Two Die In Auto
Hit By Southern
Two men were instantly killed
when they were knocked clear of their
automobile and tossed m*ny feet into
the ditch aldnq the railroad right of
way at the Steele crossing just out of
Rock Hill, about 5:30 o'clock Monday
evening.
They drove at 60 or 66 miles an
hour upon the (Southern track directly
in front of the passenger train due
here at 4:10 o'clock, whioh was nearly
two hours late and running fast.
One was lOhalmers E. Williams,
secretary-treasure? of the Heath
Springs textile mill company. The
other was Edward Robinson, a farmer
of Kershaw county. Mr. Williams
was about 50 years old, and Mr. Robinson
about 70 years of age. They
were returning from Rock Hill to
Heath Springs.
An ambulance from Rock Hill arrived
soon after the accident and took
the bodies to Rock Hill. The train
was stopped as sopn as possible, and
the crew rendered whatever assistance
they could until the bodies were
removed. The automobile was entirely
demolished.
Th^ train passed Yorkville over
two and a half hours late. It had
been delayed at Kingtille for an hour
and fifty minutes by a broken down
engine which necessitated' bringing
another engine from Columbia to pull
it on its way.
The road foreman, riding on the
fireman's seat, Baid there was hardly
time to cry out or move a finger
from the time^the automobile appeared
dead ahead on the track and the
crash which seemed to explode it as
bodies and pieces of car flew in all
directions.?Yorkville Enquirer.

stopped the car and got out saying
he had "come to raise hell." He
was invited a short distance behind
the car by Roberts and aftet a few
words came back to the car with his
throat slashed. The injured man was
carried to Bothune where he was attended
by Dr. E. Z. Truesdale, who
sent him on to the hospital. Dr.
G. S. Rhame testified that the man
diet! from hemorrhage, as the result
ocf a knife wound four inches long.
. Phillips I operated a Ailing station
fW*r Kershaw and is survived by his
widow and nine children. Roberts is
a farmer and resides near Shamrock.
As a result of the verdict of the coroner's
inquest Roberts is being held
i* jail for the killing.

Forestry Association Urges Care
Woods fires are of course exceedingly
destructive at any season, but
particularly so during the summer
months, when the trees are in full
foliage. " THe destruction to wild life
-is also much greater during tlw breeding
and nesting season. Due to our
highly resinous pine forests in this
county, and our general climatic conditions,
fires are apt to break out at
rfny time unless great .caution is used.
All landowners are, therefore, urged
to cooperate with the Forestry Association
in the prevention and
prompt suppression of destructive
fires.

Former Resident
Buried Here Sunday
L, W. JBoykin died at his home,
I 3208 Hunter street, at 9 o'clock Saturday
night after a brief illnees, He
| ha<j suffered for some time from angina
pectoris but had been confined
to his home only for the last two
weeks, which wa? considered more n?
a rest thati actual illness. Saturday
morning, however, he suffered an
acute attack and was in a critical
condition front that time on.
Few other men in South Carolina
could boast as many genuine friends
as did Whit Boykin. Himself the
most open hearted and generous and
hospitable of men, he drew others
to him and held them with his frank
and charming nature. Anything that
was his was also the property of his
friends, or of anyone who might need
it. 1
During the greater portion of his
life he farmed extensively on his ancestral
plantation, Pine Grove, ir^ the
Boykin neighborhood, and during
these days, * countless numbers of
South Carolinians enjoyed his bountiful
hospitality nnd entertainment.
But not only the oldest and most
revered families of the state shared
his jovial kindness. No one was too
poor or lowly to be the beneficiary of
his open heart, and never was a
wanderer, however mean, . turned
hungry from his door.
Brought up in the country, Whit
Boykin was an pxpert woodsman ,knd
a phenomenal shot, and he brought
hunting and fishing to the point of
an art. (His experiences by field and
flood, told in his gripping and inimitable
style, have delighted innumerable
hearers around campflre^ and
dining table. In more recent years,
seeing the ever increasing scarcity of
game, he had been deeply interested
in conservation.
"Mr. Boykin was first married?, ih
1887 to M.iss Ellen Douglas Cantey
and to thii Pinion nine children were
bora, seven of whom survive! The
first Mrs. Boykin died 20 years ago.
In 1926 he was married to Mi& Lulie
Frances Harvin, of .Manning, who survives
him with the following children
of the first marriage: Mrs. B. D. 'Boykin,
otf Boykin; Mrs. H. McGowan
Holmes, of EkUsto Island; L. W. Boy-,
kin, Jr., of Aiken; L. H. Deas -Boykin,
of Boykin; Mrs. T. L. Alexander,
of Atlanta; J. Willis Cantey Boykin,
of Boykin, and R. B. Boykin, of Boykin.
He is also survived by dtwo
brothers, B. H. Boykin and A. J.
Boykin, both of Boykin, and by 17
grandchildren.
Lemuel Whitaker Boykin was born
in the Boykin community, Kershaw
county, November 26, 1861, thereby
being in his 71st year. He was the
son of A. Hamilton Boykin and Sarah
DeSaussure Boykin. He was educated
at Kenmore academy in Maryland,
Western Maryland university and
Sewanee but until comparatively re;
cently spent practicallyhls entire mature
life on the farm. A^ter abandoning
his farming activities he was
for a number of years connected with
the federal land bank as an appraiser
of land and later was with the state
highway department condemnation
board. For the last seven years he
has lived in Columbia.?'Sundays Columbia
State.
Funeral services were held for Mr,
Boykin from Grace Episcopal church
Sunday afternoon, being attended by
one olf the largest crowds ever seer
at a funeral in Camden. Service!
( were conducted by Bishop Kirkmar
