Johnston, SC, May 5-The ninth grade school picnic held at Salter's pond was 
suddenly broken up by the serious accident sustained by young Oscar Black in 
the breaking of his leg.  While running down a steep embankment a drop at the 
foot of five feet caused the weight of his body to fall on one leg, breaking 
both bones near the ankle and making an ugly flesh wound from which hemorrhages 
ensued.  He was rushed to the University Hospital, Augusta, where he is doing 
well at this writing.
