The value of the truck to the

admission that the motor truck has

Whore the average distance to the

JUDGE SCOTT is
KILLED IN WRECK

Grecnvillc, Dec. 26.-Waltcr M.
Scott, Judge of probate FOR Greenville
county, was instantly killed; his
brother, w. Henry Scott, Of Oklahoma,
was seriously injured and his wife
was slightly hurt, when the automo-
bile in which the three were riding
overturned this morning on the Au-
gusta road, ten miles below the city.
Judge Scott, who is one of the county's
best known citizens, was driving the
car. In rounding a curve, the car slid
into a deep gulley, overturning on the
three occupants and crushing Judge
SCOTS skull.
The judges brother and Mrs. Scott
are now in the City Hospital. While
Mrs. Scott's condition seems to be
safe, that Of the brother is regarded
as critical.
Judge Scott was first elected to the
county Office which he held in 1914
and was reelected in 1918. He was
held in high regard throughout the
comfy and section and the news Of
his death has caused great sadness
here.
