Notes and Comments About Matters
of Local Interest.
Rock Hill Record, February 6: An
alarm of fire was sent in yesterday af-
ternoon, which proved to be the Trim
ity Baptist church, colored, in the
southern part of the city. The fire
company responded promptly. but we
understand the fire had been extin-
guished before they arrived.
Gaffney Ledger, February 6: Some
little excitement was created Sunday
by a wagon burning up In Mr.. w. j.
wilkins yard. The vehicle was one
that has not been In use and was given
over to the children for playhouse.
BY some means it caught on fire and
was badly damaged before the blaze
could be extinguished.
Gastonia Gazette, February 6: Fire
which broke out about o'clock this
morning completely destroyed the res
idence Of Mr.. Lee G. Ramsey, at S1S
East Second avenue, near Church
street. Two adjoining buildings caught
afire, but were easily extinguished by
the fire company. The flames had
made such headway on Mr.. Ramsey's
residence, however, before the alarm
was given that the building could not
be saved Mr.. Leonard Dolphus
Hartsell Of Cabarrus county, died at
the City hospital Friday Afternoon at
$50 o'clock Of progressive paralysis,
following an illness extending over a
period Of six months. He had been q
patient at the city hospital for a little
more than three months.
Chester Lantern, February 6: A fire
at the home Of Mrs. Alex Macaulay,
1O1 College street, at 9 o'clock this
morning, destroyed the roof Of the
dwelling and practically burned out
the interior, causing damage which
is estimated to be in the neighbor-
hood Of $3.50. There was $1,000 in
surance on the house and $500 on
household goods, the damage to the
latter apparently being fairly well
covered by that amount. The fire start
ed from a defective fiue in Mrs. Ma
caulay's bedroom, and though Mrs.
Macaulay and several members Of the
family were in the house at the time,
the blaze was discovered by passersby,
the people in the house not knowing
of it until it had gained some headway
and the alarm had been turned in..
The many friends Of Mr.. Will Cald-
well, former editor Of the Lantern, will
be sorry to learn that he is suffering
from an attack Of measles. His Ill
ness is not dangerous, but comes at
a peculiarly inopportune time, inter-
rupting, as it does, the good work he
has been doing as Columbia corre-
spondent for the News and Courier,
while the legislature is in full swing.
Chester Reporter, February 6: Once
more it is reported that William E.
Perry, the slayer Of young Langdon L.
Boozer at the Wylie mill, In this city,
in 1905, is under arrest, although very
little Of a defirite nature has yet been
learned here about the matter. Sher-
iff Colvin has received several letters
from Henry Truesdale, at Columbus,
Ga, in regard to Perry, and In the
last letter, received on January 29th,
Truesdale said he had the right man
spotted and wanted some definite IN
formation as to Perry's appearance,
the reward, etc. Sheriff Colvin sent the
information asked for on the next
train, but has heard nothing more
from Truesdale. The following arti-
Gle, however, appeared in Saturdays
Atlanta Journal, which would seem to
lend strength to the rumor: "Colum-
bus, Ca, February 3.-A man believed
to be William Edward Perry, but
who gives his name as Haynes, was
arrested here last night as he emerged
from a cotton mill after his days
work. Perry Is wanted In Chester, 5.
c., on a charge Of numbering a man
by the name Of Boozer, In 1905, and
later kllllIlS d uSpuly oiS'i III VIM o
tempted to arrest him. A reward OF
81, 900 has been offered for his arrest.
The man arrested fills the description
given Of Perry, but declares his name
is Haynes. A detective from South
Carolina pointed him out to local off,
GERS" The facts in the foregoing par
agraph are mostly correct. Perry,
however, killed no deputy sheriff In
making his escape, this part of the
story being incorrect. The killing, 1t
will be remembered, occurred at the
wylie mill store, of which young
Boozer was the manager. Numerous
are the times that Perry's arrest has
been chronicled, but every time, un-
fortunately, 1t proved not to be the
right man. Sheriff Colvin at noon had
still received no word from the Co.
lumbus authorities, and after waiting
that length Of time sent a telegram to
Sheriff Jesse A. Beard. Mr.. w. H.
Newbold, who Is attorney for Lang
don Boozer's father, has likewise re-
ceived no direct and authentic infor-
nation Of the arrest.
