Dunn, ~ c., Aug. 26.-After an UNI
successful attempt to commit suicide
by taking poison last night, from
which death was narrowly averted,
Miss Emma Sellers succeeded in
taking sufficient poison here this af-
ternoon to cause death. She died
at $40 o'clock. and it is remarkably
sad death, and one that is not free
from mystery.
The deceased came here about three
DAYS ago from Whiteville, to meet
one w. B. Floyd. About the same
time Miss Rebecca Jackson, of Dillon,
S. c.. came to meet one A. Hinson,
for the purpose, as she states, of mar
rying him. Both of the young girls
stopped at the same boarding house.
The young men they came to meet
are partners in the picture business,
and they are said to hail from South
Carolina. Miss Jackson states that
her father objected to Hinson calling
on her and that she came here in re-
Spouse to a letter of Hinsons to marry
him; that her father followed her and
undertook to prevent the marriage,
and to carry her home and that she
refused to go until she married Hin
son. The father went back home.
and she was to marry Hinson and fol-
low him. She states that she did not
know Emma Sellers until she came
here.
1t is now reported that both of the
girls were deceived, and that the two
picture vendors have disappeared.
Both girls are said to be of good
families.
Miss Sellers father has been advised
and will reach here tonight.
