FELL INTO A WELL. Young Lady in Pickens County Had A Miraculous Escape From Death Miss Mattie Chapman, daughter of a well known citizen of Piekens countj, fell into a well of forty flie feet deep with five feet of water in it last Sunday. By a miracle the young lady escaped serious injury. The following from the PickeI Sentinel Journal tells of the narrow escape of Miss Chapman: "Mr. Chapman tells that the day before his daughter Miss Mattie, aged about 19, went to the well to draw a bucket of water. There was a sliding ,door to the top, and the box was bad ly rotted. .As Miss Mattie was reach ing to seize the bucket the entire top of the well gave away, and fell in. car rying the young lady with it. The well was forty-five feet in depth, with five feet of water. At the time of the -acident Mr. Chapman was sitting out ,on his piazza reading. He saw his daughter start to the well with a bucket, and when he heard the noise caused by the giving away of the well house knew that Eometlhing had hap pened. "One can imagine the father's feelings when he reached the scene of the accident and glancing down into the depths saw his daughter's peril ous position. At first he did not know whether she was killed or not by the fall. He asked her if she was 3*uch hurt. The answer came back that she did not think she was harm ed much. The rope windlas and buck et were left intact, and Me. Chap man next inquired if she felt able to be drawn up, or must some one go down for her. The brave young lady told her father to hurry up and carefully lower the rope and bucket and she could ascend unaided. This was done, and planting her feet in the bucket and holding on to the rope Miss Mattie was safely landed on terra firma. She was shivering with cold, having been completely immers ed in the icy water, but with this ex ception not the slightest harmed-the water having broken the force of the box on which she was carried down. 'Had the well been - dry, she would have been seriously injured if not killed. After changing her clothes and lying down a short time )Iiss Mattie resumed her domestic duties, as if she had not so recently ta'ken the frightful paraehute leap into the well and an immersion in !that chilling water.''
