Banks McFadden Is'
Badly Hurt in Crash
Huuk* McFadden. assistant football
coach, at Clemson college aud the
only Houth Carolina football player
to ever receive All-American honor#
who badly Injured wbeu hie automobile
left the highway and craehed
Into a tree at Liberty Hill early Suutluy
morning.
McFadden, on hie way from Myrtle
Beach to (heat Falls, where hla parents
reside, is said to have dosed
momentarily aa hla car approached
the curve lu the highway In front of
the Liberty Hill post office.
The only eye-witness to the accident
was Henry Cantey. youthful colored
boy, who was walking along the
highway and was within a few hundred
feet of where the McFadden car
left the highway aud crashed Into a
cedar tree.
Cantey had seen the lights of the
McFadden car as the machine came
from the south. Then came the
crash, Cantey hurried to the scene and
found McFadden lying in the road unconscious
and . bleeding from ' cVits
about his head. The football star
was moaning when Cantey reached
The negro shouted for help but bis
crleH went unheeded. Ten minutes
later a passing motorist was flagged
aud McFadden placed In the rear seat
and rushed to the hospital at Rock
Hill. Cantey said he moaned all of
the time that he was In the road.
Friends of McFadden from Rock
Hill, headed by Harper Gault, editor
of the JHerald, and an alumnus of
Clemson, a close personal friend of
McFadden, drove to the scene of the
accident and recovered 'some personal
effects belonging to the Injured man.
A football watch chain was found In
the weeds nearby and a watch highly
prised by McFadden and given him
by Kate Smith, famous radio star wbb
found by John Jenkins of thig city.
A Camden newspaper representative
found glass and parts of the
wrecked car forty or more feet from
the point where the car crashed into
the tree. " The aiito was demolished.
Investigation Indicated that McFadden's
car had come from the south
and Instead of following the left bend
In the road, had continued on a line
that carried It off the left aide of the
road at a point In front of the Wardlaw
filling station. McFadden had
evidently come out of his doze as the
car left the road and had made a
frantic effort to bring it back on to
the pavement, the wheel marks plainly
indicating this. The car sideswiped
the group of cedar trees, McFadden
being hurled through the
right front door, landing on his head
on the hard pavement. There were
several pools of blood in evidence
where he had been lying.
llnlf an hour after the accident,
wreckers from Great Falls and Camden
had reached the scene. A state
police officer was also on the Job. The
wrecked car was taken to Great
Falls.
At the^ hospital in Rock Hill It was
found McFadden had sustained severe
lacerations about the head, face,
shoulders and legs. He recovered
consciousness and complained of a
pain In his neck. Whether any bones
have been "broken or internal Injuries
sustained will be determined after an
X-Ilay has been taken.
It was stated by members of the
injured man's family at Great Fallls
that he was on his way from Bennettsville
to Great Falls and had
planned on driving on to Celmson
Sunday.
Condition Improves
The condtion of McFadden continues
favorable It was s&id at St.
Phillip's hospital, Rock Hill, where
the former Clemson Ail-American
football and basketball star was taken
after he was painfully injured In
an automobile accident in Liberty Hill
Sunday.
McFadden'* hurts, consisting of extensive
lacerations about the head,
both arms, and left leg were believed
by physicians to be more painful than
serious. X-ray pictures this afternoon
showed no fractures or dislocations
in his neck and head. He had
been suffering considerable pain in
his throat aird his neck was swollen,
brought about possibly by bruises sustained
in the wreck.

HOW TO MAKE EVERY CAR '
DRIVER LOVE YOU 1
?If the car in front of you chokes '
down at a stop-light, blow your horn 1
16 short, toots and 18 long toots. If
he doesn't get out of you way, in say
?3 seconds, dart around him and tear
his fender off.
?Always drive over the crest of a ,
hill as fast as your car will run. You i
might have a head on collision with 1
some other fool who is doing the J
same thing. Just think how nice it ,
would be to have somebody 'go to <
Glory with you. 1
?If you see a man or a woman try- !
ing to get into the only parking place
in town, if they are a little bit slow
and careful, scoot in ahead of him or
her and leave your car and walk Off
nonchalantly, Just like you didn't
know that they were entitled to the
space you grabbed.
?By~Btt^means... . strike matches on ]
the other fellow's fenders, and put '
your big foot on his running board
so's enough dirt and mud will be left
there to keep him from shutting his '
door without springing the hinges. If '
you are riding with him, shake your [
cigarette ashes out the window so's J
they will get in the eyes of persons in (
the back seat or on the street corners. 1
I
?Dpuble park your car while you 1
go into ttie store for a minute: the '
autoist whom you have kept from 1
backing out his car and driving home 1
wont mind if he is hemmed in for 30 1
or 40 minutes. You see, it's the other *
fellow's worries, not yours. And 3
furthermore, he might like his meals 3
cold Instead of hot. One never knows
unless he is the person inconvenlenc* (

essentials.... always drive up and j
park behind 2 or 3 cars and take all <
the time you want to deliver a little 1
3-lb. package or a small crate of some j
thing to a customer. Don't letre ]
enough room for a car to pass you
while you are delivering stuff: yoo J
