LATHE McCurley, twelve year old
girl employed at the Orr Mills, met a
tragic death In rather unusual man
The girls work was to run one of the
spinning frames in the mill, and she
had an open knife in the pocket of her
apron, presumably to cut the threads
on the epools. She started down the
aisle between two rows Of machines,
and stumbling over the foot of another
employee was thrown to the floor. The
handle OF the knife struck the floor
body fell upon the blade, which enter,
ed her left breast and pierced the
heart. The girl attempted to get up,
put fell down again and expired. No
blame for the distressing accident at
ttaches to any one. The regulations of
the mill, It 1s understood, forbid TIE
uee OF knives in the work, and the
glrl was carrying 1t open in q thought
from Hart County, Georgia, and the
remains of the daughter will be car
ried back to the old home for inter- 1
ment.
The Pickens correspondent of the
Columbia State, under date Of the 10th
lnst.. says: "Mr. and Mrs: William l..
visit to their son, DR.. James L. Bolt.
Mt. Bolt was o gallant soldier in the
Civil War and relates some remini-
scences that are unusually interesting.
Hs lost leg at Boonesboro, Md, and
fell into the hands Of the Federals and
was carried 10 q tederti prison, where
he fingered with hia wound fer s!s
months. He feels satisfied that he
owes his life to the surgeon into whose
kind hands it was his good fortune to
fall. He has had the pleasure Of hear
ing from the surgeon q number of
times since the war. and is exceedingly
attached to- him. While he fingered in
the hospital, he wrote several times
when first wounded to bis wife, but re-
letters were not being delivered. The
fact is. they were delivered as they
were nnsealed, but his wife sent hers
sealed and they could not be delivered.
He ceased writing when he concluded
that his letters were not being deliver
ed, and of course his wife naturally
took it for granted that he was dead.
When six months later he returned
home he found his wife Glad in mourn
ing. Mr.. Bolt is glad that he reached
nome before matters reached the pa
thetic stage Of poor Enoch Arden"
