Cameron of the So i- j thern Powe/ tompnay, while on his ; way home late Saturday afternoon . from Union, whore he had that day ben in the discharge of his duty, met with! I a painful accident. At Whitmire, the rain being late, he accepted a seat In Mr. S. J. D. Price's car, which was &a its way to town, driven by Mr. ' , Price's son, Frank, who was accom- j panted by Junius Cromer. Robert ^Price, also of the Southern 'Power com1?any, who had been in the automobile, remained at Whitmire. When they steadied the home place of Dr. .w, c. "Brawn the car ran into a wagon going In the same direction. A negro wwman on the wagon was somewhat feart and tre hind wheels of the wawere broken in the spokes. The shining through the windshield of the car blinded the occupants so that they did not see the wason in time to prevent accident. The machine was only slightly damaged. Mr. Campbell was the only one in "the car who was hurt. He was too Ibuslly er^asred wit a fine bird lunch that Mrs. Price had given him and did not see anything wrong or know of any danger until he found himself on the ground with the car on him and a mouthful of bird meat coing down.v "The force of the impact had thrown the automobile one side up with Mr. Cameron under the windshield on the sandbed of tho road. He was * ^ ^ a rr TX" O C suranea hhq iur tut? nuiv i/ciu^ ?>c?c unable to speak. He was not able to Iielp himself, but the others came to ?is assistance and finally succeeded ' in extracting him from his dangerous position after several efforts to refoove the car high enough from his body to enable him to be pulled out. "He was brought home and Dr. .Tno. B. Setzler was called in. The doctor tmmd no bones broken, either internal injuries or external bruises. Mr. "Cameron's /back was sprained and he kept his bed over Sunday suffering with soreness from the sprain, it was a narrow escape from being mashed Cat with fatal results, and his many friends a^e truly glad his injuries were no worse. He was out in the city Monday. * Death of Mrs. >'ora Gallnian.
