day night and sustained injuries
that caused his death several
hours later at the Savannah Hos
pital, were sent to Sumter, S. c.,
early this morning for interment.
An account of Mr.. Persons
tragic death was given in the
Morning News yesterday. With
his bride to be, her sister and her
mother, Mr.. Pierson was on his
way to the Union Station to meet
Mrs. Westendorff's 13-year-o1d

A TRIP TO SOUTH GEORG
Experiences of Mr.. and Mrs. A. B. Thompson 4
While Travelling in the Beautiful Wiregrass r.
gion, as Told in the Mansfield Leader.

The following letter is taken
from the Mansfield Leader, in
which has appeared several 9TH
ers of the series. We publish
this letter because it touches
Fitzgerald and with the kind per-
mission of the author will publish
the next, when it appears, in
which she proposes to tell about
Fitzgerald:
After leaving our stopping
place at noon Sunday, August IA,
two miles beyond Hawkinsvil1e,
we came into the piney woods
region. On each side of the road
were tall straight pines with
rich, long leaves, cut straight
down from about six feet above
the ground half way around the
tree (tapping think it is called)
with a cup cut at the root of the
tree which holds the turpentine.
A thick resin comes out all over
the half of the tree that is tapped.
More than two gallons is taken
from some of the trees. Now, ]
may have an over-strained idea
about the amount, but there ap-
peared to be as much as that.

FELL ON PAVEMENT.
Early last night Miss Weston
dorff, her mother and Mr.. Pier
son started for the Union Station
and boarded Liberty street car.
The car was almost at a stand
still when Mr.. Pierson stepped
off for the purpose of assisting
Miss Westendorff and her
mother. In some way he missed
his footing and fell backwards,
striking on his head on the vitri-
ed brick pavement.
He was unconscious when as
sistance reached him and never
spoke after falling. The police
am bu1ance was summoned and
DR.. w. w. Owens was called.
Mr.. Pierson was taken to the
Savannah Hospital where an ex-
animation was made. There
was no evidence of a fracture of
the skull, although he never re-

FRUSTRATED BY HER frances
DEATH.
Miss Westendorff and her
mother went to the hospital and
we're almost Frustrated when Mr..
Persons death was made known
to them. 1t had been hoped that
his injuries were net of serious
nature, and his death was great
shock to his intended bride.
Mr.. Pierson, until about four
years ago, was engaged in the
lumber and sawmill business at
WATERFORD, and was successful.
He retired and had spent con-
siderable of his time in travelling.
Several months ago he met Miss
Westendorff at her mothers
home in this city, and friend
ship which he had cherished for
the family in South Carolina,
r1pened into love tor the dau-
ghter he met here. All arrange
ments had been made for the
wedding and a bridal trip was to
have been made to St. Louis.
The remains will probably be
taken to WATERFORD or Charles

ACCIDENTAL POISONING
Morrisvills Family Poisoned By Arsenic In
Unknown Manner.

A case of accidental poisoning in
the family of Newell Ellsworth, of
Morrisville, has been discovered and
Mr. and Mrs Ellsworth and youngest
son have been dangerously i'll, the
two former since last Thursday, the
boy having become i'll a short time
previous to the others. Mr. Ellsworth
and son are now out OF danger and
Mrs Ellsworth will probably recover,
although very ill.
DR. George Bates, the family physi-
clan, says that there is no question
about the nature of their illness as
every indication points to arsenical
poisoning, although as yet the source
of the trouble is a mystery.
