THE COVINGTON NEWS HARVEY ANDERSON 1 KILLED BY AUTO. President of Anderson Hardware Company Meets Tragic Death In Atlanta Saturday Night Mr. Harvey Anderson, president of the Anderson Hardware Co., of At¬ lanta, and one of the best known bus¬ iness men of that city, met a tragic death on Peachtree street in that city at an early hour Saturday night, by being run over by several automo¬ biles. It seems that Mr. Anderson had started across the street to where his wife was waiting for him and just as he stepped from the sidewalk he was struck by an automobile being driven by Dr. Crawford, a near neighbor of the Anderson’s. Several machines were passing and when the first ear struck him he was thrown to the street in front of a car going in the opposite direction which ran over him. The sad part of the accident though, was the fact that the third car to run over him contained his wife who had started to meet him in com¬ pany with a party. She did not know it was her hus¬ band until she had gone several blocks to her home and telephoned to several neighbors that a man had been injured by being run over. Up¬ on investigation it was found to her husband and she collapsed. The driver of the first car to strike Mr. Anderson also collapsed and has been almost wild ever since. Mr. Anderson had a number of friends in this city and was related by marriage to Rev. E. R. Pendleton, pastor of the Baptist church. Pace Locals. Rev. W. O. Butler spent Sunday at Snapping Shoals.
