Frances Gundy is Refusing Her Meals
at the Lee County Jail
II 10 Discov-
cred
NO REASON rs GIVEN
Inmate is Indicted on Murder Charge
and the Action May be
Play for Sym
pathy.

A hunger strike has been declared !
by one inmate OF the Lee county Jail.
She is Frances Gundy. the colored
woman indicted for the murder OF
Vergie Blair. Just why she has TAX
en- this strange method of procedure
no one seems able to fathom, though
any numbsr of guesses can be made.
For two days, now and part OF an
other, the Gundy woman has refused
to touch the tray which the jailer
has brought her She will give no
reason. and the authorities are baffled
10y the woman's actions.
1t was suggested that possibly the
woman had turned militant suffra-
gette and was trying the method
which has become so popular with
the English militants. However, there
would be practically nothing to be
gained by such action on the part OF
thu Gundy woman so no one Sc ms
able to figure out the real reason.
She gives no reason for her action
so far as anyone can discover She
| has made no kick on the menu tnat
| has been served her and it seems to
be just q case of doggedness on the
girls part. Forcible feeding may
have to be resorted to if the woman
insists on this course of action.
The only plausibls reason for the
woman's action is that she Is enaeav-
oring to make herself sick, or to Sc
cure sympathy through this dodge"
There seems to be no other explana-
ton. Shs Is indicted under first de-
gree murder and is held in the coun'
ty Jail to await trial which will be
as soon as some Of the other ca les
are removed from the docket.
Up until two and half days age
the young colored woman was not
backward in eating, but since then
she has put the brakes on her appe
tite with such rapidity that the OH
cials are becoming alarmed at hsl
actions.
The state, it is aimed, has
strong case against the woman, am
this by-play may be the purpose @
exciting sympathy or of starting tbs
rumor that some variety of demen
: tias has attacked the girl.

PRESCRIPTION
For a Long Life.

This is the prescription for a long
life given by an old gentleman in Con-
necticut, who is ninety-nine years old
and still well and cheerful, Live
temperately, be slow to anger, don't
worry, take plclty of exercise in the
fresh air, and, above all, keep cheer
full"
Should the system get run down
digestive organs weak-the blood thin
and sluggish, take Vinol, which is a
delicious combination of the medicine
bodybuilding properties of Gods
livers, with the useless grease elimi-
mated and tonic iron added. We re-
gard Vinol as one of the greatest
body-builders and strength-creators in
the world for aged people.
Mrs. Mary Ivey, of Columbus, Ca,
says: eff people only knew the good
Vinol does old people, you would be
unable to supply the demand; it is
the finest tonic and strength-creator
/ ever used"
We wish every feeble old per-
son in this vicinity would try
Vinol "a our agreement to return their
money Il it fails to give satisfaction.
