George Whitefield Injured Playing with Dynamite Cap, Nov. 10, 1926

Painful Accident

George Whitefield, little son of our esteemed friend J. F. Whitefield of Hurdle Mills, N.C., met with a very painful accident a few days ago. The little fellow, in company with another little boy, undertook to use a dynamite cap for a play toy, resulting in a terrific explosion inflicting a very painful wound on one of his legs, which required an X-ray after which the piece of metal was successfully removed and the little boy is improving rapidly.
