Booth sja-nl last night on the In id|fe
of the creek in water that before
then rescue at 7:15 this morning had
become shoulder high and rosy
another foot half un hour aftci their
deliverance.
The Rev. Mr. Beat and the Kev. Mr.
Booth had been conducting revival
heiA ices at Smyrna Methodist church
in west Kershaw county and they
with Mis. Rest were returning home
last night about 0:.'10 when they approached
the creek and water getting
in toe motor caused it to stall. Abandon
og the car the jiurty made their
way to the bridge which was thdn
out of water but could get no farther
due to high and swift water, the
road being lowev on this side of the
stream.
Toe shouts of the marooned persons
were heard about 4 o'clock this
morning at a house about a quarter
of a mile from the creek and a movement
was started to effect their rescue.
At 7:15 this morning, Earl Truesdale,
who had been summoned and
had procurer! a rowboat, with a companion,
went to tho rescue and took
the stranded trio from their watery
perch. The creek had risen steadily
after the car was abandoned and by
the time help came was shoulder
high. Thirty minutes later it had
reached a height that would have
been over the heads of the refugees.
All three were taken to the home
of Mr. Best not far from the creek,
six or seven mileo from Blaney,
where they are under the care of a
physician and are expected to recover
without being seriously affected
by their experience.

GENDARMERIE IN CRASH
Car of Returning IUi4arit Strike*
Nryroca' Auto With Fatal lUnuIti
A?? they wert returning from
Berkeley county yeftterday afternoon/
where they4 had been to raid a large
still, Stair Constables J. II- Munn of
Bethane and L. A. I/own of New
Hrookland were hurt in an. automor
bile wreck seven mile? thin Hide of
St. Matthews, when a light touring
car filled with N eg roe* came out
from a side road unexpectedly and
was hit by the heavy car driven by
the officer# before they could stop.
The injured men were, brought to the
Bupti-t hospital by a parsing car immediately
pftor the accident.
Ore of the Negroes, Jesse Green,
who wan riding in the front seat, was
killed in the crash, and several others
injured. The young Negro driver
was taken to the Jail in St. Matthews,
pending further investigation
of the accident. The other occupants
were taken to houses of relatives
neqrby.
Neither of the two officers is believed
to be hurt seriously, though
both are badly bruised, and Mr. Lown
received bad cuts on the back of both
hands. Nine stitches were taken in
his right hand and four were taken
in his left. They were accompanied
by a Mr. Flowers from Camden, but
he was not hurt, and went to his
home lakt night.
Constable Lown and Munn, with
Mr. Flowers, left Columbia about 8
o'clock yesterday morning to raid a
Btill in Berkeley county between
Pinopolis and Elloree. They found
the still with little trouble, getting
850 gallons of beer and a complete
100-gallon capacity copper outfit.
They started on the return trip, leaving
Elloree about 3:80, and ran into
the Negroes' car a little after 4
o'clock. . *
Mr. Ixiwn said that the car shot
out in front of him so unexpectedly
and so quickly that he did not have
time to stop and the front of his car
struck the front side of the light
touring car. Bothk cars were overturned,
the heavier car righting itself,
but the lighter car threw the
Negroes out on both sides and remained
upturned. Flying glass was
the cause of the cuts received by Mr.
, Lown.?Monday's Columbia State.
