Warrow Escape in Washington
Wednesday night of last week Mr.
and Mrs. W. E. Lott and their two
little daughters who were attending
the Southern Baptist conve.ntion in
Washington came near being asphyx
iated. They retired at their hotel
about 8:30 o'clock and one of the lit
tle girls called Mr. Lott about 3:30
o'clock and complained of being sick.
Mv. Lott responded to the call at
once and found that gas was escap
ing from the gas jet. One of the lit
tle girls turned off the gas on retir
ing but evidently did not cut it off
entirely. Mr. and Mrs. Lott and both
of the little" girls suffered somewhat
from the effects of the gas but were
able to attend the sessions of the con
vention the next day. Had not the
little girl been aroused from her
sleep, doubtless all> of them in the
roora would have been asphyxiated, j
Their friends in Edgefield are de
lighted that they sustained no serious
injury.
^Better come and get some of the
-great bargains before they are all
.gone. I am closing out below actual
: cost the goods I saved from the fire.
