AN EXCITING RUNAWAY.
The Team Dashes Up Spivag Street
With a Small Boy Hanging to the
Tongue The Wagon Ran Oyer Him
4.
But He Came Out Unhurt.
An exciting runaway occurred
Monday afternoon about 5 ,
o'clock when a team went dash- j
ingup Spring streetwith a small
boy, Ransom Upchurch, son of
Mr. Geo. R Upchurch, hanging
on the wagon tongue" while the
driver, Mr. J no. 5lalocJ, was.
making every effort to. stop the
team. ' '
Mr. Blalock had on his wagon
several bales of cotton and when
he went to turn into Spring
street from Depot street the
bales slipped to the front of- the
wagon getting against the mules.
When the bales slipped forward
the little boy was thrown out
upon the tongue and the driver;
landed on the ground. As the
team in full speed went along
the street the little fellow, was
holding to the tongue. But his
hold gave way and he fell to the
ground but fortunately the wag
on went over - him and he came

After they neared the Baptist
church the team was stopped and
scarcely any damage was done.

of the institution. This does not
include the local patronage and
those who board in town. Of
this number of boarders South
Carolina furnishes 16 and Georgia
5. All of the rooms are occupied
although a few more students
-may be accomodated in rooms
which have not , their full, num
ber of occupants. The total en
rollment will appear smaller than
usual this year . as; the institution
has discontinued: the primary
department which usually added
20 or 36 to the" roll.
A fine body of students is rep
resented, nearly all of whom are,
in the Seminary classes.
An informal reception was
tendered the new students by the
faculty on Saturday night.
Music, elocution and refresh
ments delighted the new-comers,
and the k'nd and familiar winter
course of teachers and old stu
dents forcibly told the new ones
that they were in a school with
home environments and that they
were welcome.
He Was Only , the Deliverer;
A negro was before , Mayor
Mens Monday for acting' as a
deliverer for a white man. The
negro went out into tne country
and secured whiskey for the
man. Nothing could be obtained
as to who sold him the whiskey.
The negro was fined a penny and
the cost. ... -:
