The other members of the party es caped serious injury, although they suffered painful bruises. The car was almost completely wrecked.

The recent extremely dry weather has made the roads very treacherous in places, and while run ning at a rapid rate of speed the ma chine struck a soft sandy spot in the road and evidently began to skid. It became unmanageable and before Mr. Moore could regain control, the car turned over. * _ * Messrs. Owens, Wooley snd Bolen, the occupants of the rear seat were thrown clea£ of the car. It is thought, however, that Mr. Moore, who was driving, and Mr. Simms, the other oc cupant of the front seat, were in the far when it turned over the first time They were found lying in the middle of the road, while the automobile was 16 or 20 feet further off, having evi dently turned over several times. All of the young men were rendered unconscious. The drivers of passing automobiles gave first aid and the injured men were brought hurriedly . to Barnwell and placed under the the care of physicians. It was realised from the beginning that Mr. Moore had a very slim chance to recover and Mr. Simms also appeared to be in a critical condition. General Moore, who was immediate ly notified of the accident, got in touch with the Southern Railway and a special train carried Messrs. Moore and Simms to a Columbia hospital, the run from Barnwell being made in about an hour and a half. On reach ing the hospital an X-ray examination disclosed that Mr. Moore had suffered a fracture at the base of the skull. An operation was performed in the hope of staying.thfe hand of death, but was unsuccessful, and the injured man died a short while before daylight. Mr. Simms was found to be suffer- ( !, ing from a bruised shoulder and arm responded favorably to medical >flintion.
