BURNED IO DEATH M WEST ONION
MR. AND MRS. JOS. HUDSON LOST THEIR
LIVES BV FIRE LAST FRIDAV MORNING.
Last Friday morning the citizens of
Walhalla nore shooked to learn of the
burning of a residence in West Union,
about two o'clock that morning, and
that two persons, Mr. and Mrs. Jos.
Hudson, were burned to death. Tb.
building was a two-story structure, '.he
lower floor being occupied by the family
of Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Cantrell, and the
second story by the Hudsons. Mr. Can
trell succeeded in getting bis wife and
child ron out, but was unable to awaken
the Hudsons, and their oharrod remains
were found in the ruins.
Mr. and Mrs. Hudson wore married last I
December. Mrs. Hudson's maiden name
was Miss Rosa "cid, being a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Arob T. Reid, who reside
in Walhalla. Mr. Hudson was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Greene Hudson, of .Salem.
Both were born and reamed near Salem,
in this county. Their remains were
gathered together, placed lu the same
coffin, and laid to rest in the cometery of
Salem ohuroh on Saturday.
The sad tragedy that cost these two
young people their lives is deeply de
plored. It is the genoral belief that
while they slept they were too badly
stifled by the dense smoke to make an
effort to escapo, though tho truuk of Mr.
Hudson's body was found somo distance
from his wife's, and was near to where
the door of their room stood. Mrs. Hud
son's body fol! to the ground with hsr
bed, and when taken from tho flames was
still resting on the remains of the mat
tress.
The Aro bad its origin, it is thought, in
a dofectivo flue in the kitchen. This
being the case, tho fire must have smoul
dered for hours and then suddenly burst
in all its fury and spread with lightning
rapidity.
The theory of foul play was suggested
in some quarters, but never gained much
bold on the publio mind. Pieces of
jewelry wero found in the ruins, and Mr.
Hudson's circumstances did not permit
of his having money to a great amount in
his home. Howevor, Coroner Harbin
impanelled a jury of inquest. That body
rendered a verdict that Mr. and Mrs.
Hudson came to their doath by acciden
tal burning. .
The length of timo from tho time fire
was used in tho kitchen stove to the
breaking out of the fire was tho ground
upon which tho theory of foul play was
founded.
The bereaved relatives of Mr. and Mrs.
Hudson havo tho undivided sympathy of
the people of Oconee couuty.
Tho burned building was owned by A.
Chas. Br?cke, of Wost Union, and was
insured for $400. The house was one of
tho oldest in this section, having been
moved from Old Pickeus to West Union
in IN M by Mrs. M. M. Cary. But for the
large oaks that surrounded the building
the rosie ?O of thc late Judge Isaac
Wickliffe and Richardson's shop would
probably have beeu burned.

he served his country to the best of his
ability, both in war and peaoe.
In early life Mr. Pool was happily

How to Break Up a Cold.
It may be a surprise to many to learn
that a severe oold can be complotely
broken up in ono or two days' time. The
first symptoms of a cold aro a dry, loud
cough, a pi of uso watery discharge from
the nose, and a thiu, white coating cn
the tongue. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remody is taken every hour on the first
appearance of these symptoms, it coun
teracts the offeot of the cold and restores
the system to a healthy conditiou within
a day or two. For sale by J. W. Bell,

SAVED YOUNG LADY FROM DROWNING
ADOLPH DUNCAN RESCUES MI83 WIL
LIAMS, WITH WHOM HE WAS DRIVING.
'dolph Duncan, of Seneca, waa given
an opportunity last Sunday to prove bis
no vo, and he was equal to the occasion.
Mr. Duncan and Miss Sallie Williams,
who lives near Oakway, had driven to
Oak way, and on their return to Miss
Williams' home they decided to oross
Snow oreek at a shoal ford. The oreek
was badly swollen, the water running
swiftly, and the horse lost ita footiug and
went down, capsizing the buggy and
turning the young oouple into the water.
They were quickly drifted over tbd
shoals into a deep pool below, and Miss
Williams was soon unable to help her
self. As quiokly as possible Mr. Duncan
gaiued his equilibrium and went to her
reloue, swimming with her in his arms
to the shore. Besides a bad fright the
y >ung lady was unharmed, though both
had ? narrow escape.
Mr. Duncan was driving a horse from
ore of the livery stables In Seneoa. The
port? was drowned, being unable to ex
tricate itself from the tangle after it lost
its footing, tho canopy-top and buggy
filling with water and drugging the ani
mal down.
Our informaut gives Mr. Duncau high
praise for his nerve and presenoe of
mind, and but for bis quick action Miss
Williams would undoubtedly have been
drowned.
