DIED PROM AUTO ACCIDENT.
Mrs, ll. H. Zimmerman's Death is
Deeply Deplored,
Last week we made brief mention j
of the death ol' Mrs. H. ll. Zimmer
man, of Westminster, whose untimely j
death caine as the result of an auto
mobilo actdent while abo and ber hus
band and daughter were on their way
to Georgia to visit friends. We had
thon no details of tho .sad tragedy at
hand, and tho reference to tho sad !
acidont and death was necessarily I
brief. We clip from the Tugntoo i
Tribuno (Westminster) of Tuesday
of last week tho following acount of.
the fearful acident:
"A manilo of gloom and sadness
was spread over Westminster last
Thursday afternoon when a message
was received from Athens, Ga., stal
ing that Mrs. ll. M. Zimmerman, o?
this place, was dead. She was ser
iously injured In an automobile acci
dent near Farmington. Cia., on the
morning Of October 7th. while Mr.
and Mrs. Zimmerman and Miss Lu
cile Zimmerman were en route to
Macon, (Ja., to visit Rev. and Mrs.
.1. E. Wallace.
"Leaving Westminster at | o'clock
In tho morning in their Overland
touring car, Mr. and Mrs. Zimmer
man and Miss Lucile traveled about
100 miles by 10.30, and alter pass
ing the town ot' Farmington, a sta
tion in Oconee county, tieorgia, on
the Central of Georgia railroad, the
stooling whoo! of tho car locked, and
the car skidded and became unman
ageable, striking a ditch and bank,
and turned turtle. Mrs. Zimmerman
occupied front seat with Miss Lucile,
who was driving, in order that she
might be as free as possible from
jolts and Jars of tho machine, and
Mr. Zimmerman was riding on the
rear Boat. As the car turned over,
Mrs. Zimmerman was caught under
the steorlng wheel and windshield,
one hand being almost severed. Tho
olbow of one arm was caught through
the steering wheel. Tho glass of the
windshield was shattorod, but she
was not cut by the glass, lt being
the frame of the shield which crush
ed hor arm.
"Mr. Zimmor.nnn and Miss Lucilo
were ovorcome with grief and had
to see their wife and mother remain
in thin position until an automobile
could make two trips to the nearest
town and procure help to lift tho
car. She was pinned itt such man
ner that to turn tho car either way
would hurt or kill her. To turn one
way would have cut her throat, and
to turn tho other would have cut
hor arm with parts of the car. As
soon as freed from tills distressing
position Mrs. Zimmerman was able
to walk a few steps, and lt was then
thought that she was not fatally hurt.
Sho was taken to the home of .1. H.
Maddox, a physician was summoned,
and she was given every attention
possible.
"lt was planned to carry her to
Atlanta that night, hut she grew
worse and these plans had to be
abandoned. Wednesday night she
became weaker, sinking into uncon
sciousness, and died at tl o'clock the
following day. She did not complain
while under thc car or while the doc
tor was taking the stitches in her

