DRIVER OF BUGGY IS KILLED.
Reckless Auto Driver Smashes Into
Buggy, Causing Death--No Clue.

Rock HILL April 23.-!Fred Hutch
ison, aged G5, unmarried, who re-
sided in the, India Hook community
eight miles from the city, was almost
instantly killed last night when his
buggy was struck by an automobile
driven by unidentified persons. The
accident occurred on Oakland Ave-,
near Winthrop College. A man driv-
ing Ford car was seen to strike the
buggy in which Mr.. Hutchison was
riding. The car was backed out and
turned back toward the city, no no.
tice being taken Of the man struck.
The victim was dying when specta-
tors rushed to his aid, and he expired
In few minutes.
The coroner's inquest was held to-
day and the verdict was to the effect
that Hutchison came to his death as
result Of being hit by an automo-
bile driven by party unknown. Two
negroes were some distance away
and saw the collision, but were not
close enough to recognize the driver
or car number. Efforts Of officers to
secure a clue to the identity Of the
party so far have failed. The buggy
was little damaged, one spoke IN
rear wheel being broken. One light
OF the automobile was broken out by
the impact.

common to the days when knight
hood was in flower, and had some
knights from the Court Of King Ar
thus, clad in armor, stepped into the
auditorium at the steel building
when the gentle maiden Of Horny
county was ascending her throne, he
would have felt that the old days
had indeed returned, and he would
have been happy to have paid hon.
age to so fair a sovereign.
"The ceremony in sheer stateliness
and beauty OF setting surpassed any
thing OF the kind seen In South Caro-

FOR TIME AND ETERNITY.
Read This-It May Result in Saving
SomO Lifo and Some Soul.

The writer was awfully shocked a
few days ago wheh he learned from
q reliable source that there were only
three (3r, persons In Oc6nee county
who are contributing regularly to
the Near East Relief.
The question comes to my mind,
What Is the cause of this indiffer-
ence? And the answer, We are all
thinking too much Of ourselves, our
social enjoyment, our luxuries, our
business prospects,, our anxieties Of
various kinds, to entertain a serious
thought for EVEN THE STARVING.
Friends Of Oconee, let's stop and
think seriously for q moment, Just
like we were at the Judgment Bar
Of God-and just as sure as the
Word Of God is true we will have to
face these people there.
When we gather those near and
dear to us around the family table,
spread with substantial, sustaining
food, may the Lord help us to think
Of His little ones who are STARRY
ING FOR ENOUGH TO KEEP THEM
ALIVE.
When we lay ourselves down at
night on comfortable beds for rest,
may the Lord help us to remember
His little ones who are in rags and
have not even shelter to protect
them from exposure
When we awake in the morning
and find call is WELL" and we look
out upon promising, peaceful coun-
try, may the Lord help us to think
Of His little ones who are homeless,
without even ray of hope for the
future except as it comes from the
friends OF the Lord Jesus Christ.
Some of us can do nothing; some
can do but little; others can do
more. However, let all who can,
come to the rescue, We will feel bet
ter when we have discharged this
duty--and every day it is TOO LATE
FOR SOME Of them, and the oppor-
tunity for us, SO far as they are con-
cerned, is sealed
Send your gifts to Miss Addie Ia
than, county chairman, at Walhalla.
