Red Springs, Oct. 4—James H. (Cozy) Graham, 24-year-old son of Mrs. J.W. Graham of Red Springs, was instantly killed this evening about 7 o’clock in an automobile accident which occurred on the Red Springs-Raeford Road about three miles from Raeford.
Rollin Covington, who, with Gilis McLeod and Price Morris, was also in the car at the time of the accident, suffered a broken collar bone. Morris suffered a painful injury to the right hand. McLeod, who was driving the car, escaped uninjured.
The four young men were going to Raeford from Red Springs in a Ford touring car, and in passing another car which was parked in the road, their machine struck the rear end of the parked car. The driver lost control of his machine and the car was turned over.
Mr. Graham was thrown out of the car and his head was crushed. The car was almost a total wreck. The only witness to the accident was a negro to whom the parked car belonged.
Funeral services for Mr. Graham will be held here tomorrow and interment will be made in Alloway Cemetery.
