! - 11 AUTO ACODMCHT Van Aim?t of IHtiuuilij Tragedy At Seaboard CYowing Following is a detailed account of the diatreasing tragedy near Hamlet whan an automobile plunged from a SB foot bridge to tbe railroad below, felling one man and fatally injuring others, brief mention of which was made in the last iaaue of The Herald: Hamlet, Feb. 10.?One person was killed and three seriously injured when an automobile, owned and operated by Mannie Shapiro, of Marlboro county, S. C., ran off the bridge crossing the Seaboard railroad three miles east of Hamlet about 2 o'clock this afternoon. Th. k.i J ? J~ a- ? iuu ui luge is ayproacnea on a heavy cnrve and the driver evidently lostvcontrol, Kbing off the side of the bridge, and the cor and occu* pants fell 35 feet to the railroad track below. G. F. Robertson, R. F. D. 3, Mnllory, S. C.,/was instantly killed, and his wife seriously injured. Mannie Shapiro is paralyzed from his waist down and is not expected to live. The young sister of Mrs. Robertson was seriously injured, but is expected to recover. Mrs. Robertson's two children, one aged about three years and the other three months, were injured. During the brief time the car hung over the edge of the bridge before taking the fatal plunge, Mau rice riesnman, or Baltimore, nephew of Shapiro, who was in the front seat with the driver, jumped out on the bridge and escaped injury. Sunday night the relatives of those injured had not been located, and no disposition had been made of the .body of Mr. Robertson. All of the ? injured were rushed to the Hamlet hospital immediately after the accident. About four weeks ago, Ben Ingram colored, ran off the same bridge and fell the distance of 35 feet, but with three weeks treatment at the hospital he was able to -go home. Today's accident was at the exact spot, and the railing which "was destroyed at the time of the first srccident had been replaced. The above is from Monday's Charlotte Observer. Mr. Shapiro came to this county about 15 years ago as a peddler. Later he merchandised at Dunbar, and moved a few years ago to Marlboro station, where he has been merchandising and farming. Mr. Robertson was the overseer nn hlo farm Uai lary, in the above dispatch, is evidently an error. They are from Marlboro station, Bennettsville, R. F. D. 2. The bridge where the accident occurred, is a very dangerous place. The "road runs nearly parrallel with the railroad, and the bridge is built ff ~~ "Speec Mor JUDGE BY New Suits.

At oae ead there la also a hoary grade, going ap to the bridge, which causes many automobile drivers to spurt up ia order to go up to the bridge on high gear. The speed and the onarp torn caused the car to skid on the bridge, even after brakes were applied. It Is thought that Mr. Shapiro's car and the negro's, slided against the railing and broke it down.

The road chould be changed so as to extend straight from the bridge for some distance, or else the side railings should be made strong enough to resist the impact of a skidding car. Weak railings, put up merely for ornament, are more dangerous than none at all. The editor of The Advocate talked ; to Hamlet hospital late Wednesday afternoon and was informed that Mr. Shapiro's back was broken, and he was in a very critical condition, with little chance of recovery. Mrs. Robertson and her sister and one of the children were doing very well but the other child was in a serious condition.?Pee Dee Advocate. "ARMORED HOUND" i As an Offensive Weapon "Tanks" J. Reputation is Now Assured. With the French Armies in the Field, Dec. 26 (By Mail).?The fuU.ure of the "tank" as an offensive weapon in battle is assured. French troops who have followed the chriotts of assault into the most recent battles on this front have ceased to speak of them in elephantine terms or to compare them with the lubbering, wallowing landships. The tank today is the armored hound j ! Of the chase. In narks lika (hp fox! hunt they dash ahead of the poilu hunters, keeping to the trail, exploring the ground ahead and when necessary digging the fox from his lair. When an official communique deal- ! | ing with a French victory told of the | capture of an entire German regimen- ' tal staff, it was a pack of armored ' hounds that dashed up a crest and collared the staff before the arrival j of the troops. When the same com-j munique announced the capture of dozens of German guns, it was again the hounds that took their major part. German gunners, like foxes, knowing the hound of old abandoned their weapons and scurried off through the'brush. Again a pack of "tanks," not satis- j fled to have led the' infantry to its j fixed objective, loped ahead among i the bewildered enemy and after showing their teeth over an area of sev-, \ Up"Febr PRESENT-DAY :w Coats.

'] i "I'm not supposed to do that," said j he \ When an extra task he chanced to ( see; ' "Thut'8 not my job. and it's not my care, So I'll pass it by and leave it there." j Ana tne boss who gave him his weekly pay Lost more than his wages on him that day. "I'm not supposed to do that," he said, 1 "That duty belongs to Jim or Fred." So a little task that M as in his way I That he could have handled without delay Was left unfinished; the way was paved For a heavy loss he could have saved. And time went on and he kept hisj place ! But he never altered his easy pace, ' And folks remarked on how well he knew The line of the task he was hired to do; For never once was he known to turn His hands to things not of his concern. But there in his foolish rut he stayed And for all he did he was fairly paid, But he was never worth a dollar or more Than he got for his toil when the week was o'er; For he knew too well when his work was through And he's done all he was hired to do. If you want to grow in this world, g young man, You must do every day all the work you can; N If you find a task, though it's not your bit, , And it should be done, take care of it; ( And you'll never conquer or rise if , you , Do only the things you're supposed t to do. ?Edgar A.
