Nose Frierson Has
Wonderful Horse
Dappled Gray Breaks the
Washington Street Speed
Record

Tuesday morning there was a
great deal OF excitement on Wash
| ington Street when a runway oc-
| Cured. Nose Friersen, colored
man who lives about six miles from
town on the Whites, Mill Road, had
come to town to get some medicine
for his wife, who was very Sick.
While riding down Canal Street, in
the vicinity of the JAIL. Aose's fiery
steed was frightened by an automo-
bile which dashed by going at furi-
Gus rate of speed Some by stand
ers even say it was making nearly
ten miles an hour. The different
reports range from eight, to. ten
| miles an hour. Anyhew Nose s
dappled gray became alarmed and
started towards Washington Street
on-the; gallep with Nose swinging
to the reins. The trusty steed took
the, Washington Street corner going
so fast that all who saw it said only
one wheel grazed the asphalt
Soon after Dobbin, got into the
straightway headed down Washing
ton Street his speed became so ter
rife that shaft broke off and the
buggy was smashed against the
curbing with. Nose under the
wreckage. : The trusty steed con-
tinued his, course down Washing
ton street and Nose climbed from
| under the, wreckage with hardly a
scratch on him. Great panic was
caused among the children OF the
grammar schools, who were: all out
at recess when all the excitement
took place. No. one was hurt how
| ever and the horse continued his
fight. The horse experts in the city.
of, whom there are a. great number,
all say that the runaway, .smelled
hay when he. reached the corner
Of Liberty for here old Dobbin es-
sayed to- take the turn on high.
The result was: disastrous and
Dabhin should have known better,
for. he got hard sit down
which didn't seem to faze him
for he jumped up and, went
on down Washington instead OF
Liberty as he intended when he
attempted. to take the turn going
at a; high rate Of speed. Moses
steed would probably still be run
ming except for the valor and out
standing courage of Willie Brad
ford, who realizing that the lives of
a great number of citizens were in
danger took his life into his own
hands and pedaling his bicycle un-
til the bearings needed ice water
to keep them from burning up, he
overlook the runaway and with a
remarkable jump that showed what
he vas made of he clutched@ the
-eins and brought the, charger to
dead stop. Willie gladly accepted
,, a twenty-five cent piece from the
grateful Nose for his act. OF hero
ism. Times are certainly getting
hard. Willie should have some
kind Of a medal or brass button or
something bestowed on him for his
wonderful work, Of courage and we
heartily. congratulate him for being
So1braYe.

The First Meeting of Fall Sea-

The League of Women Voters
held it's first fall meeting on Mon
day afternoon, September 18th at .
o'clock in the basement of the Car
negie Library. In spite of the eX-
treme heat an unusually large at
tendance marked the resumption
of the meetings and gave an
enthusiastic greeting to Mr.. r. 3.
Belser, who spoke to the league on
the reasons for and against a con-
stitutional convention in. the near
fut' :. Mr.. Belser convinced the
women that such a measure would
not be wise during the present bus
mess paralysis and advised them to
study more thoroughly the present
constitution in order that they
might be better prepared to de-
mand at "a later date, the changes
sought by them. His talk was
practical. and constructive and was
given the closest attention. 1t will
interest the members of the league
to know that Mr. c. ]. Jackson of
Horatio, member Of house Of rep
resentatives, has accepted an lnvl-
tation from the league to speak to
them at the October meeting on the
present system of taXations in South
Carolina. He has been asked to
discuss it's defects and the suggest
ed remedies for the same. This
pertinent subject should interest
every citizen of Sumter county and
the league hopes that not only the
members but every woman citizen
of Sumter will be present. You are
asked to remember that tn" r""'s-
tration books are open on the tirs&
Monday OF each month Arv..I
m. to p. m. and you are remind
ed that you cannot vote on any is-
sue under thirty days after regis

would be the better plan TO get

tober meeting will be announced
