Boys Plunge 200 Feet
When Car Leaves Road

Gabe McMorrough, Ja., and Herbert
Steele underwent wild ride Friday
night, when the car in which they were
returning to Lexington, plunged off the
top of Big Hill on Highway No. 12
near Mcmillan, that resulted in a severe
scalp wound of Gabe McMorrough, altho
Steele escaped without injury.
According to Herbert Steele, he had
dropped off to sleep and was awakened
when the car crashed through tree tops
in it's downward plunge that ended
fully 200 feet from the top of the en-
bankment, after plowing through the
wire guards on the road, underbrush,
and a barbed wire fence. The auto
struck a young sapling that served to
catapult it in the air, the car finally
landing across a deep ditch and on its
side, throwing Mr.. McMorrough through
the door opening knocking him an
conscious and cutting a deep cash in
his head.
EXtrcating himself, Mr.. Steele tried
to render aid to his companion, examina-
tion leading him to thing he was seri-
ously hurt, he went back to the road and
tagged passing car of young men who
helped carry Gabe to Durant where DR..
Elmore rendered medical aid. They re-
manned in Durant until next morning.
Wreckers were dispatched to the scene
and a special rigging had to be employed
to remove the car from the deep ravine.
1t was badly damaged and the miracle
still remains that both occupants were
not killed in the plunge that was taken.

Man Faces Charge
AS Bogus" Doctor

T. H. Abbey, who claims Greenwood,
as his home, was arrested Thursday
afternoon at Mileston upon affidavit
made by DR.. T. P. Haney, county health
director, charging him with practicing
medicine without license. M. j. Osborn
of Tchula, was the arresting officer
Abbey was carried before Judge G. P
Wallace, at Tchula, where preliminary
hearing was held and bond was fixed
at $1,000. He was unable to make bond
now in Jail, according to DR.. Haney, and
trial will be held in Tchula April 13
at Abbey's request.
According to statements of DR.. Haney,
he was informed by DR.. F. J. Underwood
state health officer, that Abbey with
two negro confederates, were coming to
Mileston each Thursday and examining
and treating patients for all kinds of
maladies and diseases. DR.. Haney posed
as a patient and Abbey told him that he
had high blood pressure and kidney
| trouble, and that he would guarantee
him a cure for $500. Having had sucl
a great number of patients to cali OF
him during the day, Abbey claimed he
was out of medicine and was unable tC
treat MN lmmeulately, Dut promised
treatment within an hours time, if he
would go to Tchula and procure The
medicine. Upon arrival in Tchula, DR.
Haney sought an officer and had him
arrested
Several of the patients treated by
Abbey were interviewed by DR.. Haney
| and according to statements made him
diagnosis was made by pinching their
finger nails. 1t was learned that 95
per cent of his patients were found to
be suffering in some form as result
of kidney trouble. Charges for services
ranged from $500 to $4,000, usually
$1,000. In practically every case DR.
Haney said that from $500 to $500 was
secured when treatment was begun, the
remainder to be paid when patient was
cured. No case was found where the
last payment had been made, stated DR.
Haney. 1t has been estimated that at
least two or three hundred negro patti
ents had received treatment during the
past three months. Samples of the medi-
cine were taken, which were found to
be all alike, stated Doctor Haney. Of

course in one of the states leading col

five weeks work in handling Bible study
at several training schools of the south
