The Georgia Enterprise May 28, 1891
A NARROW ESCAPE
     On Friday morning, near noon, a two horse team belonging to Mr. JOHN CAMP 
ran away on the public square here and broke the wagon to pieces in front of 
the post office, throwing a twelve year old white boy, by the name of WILLIE 
MCWHARTERS, beneath the wheels, hurting him quite severely. For a time it was 
thought the boy was dead, and great excitement prevailed. Dr. J. C. ANDERSON 
and Dr. A. C. PERRY came to his assistance and after dressing the wounds about 
his head and arms, stated that his injuries were not fatal. Mr. R. H. THOMPSON 
furnished a bed for the little fellow and did all in his power to relieve his 
suffering. He swung to the coupling pole for a distance of 200 yards before the 
wagon was run against a tree and broken down.
