Special to The State.

Camden, Oct. 24. – Wilbur Williams, 23, a salesman for J. A. Bridges & Co. at Heath Springs, and Misses Susie Bridges and Julia Bridges, also of Heath Springs, were brought to the Camden hospital this morning, suffering from hurts received in a head on collision near Blaney about 11 o’clock. The Heath Springs car was going towards Columbia and it is said to have been struck by a car driven by L. W. (“Buck”) Boykin, Jr., of near Boykin, who was returning from Columbia. Mr. Williams suffered a gash in the head and severe shock, but he is not thought to be dangerously injured. The two young women suffered cuts and bruises but neither is badly hurt. The occupants of the Boykin car were unhurt. The coupe belonging to the Heath Springs party was badly torn up.

Frank Hampton, Jr., of Lykesland suffered a broken tooth and a cut through the lower lip, and L. W. Boykin, Jr., of Boykin sustained two sprained ankles and cuts about the leg when the car in which they were driving was struck by a small coupe near Blaney, yesterday afternoon their car being overturned into a ditch.

Mr.hampton said yesterday that he and Mr. Boykin were on their way to Camden, when a long line of automobiles was met near Blaney. As Mr. Boykin’s car was abreast of the line of cars going in the opposite direction, a small coupe came from behind the string of automobiles at a high rate of speed, in an attempt to pass according to Mr. Hampton. Mr. Boykin pulled as far as possible to the right to the edge of a deep ditch and applied the brakes. Mr. Hampton said, while the driver of the other car seemed to lose his head and to make no effort to stop crashing into Mr. Boykin’s car and hurling it into the ditch.
