Car Skids On Pavement Turning Round To Bump Negro Woman Who Was Returning From 
Her Work

Annie Grace Ward, colored, 20 years old, cook for Mr. E.M. Pope, was painfully 
injured Thursday afternoon as she walked up No. 3 highway, returning from her 
duties at the home of Mr. Pope, when an automobile, driven by Mr. Kyle 
Williams, of Thomaston skidded and turned around on the pavement striking her 
on the right leg.

Mr. Williams stated that he was driving toward Zebulon from Thomaston at a 
moderate rate and attempted to go around a car coasting down the Pope Hill, 
after turning to go around the car he saw the woman walking up the road and 
put on his brakes in an effort to avoid running over her when his car began to 
skid on the wet pavement turning completely around, striking the woman with 
the rear fender, knocking her down and cutting a severe gash in her right leg. 
The car skidded on into the ditch.

Sheriff Shackleford, after investigation held Mr. Williams on a charge of 
driving an automobile while under the influence of whiskey.
