Three negro laborers engaged on the Calloway building, which is being erected adjacent to The News building on South Church Street, were injured at 11 o’clock Tuesday morning when a scaffolding on which they were working fell a distance of 20 feet, the negroes being Eugene Ingram and Charlie Streeter, brick layers, and Otho Pennington, laborer. Pennington was the most seriously wounded. He was taken to the Good Samaritan Hospital. The other two were badly bruised, but suffered no serious injuries. They are employed by the Southeastern Construction Company, which has the contract for erecting this three-story building.
