Tifton Needed Institution
Dr. N. Peterson and Dr. L. A. Baker
the new owners of the business block
northeast corner Love avenue and
Second street took charge today. They
iuteud to make extensive improvements to
the building, which is now occupied on
the ground floors by Brooks Pharmscy,
W. I. Harvey. Adams-Smith Company
and Georgia Public Service Company.
The Gazette office occupies tbe second
floor of one of the buildings and profes-
onnl offices occupy the remainder.
Unless the city and county take soma
steps to build a hospital, the four
story building will be converted into a
hospital or private sanitarium. Brooks
Pharmuey will continue to occupy the
ground floor and the second floor will
be used for offiees. as at present. The
third floor will contain the operating and
the patients’ wards. The fourth floor
will contain the kitchen, diningroom and
nurses’ quarters, and it is probable that
a portion at leust of the former Elks hall
will be converted into a recreation hall
or convalescents’ ward.
Drs. Peterson and Baker expect to
have the hospital ready for use by
September 1st. While designed primar
ily to take care of their own patients,
they will accept paying patients of other
physicians aud surgeons and will also
take care of charity patients provided
their expenses are guaranteed.
There will be considerable changes ia
the building. n s already announced, the
Second street stuirway being removerf
and new fronts put in. There will also
be a skylight and other changes in the
portion occupied by the Adams-Smith
Company.
The eastern part of the building con
taining two stores rooms with offices
overhead, was built by 8. M. Clyatt and
John T. Mathis. A year later Mr. S. M.
Clyatt erected the four story building on
tlie corner, the top floor being designed
for an Elks haU. Mr. W. A. Greer par-
chased the- uropertr M -*yeal| ? 4*n" r '
and he sold it recently to Drs. Peterson
and Baker.
Tbe change gives Tifton what is badly
needed, a local hospital. T%e upper
floors are excellent for this purpose, be
ing well lighted aud ventilated.

Potato wart is one of the most danger

The disease does not attack the

some places is so severe that potatoes
cannot be grown profitably* Soil once
