Thurs., Oct. 20, 1859  North Carolina Argus October 20, 1859
 -- We learn that on Tuesday, the 12th inst., a little son of MR. JAMES 
PHILLIPS, living about eight miles south of Wadesboro, suddenly died and in a 
curious manner. He was about six years old and had been playing with a 
companion about the same age and tumbling about a pile of cotton. LITTLE 
PHILLIPS hollowed a place for his head, intending to turn a somersault. He 
turned, and as his little companion expressed, he went so fast asleep he 
couldn't wake him. He had dislocated his neck. Oh, how careful parents should 
be in guarding their children and keeping them from indulging in this 
dangerous pastime.
