IT? 1 'i-m -uii-ii ' -- 1 ' U aged veteran returns Iiigruhaiu WiUon, Long Believed Dead, 1h Hack Ak?im in Ruck Hill Rock Hill, March 144.?Thirty-Uirt?#j yeara after he disappeared, Ingrahurn Wilson, long believed dead, was back again today among friends and loved ones in Hock Hill. lie was found in a home for old soldiers at Dayton, Ohio, his sistbfr, Mrs. Alexander Dong, wife of one of the South's most prominent textile executives and his brother, Dr. DeFoix Wilson, prominent Spartanburg physician, and is now the guest nt the home of Mrs. Long here. In addition to these are two sisters, the Misses Anna l.atta and Florence Wilson of Rock Hill and Hon. Stanyarne Wilson, of Richmond, One brother, W. B. Wilson, Sr., is dead. Aged, crippled with rheumatism until it is necessary to use Crutches, and somewhat bewildered by the changes which have been wrought in the passing of years, the reclaimed brother is slowly becoming reacclimated and meeting again old friends. A story of a desire to protect his family from what he felt a disgrace, after having been discharged from the United States grmy following an altercation with an officer and of his subsequent' adoption of the name of "James Dowry" in order to re-enlist several years later, of his being sent to the soldiers' home, of his subsequent discovery and return to Rock Hill, have color equal to any fiction plot. Mr. Wilson left home in 1894 and unknown to his family enlisted in the army at Atlanta. Stationed at Fort McPherson, he became embroiled in a difficulty with an officer and was discharged. His discharge was not equivalent to "dishonorable discharge," he said, but even this he felt to be a disgrace, so-he determined to "lose himself." In 1896 he responded to the call of President McKinley for volunteers to subdue natives in the Philippines, re-enlisting as "James Lowry." He recounts experiences of his company in twenty-eight engagements with the Moros. When his regiment returned to the United States he was sent to the hospital, and guarding closely the secret of his identity he determined to spend the remainder of his days there. Here fate took a hand. A friend of the family visiting in Gastonia and York remarked that he had met .an old soldier in the Dayton home named "James Lowry" and that he had been peculiarly interested in South Carolina and more particularly in the old town of "Yorkville." Word came to Mrs. Long and with Dr. Wilson she went to Dayton, Ohio, to investigate in hopes that "James Lowry," a name long in the family, might be the brother. Here came the most dramatic chapter of the story. Walking down the long aisles of hospital cots, the searchers looked in vain for their brother. Reaching the end of the last aisle, they prepared to turn away disappointed when they spied a soldier at the very end asleep. They bent over him and found it was their brother. The long lost brother says as he awoke and as he looked up into his sister's face, he had a dreamy impression it was the face of his mother, dead many years. The meeting over, he Agreed to return to live with his people. The final chapter will be written i when his full right name is restored and "James Lowry" becomes Ingraham Wilson again. Such steps are being taken by Congressman W. F. Stevenson. Kiss Shortens Life Three Minutes Gunnison, Colo., March 25.?A kiss shortens human life three minutes, students in the department of psychology at Western State College here have decided. A survey in genetic psychology showed that a kiss causes such palpitation of the heart that the extra beats of that organ amount-to the normal number taking place in three minutes. Figures that are interesting, if true, show that 480 kisses would shorten life by one full day and that 3,360 kisses would eliminate one week.
