McCormick, Dec. 18.?Perry Brown of Plum Branch was run over and instantly killed at Plum Branch about two o'clock this morning by C. &. W. C. freight train No. 95 go ing west in charge of Engineer George Washington. Mr. Brown, who was about 40 years of age, lived at Plum Branch and had gone to the home of a neighbor about half an hour before the killing but on ac count of illness in the home of the neighbor, Mr. Brown did not go in the home. He left the home for the ostensible purpose of going to his own home and it is-supposed that he Stopped on the railroad which is just in front of the home of the neighbor, whom he had visited, and had gone to sleep when struck by the train. His body was badly mangled but he was still gasping when the train stopped and the crew reached his body. Coroner Riddlehoover was on the scene early this morning and held an inquest the jury returning a verdict that the deceased came to his- death by being run over by a freight train of the ?. & W. C. railway. Mr. Brown was well thought of and had numerous friends who will regret to hear of his untimely death. Mr. Brown was married 20 years ago to Miss Boddie, a doughter of Magis trate R. L. Boddie of Plum Branch, and she with six children survive him. Ahout one hour.before the killing of Mr. Brown an automobile carrying some men and women, whose names could not be learned from Greenville S. C. to Savannah, Ga., was met on the public highway near Plum Branch by another car and it is said that just as the two cars passed each oth er the occupants of one car shot in to the other, inflicting a wound on the leg of one of the men in the car going to Savannah. This car return ed to McCormick for assistance and later went to Augusta to take the wounded man to the hospital for treatment. While the wound in his leg is said to be painful, it is not thought to be serious. None of the names of the parties could be learn ed here this morning and no arrests have been made although Deputy Sheriff Brown is following every clue DISCUSS SALE OF OLD SHIPS IN PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia, Dec. 17.?Rear Ad miral David Potter, paymaster gen eral of the navy, and other naval of ficials discussed plans for the dis position of obsolete ships the navy department is offering for sale with a number of financiers, steel operat ors, shipbuilders, scrap dealers and others today at the Philadelphia navy yard.
