Simpsonville there occurred an error when it was stated that the child was run over and killed. The child started to cross the street and the driver. swerved to the right, missing the child :wIth the front wheel. The child did not stop, .but came on, running into the car at the left rear wheel. It was rushed to the City los pital at Greenville, where it died sonic time .\Monday night. The occupants of the car were M\r. Culver Sumiieel, as driver, Mir. and .\rs. .J.
