Rock HILL, May 2S.-The little two
year-old daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs. b.
W. Creed, met with an accident last
Friday afternoon, which came very
near ending the life Of the little one.
The child picked up a tobacco tag. and
attempted to swallow 1t. The tag be-
came lodged in her throat, and the
child at once began to show signs OF
suffocation. Mrs. Greed, who was
alone with the child, In attempting to
extricate the tag with her fingers
lodged 1t more firmly in the child's
throat BY the time the condition Of
the child was becoming critical indeed
and fears were entertained that ply
sician could not arrive In time to save
her, the mother becoming almost
crazed over the accident, cried out for
help and her cries were heard by Mrs.
D. w. Davis who happened to be pas
sing by Mr.. Creed's home at the time,
Mrs. Davis ran in and finding out
what the trouble was and realizing at
once that something must be done
without delay II the child was saved.
she grabbed the suffocating child
from the arms Of the almost distracted
mother and holding her up by the
feet, head down, gave her a luick
slap on the back, and the tag dropped
from her mouth. In few minutes
the little one was all right. A physi-
clan arrived a few minutes later, but
the heroic means resorted to by the
passer-by, no doubt saved the little
girls life.
