Etheridge, a white man whose arrest in the city of Atlanta some days ago was mentioned in last week's Times, was one day last week brought to Yorkville and landed in jail to await trial at the April term of court upon the very serious charge of forgery. He may also have to answer to a charge of bigamy. It is alleged that Etheridge forged two checks on a bank in New Orleans and had them cashed at Rock Hill. The specific charge against him is that he obtained money from J. C. Faris, of Catawba Junction through misrepresentations, or false pretense. He declares that he can clear himself of the charge. Some time ago, it is also alleged, Etheridge ran away with a young woman of Catawba Junction, and later came back to the county. A few days afterwards a letter was received from a woman who declared she was I wife No. 1. She lives in Forest City, Ark. Unless Mrs. Ether1 idge No. 1, comes here to prosecute Etheridge the State will not ?uiflonrp sufficient to war rant the institution of a bigamy charge. However, it is said that there is strong evidence in the false pretense case and it | will be a hard matter for the defendant to clear his skirts. Arthur Gaston, of Chester, it is stated, has been retained as counsel for the defendant. / n Ur usual Accident. Charlie Little, 16-year-old son of Mrs. Little, a widow lady who resides in the village of the Millfort mill, was the victim of an uinsua! and very painful accident Sunday afternoon.
