| Fatal Accident |
| A negro lad, aged about fourteen, whose
name nor owner we did not learn, was run over yesterday by the cars on
the South Carolina Railroad, while sleeping on the track, near the 97
mile post. One of his legs and one of his arms were cut off, and his
body was otherwise mutilated; but he was yet alive, without any hopes of
surviving however, when the cars moved off. |
