MRS. F. c. PIPKINs.

Mrs. &c. (Emma) Pipkins, daugh-
ter Of Mr.. and Mrs. C. G. Ball, met
her death by drowning in Big Greek
on Tuesday afternoon at about 3
o'clock May 4, 1920. AS near as we
can gather from the accom- is the
excitement which such sad occur
renee would naturally create consid-
cred, lit came about as follows: She
and two girls about her age. Misses
Beatrice Hudson and Lilly Ball. were
in bathing in the creek nearly two
miles below Ball bridge and just b9
low Brushy Creeks mouth near Mrs.
Rena Balls. They waded out on a
sand bar to where there was step
off into which they Unexpectedly
plunged. Only one of them could
swim. This was Miss Hudson who
rescued Miss Ball and thought she
had rescued Mrs. Pipkins who could
not SWIM and was supposed to be
holding to the Ball girl as they we're
being towed back out of the danger
depth, but her hand-hold must have
slipped. The Ball girl became al
most unconscious when gotten out
and Miss Hudson worked with her
some and tried again to save Mrs.
Pipkins but without success, the
last being seen of her she was throw
ing her hands up out Of the water
and went down for the third time TO
rise no more.
Cleve Pipkins, the husband, was
gotten the word to where he was
for Louis Hillman nearly
two miles away, and rushed to the
scene and dived all he could to find
her in that hole some ten feet deep,
but to no avail. People IRON miles
around and from Leakesville went
there that evening and night and
the next day when at about 2 o'clock
Winfred Naples saw her body rising
some hundred yards and more below
on the opposite side of the creek and
it was brought to shore and given
burial late Wednesday afternoon at
the Os Hillman graveyard. The de-
ceased was 10 years old and In the
full bloom of life.

was no way to keep the cold wind out,

mile from the plant. was badly damaged.
The altar was damaged and the stained
glass windows blown in.
Other buildings in the small towns
nearby. Henry Clay, Squirrel Run,
Free Park and communities all the way
to Wilmington, lost most of the glass
of doors and windows.
Investigation is Begun
An investigation is being made to de-
termine If possible the cause of the ex-
plosion. The amount of black powder
which went up is estimated variously at
powder is made in the Hegley mills.
The money loss in damage to the
plant Itself and to nearby properties and
minor damage to houses and stores in
Wilmington has not been computed. 1t
is likely to run into hundreds of thou
,qnds Of dollars.
The last explosion at the Brandywine
plant was in November, 1915. 1t was
far more severe, at least in loss of
life, than the explosion today. Then
more than thirty men were killed. At
the time the explosion was blamed on
German spies.
Though the explosion in 1915 was
more deadly, residents of the little
towns nearby said the noise of the de-
tonation today was the most violent
they had ever heard.
Worst in Our Experience
"It was the worst in our experience, {"
said one woman who lives in Henry
Clay. ''The town was thrown into a
time it was impossible to learn who had
been killed. Almost every house in our
little community felt the violence of the
shock in wrecked windows and crockery
thrown off cupboard Shelves"
The du Points are not manufactur-

that their business originated, and one
Of the relics preserved on the Brandy
wine property is the old stone house
in which the first du Pont began the
of explosives.
As Wilmington began to grow in the
direction of the powder plant the e1-
plosive end of the du Pont industries
was moved farther away, and the works
near the city limits given over princi
pally to the manufacture of some of the
other articles which the com
pany manufactures.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2.-Republican and

attention again today to negotiations
for peace treaty compromise, con-

respective parties.
Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts.
the Republican leader, sent for Senator
McNary, Oregon, leader of the mild

other senators also saw Mr.. Lodge.
On the Democratic side Senator
Hitchcock, of Nebraska, party leader,
conferred with Senator Swanson, Of
Virginia, consistent supporter of tn,

Senator King, of Utah, who voted for
reservations in the last session.
1t was understood that the Article

share of attention by members of both
parties and that so far neither side
had advanced a solution which the
other would consider favorably.
