Gaffney Ledger, Aug. 16: A party OF
children out riding in Mr.. w. F
Smiths automobile yesterday after
near Mr.. H. D. Wheat's residence
Wyatt Jefferies was at the steering
wheel of the machine when the acci-
dent occurred. 1t seems that the steer

shaken up considerably and somewhat
bruised, but beyond being badly fright

perience.' The car was badly damaged
one wheel being practically torn off. 80.

Gastonia Gazette, Aug. 16: John B.
Sellers was not murdered. He Is alive
and at home, his only injuries being
the natural wear and tear on his sys-
tenn resulting from exposure to the
weather for four days and nights. That
time he spent imprisoned in a gully fif-
teen feet deep about two and a half
miles west Of Cherryville in the direc-
ton Of his home. He was found there
Wednesday morning about $50 o'clock
by a party of searchers. Aside from
being considerably exhausted because
Of lack Of food and water, he was all
right. He was too weak, however, to
get out of the gully and it was neces-
sary to give him assistance. He was
taken to his home not far from the
place he was found. To his rescuers
Sellers stated that he fell in the gully
while intoxicated and relieved every
body of any responsibility whatever for
his plight. Yesterdays Cherryville
Eagle says: From the information OBJ
tainable Sellers drove from his home to
Cherryville last Friday to attend the
celebration. He was seen last Satur-
day morning at 3 o'clock going in the
direction of where he was found We'd
nesday morning. He says he fell into
the ditch about midnight Friday, but it
is pretty certain that he lay in the ditch
from about 4 o'clock Saturday morn
ing until 8 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing when he was found. His arm and
side on which he lay all this time
seemed to be paralyzed and his collar
bone dislocated. He says he went
through the woods to head off his horse
and fell into the ditch. His horse and
buggy was found Saturday morning
near the depot here, so he must have
been mistaken as to that. A bottle of
whisky was found in the ditch near
where he lay which fell from his pock-
ct when he landed in the ditch. Sell
lers says no one harmed him, that
he only is responsible for his con-
dition. The man is in a right serious
condition and could not possibly have
survived much longer had he not been
found. .... On Monday Of this week
Mr.. R. q. Robinson, of Mount Holly,
route two, had the misfortune to lose
his planning machinery and several
thousand feet Of lumber by fire. His
saw mill and other buildings were saw
ed by the strenuous work Of neighbors
who gathered at the alarm and aided
him in fighting the flames. .....A we'd
ding which comes as a surprise to the
large circle of friends Of the bride was
celebrated last evening about o'clock
at the manse of Chalmers Memorial AS
sociate Reformed Presbyterian church
in Charlotte, when Miss Frances Es-
telle Lindsay. daughter Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John D. Lindsay, became the
bride of Mr.. L. D. Profit, prominent
architect of Spartanburg, S. c. The
ceremony was performed by Rev. r. E.
Hough. Only members Of the family
had any suspicion of the approaching
event. The groom came over from
Spartanburg a day or so ago in his
auto. Yesterday afternoon they motor
ed over to Charlotte and the news OF
their marriage was brought last night
in a telegram to the brides parents
They arrived in Gastonia this fore
noon and will go to Spartanburg in
their machine this afternoon. They
will make their home there. The bride
is a most attractive and popular young
lady and was until recently a sales
lady at Thomson's. She has a large
circle of friends all Of whom will regret
to know that she is to make her home
elsewhere. The groom is we'll ll-known
architect of the Spartan city having
charge of the branch office there of A,
TenEyck Brown, a prominent Atlanta
