clue as to how the Sre occured.

.'Robert Hedgepeth, a youn
white man in the employ of the
Southern Powercompany, was
killed as the result of coming in
contact with a live wire while
working on the line just across
the river from the India Hook
plant last Sundae morning at 9
o'clock. It appears that young
Hedgepeth had gone to the top
of a thirty foot pole for the pur
pose of making certain repairs.
The current was supposed to
have been cut off, but as to this
it has not been practicable to
get exact iuformation. A state
ment is that a hafld rope was
thrown to Mr. Hedgepeth and
almost immediately afterwards
he wa dead. It is supposed
that a circuit was formed with
the t-round through his body;
but just how is not clear. Mr.
Hedgepeth was a resident of the
Newport neighborhood and was
26 or 27 years of age. There
has been nO inquest...

Mr. J. H. Save,' of Sharon,
has beeu iu Yorkville several
times since bis recent severe ill
ness as the result of a mosquito
bite, and was here again yester
day. The doctor fell off twenty
five or thirty pounds during bis
illness; but has gotten most of
it back and is now getting along
very nicely. He expects' to be
his old self again within a few
weeks more. Rev. W. C. Ewart
conducted communion services
at Pisgah last week, commenc
ing on Friday. He leayes for
Chester Friday to take part in
the installation of Rev. C. E.
McDonald as pastor of the Chester-Associate
Reformed church.
He will go from Chester to
Winnsboro,- and Winnsboro to
Edgmore, returning about
Thursday of next week. -Information
from Mr. J. Ed Leech,
who has been in the hospital at
Chester for about ten days, is to
the effect that his condition is
not encouraging. The physi
cians first amputated the infect
ed toe, and afterward, took off
the foot. There is reason to
fear, however that the poison
had already made progress be
yond the point of amputation
and Mr. Leech's condition con
tinues very serious. -

Nothinid His Whereabouts is
Known-Foul Play Is Suspect
The following special irom
Cberryville to Charlotte Obser
ver of yesterday will be read
with interest by mauy in' the
county: "Mr. E. T. Ponder,
frtnerl a re ident of this place
who went to Augusta, Ga., dur
nig tbtf tfU-graphers strike to
to take a position with the Pos
al Co.. left that citv on the
12ih of October in response to
message saying that his wife
htie was sick, He has nut ar
rived here yet and nothing what
ever has been heard relative to
his whereabouts.
"Mr. Conder was a member of
the Pythian and Masonic orders
of this place, and in reply to a
message sent by Mr. J. F. Har
relson on 20th he received a tel
egram the following day from
Augusta, saying that Mr. Con-
ddr had several checks on his
person and something like $100
in cash when he left that city.
He also had a ticket over the
Southern to this place. His
disappearance is a complete
mystery, but it is suspected that
h e has met with foul play.
Every effort possible is being
made to find some trace of him
NOTABLE MEDICAL DISCOVERY
Or Special Value to Many Here la
Gastonia.
One of the most notable dis
coveries and one that undoubt
edly appeals more than anything
else to m&ny people here in Gas
tonia is the combination of stom
ach remidies in the ,Mi-o-na
treatment. This prescription
has worked wonders, and there
is now no excuse for anyone suf
fering with indigestion or weak
stomach.
. It acts specifically upon the
muscles of the stomach and bow
els, stiengthening and stimulat
ing them so that they readily
take care of the food that is
eaten. It also increases the fl6w
of gastiic juices, thus getting
from the food the nourishru
that is necessary for healtf
energy.
The symptoms of mdigf
are numerous, such as distress"
after eating, flatulence, heart
burn, sick headaches, dizziness
and irritability. These are all
dispelled by a few doses of Mi-
o-na when the trouble is recent,
but just as surely in long stand
ing atrd chronic cases if the
treatment is followed for a rea
sonable length of time.
So positive are the good ef
fects following the use of Mi o
na that the remedy is sold by J.
H. Kennedy & Co. under an ab
solute guarantee to refund the
money if it should fail to cure.
