Chester Reporter, Aug. 10: Mr..
Johnson McCrorey, Of Richburg, met
with a serious accident last Wednes-
day afternoon while driving from Rich
burg to Fort Lawn, but fortunately will
escape with no lasting and serious
hurts, though paralyzed temporarily. II
seems that the harness became partly
unfastened, and one Of the horses be-
came fractious Mr.. McCrorey dis
mounted from the carriage in which ne
was riding with several young ladies,
and attempted to adjust the harness,
and as he did so one Of the horses rear
ed and came down on Mr.. McCrorey
with full force, the iron -shod hoofs
striking Mr.. McCrorey on the spine
and disabling him. He was taken to
Fort Lawn and given medical atten-
ton. At first serious results were feared
but Mr.. McCrorey Is now rapidly I'M
proving and will soon be completely
well. Cliff McElhaney, young man
who is said to have been a member of
the Rock Hill police force until day
or two ago, was found yesterday morn
ing lying beside the Southern Railway
track about hundred yards below the
Chester Oil Mill, and the report spread
that his back was broken. He was taken
to the Magdalene hospital, however,
cd
mans hurts were confined to broken
ankle, a wrenched back and few MI
nor bruises Mr.. McIlhaney Is son OF
Magistrate John W. McElhancy, Of Fort
Mill, and his parents and brother came
down yesterday in an automobile as
soon as they heard Of the accident. 1t
seems that the young man was riding
on a freight and in some way lost his
hold and fell.

on the lake at the Irene Park died Sat
urday. This makes the sixth swan
placed in the park and 1t Is rather diff
ficult to determine just why they can't
live ..... Mr.. r. E. Johnson returned
home Saturday morning after visiting
Yorkville, Rock Hill and other points In
York county in the interest Of the In
dian motorcycle. He sold two machines
while on this trip. -. The county cam
paign is moving along very smoothly
with little friction being manifested.

to be on very good terms. The party Is
being greeted by fairly large audiences
at every place. Yesterday very quiet
meeting was held at White Plains. 80.
News reached the city yesterday Of the
drowning of young Fd Brady in Broad
river. The particulars. as far as could
be ascertained, are as follows: A party
consisting of Henry Buice Roland Lit
tie, Jesse Brady, father Of the dead
boy, Ed Brady, John Robertson, J. B..
GLADDEN., and some others, left Gaffney
about one o'clock for Broad river to
enjoy fish fry. They went to Chero-
kee Ford, just above the Three C's
trustle. Ed Brady, the unfortunate lad,
together with some of the others, went
into the river with the seine. After a
while they got down toward Goat Is
land, where the channel Is narrow and
the water is deep. Young Brady, who
was about eighteen years old and a
poor swimmer, got into water too deep
and went down. His father. who was
standing on the bank, attempted to
rescue the drowning boy, but reached
the spot just as he was sinking the
last time. UP to the hour Of going to
press the body had not been recovered.
