from England where he had been since
July. He sailed in that month from
Norfolk on a horseboat for England
and upon arrival there enlisted IN the
English army. Being under age. only
about IS, his father took steps, through
Congressman f. Y. Webb, to secure
his release from the army and succeed
ed after going through quite good
deal of red tape. Ed arrived in New
York from Liverpool few days ago
and came on to Gastonia- He was In
training camp with 5000 English
soldiers near Bristol, England. Most
of the 5000, he said, were Americans
like himself. A few others had secured
releases. Life in the training camp is
pretty hard according to Ed. The boys
are drilled in trench digging and often
were on practice marches until MID
night and after. The plan was, he says
to teach the recruits in three months
what ordinarily required Is months.
They had plenty to eat, he says. Asked
as to what the people in England
seemed to think Of the war Ed replied
that the struggle has only begun.

Hobson BraSington and Miss Verde
May Hinson repaired to the Baptist
pastorium at Heath Springs about
1880 o'clock Sunday afternoon, Octo-
Der oath, where they were united in the
holy bonds Of matrimony.. .... Early
Saturday night while Mr.. j. C. Trues-
dale was on the road to his home,
about half mile distant therefrom,
he was fired upon by some one secret
ed on the side Of the road. The assail-
ant Immediately fled in the darkness.
The shot, No. 4, a dozen or more, took
effect in the right side Of Mr. Trues-
dale's face, inflicting serious, although
not necessarily fatal wounds. Shortly
after the shooting communication was
had with Sheriff Hunter over the tele-
phone, who although sick, left at once
in an automobile for the scene Of the
trouble He soon found where the as
sailant Of Mr.. Truesdale stood on the
side of the road and tracked him across
piece of cultivated ground to some
woods, where he found a horse and
buggy had been hitched. Making in
quires he ascertained a man driving
horse and buggy had gone on up the
road and by following and making
further inquiries he traced the horse
and buggy near to the home Of Mr..
Ernest G. Bell. Shortly after reach
ing the vicinity Of Mr.. Bells home,
Mr.. Bell came to the sheriff and ad-
mitted that he had shot Mr.. Trues-
dale, assigning as his reason domes-
tic troubles, the nature of which it is
unnecessary to mention. Mr.. Trues-
dale denies the charge made by Mr..
Bell. Both men had been in Heath
Springs that day. Bell married a niece
of Truesdale's wife. Bell was brought
on to town and lodged in Jail by the
sheriff. The affair Is very regrettable
one, as both Truesdale and Bell are
connected with some of the best
families in the county. YESTERDAY
