(The Herald, Sept. 28.) While en route to Henderson ville, M. C., yesterday morning, Kev. W.H. K. Pendleton's automobile turned turtle at the foot of "Windmill" Hill, between Cumpobello and Inman, and all seven passengers in t li o car at the time Buffered some injury. lt is thought that all will recover with the exception of Carey Pendleton, 12-year-old son of the Episcopal rec tor, and his condition is very grave. Attending physicians fear that the fracture al the base of the. skull suf fered by the lad may be fatal. Mrs. Pendleton was pinned under the car and sin* suffered some very painful injuries, but none of them will be serious. Miss I'la Sito, who 'ins been mak ing ber home with the Pendleton family, suffered a I) Itllber of super* llcial wounds. Miss Kllzabeth Pendleton, Jose phine Pendleton and Mr. Pendleton all suffered bruises, but none of ItlCIll will resn 11 seriously. The Pendleton family and Miss Sito left Spartanburg about !. o'clock yesterday morning for 11enderson . ?Ile, where Miss lOli/nbeth Pendle ton was lo enter Fassifern Colicu? for the year. The party intended staying in the North Ca roi'na town only one day. About 10 o'clock Mr. Pendleton was coasting tho car down a long incline ol' approximately ene mile, and when he saw a rough place in ibo road, he must have pressed tho wrong lever, and instead of slacken ing the car i be machine went for ward at redouhP'd speed. The car then turned entirely over and faced back toward Spartanburg. pinning some occupants underneath. while others were thrown for a considera ble distance. Hardly a minute bad elapsed before another car came by and aid was summoned from the nearby towns ol' Campobello and In man. Dr. Stevens and Dr. Chapman arrived within a few minutes and they rendered all possible medical as sistance, and meanwhile other cars bad been secured to bring the party to Spartanburg. Information of the accident had been sent here and local parties bad been formed to go to tho scene of the accident, but be fore they reached Inman they bad mel tho party coming in. All the injured people were at once carried lo tho home of Mr. Pendleton, nt 27 I Pine street, where a number of phy sicians did everything possible for t be sufferers. Mr. Pendleton says that be is una ble to account for the accident, un less it was brough) about as staled above. Ile says that the car was .in lier perfect control and proceeding ni a very moderate rate of speed un til he tried to apply I lie brakes when the road became rough, and be is in di.led to believe thal he must have fed more gasoline instead. That more members Of thc party (lid liol suffer serious injuries is hardly less than miraculous, consid ering the shape in which the car was found. lt is regarded as extraordi nary that Mrs. Pendleton. Miss lOli/.ft both Pendleton, Robert and Jose phine Pendleton could have been pi limul under the car as they were without some of them suffering seve ral broken bones and other injuries. Instead of that, they have only sus tained a lew abrasions and lacera tions of the skin. Mr. Pendleton es caped almost unhurt, although he has one or two severe bruises on lils face. Mr. Pendleton is the beloved rec tor ol tho Spartanburg Episcopal church, and he and bis family have hundreds of friends in Spartanburg and all over South Carolina. The deepest concern was manifested by people in all walks of life when news of the accident was received herc yes terday, and throughout tho day dozens ol' callers were at the Pendle ton borne offering whatever assist ance might bo in their power. Their sympathies were deeply aroused over tho serious injury to little Carey Pen dleton. Little Hope for laid. Dr. II. ll. Slcedly, tho ittending physician, was asked last night for a statement as to the condition of the patients injured in an automobile ac cident yesterday morning, when Rev. W, ll. K. Pendleton's ear turned tur tle. Dr. Steedly said: "Carey Pendleton suffered an ex tensive fracture al tho base of the skull. This Is always a very grave matter and the patient is in a serious condition. The outcome cannot be predicted. "Mrs. Pendleton has suffered su perficial wounds and a number of bruises, but ber condition is not alarming, unless tome internal inju ries should develop. "Miss Silo has no bones broken, but has suffered painful flesh wounds and some of these may Inter become more serious. She suffered no bro ken bones, and if she did not suffer internal injury her condition is not snell as to cause alarm." D. J.
