Automobile in Sumter

Sumter, March 25.-Just before
the opening of Court of Common
Pleas Monday morning Mr.. L. +.
Wood, court stenographer, met with
a very serious and painful accident,
when car, driven by Mr.. R. ]. kolb,
ran over him. Mr.. Wood was badly
bruised and cut, being knocked
down, the car passing over his en-
tire body. 1t was at first feared that
he had sustained serious injuries.
but a later examination at the Tou-
mey hospital, where he was imme-
diately taken, revealed the fact that
no bones We're broken and that he
had not sustained any internal in
iuries. The accident, according to
cve-wimesScS, was an unavoidable
one. and no one regrets the matter
more than Mr.. kolb himself. 1t is
hoped that the injured man will soon
be out and able to return to his du-
ties:
