playing with dynamite
CAP IS SERIOUSLY hurt
Little Cater Dorsey had a narrow
escape from fatal injuries Wednesday
morning when a dynamite cap with
which he was playing exploded
tore off the thumb and fore finger
of his left hand and badly mangled
the rest of his hand and legs.
He found the cap while playing and
dropped a lighted match into the
mouth of it. He was leaning over it
and his left hand was between the
cap and his face which prevented the
entire loads taking effect in his
*faee. Parts of the metal cap entered
his legs very deeply. His face was
also cut with bits of the shell.
He was rushed quickly to doctor
W. S. White, who picked the metal
out of his" body and dressed his
wounds.
Cater lives with his parents out on
the farm of Mr. J. D. Fagan.

in a quavering voipe, that evacked
and broke, he ma(le his speech.
“When I attended Mercer as a
young man,” he said slowly, “I used
r,o bring baskets of flowers to the
president’s wife, whom we called
‘Ole Miss.” I hived Ole Miss and en¬
joyed bringing her the ohlfashioned
flowers. The Ole Miss that Mercer
has now is just a* fine and beautiful
j the 1 one tq it had give in these the olden flowers days, t«

Mrs, Weaver appeared deeply
touched as she went, forward a ad re
