ALBERT OLIPHANT DIES FROM WRECK
Fatally Hurt in Collision With Bus Near Doulasville, Georgia
NO PLANS AS YET
Mrs Oliphant and Friends Reach Atlanta Hospital Hour After Death
------
The sad news was received in Columbia early this morning that Albert D Oliphant of Greenville, formerly of Columbia where he was graduated from the university and where he for several years was a valued member of the staff of The State, died at 10:32 last night in Crawford Long hospital, Atlanta, from injuries received in collision with a bus at Douglasville, Georgia. None of the 12 bus passengers was hurt.
First word was a message at 1:39 this morning through the Associated Press telling of the accident. A telephone message to Douglasville revealed that he had been removed to the Crawford Long hospital in Atlanta, which he reached at 7:40 pm. He was identified, it was understood, from his papers, and the family in Greenville notified. Mrs Oliphant and Doctor and Mrs Smith of Greenville went to Atlanta immediately, but reached there an hour after he passed away.
No plans have been made, Mrs Smith said over long distance early today.
Mr Oliphant, who was 45, was a native of Union. He is survived by his wife, who was Miss May Simms of Barwell (the historian); one daughter, Miss Mary Simms Oliphant of Union; his mother, Mrs R A Oliphant of Union; one brother, Alex Oliphant of Chester.
Mr Oliphant, who was an exceptionally bright an interesting writer, left the State to become assistant secretary of the State Board of Charities and Corrections. For years he had been with McGraw-Hill Publications as Southern representative with headquarters in Greenville.
South Carolinians in all parts of the state will regret greatly to hear of Albert Oliphant's death. A man of finest qualities, upright in all his dealings, and a loyal and true friend, his admirers were legion.

Mr Oliphant was returning from a trip through the Southern states and was on the highway between Birmingham and Atlanta when the accident occurred. Reports here state that he was blinded by the lights of a passing car which caused the accident. He died a few hours later after being taken to Atlanta.
