About sunset last Saturday even ing a brutal cutting affray took place in Bentonsville township.

It is said that R. C. Beas ley who is known as Bud Beasley, was about to get Into a row with Walter Rhodes. He had his knife In hand and open. Jesse Davis interfer ed and proposed to stop Beasley from fighting Rhodes and this caused Beasley and Davis to go together. Davis had on no coat or vest. Beas ley struck him with the knife Just above the right hip and cut him to the hollow; the knife next struck the back bone and crossed it and then on the left side of the bone cut through again. He made another stroke but the second cut was not so deep. His shirt and suspenders were cut in two. It took forty to t fifty stitches to sow the places up.

Last March, tbe alumnae of (he State Normal College hi Johnston county, org.. til/.ed themselves for the purpose of raising a Loan Fund to commemorate the helpful and useful life of Dr. Chas. D. Sltlver, late president of the State Normal and Industrial College at Greensboro. This fund is to be used by worthy girls of North Carolina to enable them to receive instruction at the State Noraml. Our association here, In Johnston county, pledged, or rather let it be understood, that we would try to raise $200. This amount will enable one girl to go to school one year. As yet, so far as I know, nothing has been done to raise the money. It is time we are doing something. Already application has been made by one of our own Johnston county girls to get money from the college so as to be able to enter next fall. The loan funds of the college have all been taken and unless, we, the Alumnae of Johnston county, get to work and raise the two hundred dol lars, one of our home county girls will be denied the privilege of pur^ sueing her education and preparing herself for a larger useful) ts in our midst. Let us get to work at onci and raise the required amount. < of our sister counties has pledg< me ; thousand dollars for this pu "i.-se. Surely, the people of Johnston c< unty i are willing to give $20 > for the up I building of our own home. Miss Bessie Coats, Smithfii! \\ . C., Secretary and Treasurer o .e Johnston County Alumnae A a j tion, will gladly receive any < ? -i bution that any one desires t< ive , to this worthy cause. Not 01 he I grand and noble life of Dr. CI) '.s. D. Mclver will be honored, bu . by sending one of our own girls to the State Normal, our schools and homes will be improved. i Any suggestions as to raising the fund from members of the associa ; tion will be appreciated.

Public statements like the following are but truthful representations of the daily work done in Smithfield by Doan's Kidney Pills. Mrs. R. L. Sanders, Third St.. Smithfield, N. C., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills proved of the greatest benefit to me and I am pleased to recommend th<*n. Before they were brought to my attention, 1 suffered Continually from backache, often ac companied by sharp, darting pains through my loins. To stoop or ex ert myself in any way, caused the trouble to become much worse and consequently, I was hardly able to do my work. My strength and en ergy gradually diminished and I was bothered a great deal by the too frequent passage of th^ kidney se cretions. Learning about Doan's Kidney Pills, I started their use and soon found them to be just what 1 needed. The pains in my back ceas ed, my kidneys became normal and my health improved."
