der Excursion Coach.

The State, 3rd.,
In an attempt to board a moving
train at the union station yesterday
morning, Clyde Quattlebaum, of Chap
in, fell under the wheels aad Was so
severely injured that it was nccessa1y :
to amputate one of his arms. He is
at local infrmary.
1t seems that Mr. Quattlebau.n end
his wife were on their way to Jack
sonville, Fla. The Southern railway
was operating an excursion from
Rock Hill to the Florida city. There
were several coaches on track at
the union station, which were to be
attached to the excursion train when
it arrived in Columbia. M Quat;le-
baum is said to have placed his wife
in one of these coaches and then STEP
ped out short distance away. :,s
he was returning, the excursion tram
from Rock Hill rolled inc) the staUo...
Mr.. Quattlebaum evidently thought
the moving train was the one
which his wife was On and quicken
ing his pace, caught hold of a moving
coach. He gained hand hold but
did not succeed in getting foothold
and after dragging along with the
train, his hands slipped and he fell
under the wheels.
Medical attention was Immediately
given the injured man. His arm was
ahputated, and it is hoped that the
injuries, while very serious, will not
result seriously.

rolls within FIVE days prior to the date
of the election.
g. That many persons were allowed
to vote in said election in said coun-
ties who were non-residents of this
State, and many other persons were
allowed to vote in said election who
we're not residents of this State for
the period of year prior to the next
general election.
h. That many persons were allowed
to vote in said election who were not
citizens of this State.
j. That the vote at many of the
clubs in the said counties were not
counted and certified to the chairman
bf the county executive committee
within 4S hours after the close of the
said election, and the results in some
of the boxes were not certified to by
the managers.
k. That persons were allowed to vote
in said election at some of the pre-
cincts in said counties without being
required to make oath as to their
qualifications to vote, and to support
the nominee of the party.
|. That the poll was opened and
votes received for governor in some
of the clubs before the hour of 8
o'clock in the morning, and in some
cases the polls were closed before 4
o'clock in the afternoon.
m. That more votes were counted
for the office of governor than there
were voters participating in said elec-
ton.
n. That enough such fraudulent and
illegal votes were cast in the election
to affect the result.
Wherefore, the said Ira B. Jones re-
spectfuny asks that the said executive
committee will inquire into, investi-
gate and ascertain whether or not the
above stated facts are true, and that
the votes from the boxes in the said
counties where the said frauds and
illegal practices occurred be cast out
and not counted in the canvass of the
votes cast for the nomination of gov
ernor at the said primary election held
in this State on the 29th day of Au-
gust, 1912, and that the said executive
Democratic party take such further
action in the premises as may be just
and proper.
