TWO BOYS HAVE NARROW ESCAl'E Clyde White and (?erald Allen Carried Oyer the I)am. A dual tragedy was narrowly avert ed In this city Friday afternoon about 3 o'clock when Clyde White, the 14 year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. 11. White, and Gerald Allen, the 13-year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Ivey Allen. came ne^r being drowned in Tar Riv er. Friday afternoon was clear and balmy, after a rainy and most disa greeable day. So these young boys, without the knowledge of their par ents, could not resist the charms and ^thrills of a Joy ride <?n the pond Just above the old mill In thla city. The river was swollen somewhat from the previous day's rains. They found a boat tied just above the dam. When they unloosed it they found thai they were caught in an lrresistable current that within a few second* swept them over the dam Into th* swirling whirlpool and rocks ten feet below. Of course the boat was cap sized and the boys were thrown on their own resources. Clyde White is an expert swimmer and could easily have saved himself, but Gerald Allen could swim but very .little. So in his effort to save his friend both would have been drowned within a few mo? ments had not help arrived. Fortunately two young ladies hap pened to be crossing the new bridge, which is about 200 yards below the dam, and saw the boat when it went over the dam. They gave the alarm and within a few seconds a crowd had gathered on the bank of the river. Tom Green, a negro, was the first to reach the boys. In a moment Jam es Massenburg, who five years agowas bereft of his right arm by an acciden* tal gun shot, plunged into the stream and rescued young Allen, with the as sistance of W. J. Cooper, who had gotten to-, them by this time. Both boys were soon rescued, though in an unconscious condition. Two doctors were close at hand and rendered in valuable aid. As soon as possible the young fellows were carried to their homes^ They are up and out again this morning. But the only thing that saved them was their close prox imityto help when the accident occur red. New Firm For Loulsburg. Mr. Harry G.
