Negro Farm Youth In Accident Near

A 16-year-old Negro farm youth and the two mules he was driving were killed last night about 7:15 o'clock, five miles east of Angier on the Benson highway.

Believed to be the driver of the automobile which rammed into the rear of the mowing machine is Julian Hart, about 20, of Angier.
