' V UNION SALESMAN VICTIM OF WRECK ! . . I Kpliv Millliniv nf I Jivnnia dm salesman for the Carolina Remedies company of Union, died at the Colum1 bia hospital yesterday afternoon, he having- been brought to the institution during the day suffering from injuries caused by the overturning of his automobile on the Garner's Ferry road. Mr. Milllinix was alone when the accident happened. Mrs. Mullinix is expected to arrive in Columbia today to take charge of the body of her husband. Coroner Scott said last evening that the inquest would be held Wednesday provided it was decided that an inquest svas necessary. Mr. Mullinix, who arived- in Columbia several days ago and registered at the Imperial hotel, was brought to the hospital by J. A. Sargeaat, photographer, who was coming to Oolumbia from the Mill Creek a eh sat. When a little beyond the four mi|e post Mr. Sergeant saw the man lying* < in the road and the overturned car'-, some ten feet distant from him. Mr. Sargoant left his car and learned from a road gang that was working nearby that Mr. Mullinix had been killed when his car turned over. The photographer was preparing to take a picture of the body and automobile when ho decided to see if life was altogether extinct. He detected a faint beat of the heart and at once called on members of the road gang to assist him in placing the unconscious man in his auiomobile. He was rushed to the Columbia hospital and in a short time was on the operating table. The skull was found to be fractured. The injured man lingered until afternoon when he passed away, never having regained consciousneas. The road gang thought that Mr. Mullinix had been killed instpntly and it was said that a man had been sent to notify the coroner of the tragedy and that the members were awaiting his arrival l>efore moving the body. The first reports which . reached Columbia were that Mr, Mul, linix had been kiled on the road. The inclosed car in which Mr. Mul. linix was riding was said to have turned over once or twice before ber ing checked. The salesman was well k known in Columbia and his tragic i deatti"~hhs brought noroar to i (friends and acquaintances. He is' [ survived by his widow and one child. i .
