BIshopville, May 27.?The usual quiet of 'the country Sabbath was broken here today an:l the whole community shocked when it be? came known that In an automobile accident which had befallen the car of James Edward McCutchen, Sr., his most estimable wife had lost her life and Mr. McCutchen himself and his only daughter, Minnie, had sus? tained injuries and shock which it Is feared may prove fatal to both, espe? cially to Mr. McCutchen, who is nearly 70 years of age. The accident happened while the family was returning from services at old Mount ?ion church. Making a sharp turn in the road, the front wheels ran into a hole. This caused the car to turn turtle and the shock was so great that Mrs. McCutchen died almost instantly. Mr. McCutch? en is suffering from .shock and it is feared that Miss Minnie McCutchen, who was driving and was pinned un? der the motor, is suffering from inter? nal injuries which may prove fatal. Injured Will Probably Recover. Wisacky, May 28.?The shock that the people of this community sustain? ed yesterday afternoon by the death of Mrs. James Edward McCutchen and the serious Injury of Mr. McCutchen and Miss Minnie McCf.tchen in an au? tomobile, was in some measure les? sened and the sorrow that is uni versally felt waR mitigated this mom ing by the encouraging; report* that the Injuries of Mr. McCutchen and hla daughter were not as serious as at first feared and that they both will probably recover. They are painfully, probably seriously, but not fatally In? jured. The funeral services for Mrs. Mc? Cutchen will be held at Bishopvtlle this afternoon at 4.30 o'clock. The Confederate Veterans of Sum ter county will be entertained at the annual dinner to them given k^ Dick Anderson Chapter, U. D. C, on the Court House grounds, at one o'clock Friday, June 1st. The Daughters are hoping that a large number of vet? erans will be present on this occa? sion. Reports have reached this news? paper that some mistaken and foolish self-appointed leaders are advising young negroes, who are liable to mili? tary service, not to register on June 5th. This is the worst advice that they could give, for the federal au? thorities are determined that no man, white or black, between 21 and 31 years old shall escape registration, and those who fail to register will be apprehended and punished. Those who obstruct and advise against reg? istration will be punished even more severely than those who do not reg? ister. Comparatively few of the whole number that register will be called into service, but the United States government reserves to itself the right to say who shall be exempt and who shall serve in the army. The government is in no humor for fool? ishness, and no man, white or black, can safely undertake to interfere with the registration ordered on June 5th.
