Rock Hill Lad, Son Of a For
mer Lancastrian, Had Mar
row Escape from Death.

Rock Hill special in Mondays
News and Courier: Ross, the
little seven-year-old son of Mr..
]. G. Lindsay, of this city, had a
very narrow escape from instant
death Saturday afternoon.
Ross and his older brother,
Howard, were playing soldier in
the house during the rain and
Howard picked up shotgun,
aimed it at Ross's heart and pul
led the trigger. The stiffness of
the trigger saved the little fel
lows life, for it caused Howard
to pull the gun off sight and the
load of shot tore a hole in the
wall instead of through Ross's
head.
Mr.. Lindsay had put cart
ridge in the gun q night or two
before on hearing some disturb
ance in the yard. AS a usual
thing the gun was empty and
Howard never thought of it be-
ing otherwise.
One of the shot struck the boy
in the neck, but did little in
jury.

Death Of Mrs. 7. c. Hicks.
She Succumbed to an Attack

oilN SilSSoo y0SIeiudy
morning when the sad fact be
came known that Mrs. II. G.
Hicks, one of Lancaster's most
estimable and greatly beloved
ladies, had passed away. Her
death occurred Monday night at
$50 O'Clock at the Hicks home
on Main street, after a very brief
illness. She was taken sick Sat
urday afternoon, but her condi-
tion was not regarded as at all
serious, it being thought at the
time that she was suffering from
exhaustion, care aud worry Incl
dent to and resulting from nurs-
ing her very sick daughter, En-
telle, who has been, and is still,
desperately iii with pneumonia.
Sunday however, Mrs. Hicks de-
veloped symptoms of that much
dreaded disease meningitis,
which culmin ated in her death
as stated. The end came while
surrounded by her loved ones,
husband, children, brothers and
sisters.
The sudden death of Mrs.
Hicks is another reminder of the
uncertainty of life and a striking
exemplification of the mysterious
dispensations of Providence. In
the prime of her matured wo
manhood, happy in her domestic
relations and in the enjoyment
of perfect health. she had every
promise of long and useful life
before her.
Mrs. Hicks was a lady of COM
manding and attractive personal
ity. charming manners and low
able disposition. She possessed
an exalted type of christian char
acter, and to know her was to
admire the many noble traits
which were manifest in her dai-
ly walk and conversation. She
was fondly devoted to her hus-
band and children and was ever
solicitous for their welfare and
happiness. Naturally warm
hearted and generous, she was
indeed a friend to the sick, the
poor and the needy.
Mrs. Hicks's maiden name was
Margaret Elizabeth Mackorell,
was a native of Blacksiock, this
state, and was AZ years of age.
She was daughter of Mr.. j. @.
M Mackoreli, now q resident o.
Winnsboro. She was twice mar
rieG. Her first husbane was the
late H. Y. Milling, to whom she
was married Nov. II, 1889, Mr.
Milling being at the time sheriff
of Fairfield county. Mr.. and Mrs
Milling moved to Lancaster in
1895, the husband dying here
some nine or ten years ago.
In jane, 1900, the subject of this
