Play Postponed indefinitely.
It was announced Friday afternoon
that the play that was to have been
given on April % by the Junior

a manner as to assure the success of
an entertainment that will now be de-

MRS. j. E. NCUTCHEN is DEAD
FROM SHOCK.
Mr.. McCutchen Himself and Daughter
are in Serious Condition From Mis-
hap.

Bishopville. May 27.-The usual
quiet of the country Sabbath was
broken here today and the whole
community shocked when it be-
came known that in an automobile
accident which had befallen the car
of James Edward McCutchen, Sr.,
his most estimable wife had lost her
life and Mr.. McCutchen himself and
his only daughter, Minnie, had sus-
tanned injuries and shock which it is
feared may prove fatal to both, espe-
cially to Mr.. McCutchen, who is
nearly 70 years Of age.
The accident happened while the
family was returning from services
at old Mount Zion church. Making
a sharp turn in the road, the front
wheels ran into q hole. This caused
the car to turn turtle and the shock
was so great that Mrs. McCutchen
died almost instantly. Mr.. McCutch-
en- is suffering from shock and il is
feared that Miss Minnie McCutchen,
who was driving and was pinned un-
der the motor, is suffering from inter-
nal injuries which may prove fatal.
