Ruth Beasley, ten year old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. James w. Beasley, of
Spring Hill, narrowly escaped death
when she was run down and serious
ly injured by an automobile at the
first toll gate, on the Nashville pike
Saturday afternoon. The car was
driven by John p. Brown, of Nash
vile, who was accompanied by a man
named Andrews, also of Nashville.
The little girl suffered broken
jaw, fractured skull, bad scalp wound,
dislocated leg and badly bruised left
eye. She was also otherwise bruised
and injured.
According to information received
here the car was coming in the direc.
ton of Columbia at very rapid rate
of speed, and the little girl, who was
riding her pony made an effort to es.
cape by pulling her pony into the
fence. 1t appealed to the keeper of
the toll gate that Mr.. Brown, feared
that he was about to run into the gate,
which was down, lost control of his
car and crashed into the little girl
The car was stopped and the little
girl carried To her home at Spring
Hill. where she was given medical
attention, but her condition this morn
Ing was reported serious however

pany announced that all employees
were to be given a substantial raise
in salaries, making the gifts of the
company to its employees run into the
thousands of dollars.
The capital prize, given for the best
showing made during the year, went
to G. l.. Rainey, manager of the
branch at Waverly.'. Mr.-sRafney sub.
mitted most remarkable report on
the business of his house during the
past year.
Speeches being in order, a. M.
Cochran made few timely and tell.
ing remarks on Fidelity to Our Or.
ganization.' r
Mr.. Beasley's subject was What Do
You Do With Your Savings, and Why
Do You Work." Mr.. Beasley said that
time has proven that the expenses of
the average man increase in proper
ton to this income, and that unless
some provision is made for his fam
lily, it will be left in want at the time
of his death therefore Mr.. Beasley
said that he felt that the life insur-
ance policies presented by the COM
pany would be the best insurance
against this condition.
The Columbia Produce Company
was organized eleven years ago, and
each year has pushed its way little
further upward toward success. To
day several hundred people are in the
employ of the company and Mr.. Beas,
ley said that during the entire. eleven
years he has never had one single
iemploye to ask for Ia raise in salary.
He said that the reason that they had
not done so, was due to the fact that
the company raised them before they
asked giving increases just<as fast
as the qualifications of the ,employe
merited it. Mr.. Beasley said that he
considered all members of the organ
ization and its employees as just one
great big family, and that he felt sure
TIE. employees : felt the same way
about it. That he was alwaysencour-
ed them to be frank and open with
the management, and that the spirit of
cooperation has welded employer and
employe together so the wonderful
success of the past year has been
made possible, and the insurance poll
cies and handsome increases in sala-
ries were given in appreciation of
this spirit.
The Beasley home was beautifully
and deliberately decorated and lighted
for the occasion. Carnations, ferns,
roses and potted plants adorned the
table, the banquet room and halls.
One of the unique features of the
banque was the desert, the cream be-
ing mouled in the form Of turkey,
and the cake was iced with the mi
tials of the company, C. P.
The banquet was complete in even
the most minute detail, and, those
who attended could not express the
measure of their appreciation for the
liberality of the company.
