He rose without mishap from the track, which was massed with people on either side. He rapidly rose to a height of about 500 feet and flew to the edge of town, circled and headed back toward the fair grounds. As he appeared in sight it was seen that he was having trouble with his engine. The police had been unable to hold back the crowd and the track, on which he was to land, was thronged with people. The descent of the machine into the crowd would have meant the death of many persons. Terrel quickly made the decision which cost him his life and made him a hero. His engine having stopped he gave the marhino a ?nir?lr tmict fVir. i n 101 iv/ HlVx ll^lll and with the aeroplane was hurled to the ground a few feet from the fence, against which the big crowd was massed. The following account was r attempted his second flight and had rised to a height of about 300 feet, when turning his machine to re-circuit the fair grounds, making a "dip" as he came, the machine collapsed and fell crushing to the ground where it now lies a heap of shat tered ruin. The crowd witnessing the flight numbered about 600 and when the explosion occurred and the machine darted sudden ' ly downward, there went up a great heart-renderihg cry from the vast throng, for all knew that the daring young aviator KiaH murlo liir loot flinrlit tlUU I11UUV II 11 IUJI The machine reached the ground in a cotton field adjoin ing the fair grounds. It is thought by many that Mr. Ter rell knew his machine had col lapsed and was making an effort to effect a safe landing. It is claimed by a number that he signalled. His body was terri blv mangled and crushed and while he breathed once 01 oftnr cfrtlr?nrv ! ?/? rvi* miLL unvi oilirvill^ 11HJ Cell (11, life was practically extinct. Drs. Perry, Gardner and Teal were quickly at his -side and made every effort possible but noth ing could be done. Mr. Terrell is survived by his mother, who is eighty years of age and his wife?a bride of seven months. Mrs. Terrell - stood by her husband up to the time of the flight on Thursday and was the first one to greet him when he landed safely. All day Friday the devoted young couple were promenading the fair grounds together up to the time of the flight. Mrs. Terrell, it is said, plead with her husband to give up aviation, and she begged him on both days not to go up. Aviator Terrell has been fly ing three years. He was a na tive of Worcester, Mass. Out of a class in aviation ol 14, there are now only two left ail having been killed or disa bled for life. Nothing in the history of this inuum or rignung Brings Little Change London, Nov. 14.?8:15 p. m. ?The battle of Flanders which was brought about by the German attempt to advance to Dunkirk and Calais, on the northern coast of France, commenced just four weeks ago today and despite terrific fighting and the sacrifice of thousand of lives, the two armies still hold virtually the same positions as when the first shot w as fired. After taking Antwerp and Ostend, the German forces pro ceeded with little or no opposi tion as far as Nieuport on the Yser Canal. Here they found against them the reformed Belgian army as well as an enfilading fire from British monitors and they were unable to make progress. Food then completed the discomfiture of the invaders and they commenc ed an effort to break through the Allied line between Dixmude and Ypres. Tlie Germans have had one or two minor?sometimes only temporary?successes, such as the crossing of the canal and the capture of Dixmude, hut now, according to official and other reports, while they hold a part of Dixmude, they are back on the east side of the canal and again have slackened their attacks. The weather, which has been storming with heavy rains, says the statement of the German general army headquarters, has disturbed their operations. This may wed '^trvr f?^ n <?ple v.M * ^ v ... UO OSS the English channel during the past few days say a high wind has been driving the rain across the open spaces, swelling the trench es and making it next to impos sible for the men to protect themselves. Storm Interferes With Armies London, Nov.15.?After iour weeks of most desperate fighting there is a lull in the battle in Flanders. Little relief however, had come for the men in the trenches, as the artillery and rifle fire has been replaced by a severe November storm. In some parts of England the storm has become a blizzard; on the sea a heavy gale rages, and the battlefields are getting their full share of wind and rain. i?or tne most part the opposing armies have been content to shell each other at long range, but the Germans have made several attacks around Yprcs, which according to the French general staff, have been repulsed with heavy losses. Extensive defense works have been erected along the Ysei canal and the French armies are holding that line from the Bel gian borders south to the rivei Oise, and pushing forward approach works which place them in better position for either de fense or offense.

He said that when he was an eight-year-old hoy, in the lower part of this county, 26 years aeo, he went with some other boys to a show at Clio. There he was kidnapped by Jeff Williams and taken to his home in Randolph county, N. C. The family made every effort to find him, but failed. He remained with Williams till after he was 21 and then he went to Thompson, Ga., where he went to work in a cotton mill eight years as a weaver. A few days ago he decided to come back to Marlboro and try to find his relatives. At Columbia he met up with Jasper T. Esterling, who was deputy sheriff here un der Sheriff B. A. Rogers when Gaddy was taken from Clio. Mr. Easterling is now a magistrate in Columbia. He gave Gaddy a letter of introduction to J nines F. McGilvrav of Clio. He arrived at Clio Friday, Oct. 16, and Mr. McGilvary helped him locate his living relatives. He found that his father, George Gaddy, was gored to death by a bull a number of years ago. He found a brother, a sister, and several other relatives. When seen here Saturday, Mr. Gaddy was on his way to DarUugt^^her^h^iad^ecureda the noon train from Drake and saw her brother for a little while for the first time since he so mysteriously disappeared 26 years ago. ^VViWWVWVII J * lhoma | i Acts | this Proseason i :k NOV. 18 i rlum ?
