Limb Had to be Re-set.
Mr. Roy Payne, whose right leg
was badly fractured in a runaway
accident near Andrews some time ago,
and has since been unable to get
about without the aid of crutches, is
in the hospital here after having undergone
an operation performed by
Dr. Kelley Tuesday afternoon. The
plaster cast was taken off the limb
and an ex-ray photograph made of
the fracture. It was disclosed by the
ex-ray photograph that the fractured
bones were not together properly and
had failed to adhere. It was necessary,
therefore, to make an incicsion
and re-set the broken bones.
Mr. Payne has already been confined
to his room for about two
months, part of this time he was at
Andrews where he was taken immediately
after the accident which caused
his trouble. He was brought to
his home here about four weeks ago.
His many friends deeply sympathize
with him in this misfortune,

Negro Hit by Freight Train.
An unidentified negro matt, apparently
about 21 years of age was struck
by a through freight on the Atlantic
Coast Line about two miles north of
Cades Monday afternoon and was
brought here for medical treatment.
It is supposed that the man was
beating a ride and fell asleep. A
brakeman saw the man's hat fly from
the train and a second later the man
himself was thrown into the ditch
beside the track. The conductor had
the train stopped and the negro taken
on board. He was brougst to Cades,
but a doctor could not be secured,
and the injured man was brought
on to this place where Drs. Kelley
and Hemingway took charge of him.
The man's head was badly cut and
bruised and his condition when taken
from the box car here was considered
precarious. He is still alive and is
said to be regaining consciousness.

in Florence Sunday.
To her many friends, the news of
the death of Mrs. George Stackley,

and unexpectedly.

of age. She was born in Kingstree
in 1870, and was the daughter of Dr.
Samuel F. and Alice Lesesne Pendergrass.
In 1887 she was married to Mr. i
George Stackley of Florence, where
came to make her home and has
ved here since that time. She has
^en a most faithful and devoted
ffnember of the Episcopal church, and
always aided liberally in any cause
that she felt was just.
One could not know her but a short
time to be impressed with her generous
and charitable nature. She was
loved and esteemed by scores of i
friends, and among many of the colored
people she was greatly loved.
She was a most devoted wife and
mother?"Her children rise up an<
call her blessed." Mrs. Stackley i
survived by her husband, two broth
ers, Mr. E. J. and Mr. W. R. Pender
grass of Florence, one sister, Mrs
W. A. Duncan of Richmond, Va., an<
the following children: Mrs. E. W
