Berry, of Xew: berry, was struck by an automobile driven by Chalmers Brown, son of Dr. W. C. Brown, and fattally injured. The testimony of all the witnesses, and it seems that there were few eye witnesses, is to the effect that the car was being driven very slowly, and that tiie boy ran out oi the drug store across the street in front of the moving i automobile. The coroner's jury exonerates young Brown. j i The skull of tue boy was crushed, and he never regained consciousness after being struck and died in ^bout i an hour after the accident. He was attended by Drs. Pelham, Mower, Moore, Houseal and Kibier. , He will be buried at Saluda Friday I morning at 10 o'clock. it is said that he was a very bright boy and 011 the honor roll oi tne. second gi'ade at Speers Street school, j It will be a very sad Cnristmas for the family of the little boy. rr^ - - * ~ kv ATrt,riotrotA : i iie inquest was nciu u> ; Sample in the absence of Coroner Lindsey, and the following is the testimony given at the inquest: Dr. W.

Looked off, and did not see tne accident. My attention was attracted by noise made by auto striking or turning over sometheing. Auto was running very slowly?hardly faster than 1 can walk?not six miles an hour. It was Dr. Brown's son in the car. Am not positive about lights on the car.
