NEARLY SHOCKED DEAD
Fort Mill Workman Comes Near to
Being Electrocuted

Fort Mill, Special.-Mr. James S.
Patterson happened to a very severe
accident at the Fort Mill Manufactt-
uring Campany's plant Tuesday after
noon about 1 'clock. He was in the
transformer room watching an elec-
trician at work on a cable which car:
ries over 10000 volts Of electricity
from the Southern Power Campany's S
plant on the Catawba river, when he
received enough volts to threw the
high tension switch, stopping the mill.
The hack. of Mr.. Patterson's head
was the first part Of his body to touch
the wire,. so at this cary hour it is
feared that his brain may be affect
ed. Yet the attending physicians do
not think that his injuries will neces-
sarily prove fatal.
