Canton, July 19—Charles Haroldson of Darlington, S.C., was almost instantly killed early this afternoon when he attempted to open a switch at the top of a pole carrying a 4,400-volt wire and a few seconds later fell from the pole, striking his head on the pavement.
He is the fifth brother to be killed by electricity and is the third victim of the high voltage wires since the Phoenix Public Utilities Company has been engaged in installations in Asheville and vicinity during the last few months.
