Capt. Potts at Camp Jackson.
Amons: the recent arrivals from
overseas is Capt. Geo. W. Potts,
son of Mr. and Mrs. Dallas O.
Potts, of the Pleasant Valley section.
Captain Potts landed with
his regiment in New York some
weeks ago andjvas stationed for
a time at Camp Upton. The
regiment, composed of colored
men of the Southern States, was
tranferred the last week to Camp
Jackson, this State, and since
that time about half the command
has been discharged.
Speaking of his work overseas,
Captain Potts says that he had
a wonderful experience, but was
very glad to get back to the
States. Eleven men in Captain
Potts' company were cited for
bravery, and of the original 204
in the company only about 75
came out of the fighting uninjured,
all the officers being
wounded and one killed.
Captain Potts expects to receive
his discharge from the service
at an early date.

TWO PEOPLE WERE KILLED <*
M AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT, f
A. O. Anderson, Well Known J
Mill Man, and Young Charles ?
McNealy Met Tragic Deaths n
Sunday Afternoon. v
Plunging headlong over a *
omKonlrmAnf ?
-w. WW VIllVHIIOIilVliV) VIIV |Anderson
car of CharleB W. ^
McNealy, of this city, at 5 o'clock
Sunday afternoon carried down a
10 their deaths little Charles t
McNealy, son of Mr. McNealy, t
and A. 0. Anderson, overseer of fc
carding at mill" No. 2, of the ii
Fort Mill Mfg. company. The v
accident occurred at the Bailes t
bridge which spans Sugar creek t
about two miles east of Fort
Mill, arid the bodies of the un- tl
foriunates were not recovered t
for possibly two hours following
the accident. In the car at the
time were Mr. McNealy, Mr.
Anderson, Charles McNealy. t
Clarence S. Link and Marion p
Mills, all of thia oitv Thpnartv u
was enroute to Charloite, where f
Mr. MeNealy intended to take a t
train for S* Una, Ala., where a c
position had been offered him. a
The car was being driven by Mr. i
MeNealy and seated beside him t
was Mr. Anderson, the three r
other occupants being in the 0
rear seat. The road immediate- f
ly west of the creek bridge is in s
a very bad state and it was u
while in the act of avoiding a -j
deep mud hole that the machine a
skidded to one side and rolled ^
down the embankment to the j,
waters of the creek. The car t
landed upside down in the bed ^
of the stream and nothing could ^
be seen above the water except v
about six inches of the rear j
wheels. In a manner seeming v
almost a miracle the elder Mr. ^
MeNealy, Mr. Link and Mr. ^
Mills succeeded in extricating a
themselves from the wreck and ^
reached the surface of the t
water. They at once made t
numerous attempts to rescue Mr. N
Anderson and the little NcNealy r
boy but were unsuccessful, and ^
finally when all but exhausted L
sought help. A passing car ^
brought the three men to Fort t
Mill and soon several hundred f
persons gathered at the creek c
bank to begin the work of res- t
cue. The body of the MeNealy c
child was taken from the rear f
of the machine and a little later ||
Mr. Anderson's body was re- r
moved from the front of the t
car. It was said that an ex- (
amination of Mr. Anderson j
showed a severe wound in the c
back of the head and this, it (
was thought, probably would s
have caused his death had he 1
not gone down under the water. .
There were only visible slight .
bruises aboih* the little McNealy (
boy and his death evidently was <
due solely to drowning. The
three surviving members of the
party sustained wounds but
none serious. The wind shield j
and top of the car were completely
wrecked. <
Mr. A. O. Anderson was about {
45 years of age and is survived '
by a wife. He1 had been em- .
ployed as overseer of carding
in one of the local mills for a ?
number of years. Not only was t
he popular with his help, but
was considered an expert in his
line of work, having in the last
few years been offered a number
of more lucrative positions
but preferred to remain in Fort
Mill. He was a good citizen and
admired by all who knew him.
The remains were shipped Tuesday
morning to Saluda, S. C., ]
his old home for burial. <

heir bereavement.
Catawba Bridge Controversy.
There is more or less local conroversy
over the location of the
roposed bridge over the Cataw>a
between Wright's and Boyd's
erries. -As originally drawn,
he bill providing for the bridge, i
onformed to the North Carolina j
tatute, to leave the location to j
he highway engineers of. the!
wo States. This was changed j
nainly on objection to the ideaj
f requiring the county to pay j
or a bridge the location and j
upervision of which was to be
inder the authority of the State.
?he difference as to location is
ibout like this: Mecklenburg
>eople are said to be desirous of
ocating the bridge as high up
he river as they can get it, and
>eople of the Point section, on
he York side of the river, agree
vith them on two main grounds,
n the first place they urge that
inless there is considerable
leference to the Mecklenburg
>eople there will be no bridge
ind in the second place, the
ligher up the bridge is located
he better their prospect tff geting
a fairly good outlet road of
vhich they stand in very great
leed. They urge that in adlition
to the long approaches
hat will make the erection of a
midge at Wright's ferry out of
he question, they will be cut off
rom the bridge by Crowder's
reek, which creek, because of
he immense volume of water it
:arries during freshets, will be a
urther menace to a bridge
ocated immediately below its
nouth. It is a fact that whether
he river bridge is located above
>r below Crowder's creek/ there
must be a bridge over Crowder's
:reek to permit the people on
>ne side or the other of that
uream to reacn tne river Dric'ge.
People leaving on the south side
)f Crowder's creek, generally
irgue 1-hat the best solution of
-he matter is to extend the
Dlover-Bethel road two miles
>n the river aud build the bridge
it or near Wright's ferry. They
dso insist that the Wright's
'erry location will be more
icceptable to the larger number
)f people who live to the south
$ide of Crowder's creek and it
vill more readily contribute to
:he restoration and development
>f the communication between
Mecklenburg and York coun;ies.
