Sandersville Progress November 8, 1916
  Representative W.R. Hodges, who was nominated in the state primary election 
and elected at the regular election held yesterday happened to the misfortune 
of being run down by a Ford car while crossing a street in Tennille Saturday 
morning. The car was driven by a young man from Kite, who was not very familiar 
with handling the machine and in turning a corner near the Farmers and 
Merchants Bank approached Mr. Hodges from the rear, being almost upon him 
before he was seen, as another vehicle prevented the driver from seeing him in 
time to avoid an accident. The driver called to Mr. Hodges and as he did so the 
latter turned and was facing the car when struck. He was knocked over on his 
back and the car ran over him, causing very painful bruises about the head and 
arms. As soon as he could be extricated from beneath the car he was placed in 
another car by Mr. T.W. Smith who brought him to Dr. Rawlings Sanitarium in 
Sandersville to have his wounds dressed. He is reported to be getting along all 
right and his many friends throughout the county are glad to know that his 
wounds were not of a very serious nature.
