The truck was loaded with sand and weighed about two ton*. He was rushed immediately to the University hospital in Augusta where his condition was said to be serious. The accident occurred about 2 o’clock. Hurt in Auto Accident Cotton acreage reduction seems to be a 8 difficult of accomplishment as ——* does crime reduction.
