Vounir Man Loses Ills Life While Sein ing lit Paeolet Ktver. FL F. Biumgarner, u young weaver in one of the Clifton mills, was drowned in i’acolet river near Clifton one night last week. Air. Baurogarner was in seining at the time, in company with George Molt and J. C. Riddle, both of Clif ton. They hud crossed the river and were returning, when about half way over the young man 'suddenly fell and was drowned before assistance couklrrach him. It is suppesid th t he was seized with cramp, as the water was only about waist deep where he fell; though, in his strug gles, he probably got into deeper wator. He shouted for help w hen he went down and .Mr. Riddle tried to save him, hut ho sank out of sight before his would-be rescuer could reach him. Kiforts were made to find th r un fortunate man’s body that nigt, but not until one o'clock the next after noon was it recovered. The coroner held an inquest and rendered a ver dict that the young man came to his death by accidental drowning and that no blame was attached to any one. Frank Baumgarncr was about twenty-four years of age, of good habits and industrious. Ho was a native of Cleveland county, North Carolina, and marffed a Miss Bache lor, daughter of Alonzo Bachelor of Cherokee county, about eight months ago. His body was taken to Chero kee Falls for burial. A few days after he was buried a report got out that in looking over his clothes his father-in-law found blood on thorn, and holes indicating that the man had been stabbed. His relatives insisted on an examination, and, accordingly,' the body was exhumed Wednesday. Dr. Forest McKown made a thorough examina tion. but found nothing of a sus picious nature, and the body was re interred at the same place. The suspicion, it seems, originated at Cherokee Falls.

One Babe Lawing. a young white man who lives near Cowpens, went to town Saturday afternoon and straightway proceeded to fill up on moonshine liquor. About night he was gloriously drunk and became so disorderly that Policeman James Williams attempted to arrest him. Lawing resisted and a light followed, in which a knife and club were freely used. Policeman Williams, finding himself cut pretty badly, abandoned his club, drew his pistol and shot Lawing three times, in the loft arm, left shoulder and left side. Physicians examined both of the wounded men and found Lawing to be in a serious condition, he being pyalyzed in the lower extremities. Williams’ wounds, while very pain ful, are not thought to be dangerous. At last accounts Lawing was at the point of death. All the result of whiskey. Death of a L'liihl. Last Tuesday morning, just as the sun was coming up from behind the hills and the birds were beginning their morning lays, the sweet spirit of Olive, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs.. W. S. Gaffney, was taken home. AM that loving hands could do was done, hut of no avail. Just a few short days she suffered, then the Great Physician healed all her pain, and only the little casket that had held the precious jewel was left to be placed in the old Providence cemetery, whore loving hands tenderly covered the iiltle mound with beautiful flowers, sweet tokens of a resurrection. Little Olive was just ut au age to bo so sweet and loving. Just begin ning to lisp childish words and to be such a joy to her fond parents; but the Father knew best and now Olive is safe, safe in the arms of Jesus Nriatte UheuiiiHtlHUi Cured After Fourteen Yrurn of NutTerlng.
