?Tjie second prisoner to es
i;ape irom tne county cnaingang
since its removal to this township
several weeks ago was that
on Wednesday of last week when

The negro is described
af being about 21 years of age,

Mrs. L. M. Gordon Passes Away.
Mrs. Lou Gordon, wife of Mr.
L. M. Gordon, died at her home
on White street Saturday morning
at 2.30 o'clock. The funeral
was conducted from the home by
Rev. W. M. Owintrs Stindav
morning at 10 o'clock and the interment
was made in East Side
cemetery.
Mrs. Gordon had been ill for a
month, and for the reason that
until a short time before her
death she was thought to be improving,
her death was a great
shock to her family and friends.
Mrs. Gordon was a daughter
of the late William Doster, and
was about 30 years of age. She
is survived by a husband, six
small children, the youngest a
babe of less than a year of age,
and two sisters, one of whom,
Mrs. Annie Bradshaw, of Goldsboro,
N. C., was with her when
death came. Mrs. Gordon was a
consistent member of the Methodist
church, and a good woman.
The sympathy of his many
friends goes out to Mr. Gordon
and his motherless children in
their sad bereavement.

Fonville Trial Began Friday.
The trial of Percy G. Fonville, .
alleged accomplice of Franc H.
Jones in defaulting the Charlotte
National Bank, was called
in the United States court at
Greensboro, N. C., Friday afternoon
at 3 o'clock. Quite a uumber
of witnesses were put up by
the prosecution to prove that '
Fonville was implicated with
Jones in the robbery, among the
number being Jones himself,
while Fonville offered only a few
witnesses who testified principally
as to his character. The 1
evidence of both the prosecution
and defence was all in at noon (
Monday and arguments of counsel
was begun at the convening ,
of court in the afternoon. It
could not be stated when argu- i
ments would be concluded but it
was expected Monday that a
jury ve/dict would be rendered !
yesterday afternoon or early this
morning. Among the witnesses
in attendance were the following
from Fort Mill: W. B. Ardrey, ]
C. H. Branson, J. C. Walker, 1
(now of Chester) W. B. Meacham,
B. H. Massey.
The trial of Fonville is of
much interest to the people of
Fort Mill, and especially to those
who knew him. Fonville conducted
a cotton exchange, or
bucket-shop, here the past
spring, acting as agent of Randolph
& Co., of Philadelphia, and
it was while thus engaged that
the alleged transactions between
himself and Jones took place.
During his residence here of
several months Fonville became
acquainted with a majority of
our people and was liked by all
who knew him. He was the type
of man to gain friends hurriedly
and to hold them, and by his
courteous manners and generous
nature he won the respect and
confidence of everyone with
whom he had dealings.
rONVILJ.E ACQUITTED
Yesterday's daily papers announced
that Fonville had been
acquitted of all the charges preferred
against him.
Glad the Carnival is Gone.
Says the Rock Hill Record:
"The people of Rock Hill have
many things to be thankful for
today?not the least of which
is that the carnival company has
Eulledup stakes and faded away.
et us hope that our city will not
soon again be afflicted with this
kind of aggregation."
Here's another thank that the
shows did not head this way. It
is our opinion and hope that Fort
Mill was completely disgusted
with these traveling moneygrabbers
some years ago.
