RUSSELL LAWSON
SERIOUSLY HURT
Spindle in Right Fore Wheel Broke,
Overturning Car and Throwing
Driver Against a Tree.
The State, 6h.

Inc state, OH.
Russell Lawson, the 19-year-old
driver of the Ford car, was threwn
from his machine and probably fatally
injured while taking a preliminary
turn around the track just before en-
tering the races at the fair grounds
yesterday afternoon.
AS the car took the turn at the
north side Of the track the spindle OF
the right fore wheel broke. The ma
chine pTowed through the outside
fence and overturned. Lawson was
thrown violently against small oak
tree several feet from his wrecked
car. His spinal column was fractured.
Operation Performed.
Between II and II o'clock last night
DR.. S. H. Harmon performed an opera
ton Upon the injured man at the Co
lulabia hospital. The operation was
successful and when heard from at 2
o'clock the patient was resting as
we'll as could be expected.
Just behind the Ford when the ac-
cident happened was the Maxwell car,
in which was the driver, McFadden,
and Nella Brown, a member Of the
Manhattan Opera company. McFad-
den stopped his car as soon as pos
sible and, with Miss Brown, hurried
back to Lavson's assistance. The in
jured man was lifted into the Maxwell
and brought down near the grand
stand, pale and unconscious. He was
examined by physicians and after
wards rushed to the Columbia hos
pital. His condition last night was
regarded as extremely serious and
but little hope is held out for his re-
covery. The worst is feared.
His mother and sister, both Of
Greenwood, reached Columbia last
night. His half brother, John E.
Lawson, conductor on the Southern
railway, lives in Shandon. He came
in yesterday afternoon from his run
and went to his brothers bedside.
Won Several Races.
Russell Lawson was employed by
John I. Chipley, an automobile dealer
Of Greenwood. In the three previous
long distance races in Columbia this
fall young Lawson, harlly more than a
boy, finished first in two and second
in the third. He also won a mile race
on September II and finished first in
his class in the hill climb on June 2.
Lawson had many warm friends
among the automobile men all over
the State. He was known as an ex-
pert driver.
An examination of the spindle Of
the right fore wheel of the Ford car
showed that the break which caused
the accident was an old one. The
spindle had apparently been cracked
for some time and the vibration Of the
car broke it in two.

115 BUSHELS on ACRE.
Excellent Corn Crop Made by Nor.
man Creeeh of BarnWell.

Barnwell, Nov. 5.-One hundred and
sixteen bushels of corn on one acre,
at a cost of only 70 cents a bushel to
plant, cultivate and gather, is the rec
ord Of young Norman Creech, son OF
Mr.. W. S. Creech, of Kline, in the
corn contest in this county. This is
about the largest yield reported to
date, and will no doubt, win the first
prize. When the sandy soil Of the
country is taken into consideration it
will be seen that young Creech is
among the foremost farmers in this
section.

OFFICER HUTCHINSON
HAS PARALYSIS

While on a street car returning
homo from the fair grounds Thursday
afternoon, Policeman J. D. Hutchison
was stricken with paralysis. He was
taken to his nome, 1416 Lumber
street. His condition is regarded as
extremely serious. He is unable to
move either his right leg or arm.
His brother was with him at the
time he was stricken. Mr.. Hutchison
first attracted attention to his condl-
ton when he attempted to take a
street car transfer from his pocket.
His actions at once led his brother to
the conclusion that something was
wrong and an investigation disclosed
his real condition.
Mr.. Hutchison has been a member
of the police department for about
eight years. Proir to his election as
2 member Of the force he was guard
at the State penitentiary. He was
faithful to duty and true to his friends,
and his serious illness is the cause OF
regret to all who know him. He is a
married man.-Columbia Record, 4th.
Mr.. Hutchinson is a native OF New
berry and closely related to the family
of that name living in the county at
this time. His many friends here
hope that he may have a speedy re-
coYary.

The action of Princeton university
in comforting a degree on ex-President
Woodrow Wilson, commencing his ad-
ministratfon and providing for the con-
tinuance of his lecturers on jurisprud-
ence and politics, will be welcome
news to every thoughtful democrat.
woodrow Wilson may not be the most
available man for the democratic nom
nation in 1912, but the fact that such
a man as he is mentioned fer the nom
ination will notably raise the stand
ard. DR.. Wilson is thorough scholar
a profound political thinker an en-
gaging lecturer, and has proven an
effective campaigner as a guberna
torial candidate. His administration
at Princeton has been rather a stormy
one, and this fact has been supposed
to create a doubt whether he possessed
practical executive genius. The tes
tfmonial of the university settles thai
question. Whether he is elected gov
ernor of New Jersey or not, woodrow
Wilson has a future in democratic
politics. May the exigencies of the
time call many more such democrats
into the field.

Oklahoma City has missed his calling.
He was made for a theatrical press

thereby that Roosevelt and Bryan are

new political party, of which Billy"

Scoyille and other well-known soul
savers have been offered the chance
to be star "spell-binders," After this
announcement, it is needless to add
that the Reverend Scoville regards

that he was the only man in America

decisive remedy has been applied to
Col. Roosevelt's disease. Before he
went to bed last night, he had discov-
cred that he was merely an Ameri-

Forecasting election results is not
the least hazardous of political occu-
pations, but the penalty for false
prophesying is not severe. From the
standpoint of the Chieftain this is a
good year in Oklahoma at least, to
make a prediction. 1t is a good, safe
time to forecast because it is going
to be a democratic sweep the country
over, from Maine to California. Lee
Cruce will be elected governor of Ok
lahoma by a splendid majority-any-
where from 10000 to 5000. The state
ticket will not lose a man. The dem
ocrats will get four out of five con-
gressmen, and if Bird Mcclure pulls
through he will be the Ionesomest man
in Washington when Champ Clark
weilds the gavel as speaker of the
lower house.
When we get down to Craig county
we promise a complete sweep for the
democratic ticket-not a man will be
lost. Nowhere is there any party di
vision and there is a normal majority
of about five hundred.
