MRS. c. p. wRAY INJURED.
Automobile Leaves Embankment on
Road Near Camden.

Camden, Dec. 30.-Wednesday
evening at 8 O'clock. as Mr.. and Mrs.
&c. p. Wray Of ! Ridgeway were en-
route to Sumter to visit relatives, they
met with a serious accident when
their touring car left an embankment
about four miles below Camden on
the Sumter road, near Mulberry -
the winter home of D, r. Will
liams. Mrs. Wray suffered a frac-
tured collar bone; Mr.. Wray was cut
and bruised about his hands, and the
two children with them were not
hurt. DR.. Corbett was summoned
and hurried to the scene. whence in
the meantime Mrs. Wray had been
carried to the home of Mr.. Williams,
where she was cared for until Thurs
day morning when she was removed
to the Camden hospital. to remain
several days. 1t is expected.
That all in the car were not seri-
ously injured or killed is miraculous.
As the car left the embankment it
turned completely over and the oc-
cupants were evidently thrown out
as 1t was leaving the narrow cause
way. One wheel was snapped off at
the axle and the car is practically
a wreck.
Mrs. Wray is a daughter of Mrs. s.
A.. Williamson Of this city and has
many friends here who will deeply re-
grst to hear Of the accident.

Policeman McKagen Gathers In Eight
Gallons and Three Quarts of Train.
From The Daily Item, Jan. /.
Policeman H. G.. McKagen made
what will probably be the last haul
Of dispensary liquor which will occur
In this city. Last night when train
SO from Columbia reached the city
and was boarded by the officer, he
found sack and suit case containing
eight gallons and three quarts, which
he watched closely. However. the
owner had seen Mr.. McKagen first
and decided rather to loose his liquor
than to be arrested by the officer, SO
he never came near. Mr.. McKagen
remained on the train until it nearly
reached the city limits, when he had
the conductor stop it and he got of
with the liquor which was carried to
police headquarters.
