Mr. lerrei naa oeen making
flights at the county fair here
this week and was scheduled to
make his last appearance at 3
o'clock this afternoon. 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

to the ground a few feet from

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

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

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

ail having been killed or disa
bled for life.
Nothing in the history of this

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.

Kidnapped For Twenty Years
Pee Dee Advocate
While at the depot looking for
news items last Saturday afternoon,
an Advocate reporter
found Tims Gaddy, and in a
brief interview before the train
left, obtained some interesting
information about Mr. Gaddy's
career. 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.
