Younq Montie Curry Terribly Man
gled in Machinery at Brickyard.
Probably the most shocking acci
dent that has ever occured in this city
occurred yesterday about 10.30 A. M.,
with Montie Curry, a youn°r son of
Mr. J. H. Curry, as a victim. As this
is written his condition cannot be de
termined. although it is thought to be
decidedly grave.
The facts as learned bv a Ledger
reporter who arrived at the brick
yard of Mr. Curry a short while after
the accident occurred, are about as
follows:
It seems that Montie was w'orking
at the drum used for pulling up cars
of dirt from the pit. It was his duty
to manipulate the lever of the ma
chine that pulled un the cars of clay.
He was to do this when the signal—
the ringing of a hell—was given.
While waiting for the signal he had
apparently gone over to the other
side from his lever, near a swiftly
revolving shaft, and w,as playing with
a small piece of old worn out belting,
which he had wrapped around the
shaft, supposedly to see what effect
it would have or to await for it to get
too hot to hold.* Strav strings from
the belting finally caught the shaft,
and in turn caught the boy. At every
revolution of the shaft the liodv not
only struck the ground but struck a
large id* ce of timber which was near.
His clothes were torn entirely from
his body and when the frightened
hands reached him he was absolutely
without a stitch of clothing, even his
shoes being torn from his feet. One
run;, the right one, was torn from the
body at the wrist and was found
some distance away. The same arm
was broken above the elbow. Both
legs were broken above the knee and
it is feared that internal, injuries ex
ist. Physicians were hurriedly sum
moned and Mr. J H. Curry, the brick
contractor and father of the hoy. was
soon on the spot. The unfortunate
lad was carried to his home, a short
distance away, and preparations were
made fop an operation. The opera
tion is in progress at this writing.
The escape of the hoy from instant
death is marvelous. Small scraps of
clothing and buttons can be seen
strewn around the ground where the
accident occurred. The constiution
of the hoy is excellent and will he of
great assistance at this time of need.
He was conscious when the physi
cians arrived on the spot, and con
versed with them as to his injuries.
A Good Showing.
At a directors’ meeting of the Globe
Manufacturing company Wednesday
afternoon a semi-annual dividend of
three and one half per cent, was de
clared and ordered to he paid the
stockholders on September 1st.
This mill was organized the latter
part of 1905, began business about
January 1st, 1906. Mr. Wm. Webster
is the president, and treasurer and
general manager, and the shywing
thus made is the best within the
knowledge of the writer.
Mr. W. O. Lipscomb, formerly of
Gaffney but now of Roanoke, Va., is
vice-president. The directors are:
J. A. Carroll. R. M. Wilkins. W. H.
Smith. N. H. Littlejohn. W. O. Lip
scomb. H. L. Spears, R. B. Beard. W.
M. Webster. J. C. Jefferies. D. C.
Ross and J. N. Lipscomb.
A n Even Break.
Wednesday the Spartanburg juve
nile baseball team and the Gaffney
juvenile team met at Jefferies’ park
and played two games, one in the
morning and one in the .afternoon.
Th-' first game resulted in a score of
11 to 10 in favor of the Spartans,
while the second game went to Gaff-
nev by the score of 11 to 4.
The young gentlemen from Spar
tanburg conducted themselves in a
becoming manner, both on and off the
grounds. The/ are small boys, in
fact were rather light for the Gaff
ney team, but they played excellent
Lai! for youngsters. The Gaffne- boys
also played good ball. Rector and
Stokes were the battery for Spar
tanburg for both games, while Dixon
and Gaffney were the baterv for the
Gaffney team for the morning game,
and Thackston ami Gaffney for the
atfernoon game. One of the best
players on the Spartanburg team was
little Tommy Calvert, the short-stop.
Our little friend Sheftall also played
- pretty game for the visitors.

A BIG DAY.
The Colored People Dedicate New
School Building.
The laving of the corner stone of
the Cherokee Normal and Industrial
Institute took place Tuesday. At the
same time the building was dedicat
ed. This is a Baptist school for color
ed children. The idea originated with
the Thickety Mountain Association
about a year ago and by persistent
work and perserverance and assists
ance from the white people of this
county who are friendly to all well
behaved and industrious colored peo
ple. they have erected the building
and are now ready to open their
school.
The occasion was a great day for
the colored people of this section.
The building is located in the section
of town know as Mechanicsville. It is
i substantial two-story w r ooden struc
ture, well appointed for the purposes
for which it was designed.'
Rev. E. L. Beaty, pastor of the
Limestone Baptist church, was mas
ter of ceremonies. The program was
appropriate to the occasion, the prin
cipai features being addesses by Prof.
Simms, of Columbia, and Rev. Cash,
of Savannah. Ga. Then came the lay
ing of the corner stone by Piedmont
Lodge, No. 87, F. A. M., of Gaffney.
The usual custom is for the Grand
Master to lay' the corner stone, but
by warrant Rev. D, S. Collier and the
local lodge, assisted by the Rev. J.
C. Coin, of Spartanburg, acting dupi-
tv grand master, performed the servi
ces on this occasion. The building
was then dedicated by the local Odd
Fellows lodge in an imposing and ap
propriate manner.
It is estimated that there were
about two thousand people oresent,
and the order was perfect. During
the dav a barbecue was served and
other refreshments sold.
Raymond Brohawn Married.
An announcement that will be of
Interest to many Gaffnev people was
that in an issue of the Baltimore
American of the first of the week of
flip marriage of Mr. J. Raymond Bro
hawn and Miss Grace Keisecome, of
Baltimore. Md., at Highland Falls,
N .Y„ on October 20th, 1905.
This affair savors of the romantic,
a it has been kept a secret from that
time until the announcement in the
American made it known.
Raymond Brohawn is well remem
bered in Gaffney, having gone to
school here several years ago. and for
quite a while was an employee of The
Ledger. He is a nephew of Mrs. J. F.
Garrett. Mrs. Floyd L. Baker and Miss
Gus Brohawn. of our city. Miss Keise-
come is a lovable young lady of Bal
timore and Mr. Brohawn may well be
congratulated on his conquest.
The Ledger wishes the happy
couple a pleasant and successful
married life.

Nearly every one likes a fine

make the hair more manage
