wa# returning home with him and his
wife and Mr. Dillard, who was com
ing here to visit relatives. Just aftex
they passed Chappells, Mr. lfender?
son, who was driving, said he saw th?
truck approaching and decided that
the driver had lost control of It be
cause it was wobbling in the road. Ho
brought his machine almost to a
standstill, he said, when the truck
ran into him, striking the automobile
such a terrific ?blow that it turned
over and fell across a ditch.
Mr. Dillard's leg was broken when
he was thrown from the car. Mrs.
M. A. Henderson was thrown clear of
the machine, falling into the ditch,
and probably would have been fatally
injured if the ends of the car had not
been caught on the banks.
The truck striking the car in which
Mr. Dillard was riding was a lumber
truck, according to information from
the Henderson home in Greenwood,
and was occupied by five other
negroes besides the driver. The name
of the man at the wheel is not known.
The driver claimed, according to
Mr. Henderson, that he ran into a
sand bed and could not prevent his
truck from striking the touring car.
Mr. Henderson said he thought that
the truck would pass, despite the wob
bling wheels, as there was room
enough for another machine to com<;
in between the two automobiles on
the highway. However, declared the
Greenwood man, one of the negroes
riding In the truck cried out just be
fore the two cars came together and
the driver seen\ed to lose complete
control of the truck, ?
The car occupied by the white peo
ple turned over several times and
went down a fifteen-foot embank
ment. Mr. Dillard' and Mrs. M. A.
Henderson were the only passengers
injured, Mrs. Henderson was resting
very comfortably tonight, and her in
juries are not believed to be seiious.
Augustus M. Dillard was 53 years
of age, and had been engaged in the
cotton mill business practically all ot
his life. He had been general .man
ager of the Palmetto mills of Colum
bia and the three Lexington mills for
about ten years. At one time he was
a resident ^pf the capital, and while
there made many friends. He was
an able cotton mill man? a mart who
had worked himself to the top by
ability and conscientious efforts.
Mr. Dillard was born at Pendleton.
He was engaged in the mill business
at Westminister before assuming
charge of the four mills of which he
was general manager at the time of
I his death. He was a member of "the
Presbyterian church and was also a
Mason.
Rudolf Kruby, the Hartford "king
of beggars," can ask for alms in ten
languages. Arraigned in court re
cently for fighting, he said, "I would
rather earn my bread honestly^ by
begging than become a burglar,"