ann, ami on Wednesday while on the
bed she counted her blessings.
"Miss Lucilo escaped uninjured,
while Mr. Zimmerman suffered some
wrenches of tho spine. He cut his
way out through the sides of tho car.
The accident wns one of tho kind
which happen unexpectedly! and was
unavoidable, being due to the lock
ing of tho steering wheel. The acci
dent happened at a penn in the road
where il is exceedingly narrow. Miss
Lucile is a good chauffeur and always
drives with care and caution. The
tragic death of her mother was a
great shock, mid in her sad hours in
Oconee county, Georgia, she had
much of tho burden of sending mes
sages and making other arrange
ments made necessary by the sad ac
cident to look after until the arrival
of her brothers.
'"At Farmington and in the vicin
ity the people were kind and good,
and willingly rendered every service.
"At the homo ol* Mr. Maddox great
kindnes and service were rendered,
nnd those are most highly appreciat
ed by tboso bereaved. Although
among strangers, they were among
friends. Mr. Maddox, who ls 81
years old, walked some distance to
secure for .Mrs. Zimmerman anything
needed in the way of food and medi
cino. Friends in Farmington and
vicinity presented many of the floral
tributes.
".Miss Heka .Maddox, at whose
homo Mrs. Zimmerman died, accom
panied tho family With their grief
bearing charge, and remained until
yesterday afternoon. Miss. Maddox
was very kind and attentive from the
very start. She was with the family
during Mrs. Zimmerman's Inst days
and hours and came home with thom
to do what she could to bring com
fort ?hile they were under the f mat
weight of sorrow. Her kindness ?ind
devotion will always bo remembered.
"Mrs. Zimmerman was born in the
Vurrcnnes section of Anderson coun
ty, South Carolina, on September LM,
IS.") I, and was therefore fi t years of
age on the fifth Sunday of last month.
She was a daughter of the late .lames
McLil), and her maiden name was
Miss Laura Elizabeth McLtn. She
and .Mr. Zimmerman were married
about 40 years ago, and practically
all her married life, was spent in
Westminster. The devotion ol' Mr.
and Mrs. Zimmerman to each other
and to their children cons ti tu tod a
beautiful domestic picture. . Death
had never entered the family until
Mrs. Zimmerman ^vas almost sud
denly cailed away.
"The children ure Walter M. Zim
merman, of the Southern Hallway:
Mrs. 0. M. Stockton, of Little Rock,
Ark.; IL R. Zimmerman, of the Sea
board Air Line Railway; Fred L.
Zimmerman, of Atlanta, Ga., and

"To those who aro bowed down In
grief is extended what consolation
there ls in tho sympathy of a wide
circle of friends.
"Thc funeral took placo at the late
rosldence of Mrs. Zimmerman Sunday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, and was
largely attended. Rev. J. E. Wallace,
her formor pastor, now of Macon,
Ga., conducted the service in a most
appropriate and comforting manner
to those so sorely bereaved, and paid
a beautiful tribute to the life of the
deceased. Ho was assisted by Rev.
A. N. littlejohn, thc present pastor of
the Presbyterian church, and Rev. J.
W. Lewis, preacher In charge of the
Westminster Methodist circuit. The
pall boarors were six nephews

Ask any physician or druggist and
he will tell you that the best and
only effective remedy for a had cold
sore throat, influenza, or la grippe
ls what he calls a "brisk calomel
purge," which means a big dose of
calomel at bed time. Hut as thc old
style calomel has some very unpleas
ant and dangerous qualities, physi
cians and druggists are now recom
mending tho improved nausealcss
calomel, called "Calotahs," which is
pu rilled and refined from the sick
ening and dangerous effects, and
whoso medicinal virtues are vastly
improved.
Ono Calotah on the tongue nt bed
time, with a swallow of Water
that's all. No salts, no nausea nor
tho slightest interference with your
diet, pleasures or work. Next morn

