Boys Foot Crushed.

Edwin, the 12-year-old son OF Mr.
+. r. Hamer, had his foot terribly
crushed and torn by the swingle
tree on Mr.. c. S. Herring's ice wag-
on Thursday afternoon. The little
fellow was riding on the wagon
while it was going up Main street
toward his home and in some man
ner got his foot caught between
the swingle tree and the shaft bar.
At this moment the horse turned,
catching Edwin's foot in a vice-like
grip and bending it backward so
far that the leaders and ligaments
were torn loose, inflicting serious
and painful injury. The laceration
extended from point below the an
kle to the toes and nearly half of
the foot was almost severed. The
little fellow was carried to his home
suffering agonies, but medical as
sistance was promptly summoned
and his sufferings were partially re-
lieved. The physicians do not think
he will be manned for life, but il
will be several weeks before he will
be able to walk again.

Harry was the idol of his parents,

days ago to be driven over a por-

farming country, known in the spld

they won in the earlier days of the
history of the Pee Dee country. AS

Little Rock we find to be making
considerable progress as a city and

and delight the events leading up to
the formation of the county and feel
constrained even at this late day
to offer congratulations at the sue
cess of the movement launched sew

The charge of rottenness in the
first election and ring rule how
ever is much to be regretted and
sincerely trust that in the coming
primary all differences will be set
tied without such charges being
made.

Gle, and as a voter has called for
more aspirants for the position. |

tent men have offered themselves
for the position and it has come to
