MAN AND WIFE INJURED. \ ___ I \ Mrs. C. P. Wraay's Collar Bone Broken, But Two Children Escape, j Camden, Dec. 30.?Last night! about 9 o'clock, as Mr. and Mrs. C.! ^ P. Wray, of Ridgeway, were en route; . ?to Sumter to visit relatives, they met m with a serious accident when their; ' touring car left an embankment' about four miles below Camden on ' the Sumter road, near Mulberry, the: winter home of Mr. D. R. Williams. | Mrs. Wray suffered a fractured col-; lar bone; Mr. Wray was cut and bruised about his hands. The two; % ^ children with them were not hurt.! * j Dr. CorbetC was summoned and hur.-l Tied to the scene, where, in thej " 1 a meantime, Mrs. wray nau uccu wcn-j y, ried to the home of Mr. Williams, | where she was cared for until this I morning, when she was removed to! i 1 ' the Camden hospital, where she will; * have to remain several days, it is I expected. That all in the car were not seri^ ously injured or killed is considered miraculous. As the car left the embankment it turned completely over, and the occupants were evidently / throvm out as it was leaving the narrow causeway. One wheel was snapped off at the axle, and the car is practically a wreck. II KILLED BY ELEVATOR.

The young man had many friends among the boys and girls of Sumter to whom the news came as a blow. Surviving are his Hm parents, two sisters, Mrs. T. D. Rav enel, Jr., Miss Clara Childs, and one brother, Master William Childs. p - / STATE SATS GOODBYE. Seven Other States Entered the Prohibition Banks. Columbia, Dec. 31.?"Good-bye, booze, we're through," sang South Carolinians tonight as the sun went down and the dispensaries closed up forever. The remnant of the G. M. j I. departed this life officially at 5:25 o'clock this afternoon and South CarI rUino tr?r*lr lior nlnoo in thp ranks of the prohibition States. There were 110 tears and no obsequies at the end. The knowledge was State-wide that the dispensaries would be no more after tonight and the ending had been discounted. With some stock left 011 hand in Richland and Charleston and possibly a few^ other counties there can be nothing done with it unless the general assembly directs some disposition to be made. The stock on hand will be locked in central warehouses and left until further directions are given by the law-making powers. It is estimated by L. L. Bultman, State dispensary auditor, that at least $125,000 worth of liquor will * _1 1 De on nana wnen tut? uispeii?cn ica close this afternoon. This surplus has placed the State authorities in a quandary, as the bill providing for the referendum election did not provide for the disposal of any stock that might be left over, and the position of every official and subordinate of the system automatically ceases tonight. This raises a doubt as to the ownership of the remaining stock and what disposition can be made of it as it cannot legally be sold in South Carolina. The matter will either have to be adjusted by the legislature or the courts, it is said. Bamberg and Williamsburg counties are the only ones that have completely disposed of their stocks. It is estimated that the Columbia dispensaries will have a $30,000 surplus stock and Charleston $50,000 worth of whiskey on hand. Governor Manning states that the prohibition law will be enforced to the^ letter. Representative Liles, of Orfln^ehnrar. at the next session of the legislature will introduce a bill making the penalty for conviction of the illicit selling of liquor a straight chain gang sentence without the alternative of a fine. First Experience. Arkansas will have its first experience with prohibition when the | State-wide law passed by the last legislature goes into effect. The Arkansas department of the Anti-Saloon league has announced that .the league will have workers in fhe field to see that the law is enforced. Anti-prohibition leaders have announced that no fight will be made for the repeal of the law at least until prohibition has been given a thorough trial. In Iowa "bargain day" sales in the 502 saloons of the State are in prog- j ress today preparatory to the final closing tonight. Under .the Mulot act, passed by the last legislature, statutory prohibition is restored. pending the action of the next legislature and the people on the proposed constitutional amendment for prohibition, which is to be disposeo. of within the hext two years. SENDS A BULLET INTO HEART. Well-knbwn Citizen of Lancaster Meets Death by His Own Hands. Lancaster, January 4.?John Crawford, one of Lancaster's most prominent citizens, committed suicide here this morning at his home in the northern part of town by shooting himself through the heart. He had been in poor health for several months and it is .thought that tfie worry and anxiety on account of his condition temporarily unbalanced his mind and caused him to take his life. He was held in high esteem and admired by a host of-warm friends not rmlv in T anr>astp>r his native town. but throughout the county and in other parts of the State where he had i visited and was well known. He was the only son of the late Dr. M. P. Crawford and was about 36 years of age. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Lola Heath, of Charlotte, and two children, Martin Crawford, and an infant daughter, Lola Crawford; his mother, Mrs. M. P, Crawford, and one sister, Mrs. John H. Poag, of this place; and his uncle, Dr. M. L. Crawford. Mr. Crawford, though of a quiet, unassuming manner, was a public spirited citizen and took a keen interest in all that pertained to his country's welfare. He was a member and a leading officer in the Presbyterian church here at the time of his death. Mr. Crawford's tragic ending of his life has cast a gloom over this community, and the news of his death will no doubt be heard with sorrow everywhere. The Advantage. "But,*' said the young mosquito, "is not man much stronger than we?" "He is," replied the fond parent, "but we may venture to attack him on account of our superior mobility." I " , HELD OX ASSAULT CHARGE. SB Parents of Child Say l^et Law Take'lj Its Course. ^ York, January 1.?Odessa Good, a|B negro youth, 16 years old. is in the I county jail here charged with at- I tempted criminal assault upon a 6- I year-old white girl, the daughter of I a prominent farmer living in Bethel | township, about ten miles north of B this place. The crime was committed E on the premises of the girl's father B Wednesday afternoon, but was not E discovered until Thursday. The ne- E gro, who lives on the same farm with B his brother-in-law, was arrested E Thursday afternoon by Constable B Horace Johnson and brought to jaiL B here. I The youth of the negro is said to B .have saved him from being burned by outraged citizens of the Bethel community immediately a:ter the crime was discovered. The desire of the little child's parents to let the law take its course prevented a lynching anyway. Xo further trouble is expected, although there is much indignation throughout this entire section over the affair. The child was given prompt medical attention as soon as her condition was discovered, and attending physicians sav she will recover entirely.. K It is understood that the negro has R confessed his crime. He appeared sul- I len and mean when questioned, and B appeared not to appreciate the serious R position he is in. He is a grandson of Giles Good, who with four negroes, H Prindley Thomson, Bailey Dowdie, H Dan Roberts and Mose Lipscomb, I were lynched on the outskirts of this R town, April 5, 1887, for the murder R of a white boy in Bullock's Creek township. B "I am not expecting trouble over H this affair," said Sheriff Hugh G. Brown this morning. "The parents of the outraged child have expressed their wish that the law.be allowed to take its course, and I believe the good citizens of York county will respect that wish." ???? CARD OF THANKS.
