Physician and Nurse Called by Telephone
to Toddville Last Wednesday
? First Reported Man Was Killed,
But Two Men Only Injured.
News spread about the st'-eets here
last Wednesday evening that a touring
car had turned over while crossing
the bridge across Halfway Creek,
near Toddvilie, falling off the bridge,
killing one man and injuring several
others. This created considerable excitement
which lasted for some time
until a message over the phone stated
that it was a mistake about the killing.
Several parties left Conway in
cars and went to the scene of the accident
to learn the particulars. Dr.
11. H. Burroughs was called over the
phone and he left town for the place
with a nurse.
The facts were as follows: Joseph |
A. iJlftok, of Charleston, ?S. C., engaged
in tho organ and piano business,
ami Marshal BWdgman of Dillon were |
on their way in a Ford ear from |
Georgetown coming to Conway.
When tho car was passing over the
long bridge across Halfway Swamp,
n car Toddville, the car suddenly
struck a railing of the bridge, broke
out or pushed over a section of this,
and plunged over the edge into the
swamp, turning completely over as it
went. The two occupants were under
the car as it went down, but the car
came in contact with a dead cypress
log before it struck the ground, so
that the rear end was supported and
kept the two men from being mashed
to death. How long the two men remained
there, perhaps unconscious,
nobody seems to know, not even
tne men themselves. They managed
to scramble out from under the car
and it is said one of them went to a
house nearby. Later he did not remember
going to the house. The accident
was discovered and resulted in
the telephone message calling a physician.
The bridge at the place where
the car went over is said to be about
fifteen feet from the ground; Nobody
knows the speed at which the
car was being driven, and nosatisfactory
explanation of the cause of the
accident has so far been made.
When some of the parties from Con
way arrived at the place, they asked
; Mr. Black how it happened. Both
men seemed in a pitable condition,
having been struck on the head, and
various narts of the hodv. and t.hev
were torn and bleeding. At times
they did not act as if they had their
right minds. Anyway Mr. Black undertook
to show or explain how it
happened, stating that the car ran its
wheel against a small block of wood
lying on the bridge and this caused
the car to run off against the railing.
He looked along the bridge for the
block as he explained, but there was
no block to be found either on or off
the bridge. While he was doing this
bystanders had to look out to keep
him frorj falling off the Divtge. He
had been struck on the head and deprived
of his senses, at least temporarily.
The two men were finally brought
to Conway to one of the hotels where
they received the best aid possible.
i seen oh Thursday morning they
^npe' ed dazed. Mr. Black seemed
to have sustained more serious injuries
than the other, though the other
for some time could not walk. The
news of the accident spread in many
directions and many people went to
the place of the accident and looked
at the car as it lay up-turned in the
bottom of the swamp, its ends support
ed as before stated by the lop. It
was easy to see that the car was practically
ruined. Twisted and broken
in a hundred places was the way it
appeared. Arrangements were made
however, to have it taken, up, and it
will be possible to repair it and use
it again.
Joseph A. Black is well known on
account of his having been here a
good deal during the last few years
engaged in the sale of organs and
pianos. He conducted the business
through agent at various points in
this section of the State and he went

Evan Norton, M. I)., passed away
from this life at his residence in this
town, just before the hour of 4 o'clock
on Tuesday morning July 21st, 19 M.
Doctor Norton had been ling*
ering from a fatal ill n e s s
from which he suffered the first attack
in the Spring of this year. The
best physicians in this State were consulted
about his condition which grew
worse from time to time, and for several
days before his death, the end
had appeared to be near. He is survived
by two daughters, Mrs. Daisy
Crouch, of Saluda, S. C., and Miss
Mabel Norton, of Conway, and his
three sons, Dr. J. A. Norton, and J. O,
Norton, Esq., of Conway, and J. Clarence
Norton, of Memphis, Tenn. His
wife preceded him to the grave by
several years.
Horry County never sustained a
more distinct loss by the death of a
man. His death occurred in the seventy-third
year of his age. For near!
ly half a century Evan Norton was
; identified with nearly everything re
luting* to Horry County and her pcoI
pie, that could be said to tend toward
i the up-building, growth and prosper.
ity of the people spiritually and intel
ectually. He was a good man in every
sense of the word. When he was
editor of this paper, which he established
and edited for many years following
188G, his motto as printed on
the title page was: "Be true to youi
word, and your work and your country."
He lived up to this. As a physician
he gained the confidence of every
person he treated. They had faith
in his ability. They believed what he
said. His name became a household
word through every part of Horry
County. As editor of the county paper,
trustee of the school, as a public
servant, and in every waljjf of life he
distinguished himself as a servant ol
the people and he found no greater
pleasure in life than this. He was indeed
true to his word and his work
and his country. When he died last
Tuesday morning the whole people
felt the blow. Evan Norton made his
mark among them as a kind fathei
would among his children. Everybody
knew him and knew him through his
work. As the readers of this papei
see these lines there can hardly be a
single one who will not feel theii
hearts sadden.
Evan Norton was born on September
Oth, A. I). 1841, near Mullitis ir
Marion CountyT. As a young man he
served the four years in the War be
twcon the States. In the year 18(tf
he graduated in medicine at the
Washington University, now knowr
as the College of Physicians and Surgeons,
of Baltimore, Md. Tie taughl
school in Floyds township in thif
County in the year 1870, and the following
year he located at Conway ir

profession at Conway, he also bei

I and for a long number of years he
was the owner of the only drug store
in the county. Though he performed
other arduous duties as this short and
incomplete sketch of his life shows,
his practice as a physician and the
business of supplying drugs to the
. other members of the profession was

r never neglected. After severing his
connection with the newspaper about
1896, he devoted himself more than
ever to his profession and the drug
business, and he paid close attention
to these until his health failed last
Spring. He took an active part in j
planning and making* roadv for ihn i
