Boyce LEE of this city was painfully injured at his plantation near Landrum yesterday while inspecting some work in progress there. Mr. LEE was standing on a small embankment along which a temporary dirt car track had been built. A tree was being felled nearby and just as he tree began to topple someone called to Mr. LEE to look out. Mr. LEE thought the dirt cart was coming down upon him and accordingly jumped from the embankment. As he struck the ground his foot hit a large piece of timber causing him to fall heavily upon his right leg. While Mr. LEE's injuries are quite painful they are not of a very serious nature as no bones were broken. The injured man was brought to the city last night and taken to his home. He was attended by Dr. ALLEN. free post Lisa
