CHILD DIES IN WRECK.
Reckless Driving Alleged as Cause.
Boys Neck Broken.

Anderson, Sept. 23.-Harold Don
naM, seven year old boy, was killed
this morning when a car overturned
near Meals Creek church, between
this city and Belton, and his father
Tom Mcdonald, was severely injured,
having his shoulder blade broken,
and other injuries.
Mr.. Donald was coming to Ander-
son with his young son, who had his
arm broken about ten days ago, to
get the arm dressed, and young
fellow named Cowan Robinson said
that he was coming to Anderson, and
they might come with him. Mr.. Don
aid said he demonstrated with Rob
inson about driving so fast, but he
paid no attention to him.
The man was driving, so fast, that
it attracted the attention of speed
cops, and they began to chase the car.
They did not catch up with it until
after the accident. Whether the car
struck a sand bank and overturned
or whether the driver was passing
another car and got into the ditch,
is not known, but the car was COM
pletely turned over. The driver was
not hurt beyond a shaking up.
The boy was put in an automobile
and rushed to hospital, but died on
the way. Examination showed that
his neck was broken, and also his
jawbone.
