Chester Reporter, April 16: Friends
Of Rev. S. j. Cartledge, former pastor
of Purity Presbyterian church in this
city, will be sorry to learn that he and
several members of his family met
with a very serious accident in Ath-
ems, Ca, their present home, Friday.
While out driving their horse became
| frightened and backed over steep
embankment, overturning the carriage
and pinning the occupants underneath.
Mr.. Cartledge was painfully bruised,
while Mrs. Cartledge had an ankle
broken and was otherwise injured.
Annie Lane Cartledge was seriously
hurt about the chest and head, and
Miss Poullain, a sister of Mrs. Cart
ledge, was injured internally and had
to be taken to the hospital. Inquiries
from here have thus far failed to elicit
information as to the extent Of the in
juries, although some information will
probably arrive this evening. The
team Of fire horses purchased for the
local fire department recently from the
city of Asheville, N. c., are expected
in the city tomorrow afternoon over
the C. & NV. railway. Mr.. ]. L.
Sanders, chief of the fire department,
will go to Hickory, N. c., tomorrow
morning on No. 10 in order to be in
that city when the team arrives and
see that the transfer Is made in time
for the horses to reach Chester to-
morrow afternoon on the c. & NV.
mixed train. There was a delay OF
several days in securing the horses
owing to trouble with Asheville's new
motor truck, but this must have been
satisfactorily adjusted, as Mayor Ran
kin wired here Friday that the horses
were ready for delivery. Instructions
were sent back to ship Monday even
ing over the Southern to Hickory.
Gaffney Ledger April IS: Mrs. An
ma Richardson, who had been Ill since
December 23rd. died at her home on
College street Sunday afternoon at
fifteen minutes to four following a
long and painful illness. Mrs. Rich
ardson suffered a stroke of apoplexy
just before Christmas. This was fol-
lowed by a second and with the third
came the dread summons Of the grim
reaper. -. 1t is stated that an effort
is now on foot to establish an Elk
lodge in this city. The Elk is one of
the worlds foremost orders and doubt
less if the effort is made to establish
a local lodge it will be successful.
The ladies of the city are continuing
with unabated zeal in their efforts to
secure a Carnegie library. Mr.. Car
negie, through his secretary, has writ
ten for some information as to Gaff-
ney and the surrounding country and
this is taken by the ladies to be very
favorable indication that Mr.. Carnegie
may help. The fact that the lot has
been partially given will go long
way towards securing the library.
Mrs. Minnie Sans, the wife Of Prof.
r. o. Sans, died about 1890 o'clock
Saturday night. For some years she
has been suffering with heart affec-
ton and it had been known that her
condition was sufficiently serious to
cause apprehension, but she had not
been appreciably worse for the past
few days and therefore none were pre-
pared for the great shock which came
with the announcement that this saint
ly woman was no more. The shock
was the greater because Mrs. Sans
was about her household duties as US
ual on Saturday. Before her mar
riage Mrs. Sans was Miss Minnie Rob-
erts, being of a prominent Richland
county family. She made her home in
early life in Columbia.

..... The item below regarding the
critical illness Of Mr.. Will Marshall,
