Death of Mr. B. B. Thompson. Sunday about 5 o'clock Mr. B. B. Thompson died of heart failure in Smith's pond. He waded in the water a considerable distance before he began to swim, stepping off suddenly in i.eep water. After going down he never rose again. Several persons who were swimming near him at the time went to his rescue but when his body was recovered just a few min utes af ter it disappeared he was dead. It is though that he died of heart failure, rather than drowning, as no water was found in his lungs. His sudden death was quite a shock to all present and especially to his wife and several children who were near him as he waded in the water. In fact, his wife and others urged him to keep out of the pond but he would not heed their warnings. Mr. Thompson came to Edgefield several yeras ago and has 'been for some time employed as machinist by the Edgefield Lumber Company. His body was carried to Shelby, N. C., Monday night for interment.
