CRUSHED BY A WAGON,
Young Student Meets With . Serious
Accident. % s $ a: ~,

Master Calhoun Wolfe, son Of Or.
W. w. Wolfe, OF Fort Motto, q stu-
dent of the Orangeburg College in this
city, met with a painful as well as
serious accident Late Friday after
noon sbysbeing run over by q wagon
loaded with guano, and having his
left arm and his left hip badly crush
ed by the wheel which passed over
them.
It seems that young Wolfe, who Is
about twelve years OF age, had been
invited by. another student to go to
his home q few miles from the city
to spend Saturday and Sunday with
him. They started out Friday after
noon in a4wag agon.r When they reached
the end of their journey young Wolfe
jumped out Of the wagon before it
stopped, and was hurt as above de-
scribed. ,..;.$5: X;
5 The family he went tosvisit gave
him such attention as they: co uld,. and
then sent him back to this city,
where he was given medical atten-
ton. It was found that the lad was
seriously, If not fatally hurt, and it
was resolved to send him to Dr..
Knowlton's inhrmary, where he now
is. We hope he will soon be all righ,
again. The young lad had gone on
the visit with the full consent OF his
father. i l'j q rs. s. 5.>z

News From Cope.

Cope, Feb. 17.-Special.--A few
days ago your correspondent was
driven over the greater part of the
new road that leads from Cope In
a northernly and almost direct line
until it strikes the Holman bridge
road. The consensus Of opinion Is
that Mr.. Manuel Hungerpiller. with
his efficient force, chain gang No.
2, has done as fine a piece of work
as could be done by anybody under
like circumstances. Cope never had
public road leading directly into
same until now, and as the section
this road traverses is thickly settled,
and good farming lands, those who
have been using the old crooked
road, full Of washes and gullies, will
be greatly benefited thereby, as they
now, not onlJ; have good road, but
the distance from any point has been
lessened about thirty-three per cent
The gang not only built the new
road, buC did some necessary work
on the Branchvil1e and BAN berg
roads, to the south Of us, until the
time allotted to this section expired.
Fertilizers have al last begun to
move towards the farms. Last year
up to this time, two or three times
the same quantity had been hauled
and it seems from the manner in
which it is being bought and hauled
out that there will be a big curtail-
ment this season.
The farmers generally have taken
advantage of the fine weather since
the first of the year and have their
lands in fine shape.
The small pox patients have all
been discharged and the quarantine
raised and while there never was
much fear Of it's spreading, still ev-

If such there be. He carried the
