AN AWFUL ACCIDENT.
whip Handle Slips from Fathers
Grasp and Kills Baby.

Spartanburg. May 3:-The handle
Of q small whip, which VIM johnson,
Jr, q farmer residing on the farm of
Mr. B N Anderson, near Reidville,
used in administering chastisement
to his 10-year-old son, slipped from
his hand and. going like an arrow,
penetrated the skull Of his infant
child, held in the arms Of it's mother,
who stood near the door of the room,
killing the baby almost instantly.
The mother screamed, will, you
have killed our baby!" and, drawing
the stick from the child's brain, saw
that the wound had proved fatal.
When johnson saw what had hap
pened he tainted and remained un-
conscious until revived by neighbors.
The accident is one of the most sin
gular in the annals of the county.
The Coroner's inquest held today
returned verdict to the effect that
death was accidental. Johnson, how
ever, was committed to the county
Jail to await an investigation. He
was released On bail tonight.
The whip used by johnson had a
short leather thong on the end Of it,
and as he drew it back to strike the
boy, the leather came off so that
when he made the lick the boy was
missed and the handle slipped from
his hand, going, small end foremost,
into the little baby's brain.

am glad to say to you through
the columns of our county paper
that shall be glad to give you this
season such instructions as will ena-
bic you to save your truck crops by
canning after the Northern markets
will not longer take your products
at profit to you.
Year after year, at the close Of
each truck season, thousands Of BUSH
els of beans and other vegetables are
sacrificed by our shippers on the
Northern markets. These shipments
are bought up in car lots by North
ern canneries, canned, labeled and
shipped back South with high rate
of freight and big profit added.
Why not can our own vegetables
and save this expense? You can thus
put up all the vegetables necessary
to supply the home, ,and if you should
can more than you need you will find
q ready market for all first grade
goods right at your door.

R HARMON DROWNED
IN SHOWS LAKE,
FELL FROM BOAT IN is FEET OF
WATER AND DROWNED BEFORE
ASSISTANCE COULD REACH HIM.

Hemingway, April 30:-News was
received here yesterday at l o'clock
that Roswell Harmon was drowned
in Shows lake while fishing. I'm
mediately searching parties were
formed and hurried to the scene in
automobiles, but after getting there
found much difficulty in locating
the body, and it was only after five
hours diligent work that it was
found.
The following story was told by
Claude Venters and young Norton,
who were the only eye-witnesses:
They, with Harmon, went to Lynch's
river Wednesday afternoon on fish
ing expedition, everything going
we'll until about noon Thursday.
About this time they Morton and
Venters,) had stopped fishing and
had come to the bank to get things
in readiness for cooking dinner. A
few minutes afterward Harmon
came up in a boat. but decided
not to land, and told Venters and
Norton that he would 60 to the op-
posite bank and get bait. After
getting beyond middle stream, near
ing the bank, the boat, in which he
was standing, struck cypress knee,
throwing him out backward, caus-
ing him to sink head foremost.
They, still on the opposite side,
thinking it to be an easy matter for
him to swim to the bank, remained
where they were. knowing that he
was an excellent swimmer. Har-
mon came to the surface and made
an effort to catch hold of the boat,
but missed it only little distance.
At this juncture, they, seeing that
he was in danger, started to swim to
his rescue, but before they could
reach him he had sunk for the last
time.
At the point where this happened
the water was fifteen feet deep, thus
making it impossible for them to
rescue him without assistance. They
Immediately gave the alarm, and in
a short time several parties were on
the scene searching for the body,
which was found several feet from
where he fell about 5 o'clock. The
body Was brought to town, arriving
here about Z o'clock.
Coroner H U Kinder of Kingstree
was notified of the drowning and
left Saturday morning for Heming.
