York County Man Killed.
Mr.. c. S. Good, a native Of York
, county, but who for number OF
years past has resided near Greenville,
met instant death Monday when ne
was struck by Piedmont and North
ern car in Greenville. The following
account Of the tragic accident is from
the Greenville News Of Tuesday: c.
s. Good, a prominent farmer OF Oak
vale was almost instantly killed yes
terday afternoon about o'clock when
a southbound Piedmont and Northern
train struck the buggy in which he
was riding, at the crossing between
Brandon and Charles. At this cross
ing an automatic warning Is main
tained, and informal testimony Is to
the effect that the signal was working
as usual. The crossing is not in the
clear, the railroad being partly In a
cut and the dirt road being graded so
as to come down to the level OF the
tracks through quaSicut. Train NO.
Is struck the buggy, this train being
in charge Of Motorman McHugh and
Conductor c. P. Murroughs. 1t Is said
that the train was running about 20
to 25 miles an hour, and that when
some 400 yards from the crossing, a
light loomed up, showing that the au-
tomato signal was working. This
train left Greenville at ten minutes
before five o'clock. Tho buggy in
which Mr.. Good was riding was ap-
preaching the crossing, coming down
grade. The buggy and the train
reached the crossing about the same
instant, so it was impossible for the
tn fn hn cfnnna1 Tho vahinlQ
demolished, the mule killed, and MIR.
Good sustained injuries from which
he died before medical aid could reach
him. The P. N. ran a special train
carrying medical assistance, but the
victim Of the accident was dead before
the doctors arrived. A fracture Of the
skull is believed to have killed him.
His body was not mangled, as the
train did not run over him. He was
knocked about fifteen feet by the i'm
pact. Motorman McHugh stated that
he saw the vehicle when about a car
length ahead Of him. His train con-
sisted Of two cars. He applied the
reverse brakes, throwing passengers
from their seats, and stopping the
train some fifty yards from the cross
ing. So vigorously were the brakes
applied that the train was disabled.
Mr.. Good had come to Greenville, so
IT Is said, TO get TWO COWS, Wnlcn were
stolen from his place recently, and
one Of which belonged to him. On
Sunday night he and Sheriff Rector
had located the cows. Some negro
men were driving them back to Oak
vale, and Mr.. Good was riding back in
his buggy when the accident occurred.
It is said that the mule was travelling
at a rapid gait, and some presume
that the animal became frightened at
the ringing of the signal bell, and
plunged in front Of the train. Mr..
Good did not speak after the accident,
and died fifteen minutes after being
struck. Mr.. Good, who was a widow
er, was a member Of well known
family. He was raised in York county,
Where several members Of his family
now reside. He has one brother in
n AGreenville, Mr.. c. c. Good, and one
son, Fred Good, who is home for the
holidays from college. Other brothers
are Messrs. j. w. H. Good, Hickory