Calotahs are sold only in original

JESS GREEN TOOK TO HIS HEELS
Negro Prisoner in Oconee Jail Made
u Daring Dash for Liberty.
The job of deputy sheriff and jailor
is not all "pie" by a jug full!
Last Thursday morning when Dep
uty Sheriff Doon R. Moss went to
open the outer door to the cell de
partment he noticed that the door
did not swing with its usual free
dom, but be thought nothing strange
about it, and gave an extra push that
sent it swinging open, and as the
door swung back be received a lick
in the face from a black list and a
smash over his right hand with an
instrument of some kind. Tho force
of tho unexpected blows, and the
weight of the bulk of a negro mau
falling on top of him got him off his
feet, but he rose in time to see one
of his negro prisoners making his
way at top speed through the jail
yard and out of tho gate.
Grabbing bis pistol from bis pocket
Mr. Moss took a shot at the fleeing
coon, who happened to be one Jesse
Green, who ls In jail on thc charge
of having violated the liquor laws in
that he was traveling on tho South
ern Railway with three gallons of
brandy in bis possession, lie was ar
rested at Seneca some few days ago
and lodged in the Oconee jail.
Green made his escape from the
jail yard, across the Court House
square and Main street, heading for
the tall timber back of that section
of town known as "Tho Hub." He
was followed, however, by a num
ber of citizens who happened to be
about tho Court House square, and
they managed to Keep at least In
sight of the black spock as it out
lined itself against tho unlit hori
zon. Automobiles were soon on the
road at altogether unlawful speed
under ordinary conditions, and Green
was overhauled before he bad gotten
past the town limits.
And if there was over one tho
roughly scared coon, Jesse Green
was "it" He was speechless and
pale--that Is. he had that ashy ap
pearance that a darkey has when be
would bo pale if it were possible for
him to be. But Jess was scared all
right, and be had a right to be with
five bullets chasing him out of the
jail premises and a good many more
than that number of men-some col
ored ones muong tho number-bot
after bim after bc gained the open of
the streets.
The whole thing happened so
quickly that Green was back in his
cell, limp as a rag from fright and
exertion, before lt was realized fully
what was taking place.
Deputy Sheriff Moss was hampered
in his efforts to got his prisoner by
reason of the fact that he had to stop
to lock tho Jail door in order to se
cure his other prisoners, some four
or Ave, who were at the time clean
ing up about the cells, and were
outside the steel cages.
Just how the darkey concealed
himself to got tho drop on Deputy
Moss is not definitely known. He
was either just back'of the door or
ovor it, in such position that when
he struck the deputy as ho entered,
tho darkey could drop out of tho
opening and over the body of Mr.
Moss. Fortunately the licks struck
were broken and did not have the
cvidontly desired effect of putting
Mr. Moss entirely out of commission,
and he was on his feet almost before
the negro had time to clear tho office
room through which he had to pass
before gaining tho outside world. A
shot was fired at tho darkoy by Mr.
Moss before the latter had been able
to entirely regain his feet.
Creon when he was taken from the
train at Seneca had in his posses
sion, besides tho threo gallons of
brandy, a ticket to Spartanburg, and
lt ls supposed that he was hoadlng for
the military camp at. that place to
dispose of his liquor. From his pe
culiar manner of talking lt ls evi
dent that ho is a low-country dar
key, as he does not talk like the
negroes of this section of the State.
Having taken the desperate chance
ho did to gain his liberty, it ls
thought entirely prohnbin that tho
darkey is really guilty of some of
fence of a much more grave nature
than that with which be is charged
by the Oconee officers. Ho ls of a
rather slight build, about R feet X
or ii inches in height, we judge,
though he was in such.a state of
collapse at the limo thc reporter
saw bim that an Intelligent guess at
his height, was hardly possible. He
is darker than what i.4 known as the
ginger bread color, though not very
black in "complexion."
Tlie important featuro of the story
is, however, that bo is safe behind
the Jail bars, and likely to stay
there until he ls tried and convicted
or released.
And now that ho has made the
effort to escape and tho assault upon
the officer, there is no possibility of
his not being convicted at least on
ono charge.

ALRKRT NORMAN MARE A MAJOR
Former Wa Huilla Roy Makes Good
Advance ?t Age of Only 23.
From tho Concord (N. C.) Daily
Tribune of October 14th wo take the
following bit of information that will
prove of great Interest to Walhalla
people. Albert Norman, to -whom
the item refers, is an old Walhalla
hoy, having resided here for some
years with his parents, and it is our
recollection that ho claims Walhalla
as his birth place, but of this we aro
not entirely certain. However, Wal
halla is glad to claim Albert as one
of "our boys," and we look for him
to make good in the active service of
Uncle Sam. Tho Tribune's articlo
says:
"Capt. Albert I. Norman, it has
been learned through private sources,
was promoted on September 18th to
the rank of major In the regular
army.
"Major Norman, who is a son or
Mr. and Mrs. V. L. Norman, of this
city, has held a captain's commis
sion since lie finished at the officers
training school about a year ago. He
is a graduate of Clemson Callege,
South Carolina, and immediately
upon his graduation in 1017 he en
tered military training. He was made
a captain and sent to ('amp Jackson,
S. C.. for a short time. Later he was
sent to t h r i 'school of Oro' al Fort
Sill, Okla., where, on itccounl of his
record, he was made an instructor.
He has held this position for about
six months, and his promotion to bo
co inf; a rna lor followed.
"The many friends bert; of Major
Norman will ?on gratti I a te him upon
Iiis sucre;.*. He hi only 2'.', years of
age, and th? fact that ho was given
this rank In ?pile of his lack of years
speaks wail for bia ability."
